The Attic Whisperer

It had made its home there after the nuns and children left. Its emergence triggered a lullaby-haunt that nearly put Samantha and Kracka to sleep. It bit and clawed Kracka unconscious before Kuippana sent Mielikki against it and frost magic wounded it. Khar’gan battered it, while Kracka knocked it prone and continued attacking. It struck back ineffectively, then fled to a corner and collapsed sobbing. Lexx Rennde’s embrace left it confused and sluggish. Khar’gan cut it twice, Kracka nearly wrecked it with a hammer, and Mielikki finally smashed its skull against the wall, destroying it in the orphanage’s attic.
