"You're probably right," Kath said with a sigh. She quite enjoyed the exhilaration that came with discovering something new and that included trying to translate a newly discovered language, but it was about time they made their departure. Though she couldn't help but feel a bit more nervous about their stalker. She was confident that part of why whoever they were didn't attack was because of the crowds of people. Leaving the town to head back up the mountain on their own could potentially be the opportunity their stalker was waiting for to strike. Still, she sensed they were about as powerful as herself and she wasn't alone. If it came down to combat, she was sure Ashara and could edge out a victory. If not, one could return to the Chateau for reinforcements.
After her traveling companion had received her gift from Corona, Kath would follow Ashara up the mountain, again taking notes on any newly appeared flora and fauna that their new path up the mountain discovered. Fortunately, their stalker did not seem to follow or attack, causing the dragonoid to skip merrily as they arrived at the Chateau. The journey was quite nice now that she thought back to it, however she still missed her library and couldn't wait to add two new books to its collection.
Then, tragedy would strike.
"My books... gone... taken... missing... books taken," Kath would whisper to herself as Rodias' words sunk in. Anyone that looked at her usually composed face would see her eye twitching, giving her usual smile a more sinister appearance. Then it stopped. Like something had snapped and she suddenly returned to her usual demeanor. "Excuse me for a moment. I need some time to myself," she said, performing a curtsy before retreating further into the The Athenaeum of Historia, most likely the mysterious forbidden section that still remained lock to all but herself.
Once it's great vault door would shut, the screaming would begin. Judging by how the whole of Chateau Gothika would begin to rumble as well, it was safe to assume she had also transformed into her dragon form. Anything not nailed down ran the risk of falling off its perch and even the village at the bottom of the mountain would feel quake, albeit much diminished. At best they would notice doors that were open begin to close shut on their own. The screams would also echo through the Chateau's halls, a sound more chilling than any an experienced torturer could coax out of their victim.
Eventually, Kath's meltdown would subside, returning to her human form and to Rodias and Ashara. She would greet the two of them with a curtsy before apologizing. "Sorry about that, I just needed a moment to calm down. You said it was the mimics of Enderal that had taken them, correct?" she asked, planning on paying Chuunitrixx a visit once their debriefing was over. Despite her usual smile having returned to her face, there still lie something sinister in her eyes. An anger that hadn't yet been quelled by her earlier outrage. She would have words with the Doppelganger.
