The trio finds themselves talking to a man locked in a cell on the High Wall of Lothric.
The wind blows through the walls of the cell.
The room is illuminated by a single torch and a lone man sits in the cell.
Greirat: "I can tell you're no jailer. you're from far away. And judging by the bell you must be some of that unkindled ash." he says sitting patently in his cell.
Waifu: "Thats us!" she said smiling while holding the bars.
Ligma: "Actually It's just her me and this one are just normal undead." she said pointing to Nia.
Greirat: "Ah I see it's not every day you see an undead that's not completely hollow. Remarkable, well if what you say is true, I have a favor to ask, well more like two favors." He says looking up at the trio.
Nia: "Two favors huh? I hope you don't expect us to do this for free." she said crossing her arms.
Greirat: "I'm not asking for charity in fa- in fact I'll be sure to repay you in kind." he says clasping his hands together.
Nia: "Hmmm ok I'm listening." she said leaning against the wall.
Greirat: " Below the High Wall is a musty little town. Not the home of any lord, just a very old settlement of Undead. An old woman, Loretta, lives there. Please give her this ring." He says handing them a blue ring with a gem in the shape of a tear drop.
Greirat: "And- and also could you find the key to let me out this cell."
Nia: "I don't see how that would benefit us, you didn't even tell us how you would repay us."
Waifu: "Well I think we should help him! I trust him." she said smiling at Nia.
Ligma: "I will keep an eye out for the key to set you free from this cell, I just hope you keep your end of the deal if we free you and deliver this ring." she said walking up the cell.
Nia: "Let's get out of here it reeks." she said storming out.
Greirat "goodbye and stay safe." he said sending them off.
So, the trio head back to the bonfire for a short rest to collect themselves and head back to the room with all the explosive barrels in the middle.
Ligma: "So only one place left to go." she said looking at the doorway leading outside the tower.
Nia: "Let's go then." she said walking through the doorway.
As the trio walk through the doorway, they find themselves on a small path that connects from the wall.
The cries of hollows echoed from every direction as the wind blew a harsh breeze.
On the path to the left was another dead wyvern with two hollows praying at its corps.
Looking forward the path cuts off and there is a latter that goes down onto a roof.
Waifu: "Looks like we might have found the path that leads out this wall."
Ligma: "I hope you're right Waifu." she said patting her head.
Nia: "Let's go, I grow tired of this wall." she said moving towards the praying hollows.
As Nia moves towards the unsuspecting hollows she spots something coming up the latter Infront of her.
It was a hollow clad in more armor than most but not nearly as much for a knight, it was also wielding a small shield and short sword.
As the hollow climbed to her level she heard Ligma say something behind her.
Ligma: "Another one to the right Nia!" she said running to Nia's right.
Another hollow using a short sword and minimal armor climbed over the stone railing.
Waifu: "Are you serious there smart enough to set up an ambush and that hollow was hanging above hundreds of feet." she said taking in the situation.
Nia: "Waifu save your magic we won't need it for something like this." she said readying her axe.
Ligma makes it to her right side and doesn't waste a second, she instantly grabs her mace a hit the sword hollow with an upwards strike to the chin as it was preparing an overhead slash.
The front of the neck tears opens as a result of the strike; despite this injury it clings to life as well as its sword.
Nia carefully watches the small shield hollow as it hides behind its shield waiting for its opportunity to attack, this hollow was smarter than the rest.
Nia: "Damn hollow if you won't attack I will!" she said clenching her axe.
Nia brings her axe to her right side making a horizontal slash.
The hollow meats her attack with his shield. The hollow takes a step back from the impact, but it stops Nia's attack without much difficulty.
Nia: "Dammit!"
The sword hollow Ligma was fighting takes its sword with both hands preparing to attack Ligma's right shoulder.
Ligma notices this attack, she's a little caught off guard from this hollow who continues to attack despite its head hanging on by the back of its neck.
So, in response Ligma takes her talisman and makes an X with her arms.
Ligma: "FORCE!" she says as a white light burst from her sending the hollow back.
The hollow hits the stone railing behind him and falls to the ground.
Ligma turns her attention to Nia.
Ligma: "Having some trouble?" she says smirking.
Nia: "The basterd keeps blocking I can't get past its guard!"
Upon hearing this Ligma raises her mace above her head and brings it down on the hollows shield.
The hollow tries to withstand the attack, but the blunt force of the mace was too much for it to handle.
The hollows guard is instantly broken as his arm holding the shield drops from the impact.
When Nia sees this, she wastes no time and swings her axe like she did the first time and cleaves the hollow in half from the waist.
Waifu sees the hollow that Ligma knocked back and just in case she goes over and drives her dagger into its skull.
Waifu: "Can never be too safe." she said smiling with her hands on her hips.
Nia: "Dammit, I couldn't even overpower a simple hollow." she said looking at her axe.
Ligma: "Nonsense, it's not like the hollow had you beat; it was blocking the whole time, and my weapon happened to excel at punishing blockers." she said placing her hand on Nia's shoulder.
Nia: "Yea You're right I'm Nia the queen of fire!" she said smirking.
Waifu: "Can we go now I'm tired of sitting around." she said crossing her arms.
Nia: "Yea she's right we should keep moving." she said heading to the latter.
Waifu: "What about the praying hollows?"
Nia: "I don't care anymore kill them if you want but I'm going."
Ligma: "Let's go Waifu before she gets herself killed." she said following Nia.
So, the trio head down the latter and find themselves on the roof of some kind of house that connects to the wall.
Nia: "Seems we are finally making progress to get off this wall."
In front of the trio further up on the roof a group of hollows prayed to nothing.
Ligma: "Interesting, I say we ignore them nothing good could come from this."
Nia: "Agreed let's go."
Waifu: "That works for me!" she said following them.
The trio sneak past the group of hollows by staying to the right edge of the roof.
Upon reaching the end of the room they are meet with a latter that leads a little further down.
Upon going down this latter they reach a split in the path. Behind them leads into the house they were just on top of and in front leads to some wood scaffolding that goes around another house.
Waifu: "It's getting kind of hot out here we should go inside." she says wiping the sweat off her brow.
Ligma: "I'm fine with that, what about you Nia." she says looking at Nia.
Nia: "Yea sure."
The trio head inside and are meat with a room filled with wooden tables and chairs. It must have been some kind of mess hall.
Waifu: "So many places to eat but no food." she says dropping her head.
Nia: "Shhh I think I hear something." she said reaching for her axe on her back.
Across the room there was a doorway and through that doorway footsteps could be heard.
The trio upon hearing this ready their weapons.
Through the doorway walks a knight much like the one they fought before but this one wielded a great shield and spear.
Nia: "Crap another one." she says readying her pyromancy hand.
The Knight notices them and pauses for a second before rushing them.
Nia: "FIRE BALL!" Instantly Nia hurls a fire ball at the knight.
The attack reaches the knight, but it only slightly raises its shield to block the attack as he continues his advances.
Waifu: "Come forth HEAVY SOUL ARROW!"
Waifu had been preparing her Heavy soul arrow attack while Nia was also attacking.
With his shield still up, it blocks the attack, but the force of the attack causes him to stop running mere feet away from the trio, just barely out the reach of his spear.
As the cloud of blue smoke from Waifus attack dispersed the knight raised his shield and started to slowly walk towards the trio.
Nia: "You think your mace can take on that shield." she said keeping her eyes on the hollowed knight.
Ligma: "No, but I think I got just the thing." she says as she takes her talesmen.
Waifu: "You better not do anything reckless." she says holding on to Ligma's clothing.
Ligma looks back and nods at Waifu.
The knight is now standing Infront of the trio ready to attack at any given moment.
Nia: "So I trust you can bring its shield down?" she says glancing at Ligma.
Ligma: "Yea, Waifu prepare another attack like last time." she said keeping her eyes on the knight.
Waifu: "Ok... Come forth HEAVY SOUL ARROW!"
Just as the knight was about to thrust his spear he was hit with another one-off Waifu's attacks, making him take a step back.
Ligma: "FORCE!"
Before he could even fully recover from the attack he was hit by a force many times stronger than the last one.
Although Ligma's spell "Force" could output more force than any other spell at its level it however did no damage, but for a foe who only blocks with their shield it is the perfect counter.
The knight's guard was instantly broken, the hand that held it shield was pushed off to the left.
The knights body recoiled back, he was left wide open.
Without wasting a second Nia and Ligma strike the knight.
Ligma brings her mace down on his left shoulder shattering the shoulder plate and crushing its shoulder. Nia swings at its stomach spilling some of its blood as her axe crashes through its armor.
With that final attack the knight falls the ground on its stomach.
Waifu: "We did it we did it!" she shouts while jumping.
Nia: "Thats some spell you got there; nothing compares to my fire, but I Acknowledge you." she smirks at Ligma.
Ligma: "Thanks I guess." she says scratching the back of her head.
Waifu jumped up and put her arms around both of their necks.
Waifu: "Hey we did it and no one got hurt-"
While hanging from Nia and Ligma her sentence it cut off.
Waifu then coughs and blood came up.
Ligma and Nia didn't notice because their attention was on Waifu hanging from their necks.
The knight had gotten its spear while it was on the ground and ran it through Waifus stomach.
Waifu looked over to Ligma and smiled before she coughed up even more blood than last time as the knight removed its spear.
Ligma's face and cloths were covered in Waifus blood.
Nia: "YOU BASTARD!" she said leaving Waifu for Ligma to support.
Ligma caught Waifu as her weight shifted to her.
Ligma let Waifu down slowly and scrambled for her talisman
Nia walked up to the knight and caught its spear as it tried to stab Nia in the stomach.
Nia: "That won't work on me!" she said putting her foot on its chest.
Ligma got a hold of her talisman and prepared the spell to heal Waifu.
Ligma: "HEAL!"
A bright yellow light burst from Ligma as Waifus wounds closed bringing her to full heath.
Ligma looks over at Nia and sees her walking back. The knight she was fighting was on the ground; its head was nowhere to be found indeed there was a massive pool of blood where its head once was.
Waifu: "Thank you Ligma."
Although Waifus wounds were fully healed its clear she felt shame for getting wounded.
Nia: "I wasn't paying attention but looks like you're fine now." she said looking away.
Ligma: "I share the blame for this too, it turned out fine this time, but this would have been way worse if I was out of mana."
Waifu: "If its ok I would like it if we could forget this happened."
Ligma: "Why."
Waifu: "I wish only to be useful and getting stabbed in the stomach isn't exactly being useful." she said smiling at Ligma.
Ligma: "It was my fault that you were hurt in the first place, but if that's what you want, I don't mind.
The wind blows through the windows of the mess hall where the dark suns gaze can't reach. The distant howls of hollows could be heard from outside.
