Memo giggled and followed Sammy a up onto the beach. Once there he released his Skarmory, Catelynn, and hopped on waiting for the signal to leave.

~Sanctus Espiritus... "OK, I guess we're good to go!" Maddy said, jumping onto Star's back and taking off into the sky.
Soon, they found themselves flying over the Sinnoh region, soaring towards Celestic Town. As they neared their destination, they began to near a giant cloud that seemed to engulf the landscape before them. "Wow, that's a lot of fog. Good thing we didn't plan on walking there. Star, use Defog! It's easy to lose your sense of direction in this kind of weather." Star hovered in mid-air for a bit and furiously flapped her wings. The fog was now less dense and they could see the landscape below much better. They were safe, for now.
A few minutes later, they landed in Celestic Town. Maddy recalled Star. "The Elder's house... Now where might that be?"... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

Sammy jumped down from Vixen's back, returning her pokemon. "Perhaps the one with a lot of old looking stuff on it?" she suggested jokingly. "I'm sure we could ask around," she suggested more seriously.

Memo hopped off Catelynn and returned her.
"Hehe. Maybe she's not even home...she might be at that temple.."

~Sanctus Espiritus... "Old-looking stuff on it? Well, we should expect to see Thard lounging on the roof then! Just kidding." Maddy looked around and sighed. "Yeah the temple would be the best place to look. And if she's not there, there might be some other creepy old person there who'll know where she is." With that in mind, she made her way to the center of the town, where the ground sloped downward towards the cave that the town was so well-known for.... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

Sammy examined the cavern with her eyes, scrunching them in slight disgust. She didn't really like caves all that much, but they were better then water. "So, I suppose she'll just be in there looking at stuff?" she asked.

"Haha!"
Memo couldn't help but laugh at Maddy's comment about Thard.
"Alrighty then."
Memo followed Maddy into the sloping ground and kept his eyes peeled.

~Sanctus Espiritus... "Well, what else do old people have to do other than look at things all day? Last I checked, the cave walls were covered in runes and stuffs so she's probably in there studying those." Maddy entered the cave, and sure enough, there was words all over the place. "I love places like this. It's like one giant book made of rock!" She noticed an old lady knelt in front of one of the cave walls, praying. "Oh, uh, hey!! You!! Old person! Are you the Village Elder?"The old woman turned to Maddy and suddenly jumped to her feet, backed up against the wall. "Get out of this sacred place, demon!!" She cried, whipping out a cross and a vial of holy water.... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

"..."
Memo was in awe with all the runes in the cave and how elaborate they looked.
"!"
He was caught off guard by the old woman who attacked Maddy. Instinctively Memo jumped in front of Maddy.
"Hey! Calm down please!!"
The boy asked pleadingly and innocently.

Sammy had been observing the intricacies of the cavern when she heard the old woman scream at Maddy. "Hey!" she barked, taking a threatening step towards the old woman. "Don't talk to her like that!" she growled, barring her teeth to show that she wasn't joking. With Sammy, it was either no emotion or all-in. There was no middle.

~Sanctus Espiritus... Maddy stepped around Memo. "Hey! It's just a cross and a bit of water, what can that possibly do?" She took a step towards the old woman. "Listen, I'm not here to hurt you, we just need to find the -- AAAAHHH WHAT THE @#$%?!" Maddy suddenly jumped back. The woman had tossed the vial of holy water at her and it hit and burst in her face. The water burned at Maddy's skin and she quickly wiped it off her face with the sleeve of her coat. "Now come on! There's really no need!""How dare you desecrate this sacred place with your presence, evil demon! Get out of here before I send you back to Hell!" The woman screeched, suddenly rushing forward with great speed and smacking Maddy right in the face with the cross she held."OWWW!! Why does it burn?! I'm only half-demon!!" Maddy leapt further back. She had a burn mark on her face in the shape of the cross.... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

Memo was now angered by this Old Woman's ignorance.
"..."
He sped behind the Old Woman and now had a knife at her throat as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"We need help..."

Sammy jumped forth, no longer taking the path of least resistance. She grabbed the old woman by the scruff of her neck, lifting her up and pulling her away from Maddy. "Stop it now, you old bat!" she growled. When Memo took out the knife, she let go, folding her arms.

~Sanctus Espiritus... The old woman began to cry. She was so frightened. "Please! Please don't kill me! I have lived a good life! I have never sinned! Why does God punish me so?!" She howled, dropping to her knees, begging for mercy."Whoa, whoa, guys!" Maddy ran forward and pushed both her teammates off of her. "She's an old person! Don't make her have a heart attack. She's only protecting herself." Maddy knelt down before the old lady. "Listen, we're not here to hurt you. I'm not a demon. I'm only a half-demon, on my Father's side. It's not a choice I made."The old woman gazed at Maddy with amazement upon hearing her words. She placed both her hands on Maddy's face and gazed deeply into the half-demons eyes. "You... Your eyes tell a very interesting story." She let go of Maddy's face and then stood up and looked at all of them. "I... I am sorry for acting so. It's been a long while since I met a demon, in this case half-demon."... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

Sammy folded her arms, her upper lip twitching lightly. "It's ironic that the partial demon is more forgiving then us," she pointed out, still glaring at the old woman. Personally, she still didn't like her.
