Chapter 4 - Chapter4: Ghosts

A mist rested upon the graves as if to warn anyone daring to enter.

But to Drake this all but made the threat he was about to face obvious.

Twigs snapped under the weight of the hunter's boot as he journeyed through the burial site.

Drake threw himself into the ground as a translucent hand appeared behind him.

"Wait I'm not the one you are searching for" the mother, Greta's mother appeared although her appearance was tainted in some way.

"You understand if I don't immediately trust a Ghost" Drake projected a blade into existence, in which the weapon followed the same rules of a Ghost.

Ingrid spoke no words, as she only made a single movement.

The mother raised her arm pointing towards a corpse, her daughter's corpse.

Drake's senses were soon overwhelmed by the smell of blood and decay as Greta's headless corpse was revealed.

And as he crouched above the corpse Harald appeared, his true appearance revealed.

The Spirit's claws sunk into the ground just as Drake rolled, destroying a grave.

"So this is the Vengeful spirit I have been hired to kill" Drake thought to himself as he continued to evade each and every attack.

"Woman do you know where he is buried?" Drake threw his projected blade into Harald and too the Spirit's surprise he was injured.

"I..., I do I'm standing upon it right now I think" Ingrid faded into the realm of wraiths and spirits just as Drake stomped upon Harald's grave.

"Now this makes things easier" Drake's hands pulsated with a golden aura as Harald's grave began to cave in revealing his bones.

"I hunt you monsters for a living do you think you could evade a permeant death" Drake spoke as both he and Harald made their final moves.

A fire sparked from the hunter's fingers, whilst Harald threw himself into the hunter only for his body to fade away as his bones burned.

"Well, oh shit I should have guessed" Drake threw himself into Harald's grave as Ingrid attempted to strike him down.

"That girl over there means something to you, her cause of death matches one who died at the hands of a Vengeful spirit" Drake attempted to reveal her corpse but unsurprisingly he needs more information to go on.

Ingrid ruthlessly threw attack after attack her appearance slowly changing...

Her body becoming mangled and rotten whilst her personality more violent.

"She has some relation to the child that's it where she's buried" Drake once again used his spell but this time it worked as the mother's bones were revealed.

And as they burned the Vengeful spirit of Ingrid, a mother faded away forever.

"You didn't deserve this" Drake spoke softly as he burned the child's corpse.
