Prince Mansion-

Raven's eyes are wide, and they eventually start to twitch.  "No... NOO!!!"  She kicks his lifeless body, punching his face until his blood is all over her hands.  "COME BACK SO I CAN KILL YOU!!!"

Topher holds her arms back, trying to restrain her, "RAY RAY! Come on! He's gone..."

"DAMN IT!!"  She looks at her beaten arm, her anger rising with each second.  "Now I don't get the solution or my revenge!!"

"Well the last part may be true but maybe not the solution..." Crouch piped in.

"Think the answer may be somewhere?"

"Everything's somewhere! It's not like people just learn spells out of the blue! If he knew the spell, he learnt it from somewhere. Maybe a mentor, maybe a book. If it's a mentor and he viewed his favorably, you can kill him as a strike back against him..."

Raven nods, "Yes, you're right..."  She looks back at Archibald's mansion.  "So there must be something in there to help us out."

"Probably. It's at least worth a look..."

"Then let's go..."  Raven walks in, steaming with anger.

The pair follow behind her, as Topher kept looking at her arm to try and keep the effects from spreading.

Raven looks around, breaking anything she comes in contact with.

"Umm Ray, the chair didn't do this to you you know?" Topher asked with concern. She had a chance to redo her life, to not fall into that anger again...

"Oh what do you know? What's some wanton destruction now that the man is dead?" Crouch encouraged her with a smile on his face.

"The chair may not have, but it belonged to HIM!  If we find nothing here, I'm burning this place to the ground!!"

Crouch opened up a door to the library, all the shelves well stocked with books on the dark arts and other arcane secrets (including swan spells) .

Raven looks through every single book she can find, not getting any solutions.  "DAMMIT!!!"  She throws one of the books so it breaks a nearby table.

"Don't worry Ray, we'll get through this..." Topher reassured her as he asked Crouch, "Hey I don't suppose you have any teachers that may know of magic of this sort?"

Crouch thinks long and hard, "Well I did know one in the past but I don't believe she's still alive..."

Raven starts punching a nearby wall, her anger getting the better of her, not helping her marked arm at all.

Topher holds her back, "Your knuckles bleeding won't help you out of this Ray... come on..." He tried to calm her, "Go on Crouch who was he? And please tell me he doesn't look like a snake..."

"Oh no, HE was a SHE and HER name is Zenobia and remains one of the best witches I've ever seen..." Crouch explained.

"If she's not alive, would she have any texts we could see?"

"Potentially, It's at least worth investigation..."

Raven nods, "Then let's go..."

OOC To the Zenobia Cave!
