"Strange..."
Lyn looked at the staircase for a few seconds before beginning to jog up them.
"I guess I should find a way out."

[i]"That's one of the first questions I asked myself when I ended up here."[/i] a voice suddenly said. It seemed to come from the room and it was the sound of a man's. [i]"Then I realized...there was no leaving a place you are cursed to."[/i] As Lyn turned to the source of the noise, she saw a ghostly figure standing between the coffins. He was tall, and had features that were awfully familiar to her. It wasn't Henry that much was certain. And this man did not sound like a friend of hers either. As she identified him, she realized this figure looked identical to that of... Felix Coldbourne.

"If you'd just sit down here and suffer forever that would be appreciated though. I hate you guys. Mostly your brother to be honest, but as a whole you guys suck."
-
"Well, guilty as charged considering I was enough of a fu[i]c[/i]k up to be manipulated by a cult of vampires." Felix told the girl. "The insult to injury is that they possessed my body for this whole sadistic scheme of theirs."
-
Lyn sighed and mumbled to herself. "I didn't check for that sort of thing....Hey!" Lyn stopped and turned around. "What can you tell me about this vampire thing and how can I trust you?"
-
"Well you can't really." Felix told her blatantly. "In fact if you were smart you wouldn't listen to me at all. But unfortunately for you it's your only option. So I will educate you." The spectre began to pace as he started his story. "See, when Alex killed father eight thousand years ago, he took the throne as well. The throne that was rightfully mine. He forced us, at least some of us, to follow him without question. He took the throne away from me. So, being the cocky young adult that I was, I tried to find a way to match the power of the fierce deity he had found. Are you following?"
-
"I'm not an idiot. Yes, I get it now keep going. My blades can harm spirits, so I advise against making me impatient."
-
"Hmph. Good to know." Felix commented before he continued. "So, I left the Ko rudo region and found myself in a coven of vampires. These vampires taught me valuable magic, such as how to heal by taking the power from another's soul, unlocking the potential of a soul as well as using the same power to revive those who had already died. What I didn't realize is that these vampires had another agenda. Their leader killed me, eight thousand years ago, and took the form of my body for all this time. I suppose he thought he could use my appearance to trick the family so he could usurp Tywin."
-
"Interesting. Keep going." Lyn sat down on a step, resting for a moment.
-
"There is not much more to say, besides the fact that the Felix you may have seen was not me. I have been dead a very long time. It was the vampire who resurrected my family so he could take down alex and conquer Tatakai. But...he had no idea what extent my father had gone to in increasing his own magic ability. No one will stand a chance against him..."
-
"Nah, they'll kill him. If I was there and knew he was possessed I could've probably pulled it out of him though....If you know a quick way out maybe I won't be too late to stop your father."
-
"My father is only possessed by his ambitions, not creatures of the night. But yes, I can help you get out of here. But no passage from the catacombs will lead directly to the castle."
-
"Damn. If he was actually possessed this would be easier....While you show me the closest exit to the castle do you mind telling me any advice you have on killing him? I'd just smite him, but...I'm not exactly at my best at the moment." Lyn stood up and sighed, brushing herself off.
-
"The only way alex was able to beat him was through using the power of the fierce deity. Without that power, I do not believe anyone can defeat him."
-
"Well, I may not be a god, but I get my power from one. Close enough? I'm trying to be optimistic. Hey, wait. Is there a way for me to get that power?"
-
"Zane and Alex have already ended Majora as well as any trace of his power. So no, there is no longer any feasible way to possess it."
-
"Hmpf! Well, then I guess my current power will have to do unless you have any better ideas. I'd really love it if there was another option than running in and using all I've got."
-
"There is nothing here you can use to power yourself. But, follow me and I can show you something that could weaken his forces."
-
"That works too. Lead the way." Lyn waited to follow the man.
-
Felix hovered across the floor and up the steps towards the north door. His astral body seemed to light up the hallways, allowing Lyn to see the skull built walls with ease. He continued on, taking a left and then a right. "I have to ask. Why are you fighting against my father to begin with? Is it a vendetta?"
-
"Because he's trying to take over and he's an obvious bad guy that killed Alex and his son killed my friend Henry. It's the right thing to do." She followed closely behind.
-
"And so you don't believe in order then? A few lives for the sake of an eternal peace? Seems naive of you."
-
"No idea what you're jabbering on about, but okay. I just don't like someone that takes over by force like your father."
-
"He does it because he knows he's the only one capable of ruling the world properly. With him as Tatakai's king, he would be able to ensure peace across the globe. Though I suppose you believe more in the power of the people is that it?"
-
"Power of the people? Meh, I guess. As long as the person in charge is a good person with morals I don't care. Your father took over by force. That's not good."
-
Felix remained silent after her remark as he continued to move down the hallways. Eventually the hallway seemed to open up, and he moved up to a massive door. The door was ancient and stone made. It had a dragon carved into its right side while a skeletal warrior had its blade raised up to fight it. "Through here." Felix told Lyn as he went through the door, phasing through, not having to open it.
