As her eyes open suddenly Demise takes a moment to stare at the ceiling. A few years ago such a bad dream would of had her waking up screaming and crying in fear but her old mentors teachings had really payed off. With a deathly calm expression she watches the shadows play on the ceiling as she focuses on calming the inner turmoil. Letting out a deep sigh she gets out of bed hoping to take her mind of her own nightmares for a little while.


Unable to handle the loneliness of her apartment on this dark night Demise decides to summon some company. First she cast a spell to help her interact with her soon to be arriving company.

Lighting a few candles Demise sits on the floor near her hallow crossing her legs as she focuses on sending out a general summon to any nearby ghost. She tries to make her summon more of a welcoming gesture then a stern command not wanting to upset any ghost she may grab.

What looks like the ghost of a homeless man appears as Demise greets him with a friendly smile. Despite being a little wary of her at first the ghost soon opens up to Demise's friendly nature. She says very little as he speaks only offering encouragement here and there wanting to hear everything he has to say as he tells her of his woes. As the ghost continues speaking of his problems Demise can't help but grow more and more sympathetic to the ghost.

Connecting with him and feeling for him allows Demise to forget the fears and pain her nightmare had pulled up. The temporary bond she has formed with this ghost seems strong enough to help Demise pull mana out of the hallow

As the ghost finishes his tale of woe he leaves Demise alone once again though now the loneliness isn't as crushing as it was earlier. With a calmer mind Demise blows out the candles and returns to bed hoping she did enough to keep her nightmares at bay for a little while.
