Nia: "If that's all then I would Like to move on from this place." she says looking away from Ligma and Waifu.
Waifu: "Yea lets go Ligma." she says standing up.
Ligma: "Alright."
The trio go deeper into this house passing through where the knight came through.
When passing through they find themselves on the balcony of a big open room. Looking forward they see that the balcony leads outside the room.
The room was covered with hollows at the bottom wandering aimlessly.
Upon moving a couple of feet forward, they notice a room to the left. It had a light coming from it, but something wasn't right the light was swaying and unpredictable in its movements.
Nia: "I almost certain there's a hollow in that room, I'll handle it." she says taking her axe from her back.
Moving slightly forwards the light grew frantic as a hollow emerged from the room. The light was a lantern attached to its waist.
The hollow come out ready to swing holding its sword above its head targeted at Nia.
Nia without wasting a moment takes a step to the right evading the hollow. Once the hollow swings and hits nothing it looks up and sees Ligma and Waifu but before it could act Nia swings her axe decapitating the hollow.
The hollows head falls down and rolls of the edge to the bottom of the room. Looking down the hollows down there don't seem to notice.
Nia: "Welp that's that, let's go." she said putting her axe on her back and dusting off her hands.
So, the trio head through the doorway leading out the room. Upon leaving the room they find themselves somewhere outside on a staircase that at the bottom leads back into the room.
Waifu: "This will probably put us on the same level as those big hollows."
Nia: "Maybe, just be prepared." she said walking down the stairs.
Upon going down the stairs and reentering the room they find yet another crossroads. A path to the left that goes down a small staircase to the same level as the hollows and the path to the right that stays elevated and raps around the room.
Ligma: "So right?" she says looking at Nia.
Nia: "Indeed." she says going right.
The right path leads to a small room in the corner of the room.
When entering the room, they find a thief hollow sleeping next to a chest.
Waifu: "Oh god a chest." she says holding her staff close.
Ligma: "I don't think this one is a mimic." she says crossing her arms.
Waifu: "How would you know that?" she says looking up to Ligma.
Ligma: "Well if we look around there are a lot of hollows here, if this was a mimic it surely would have eaten all of them by now."
Looking over to the sleeping hollow they find it had been decapitated by Nia who stands over it.
Nia: "You guys should really reevaluate your priorities, this hollow could have attacked at any moment." she says putting her axe on her back.
Ligma: "Good point, I'll be more careful next time."
While Ligma and Nia were talking Waifu walked up to the chest and opened it and found a silver medium shield with an egal on it.
Waifu: "Wow this looks cool, can I have it?" she said holding the shield above her head.
Ligma: "I guess so, I usually like my talisman in my left hand any way."
Nia: "I could use it, but I feel like you could use it more than me so go for it."
With this shield Waifu could protect herself if the enemy got to close. It could spare her from an event that could result in her death, If Ligma couldn't heal her.
Nia: "Let's keep moving." she said motioning to the left were there's a doorway leading out the room.
Walking out the room they find the floor is now wood scaffolding. Looking forward they find the scaffolding cuts off and at the edge is another sleeping hollow.
Nia pulls out her axe and with one slash decapitates the hollow.
Waifu: "Why do you always decapitate them?"
Nia: "Just to make sure they stay dead for as long as possible... Let's go." she says turning around.
Ligma: "Wait." she says putting her hand on Nia's shoulder.
Nia: "What?" she says with a displeased expression on her face.
Ligma: "I counted there are 3 big hollows down there, do you really think we can handle that all at once."
Nia: "..." she looks down at the wondering hollows.
Ligma: "I don't know for sure, but those barrels down there look like they have been stuffed with explosive powder." she says pointing at the barrels.
With the hollows were scattered barrels, some close to a hollow some farther away.
Nia: 'I see." she says lighting up her pyromancy hand.
Ligma: "Before you do it, I don't know how smart they will be so they might look around if they see their buddy get blown into a million pieces." she says taking her hand from Nia's shoulder.
Nia: "Got it."
With that Nia conjured a fire ball in her hand and threw it at a group of barrels next to two hollows an axe and a halberd hollow.
The sound that came from the blast rang throughout the room. The two hollows that got caught in the blast are now gone only blood stains are left of them.
Nia: "HAHAHA, the queen of fire sends her regards." she says with her hands placed on her hips.
Waifu: "So cool."
Ligma: "Did you just refer to yourself in the third person." she says slumping her shoulders.
Nia: "The queen of fire refuses to answer that question."
Waifu: "Guys You missed one." she says pointing at the room they were in.
An axe hollow with the top half of its body obscured in shadows towers over Waifu.
Nia: "You did say there was three huh." she says looking at the hollow.
Before Nia or Ligma could react the Hollow lifts its axe and brings it down on Waifu.
But before the axe could reach Waifu, she raised he shied above her head and blocked the attack.
It wasn't easy, when the axe made contact with the shield the sound of metal smashing together rang all throughout the room.
Waifu could barely withstand the strike the shear force caused her to collapse after she blocked it.
Before it could pick its axe back up the hollow was hit in the face by a mace.
This caused it to fall to its right, it caught itself with its right hand letting go of its weapon. It held the left side of its face were her was struck with its left hand.
Before the hollow could even remove its hand from its face the right side of its jaw was slashed by Nia's axe causing its mouth to sag open on its right side.
Not a second later Its left arm which was still on its face was struck at the forearm completely crushing its forearm leaving it limp.
Looking up It sees its attackers it saw two women attacking in perfect sync with each other.
And just as it thought it could get up...
Waifu: "SOUL ARROW!"
An arrow of blue magic struck him directly in the open mouth. The blast exited through the back of its throat leaving behind a trail of blue smoke.
This proved to be the lethal blow as the hollow finally fell to the ground.
Waifu: "YEAA we did it!" she said jumping up and down.
Ligma and Nia don't let their guards down for a couple of seconds looking at the hollow and all around them. After that they loosen up and take a deep breath.
Ligma: 'Looks like we did." she says smiling with her hand on her knees.
Nia: "We should see what's down there before we do any celebrating." she says collecting herself.
The trio make their way to the floor.
Ligma: "I miss when I was the one getting hit and not you Waifu."
Waifu: "Thats suck a nice thing to say Ligma." she says smiling at Ligma.
Nia: "Something tells me she's not being so selfless." she says looking back and frowning.
Now at the bottom they look at the room and in the back of the room they find a staircase leading down. Other than that, there was a strange orange shard on an anvil.
Waifu: "Ooo shiny! I'm going to hold on to this." she says pocketing the shard.
The trio walks to the staircase and find that it had collapsed and led to nothing but something shinny caught Waifus eye.
Waifu: 'Must be my lucky day another shiny!" she says running to the object.
Ligma: 'What is it?" she shouts at Waifu.
Waifu: "Oh... it's some kind of key."
Nia: "A key? you don't think." she says looking at Ligma.
Waifu: "Oh I know this could open Greirat's cell!" she says running back up with the key.
Ligma: "We should at least go back and let him free."
Nia: "Yea ok but he better make it worthwhile." she said walking back.
So, the trio make their way back to Grierat dodging the hollows on the roof from before.
Upon reaching Greirats cell they find him waiting patiently for their arrival.
Greirat: "Oh you're back."
Waifu: "Yes and I got the key!" she says as she put the key into the lock.
Waifu: "It fits!" she says opening the door.
Greirat: "Thank you very much friend." he says getting up.
Nia: "Whatever all we have to do is get this ring to this Loretta woman, if that's all we have places to be." she says holding out the ring.
Greirat: "Very well. I humbly place my faith in you. I am Greirat of the Undead Settlement, and I promise to assist you. Give that ring to old Loretta at the base of the High Wall. ...Do your part, and I'll do mine." After he says this, he suddenly disappears.
Nia: "Wha-" she stands stunted.
Waifu: "Oh that's so cool he disappeared."
Nia: "If he could do that the whole time why did he ask for our help!"
Ligma: "Maybe he could only do it now that he's free." she says shrugging her shoulders.
Nia: "You know what I don't care anymore." she says walking out the room.
Ligma: "we should catch up to her Waifu." she says following Nia.
Waifu: "Ok!" she says following Ligma.
So, the trio continue their treacherous journey along this High Wall. The wind blows through the walls sending chills to all who fell it and the dark sun looms over every being unfortunate enough to meet its dark gaze.
