The hall Gold and Allein were in on the next floor seemed empty. The silence of the floor was broken only by the pattering of rain on the windows and the ticking of a grandfather clock's pendulum.

"Ah, your choice is to fight me instead of run still?" The raven woman had caught Excalik's hand he intended to strike with, wagging a free finger as her gripping hand glowed an eerie purple. She bent his hand back and downwards before forcefully throwing him against one of the bookshelves facing the walls of the library, causing books to topple out of their shelves and threatening to take the bookshelf down on the man.
"Excalik!" Vala reached towards him but tensed again and curled her body down towards the floor. "Ugh!" Bold lines of dark red began to line her arms and only stopped spreading after reaching the top of her cheekbones. Vala hyperventilated as she tried to breathe and cope with the immense sudden strain on her body.
"Hyuu!" The little Wisp shook in alarm from the sudden turn of events, floating over to Vala to try and comfort her.
"Y-you need to get out of here... Find the others, now!!!" Vala strained to speak to it, nudging it with her staff to get it to move outwards. "Anyone here..."
"Pathetic. Is that all? You will have to try much harder if you are to stop us from destroying this human town."
Now the boss battle begins...!!

The wisp was unsure who she meant, but immediately it floated out of the room, going unnoticed by the woman since she was focused on Excalik. Its quiet wail of a siren started echoing throughout the halls of the floor, in search of someone who could aid Excalik now that Vala was down.
