The Second Pass [Mod]

[Holly Mason]

Her last pass didn't yield anything, but that didn't mean she should just stop passing by old areas.  Sometimes her passes revealed that new areas had been unlocked, sometimes she found interesting scrap or other items, and sometimes she sensed powerful shadows.  Coming back around to all the major areas was always important because of that.  She didn't sense anything yet, but there was a chance there was something further down the hole.

Regardless, if there was anything new here Holly would find it.  If there wasn't, well it was worth a quick look around.  Exploring wasn't as difficult as it used to be.

Looks like there was nothing special here, just some ordinary shadows that she was going to have to beat up if she wanted to get out of here. Oh well. Her buffs activated and she weakened the enemies as she always did. Both responded by using completely ineffectual attacks. One used ice and the other continued the shadow tradition of throwing huge fireballs at her face. Holly just rolled her eyes and readied her most powerful weapon, throwing it at the angry castle.  It ended up right back in her face, but she didn't mind as it just healed her non-existent wounds.  The castle threw a blast of wind at her, which once again did absolutely nothing.  The sword charged up for a powerful attack.  It was important to finish that one off quickly.

Holly threw more windy knives at the sword, and it clearly hurt it, but not quite enough to finish it off.  She braced herself for a powerful attack, only to have it miss entirely and for the other shadow to use ice again.  She was getting lucky with the shadows' bad aim lately.  Another toss finished off the sword, and it was clear that between her healing and the strength of her attacks that the other shadow wasn't going to last long either.

And that was the end of another pair of shadows that had the audacity to get in her way.  It sounded pretty bad when she put it like that, but it's not like she could just let them kill her.  Ah well, it was time to get out of here since there was nothing interesting happening in this area right now.  She'd do more passes later, but it was time to explore someplace new.

With that, Holly continued up the safe path so she could head home.  She wasn't quite sure what she was going to do when she got home, but she was sure she would think of something.
