Off to Paineston

[Phillis Von Christ]

Norman yelled in pain on the ground. He could no longer move. "Y-You.. filthy demon.."

[Walter Grace]

"I think the demon here is you, for bringing any sort of harm to my son." Walter spat. His head was bleeding slightly, and his clothes were dirty, but still the man stood tall over Norman.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Norman knew he was dieing. "Dammit all to hell. I was the king of the blackmarket.. How dare you ruin that?.." he coughed, as he looked up at Walter one last time. "R-Rot in..hell, demon." and with that, he died.

[Walter Grace]

"...I plan to." Walter smirked. He put out the fire and rushed over to Phillis and Grayson. Kneeling down to the boys level, he asked, "Are you two alright...?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis let go of Grayson. The boy smacked Walter lightly. "Why didn't ya tell me that you're my papa?!" he yelled out.

Phillis laughed awkwardly. "I kinda told him so that he would calm down."

[Walter Grace]

"Really, Phillis?" Walter chuckled slightly, turning to the boy. "I just found out myself, Grayson. No need to yell."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis laughed. "Oh come on, the kid was practically crying. I don't deal well with that."

Grayson sighed. "Okay, I suppose I forgive ya, but ya need to come see mama. She talks about you all the time!"

[Walter Grace]

"She...she does...?" Walter thought for a moment. "Well...what does she talk about?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"She's always saying you ought to show up sometime or pay child support or somethin'." Grayson laughed.

[Walter Grace]

Walter smirked. I only knew her for a night, and I can picture her saying that.

"Well, when we get to Paineston we'll visit her, alright?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"All you are goin' to Paineston now, right? Well, let's hurry, it's close by!" Grayson said, grabbing Walters hand.

[Walter Grace]

Walter smiled, turning into his other form and grabbing his rod and placing it in his belt. "My king, are you ready?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis stood up and brushed his clothing off. "Of course, let's get going. I hate to waste time."

[Walter Grace]

Walter nodded, still holding the boy's hand. He smiled at Phillis, "I just thought of something. Where are the horses with our things?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"They ran off, I suppose." Phillis said as they all walked away together. The end of the forest was near.

As they had left that part of the forest, all the attackers raised again. They were no longer controlled by Norman. They all looked at each other confused. but managed to put everything together and go their separate ways.

[Walter Grace]

Walter, as they neared Paineston, picked up Grayson and placed him on his shoulders. He smiled, asking the two, "Are we getting close?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Just a coupla more steps!" Grayson exclaimed happily. " This forest is close to my home, you can both stay and meet mama!"

[Walter Grace]

Walter chuckled, nodding. "That would be lovely, Grayson. As long as she'll have us, that is."

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Mama never minds having men over." Grayson said, not realizing how bad it sounded.

Phillis nearly laughed at the boys comment, he held it back with a fake cough.

[Walter Grace]

Walter chuckled, smiling, "I wouldnt go around telling people that. It does not sound very...good, per say."
