Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20190816164916/@comment-36359477-20190817195348

(My attempt though its granted a little rushed)

After hearing the sad story of the unfortunate couple I first thought about just moving on in my travels but then I couldn’t help but ask myself “Could I really live with myself knowing I could perhaps do something to bring the late Mary-Jane some piece?”

After staying the night at the Inn I’m back on my horse heading back to the deserted town to inform Mary’s ghost about the fate of her husband to be, It wasn’t long before she appeared before me like the last time “Oh! Your back! Did you find Billy?” she asks while beaming a hopeful smile.

I take a deep breath hesitant on what to say “Miss Mary-Jane...Your fiancé...was killed by bandits as they robbed a bank” her smile soon drops as she begins sobbing “My poor Billy, all this time I thought he had abandoned me” I reach out my hand to try and comfort her only for my hand to phase right through her “I’m sorry for your loss ma’am, I wish I could do something to help.”

At this Mary-Jane stops her crying, eyes wide like she just had a Eureka moment “He was buried in that town’s graveyard, Right?” I nod. She ponders some more before turning into a wisp “Follow me” voice echo’s as her wisp leads me through the derelict town toward the ruined church, Once inside her wisp comes to hover over an old burial urn “Please, Take my remains to his grave so that we might at least be together in death” her voice pleads as her wisp phases into the urn.

After taking the urn with Mary-jane’s remains and her wisp I set off for the graveyard where Billy was buried it was well into the night by the time we had gotten back to town and soon enough I had entered the graveyard with the urn under one arm. There were a few undead Mamono roaming about all looking for a man to claim, I thought I would surely be snatched by one of them but for some reason they gave me a wide berth, most likely Mary-Jane was keeping them at bay.

After some time of searching the tombstones I find Billy’s grave and place Mary-Jane’s urn there, As soon as I do another wisp appears while a male voice echo’s “What are you doing to my grave, stranger?” before I could answer Mary-Jane phases out of the urn while turning into her Ghost form “Billy? Is that you?” she asks the wisp “Mary!...” came Billy’s voice sounding surprised “...I’m so sorry I...” the wisp’s voice sobbed but was cut off by Mary-Jane as she grabbed the wisp and held it tight to her chest “Shhh, its alright darling, this traveller told me what happened."

She then turned to with a look of joy on her face “Thank you so much traveller for reuniting me with my beloved, might I know your name?” she says as she cradles the wisp in her arms “I’m Corvus ma’am and I’m glad I could help.” I said while smiling at my good deed.

After saying our goodbye and them insisting that come back to visit at some point in the future I decide to leave the reunited couple alone.

As I turn to leave I see all the undead Mamono between me the graveyard entrance and all of them staring at me with a hungry gaze as they stalk their way towards me.

Well, It looks like I’m about to become Billy’s and Mary-jane’s new neighbour if I can’t get past the undead Mamono and escape the graveyard.
