We all had different ideas of what to do to prepare ourselves for the final fight.
There will still be many injuries to heal and many loose ends to tie afterward, and animals and plants that will die if left unable to take care of themselves, and a very lonely heart to uncover again, but this will be our major offensive to free the Alfredo family from demonic attack, and to free the entire town of Purgatory Gulch from the terrors in the night and the day. The town may not survive, but at least it will be free, finally.
Princess Alfredo and the Hesters whipped up some special symbols that will prevent the Alfredo family security system from alarming abd warning all the Hell-Bovines who are living in the Alfredo family ranch houses that we are approaching and about to apply the boot of Justice to the butt of evil.
I probalby shouldn't have opened that alchemist jar labeled, "Happy". She's both an alchemist and a Pixie, I mean, Piskey.
Yeah, I did misplace Topiary Rex. I'm sure he will graze on whatever he needs. Hopefully no more.
But in Miss Melinda's secret hideaway and alchemist laboratory, we did whip up a batch of her "Undemoning Serum" and even planned out who is going to apply it to whom. Whom, right?? Yeah, whom. Same with Lee Chung's Holy Rose Wafers. The Hell-Hands won't know what hit them, and then when we get them un-demoned, they will remember everything that hit them, probably, but they will be free.
So, again, good sleep, great morning breakfast, no alchemy taste, which shows how good Lee Chung is, considering the equipment he had to use.
Whatever civies we could, we got out of harm's way, which is to say, Bruthazmus put them somewhere, I didn't quite catch where.
I wild-shaped myself into an owl again and flew recon over to Sarsaparilla Ranch again, because we didn't need me to be another horse nor a Dagnabbit., which would have been fun. I really hope that jar of "Happy" wears off soon. I think I'm feeling clearer already.
Sephia has been flying all her life, so she whooshed far to the east side of the Alfredo Ranch and set off one of the alarms. Whoa, that was like kicking over an ant hill full of demon-possessed cattle in full stampede mode. She drew away most of them.
As the rest of the Posse arrived at Sarsaparilla Ranch, I clued them in to the small amount of remaining hell-bovines, etc. maybe a dozen hell-sheep kept in place by two Hell-Hands, and a dozen Hell-Bovines with another pair of hell-hands. Miro used that magic spell that improves my human eyesight. Oh, I turned back to human form again, I don't know if I said that. I'm hungry again already.
We rode, we ran. I called the lightning. Pow, Hell-Bovines scatter. There's a deep voice, "It's all fun and games until someone loses their soul." It has got to be the big boss.
"Oh, really?" I think, "You think you can handle our troops? You can't handle the troops!"
