Chapter 2 Yharnam

If there was one word Spike Solaris use above all other is the coldness of night and emptiness. Spike found himself back at the house at the bottom of the hill next to some headstones. He walks around the place and finds a thin area and a creepy house on a hill. After looking at the place Spike can confirm that this area is isolated, from the world of that human and big wolf. He also noticed that to his right past the tombstones were a small area that maybe use to testing out a weapon, and to his left, he sees more headstones but those were different. Spike also noticed that the doll was not in her place the first time he was waking in this strange place.

“Where did that doll go?” Spike looked around for any hint that somepony move it.

As Spike looks around, even more, he hears some giggling coming from the house. He made his way up to the house and try to open the doors but it will not budge.

“Maybe I should just get out of here?” Spike quickly walk down the hill.

He kneels in front of the headstone; Yharam Headstone. He examines the headstone and fond more writing on it. 1st Floor Sickroom, Central Yharnam.

“So, the 1st Floor sickroom was where the Wolf was at, I should avoid that area for now,” Spike read the headstone

Hm, so Central Yharnam is where that lamp at the top of the latter? Well better go there.” Spike confirmed his decision.

Spike touches the Central Yharnam engraving and feeling his body get heavier.

“You think that that young dragon will ends this hunt for good,” the Doll in a soft monotone voice.

“Maybe but we just have to wait and see” Gehrman whisper

“of course,” said the Doll looking at the door.

Spike got up off the ground not sure what to do next. He hears coughing from a nearby window and went to go investigate.

“Hello, are you alright?” Spike asks a little worry in his voice.

“Oh, you must be a hunter.” A sickly man ask.

“No, not really” Spike in a low growl

“Will that too bad, and you are not from around here, either.” A man cough

“How can you tell” Spike look surprise

“Because like you, I’m an outsider. The name Gilbert.” Said in joy tone but still coughing.

“Well Gilbert, I’m Spike Solaris Dragon, but my friends call me Spike,” he said in an almost happy tone.

“You consider me a friend?” Gilbert look surprised

“yes, I do, besides you have not attacked me,”. Spike confirmed

“I have to ask, are you a nobleman or a prince?” Gilbert ask.

“Why would you said that?”

“Because your name sounds like royalty.”

“Well yes and no, I have a choice to become royalty or not, If I do choose that path of royalty it may lead the country I love to go into chaos. My family will be hurt because I’m an outsider in my country.” Spike growl.

“How so, if your royalty how do the people consider you an outside,” Gilbert ask

“Well I’m adopted, so I have no royal blood. So, if the people find out I could be killed or my friend and family could be hurt.” Spike felt a little mad.

“Why?” asked Gilbert.

“Well, my pon/ People yes people and the other races that live in Equestria, just now start to get along so yeah.” Spike a little hopeful that thing goes well at the Summit of Leader.

“Well my beware that my friend, Yhanam has a special way of treating guests. Well, I don’t think I stand if I wanted to… But I’m willing to help a friend and someone of royalty.” Gilbert laughs a little.

“If there’s anything that can be done”. Gilbert a cough

But this town is cursed. Whatever your reason might be, you should plan a swift exit. Whatever can be gained from this place, it will do more harm than good… Gilbert cough more.

“Can I ask you a question? What are Paleblood?” Spike looking for some answer.

“Paleblood, you say? Hmm… Never heard of it.” Gilbert said.

Spike looked down not finding the answer.

“But if its blood you’re interested in, you should try the Healing Church. The church controls all knowledge on blood ministration and varieties of blood. Across the valley to the East of Yhanam lies the town of the Healing Church, known as the Cathedral Ward.” He whispered.

“And deep within the Cathedral Ward is the old Grand Cathedral… the birthplace of the Healing Church’s special blood. So, they say.” Gilbert cough more.

“Yhrnamites don’t share much outsides. So be careful my friend”. Gilbert said

“Normally, they wouldn’t let you near the place, But… The hunt is on tonight. This might be your chance…” He coughs

“I haven’t heard of Paleblood, but… that is your best bet if it’s anything to do with unique of blood…” cough even more.

Spike look to the direction of Gilbert was talking about and sees his destination.

“Thank you, Gilbert.”

Spike went back to the latter and see a bridge to his right.

Maybe that the way the Cathedral Ward.

Spike went back to Gilbert and to his left to he see a gate, he tries to open it but it will not budge. He sees another path leading down a stone hill. Spike went down the path, and lead to a stone bridge to see more Yhrnamites down on the main road. He walk across the bridge to his left, see and gaping hole, and to his right leading down some more stone steps. Spike looks around the hole in the iron fence. He hears foots steps and on instincts jump back to the left, barely avoiding a medium-size ax that the Yhrnamite are wielding. The Yhrnamite start to roar and swing his ax wildly try to hit him. He jumps back again and waiting for the Yhrnamite to get tired, Spike sees his opportunity and dash forward use his Saw Cleaver and slash across the man's chest ripping a piece of flesh off. The man recoiled from the pain while Spike continually cutting into the Yhrnamite falling dead.

“That was a close one, need to pay more attention to my surroundings.”

He walks down the stone step and to his right he sees two Yhrnamites, the one that is close to him is sitting on the ground holding a small sickle, and another one looks off in the distance holding a wood shield in his left hand, and a torch in his right hand. Spike slowly walk up to the man that was sitting on the ground, raising his Saw Cleaver, before he can react Spike brought his Cleaver down cutting through the Yhrnamite head. The second one hears his buddies blood pour out of his skull, he rushes towards Spike with anger in his eyes. Spike dodge to the left and pull out his Hunt Pistol and shoot the Yhrnamite, but he raises his shield to block the bullet and cackles. Spike smiles and inhale and breathes fire on the wood shield turning it into ash. The man was surprised that the young hunter can breathe fire, Spike dashes toward him and slices his chest, blood pouring from the wound and falling dead.

Spike look to his right sees more Yhrnamites down on the made roads. He waits from to past, as they walk up the main road, Spike went down the road where the main gate was at. He sees a lever that is connected to the gate, reaching for the lever and pulls it toward him. The gate slowly opens with a loud squeak, looking around and finding the path he started on.

Spike turns around to see a giant fat man wield a giant fuck-off ax.

He jumped back ready for a fight, the fat man charge at him with his ax and with a mighty swing brought the ax down cracking the stone ground between Spike's legs. He dashes forward slashing at the man's stomach and succeed. Spike jumps back waiting for his next opportunity, but the fat man grabs him tightly and throwing him into an alleyway. Spike crashes through a bunch of wooden caskets and boxes full of rotten fruit, he lunges at him with his ax in the air. Spike quickly dodge to the right and pull out his Hunter Pistol and shot it, the man did not even flinch from pain. Spike quickly dashes forward to try and cut off Man's hand hold the giant ax.

The fat man jumps back dodging Spike Saw Cleaver, he lands and running forward grabbing Spike and putting him into a bear hug. Spike scream from the death grip, then he rolls his ax so its blade is facing him. He nows holding Spike with his left arm, and using is right-hand drags the ax across the back of Spike's head. Spike Scream even louder feeling the giant ax slice into his head, blood running down his neck and off the ax. Though his pain and scream Spike inhale and breathes his fire into his attacker's face, he let go of the young dragon. He slowly got back up to his feet, feeling more blood running down his head and on to his back. Spike slowly tries to run away but he can only limp away. Spike made it to the main gate until he feels pain coursing through his back. Spike turned around and sees the Fat man behind him, the man swings his ax and hit him with the flat end. Send the young dragon across the stone ground near the latter. Spike looked at the Fat man daze, walking at him ax in both hands. He turned and see the latter from before.

He slowly starts to climb the latter as the Fat man jump with his ax raises in the air, he barely misses Spike's spine but slices his tail off. He screams continues to climb the latter until he reaches the top. Spike slowly drags himself to the lamp bleeding from his stump of a tail and slowly close his eyes, the last thing hears was Gilbert's voice pleading
