Weee! I like this mural! It's kind of creepy. I'm on the race to finsh this before my review classed start! So read away, hope you'll like this one. Hope this one can answer some of your questions.
The girls fell into Lemuel's trap, will the boys be able to free them? Two lonely knight statues stood proud in the manor's halls.Lemuel eyed them then gave a thought. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"he said as he pointed at one of the knights and chanted a spell. Green Light from Lemuel's hands shot through his hands and hit the knight. The knight was suddenly brought to life.
"NOw my little pet,go get those boys, I have something else to take care with."grinned Lemuel as the knight walked to do its duty.
 The boys were oblivious to what was going on around them. They were back at the living room, Henry was making a call to Alice while Riven was warming himself by the fire. Riven still felt cold after his recent encounter witht the vengeful ghost. Henry on the other hand was assuring Alice they'd be home soon. Riven was poking around the fireplace when the knight (silent as a ninja despite its heavy armor) sneaked in. He had Riven at his sights. The two boys were still oblivious to the presence of the knight and each minding their business as they wait for the girls. The light shimmered from a corner and the red head ghost appeared all of a sudden/
"Riven! Wach out!"she cautioned. Riven ducked in time as the knight threw in a punch. The knight all of a sudden stood still, as if frozen in time. Riven turned to the floating ghost behind him.
"Hurry, I froze him on time. Pick up the sword before he does as well."cautoined the ghost. Riven quickly got up and grabbed a sword that was hanging from the wall.
Seconds later the knight was released was the spelll and grabbed one of the swords as well.
"Uh..henry.."called Riven. Emma shook her head as she slowly opened her eyes. The last thing she remembered was they were at the kitchen making some hot chocolates before they'd return camp. She then glanced around and found herself bound in a chair."Of course..Lemuel.."she whispered to herself. She loked around once again and found a familiar red demon0like mask hung in one of the walls
(see chapter5)
"That mask! YOu're not Lemuel! You're Gorvind from one of my visions!" "I see you're awake! "said Lemuel.
"Gorvind! What do you want?"demanded Emma.
"So what Lucretia says is true, you are the woman with great sight. You even know my alias, too bad you werent able to see what I have in store for you."said Lemuel as he scanned his spellbook.
"Is this the manor's basement? How'd you make a lab here.."asked Emma.
"My dear, Vittorio onwed this manor, I had this lab here even before he gave it to his adopted grandson."said Lemuel.
 "Didn't you have long hair in my dreams?"asked Emma.
"Shut up! So I had it cut? See, I was able to fool you my dear."said LEmuel. "Do you remember from your vision a while ago? The one about Odessa?"
"It was a retrocognition.."whispered Emma. Then she remembered her vision again. She realized she was in the same situationas Odessa was.
"What will you do to me?"piped Emma.
 Lemuel pointed near the corner.
"Behold my creation.I was one of Vittorio's apprentice, however I didn't want to be a ghoul like Lucretia. So to live forever like they do, I decided to create my own way. I created a cowplant that will give me an elixir to live as long as I want."he declared. "HOw'd you obtain that? Cowplants were banned years ago because they needed sacrifice to be milked.."stammered Emma.
Lemuel paced towards his desk.
"I created and modified it. It is connected to me. And it only needs a sacrifice every ten years.."grinned Lemuel.
"Ten years."whispered Emma when she realized Odessa passed away ten years ago.
"YOu'll never succeed! The mages wont let you!"gritted Emma.
 "Why?CAn they help you?"teased Lemuel.
"I have them all locked up right there." he said as he pointed a door. Lizzie opened her eyes and heard Lemuel and Emma's voices. She moaned then tried to recall what just happened to them a while ago.. "Jane! Wake up"she whispwered as she realized they were both locked up inside a small room and Lemuel and Emma were just outside them. Jane and Lizzie got up.
"Its locked. Emma needs us outside, I can barely hear their voices..I bet Lemuel's up to no good.."murmured Jane.
"Who knew...he's one of Lucretia's men."whispered Lizzie. Lizzie pulled out her wand.
"Stand back, I'll blow this door out."she said as she flicked her wand but nothing happened.
"Okay..what was that?"asked Jane as Lizzie shrugged. "It's no use, mage!"called Lemuel from the outside. With that talisman hang on the wall only I can use my magic here. The rest of your powers are neutralized here in the basement." he laughed.
'But that's just a greek symbol.."protested Emma.
"I modified it so it became a talisman okay?!"said the irritated LEmuel. "The boys will take you down!"growled Emma.
"Useless, I've taken care of them already. Now sit tight my dear, as soos as the cake comes out of the cowplant, your youth will be mine."he declared then gave a menacing laugh. Upstairs in the living room Riven was sparring with the knight.
"Anytime now HEnry, you're a mage too, right? Do something!"called Riven. Henry noted at the knight carefully.
"He lloks familiar.."he mumbled.
"Henry! Jane and the others could be in trouble!"called the exasperated Riven.
"Of course, he's one of the knights in the halls, and was brought to life!"said Henry as thought of a spell that his father once taught him. "Hurry up!I"called Riven. "I got it."said Henry as he chanted the spell. A blue ball of light formed in front of Henry.
"Riven, duck!"said Henry as the blue ball of light rushed and hit the knight. The blue light then hit and electrocuted the knight.
Riven looked in amazement as the green light that gave the knight its life was sucked away by the blue light. With a clank, the armored knight fell down to the floor.
"I'm not putting him back at the halls."said Riven. Henry sighed in relief when the Odesssa suddenly appeared.
"Thanks to the song that you played I remembered what happened to me.Now listen carefully, I can take you to where your sisters are. Just trust me."she told Henry.
"should we..?"asked Henry.
"She saved me..I guess we should."said Riven.
 "You tricked Odessa just as you did us now, did you?"inquired Emma.
Lemuel turned to the cowplant, still no cake.
"Why yes.."said Lemuel."I saw her crying outside the manor,then casted a sleeping spell on her. I knew she was magical, so she was just what I needed. Now you're next."
 Lemuel then looked at his hands, they started to grow wrinkly.
"The elixir,it's effects are running out faster than I thought it would.."he grumbled. Then in moments, his hair turned white. He became an elder.
"Where's that cake you silly cowplant!I need it now!I need yo collect her youth!"screeched the impatient Lemuel. Then pink lights luminated the room.
"What the--"said Lemuel as Emma beamed.
"BOys!"she exclaimed. "Looks like you didn't take good care of tehm/"teased Emma.
"Shut up!"growled Lemuel. "We cant use magic here, just as Odessa said. Now, quickly take him down before he finishes his chants."said Henry.
"Got it.Just free the girls."said Riven as the the two boys rushed to get into action. Lemuel on the other hand went to his spellbook and looked for a spell to use. He started chanting when Riven ran towards him then kicked him down. 'Hey, you okay?"inquired Henry.
"Barely.."said Emma as she tried herself not to turn pink."The others are in there. Destroy the greek symbol so you ca use magic here."she noted as Henry freed her from the chair.
 'Gotcha old man."teased Riven as he poised himslef to make sure Lemuel wont be able to return to his spellbook. ''Too late boy, I finished my chant long before you came here." laughed Lemuel as he got up.. Cold strange fog surrounded Rive's body as stars started to dance around his head. Riven shook his head and felt dizzy.
"Sleep tight, boy."grinned Lemuel.
Riven fell into the ground and was in deep sleep. Lemeul actually casted a sleeping spell on him. The cowplant opened its jaws then showed its tongue. On top of it was an enticing cake slice.
'It's beautiful!"said Emma as she felt mesmerized by the cake. Henry stood in front of Emma.
"Dont look,a it's trying to tempt you.."he said overportectively as Emma buried her face in her palms so she wont see the cake.
"Stupid boy."said Lemuel as he chanted a spell.
Henry listened to the chant carefully, he realized he knew what the chant was, a chant he dreaded he would hear once again.
 "Hit the deck!"said Henry as he jumped out of the way and pulled Emma with him. The two scrambled down the ground, Emma fell first and Henry was on top of her. Seconds after he jumped away, lightning struck to where he was standing,it hit the cowplant instead.
The cowplant was connected with LEmuel, whatever happened to it, will happen to Lemuel as well. So as the lightning struck and burned the cowplant, Lemuel also felt like he was struck by the lightning as well.
"No..!It's midnight..without the elixir.."he managed to say. The next thing Henry knew, he saw nothing but a pile of sand where Lemuel once stood. "YOu okay?"asked Henry as the two got up.
"Uh..yeah.."flushed Emma.
"Destroy that talisman for me okay?I'll go wake Riven."said Henry as he pointed at the greek symbol. Emma smashed the greek symbol to the ground as Henry started to heal Riven to wake him from the spell. Riven woke up as JAne and Lizzie exited from the room where they were kept.
 "YOu boys! Were amazing! We heard everything!"said Jane as she leapt into Riven's arms as Lizzie ran to embrace her elder brother. "We didn't do it alone. Odessa helped us. She saved me then She told us what happened to her. She said she didn't want anyone else to fall as Lemuel's victim after what happened to her."explained Riven.
"Lucky that ghost has a crush on you!"teased Jane to her blushing boyfriend.
'Come on Lizzie, Alice must be worried.Take us out of here."sid Henry as he grabbed the medallion from Lemuel's desk and fished it into his pocket.
"With pleasure!"said Lizzie. As they teleported away, Odessa watched at them from a little distance. Odessa gazed at Riven and Jane one last time then sighed dreamily.
"Finally I am free."she said as she faded away.
