While Marnie and Cavenfish began their expenditure upon locating and retrieving the biggest documented Sea Beast the Whale.
Ra'Zhul had returned to Salt Shore trying to locate his charge given by his Lord and Master. The time was midday however to avoid anyone from seeing him Ra'Zhul stayed airborne withdrawing any bloodlust from his body.
In hopes no truly experienced warriors could see him or possibly harm him. The last bit wasn't his own precaution but an order given to him by his master who warned that the information on this world was low so anything was possible. So a guard was needed to be established.
Ra'Zhul was that guard as his experience in both battle and stealth brought him to the secondary position of his masters army and in doing so gave Ra'Zhul a sense of accomplishment.
Without another delay Ra'Zhul watched the familiar peculiarities of these homes as they were lodged of wood. If they were homes or stores of some kind remained hidden from Ra'Zhul as he didn't understand this concept.
As the buildings were being passed Ra'Zhul notice a familiar set of silhouettes being the two knights from before who discovered the cursed corpse. Decided to use these two as a means of locating the girl thanks to a discussion with his lord pertaining to this girl 'being a noble and based on this means knights must guard her.'
The fact was simple to understand so following it was ever so easier to follow. Ra'Zhul after lowering his distance from the ground maintained flight unnoticed to his targets.
Both knights continued their search for any more 'Cursed' as they walked through the city both holding swords on their hips which were unnoticeable to Ra'Zhul due to nightfall and his focus remaining on the 'Cursed' man during their last encounter.
Ra'Zhul seeing them armed maintained distance not changing anything at all except his need of awareness in case these knights sense him and intend to attack.
However these thoughts didn't come to pass as these knights seemed clueless as they chatted among themselves as they made their rounds until dark.
Once night was an hour away both Knights began to diverge from each other as they bid each other goodbye Ra'Zhul over heard one of them say they'd talk to the lord regarding the cursed and left the other in the direction of the lords manner.
Seeing this moment not pass Ra'Zhul followed the clueless knight watching him lead to a common home just a hint bigger than the others the only exception of this home was the fact that it was a bit taller. But the yard was expanse and was hidden within the trees and hills outside the village towards the outskirts of it and the nearing domain.
Within the forest Ta'Zhul used the numerous cover to shield himself from the knights sight as he walked to the lords manor where a man in servant attire likely the butler stood with a hand over his chest bowing slightly to the knight who greeted him.
"Hello sir Floyd it is a pleasure to see you again." Theo knight known as Floyd shyly placed a hand behind his head and responded "Good to see you too Fredrick."
After greeting Fredrick led Floyd into the manor where more servants awaited them. Ra'Zhul utilizing the distractions hid himself within the knight Floyd's shadow allowing his entrance into the manor.
The two lines of maids greeted Floyd and who was accustomed to it simply walked through the front door and towards the stairs to the second floor.
As Floyd walked Ra'Zhul memorized every piece of land within this manor for anything indicating the location of the girl. But spotted noting only spotting the dinning room and common quarters or greet room.
On the stairs towards the second floor Floyd momentarily stopped thinking someone was watching him turning around seeing no one Floyd turned back thinking it to be a breeze of the wind.
Once onto the second floor footsteps were heard taking Fredrick and Floyd's attention. However once the source was located Fredrick spoke "it seems the young miss is having fun." Floyd looking to the right room at the end of the hall smiled and exclaimed "yeah sounds like it."
Seeing his targets location Ra'Zhul awaited his opportune moment and by staying as a shadow traversed the hall. Staying as a shadow was dangerous as there would appear to be a moving shadow on the ground however no one besides the butler and knight were in the hallway and they weren't looking his way giving Ra'Zhul the perfect moment to sneak.
Ra'Zhul easily slid under the door of Tabitha's room seeing the girl at her desks making drawings with pencils of squiggly characters like a child to draw.
Ra'Zhul seeing Tabitha hid within her shadow as to monitor her but to his surprise once the shadow was touched a golden burst of energy shot Ra'Zhul back causing his stealth approach to back fire and earn a look of surprise from this golden eyed girl.
Once the gazes of Spector and Noble were locked Ra'Zhul resulted to the last resort option of arming himself by composing his shadows into a blade. As the shadows began focusing Tabitha saw this and began to panic or at least attempted to but stopped herself and spoke.
"You're the one who I saw under my Fathers ship?" Tabitha by using her skills and teachings as a noble steeled herself showing no emotion as she stared at her intruder.
Ra'Zhul stopped his motion of summoning his sword looked to the girl and lowered his arms and took a gamble speaking "Yes."
Tabitha breaking her stillness was surprised by this monsters ability of speech and stopped speaking herself for a few moments.
Tabitha now calmed looked to Ra'Zhul with a changed expression one of cunning now than of fear from beforehand when she was nervous.
"I assume you want to know why I could see you?" Tabitha now spoke with a hint of dignity adding to her another mystery to this enigma of this world.
Ra'Zhul stopping talking altogether prompting Tabitha to break character pointing her index at her chin trying to act cute saying "Sorry I can't tell you."
Ra'Zhul seeing now no need for the girl began to summon his sword again causing a nervous yelp to squeeze out Tabitha's mouth.
Tabitha then began to shake her hands in the air in a panic and tried storing away the ghosts ire. Until she was out of options. "Okay I'll tell you but not for free!" Tabitha began to be sincere but her greed took over thinking her young life was over she stop flailing her hands and closed her eyes.
Death however was eluded today as the feeling of a blade against her skin never came. From this acknowledgment Tabitha opened her eyes seeing Ra'Zhul without his sword.
Where once both parties were staring at each other again Ra'Zhul spoke "name your terms."
