Whoosh.... Shaaa.... Whoosh.... [Bay of Marcelan] Winds were blowing, waves were crashing. The Moon shone brightly, giving off an Ethereal vibe. A man stood by the shore, gazing across the vast Horizon. He was resting on the bonnet of a Mustang. He was young, had a pale fair skin, chiseled face, optimally built physique. He was dressed in a three piece suit, a grey vest, a black bow tie with an emerald jutting out of it and a peach white suit. Another man arrived gliding on an Ethereal construct. It was Jake Spencer. "So you came early, Gazeera?", said Jake. "Seems so, just had to confirm a few things here and there. Its not everyday that we have to take out a [Rain Level 6] summon." answered Gazeera. Still staring out into the open horizon. His eyes were jet black, with a bright white iris. "Well then, it seems the clean up crew are yet to arrive." "No they are already here, I have just stationed them to a more secure location." "O-Okay, then", replied Jake. "I guess I'll just fill you in on the report. Target is Ezekail Theo Lingsay, age 58, Para user unregistered, Criminal record, Assault and Smuggling. He is not priority though. We have to just confirm whether he is alive or not, and apprehend him if he is. Priority is to capture, seal or destroy the-" "[Rain Level 6] disaster." Gazeera murmured. "Yes", Jake confirmed. "Ezekail, that old buffoon. A summon, that too [Rain Level 6]. What were you so obsessed about old man. As if helping you disappear from the system was not enough, you just had to go and do this. That favor was also because you helped B.A.R. make body doubles. Damn....", thought Gazeera. "By the way, Jake did you bring your body double?" "Yeah, why?", Jake said while, pointing at a coffin which was being buried by a summon[GraveKeeper]. "I am just getting an ominous feeling. It is just that despite having [Level 6] influence, this spirit has not yet displaced itself from it's point of origin nor has it expanded it's domain." Jake formed a ball of light and dispersed it across the shoreline. No reaction. "Now that you have pointed it out Gazeera, it indeed is a bit weird that-" "Well off we go now.", chimed Gazeera. Grabbing a golden backpack and a silver fanny pack. "Where do we have to go?", asked Jake. "Dock no. 3." "Are you sure?" "Well yes, for two reasons, one being that the Scouts set up their beacon at that dock before proceeding to the lighthouse which is our mission venue, second being that a person has filed for a missing boat case, for the boat which was docked here yesterday.", replied Gazeera, while pointing at the [Dock No. 3] sign. Gazeera started scampering around the Dock as if he was searching for something. He rummaged through files and folders, crates and containers. Until, he finally returned with a silver block in his hand. "With this we might be able to trace their movements, and get to our target. Provided it's still there and wasn't a temporary summon or that the scouts didn't die before reaching the summon." "Don't worry.", assured Jake. "The scouts reached our target alright." "Well off we go then.", said Gazeera. Forming an Ethereal Construct, hovering and then shooting across the bay. "Let's do this and return alive.", sighed Jake, while forming an Ethereal Construct and shooting after Gazeera. **************** *************** ************** [Hell Bound Isle: Marcelan Bay] Whooo.... Tap. Jake and Gazeera landed on the island. There was an abandoned light house in front of them. The walls around the Light house were infested with grime, rot and Fungi. "Well someone's made themselves home.", chuckled Gazeera as he walked towards the rusted metal gates. "Rot and grime, seems to be the effect of plague. Granite floors left untouched. Rusted doors. Traps encountered so far, none.", noted Jake. "What are you doing?", asked Gazeera. "Writing a report." "Can't you note it down a bit quietly, like keep it to yourself." "All I am saying is that this spirit is way too comfortable, it has al
