A few hours later, Goh emerged from his study and headed back down into the dungeon. As he opened the door to the room where he'd left Ilea, he looked over what he'd done to her so far then gave a smile that made her whimper in fear, "Time to finish your lesson, my dearest Ilea..." he told her simply then closed the door behind him.
This time, he stayed in there for half a day. Her screams echoed through the castle again until she finally lost her voice, then eerie silence reigned through the stone building.
When he finally emerged this time, he was covered in blood. He closed the door behind him and looked at the two skeletal guards in turn, "Return to your other duties. She won't be leaving any time soon," he said simply, his dark voice carrying a tone of immense satisfaction.
Then he went to his room to clean up. The skeletal guards just bowed their heads to him as he left and went down to guard the room that held the living subjects for his necromantic experiments.
The only sound that came from the room where Ilea was, was a slow but steady dripping and an occasional ragged breath...

Appa Shieron Mugetsu Ever wants to keep Ilea alive, though, so a little weird magical mumbo-jumbo would come in handy when you guys kill Goh...
It was a rough trip through the shadows, but Ilea got them all there. Right into the room where she'd only just been chained to the bloody table in the center of the room, two tables on either side that held the bloody instruments that had been used on her.
As the shadows faded, Ilea dropped to her knees beside Baren with a pained groan, "He's in his study... upstairs... door next to the throne room..." she gasped out, urging them both to go on.
Goh, meanwhile, was deep into researching how he could channel Esabel's budding powers into himself. Books were open all over his desk in his study while he took notes in a leather-bound journal devoted to his little mistake. He had others he'd done on other subjects and experiments, including Ilea, on one bookshelf, all clearly marked. But his focus was on Esabel for now, not the one he'd called his beloved...

Ilea shook her head as she eased herself down onto the floor, ignoring the patches of blood there in the process. She was just so tired right now and hurting so much... She just wanted it to stop...
"Just stay with me... until he's dead, Baren..." she said softly, raising one shaking hand to him as she blinked her crimson eyes in an effort to stay awake, "Keep me awake," she added, not wanting to sleep until it was over.
Goh spun around and got to his feet when his study was invaded and most of his books destroyed. The ones containing his notes were protected against any attempts to destroy them so he didn't worry about them.
He narrowed his dark red eyes at the intruder and gave a low growl of anger, "So... Your master sent a toy to get rid of me... How droll..." he said simply, his words implying he was bored but his tone showing his anger.
He raised his hands and summoned a small army of walking skeletons and zombies between them then reclined one hip against his desk, motioning for them to attack Volug with a careless wave of his hand.
He knew he was no match for the demonic creation but knew better than to show it, summoning a simple magical shield to keep the flying blood from getting to him. It wouldn't hold for long, but maybe long enough for his minions to get rid of the whelp.
Still, he couldn't resist one last jab at the idiot, "How is my little mistake doing? I do hope she likes my next little surprise for her," he gave a dark chuckle as he looked at the claws on the glove over his right hand, "It would be interesting to watch as she slowly came to recoil from your every touch, as if your very skin was acid to her... She'll have to come back to me to remove it..." he gave another dark chuckle as he picked up the leather-bound notebook he'd been writing in and looked over the spell he'd only just finished casting before he'd been so rudely interrupted, "Not even Gin could have mastered the cure of this one without my blood to use..." his lips curved into a cruel smile, knowing he'd never let her bathe in his blood for the cure.
That would make her his at last, let him siphon her powers for his own before finally destroying the little mistake. He allowed himself to get lost in the thoughts of the power he'd gain from Esabel once he had her on his table...

Goh tried to reach for all the power he'd been building up over the centuries just for moments like this. But something blocked it from him. He gave an angry shout of rage over what was happening but knew there was nothing he could do about it.
So, he tried for the one ace he had left. He sent his soul out of his body, letting it drop to the ground with a bloody gurgle as his soul went for his one final hiding place, his one last effort at immortality.
Down through the floor, where the cage didn't prevent his movement. Down past the dungeon and into a hidden chamber. In here, on an alter in the center of the room, lay a new body for him. This one was stronger, much more powerful, and certainly much more handsome.
But as he approached the body, something pulled at him, dragged his screaming soul back to the body he'd abandoned. So his final sight was that of the b*****d creation as he finally died.
Only his bespelled notebooks remaining as a testament to all of his years of work, the one on Esabel sliding across the floor to stop beside Volug's foot....
Down in the dungeon, Ilea gave a harsh gasp as her body arched in Baren's arms, her crimson eyes wide with the pain moving through her in this moment. Her mouth tried to say his name one last time, but all that came out was a primal scream before she simply collapsed in his arms.
Her heart gave one more beat, then stopped as her eyes closed one last time.
The energy of Volug severing that connection between Ilea and Goh seemed to fill the bloody room around her and Baren like a mad whirlwind before coalescing into one small bright line of energy that lashed around a bit like the end of a live powerline. Then it snapped right to Baren, instantly connecting them and making him her new master...
