Saga of Xzheal

- Villa -
"I doubt that it will."
Daeothus paused for a moment.
"Odd, that it has been over a month since he slept properly."

- Villa -
Nagisa shrugged.
"I can make a sleeping potion if he needs one" She said.

- Villa -
"I think he will be okay tonight." The undead said.

- Villa -
"Oh, I was just suggesting" Nagisa said.
"Do you need anything, or I may go to sleep myself."
Nagisa curiously looked at her left hand for a moment.

- Villa -
The undead craned to look at her.
"Nothing at all." It said.

Xeyl looked a bit like a bat, a very cold bat at that.
He was almost sure there was a tendril in him ready to tear his insides out through his mouth if he coughed again.
The Necromancer ran his hand through his hair again, this time without the shell he had most of the time. He groaned like a tree.

- Villa -
"Oh, I see. Just one thing actually"
Nagisa rushed out of the room and returned pretty quickly.
"This is a basic sleeping draft, if he needs it, goodnight" She put the potion on the table, then left the room.
Nagisa walked upstairs and entered the door on the left then closed it, and sat down on the chair infront of her desk.

- Villa -
Xeyl's obsession with his hair came from a woman he'd known. She'd had hair the shade of the sky when the world was in darkness, she wasn't - hadn't been - a bad person.
He'd offended her.
So he stopped thinking about that.
Now he couldn't breath, like someone had sucked all the air out and plugged the entrance...

- Villa -
Nagisa wrote something on a small piece of paper, then rose.
She silently crept into the her bed and fell asleep.

- Villa -
Xeyl did eventually manage to get to sleep. Daeothus watched over him this time.
He knew his dreams were toubled, but at least he was sleeping at all...

- Villa -

Nagisa suddenly jolted awake afew minutes later.
She didn't say anything for afew moments and sighed, rose and left her room and walked downstairs. She opened a door and entered her kitchen.
"Now... where did I put the water...?"

- Villa -
Xeyl opened his eyes very slightly and curled into a tighter ball.

- Villa -
Nagisa opened a small cabinet and took out a glass of water and drank it.
"Thats better..." She murmered to herself, walked back upstairs and back into her room.

- Villa -
Xeyl sank back into his sleep.

- Villa -
Nagisa glanced around her room for a moment, then drank the water.
Nagisa then climbed back into her mostly purple with black wood bed and fell to sleep.

- Villa -
Daeothus also rested, though he could not sleep.

- Villa -
Only a few minutes later, Nagisa discovered she had woken up again.
She rose.
"Well... I guess..." She walked downstairs and entered a locked room which she opened with a key. In the middle of the room was a table, map and four chairs, she sat down in one and took out some small statues.
She placed these statues on the table and began to move each side's small statues.

- Villa -
Xeyl woke once more coughing, after that he would wake up no more.
He was warm now.

- Villa, planning room -
Nagisa carefully removed the statues and then put a map over the table.
"Lets see" Her eyes scanned the map.
"If the chapel is here in Voudal, the crypt must be here..."

- Villa -
Daeothus rose and searched for Nagisa.
While looking around, he fiddled with a little crimson ball, giving off a small halo of light.

- Villa -
Nagisa removed the map from the table and put it away. She took the statues back out.
"Now then, lets see how this game goes..."
She began to play chess with herself. She kept countering herself intill only the kings were left.
"Oh, eh..."

- Villa -
Daeothus got distracted staring at the light-producing sphere. He made a sighing noise.

- Villa -
Nagisa sighed and reset the field.
"Well, I couldn't beat myself, again..." She said.
"If only I could still summon Icaria"

- Villa -
Daeothus heard Nagisa talking to herself.
Xeyl did that sometimes, mostly when he was stressed.

- Villa -
Nagisa sighed.
"Well, this isn't going well. I mean, how is this supposed to be fun if you can counter your own moves every time? Its... Well..."
Nagisa looked around for a moment.

- Villa -
Daeothus listened to her, then heard her stop.
The undead waited.

- Villa -
Nagisa breathed deeply.
"And considering that, Icalius has been taking his time, a week, strange, I guess." Nagisa stated to herself.
"I can't maintain more then one Frost Minion at a time though, so I guess I'll have to wait."
