After about ten minutes, a letter was slipped through the gap under the door. All these inns had gaps under their doors, which was funny. But it was great for delivering letters. Joan finished half of her coffee before going over to pick it up. She was kind of lazy, before she read the letter. It was from Aadrian, who was offering her a job to do something wicked, as usual. The vampyress read on. He did not give the exact details of course, and so she would have to meet with him first before doing the actual mission. Which was better. Since she was not given a lot of details to be able to do the job herself already. Even though she felt like lazing around for a bit, she realised that she could do that after the job was done. After all, the thought of having more money after doing that kind of motivated her to get off her ass and get to work. The vampyress got up and went over to her travel bag, picking out her usual work attire. She had been really liking the leather jacket she got for herself. She usually wore it everywhere now, well unless it was daytime because it was damn hot in the daytime. She sighed and looking in the mirror, sorting her hair so that it was not a bird’s nest. She brushed through the tangles and pulled up her dark hair into a high ponytail.

Soon she was standing close to the cemetery that Aadrian was waiting at. He was not exactly waiting at the cemetery, but a rooftop that overlooked the cemetery. Joan made her way to the rooftop to meet her client, and as soon as he spotted her, he gestured for her to come over, which she did. Now that she was here, he began to explain the details of the request to her. This time, he was interested in getting a dead body to be used in his undead army. She nodded and listened although she was making a slight frown that the client would see if he was observant enough. It seemed that he was more interested in the mission and did not notice it. She could not expect anything more ‘out of this world’ from Aadrian. He was part of a cult anyways, so that was a given. The client made hand motions to describe his great plan. She could see that he was quite passionate about it, and really sure that she could do this for him. She wondered what he would do to her if she failed. Would he use her as some kind of sacrifice or something even worse? Or just let her go and ask someone else to do it? But given the conditions of the request, if she fucked up, there was no second chance. Aadrian finished explaining and was now giving her instructions on how to do what he wanted her to do.

Soon she could hear some footsteps and distant chatter as if people were entering the cemetery. And sure enough, she spotted some priested coming into the cemetery with a casket. That had to be it. She looked up to the rooftop where Aadrian would be watching and saw that he was making a thumbs up, to confirm that it was indeed the casket in which the target corpse would be. Joan waited a bit, and after a while the priests disappeared somewhere. This was her one and only chance that she predicted she could not get another time as easily. Hurrying over to the casket, she opened it up and found a dead body inside. She picked it out of the casket and placed it next to the casket. Since she had some time, she went over and pulled out a gravestone, splitting it in half with her strength and placing one piece in the casket, and tossing the other piece far away. Then she picked up the corpse and started making her way to the rooftop so that she could not be detected. Joan thought that her job was done here. She had no idea what the client was going to make her do next. Once she got to the rooftop, she saw that Aadrian was looking at the corpse as if he was seeing a delicious meal. He looked like he was ready to chow down on it. “That all?” she asked to make sure.

Aadrian shut the door once they were inside the house. He instructed Joan to place the corpse in the center of the hall and so she did. They were going to begin the ritual now, and Joan was quite curious to see a ritual happen right in front of her. This was going to be a first for her and she was ready for the experience. She patted away anything disgusting that might have clung to her clothes while carrying the dead body and stood about three feet from the dead body as Aadrian began his work on it. He started drawing stuff around the corpse and soon Joan realised that it was a pentagram. She wondered where he got the chalk he was using to draw the pentagram with, because she did not see him having one before. Then he took a few steps back so that he was standing near Joan. He began chanting and the corpse began to float in the air, and then he turned to her to ask her to place her hand on his shoulder to pour mana into him. Once she did that he continued with the ritual and when it was done, the corpse was standing in the middle of the hall. Joan watched in awe as Aadrian rewarded her for helping him. He expressed his thanks and left with his new undead warrior.
