To Puella's surprise, It didn't really matter because the most she could see were the textures of the clothes, but it was still nice touching each article of clothing. But when she pulled back to what seemed like a wool tunic, she saw a ghostly face. It was filled with several holes, where she could see some brief glimpses of bone. Puella shot back, almost crying in fright as she knocked into the door behind her. The Pirate Captain was shocked by her reaction and moved through the rack. The Pirate Captain seemed concerned. He floated over and he held out one of his bullet holed hands, trying to help Puella up. When he tried grabbing her, his hand went through her. Puella tried standing up, she felt her weight making her legs wobble. "Are you okay," Puella heard the pirate say in a whisper, a cold wind blew onto Puella's face. "Y-yes, I'm sorry for interrupting... Wait, why were you even hiding there," Puella asked with a nervous stutter, worried that the spirit was upset. The Spirit showed a small smile, it was almost painful to look at. Puella didn't know why. "Oh, well. The Master doesn't like it when I try to introduce myself to others...He didn't like his last apprentices all that much either," He said sadly with a sign as he faced the mirror. The mirror began to grow front from the edges, sadly he couldn't see a reflection of himself. Puella was confused by the spirit's statement. "What do you mean," She asked, trying to look at the spirit's face. It still held a sad look. "Whenever any of his staff, including his former apprentices. He takes them to the dungeon, and does a manner of unspeakable things to them," His voice trailed, blowing another draft of cold, salty wind in Puella's face. Puella knew that she had a bad feeling about this Manner as soon as she stepped inside, the way the Nightmare lord acted, and the fact that everything was void of color gave her a sour feeling about this. The Ghost faced her again. "And I'm guessing you don't want to disappear without seeing the outside of the island, so I will help you," The Pirate said as he walked through a rack of clothing. Puella approached the rack of cold clothing and peeked through, the Pirate looked out the window. The sun was down and the moon was out and shining over the land. The Pirate Captain was right, they were on a small island. And there was a dock with two-row boats tied to a post in the water. "Why are you helping me?" The Man turned, with a depressing look in his eye. "When I first came to this realm, I thought my son would greatly love coming here. But it is a mistake I will forever regret. I have no time to explain my relations to him. But I think it's time for me to repay my long-lasting enemy by bringing back his Marked Apprentice," He said as he faced Puella, pointing to her left wrist. Puella suddenly felt a burning sensation where her blood vessels were, she howled in pain. Grabbing her wrist instinctively and holding it to her face. She saw a green light, it was forming a green circle with an arrow driving through it. It glowed for a minute, then it just formed a green tattoo. Puella was hyperventilating, she tried to use her right hand to wipe it off. It stayed, Puella felt her brain melting with this new information, she still had so many questions."Get in one of those cloaks, I'll bring you to the dock," He said as he unlatched the window and a huge breeze pushed some racks back to the brick wall. Puella nodded and she looked through the rack she was peeking through. She saw a few fur jackets, then she saw a cape with a white fur surface with a high collar. Puella grabbed it and threw it over her back and buttoned it. There was pounding on the door, the Butler must have been concerned about how loud her screams of pain were. The Pirate captain grabbed Puella by the cloak and he flew out of the window, behind them she could hear the door slam open. Below Puella was a dead black forest that had a rotting smell from there above the trees. Puella didn't want to cover her nose, but she was afraid she was gonna fall.
