Get In the Damn Box

"GET IN THE BOX NIDGET!" We were standing outside my shop in the street, the spirit had decided to go all out now.  The district my shop was in up to the poor area Nidget lived in were now surrounded by a purple wall of shrieking evil.  Captain Therod was thankfully not trapped with us (because she would have totally blamed us even though it was our fault, blaming us is mean!)

"I can't fit in the box Trezlan." I was going to suggest cutting off his legs, but he had Andre there with him and that didn't seem like a wise thing to mention with his bodyguard right there.

"YOU STARTED THIS YOU HAVE TO FINISH IT ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"Why are you shouting?"

"Because this was a great moment for shouting, look Nidget I have a set up here, you have opened the door to this spi..." I was cut off halfway through, the spirit appeared and launched me backwards (its strength had been increased because Nidget was there, the originator of its freedom). I landed on the dirt, the spirit was on top of me its anger and hatred manifest in the gore it had covered itself in (at least I hoped it was manifested, it might have actually been butchering people). I knew my blood magic wouldn't work again because the spirit had been caught off guard before, now it knew it was coming (they learn like that annoyingly so, especially the evil ones, not that there are a lot of good spirits I'd fought). I tried to burn it (hey worth a shot!) and of course that failed like so many other things, at that point I was down to Valrym's sword or my revolver, I had faith in neither.

Nidget looked on at me as the spirit bared down and then stuck his hand in the box, there was a wail that echoed in the entire district painfully so, and then the spirit and all of its evil were sucked into the little object, the work of my runes (well either that or Nidget has some secret power unbefore seen). Nidget withdrew his hand and the box shut, the district was no longer surrounded by evil energy, I got up off the ground and made my way over to the box.

"Glad you didn't take too long to stick something in."

"You could have just told me to put my hand in you know." I didn't exactly know that would work, I figured it might work, but I did kind of want Nidget to be stuck in the box with his little spirit.

"Details, now leave the box to me I know exactly where I'm going to put it."

"What leave it to you? It's my box!" Ever the petulant child.

"Sure I'll leave you this evil spirit so that you can unleash it again and we do this dance all over again except next time the trap runes won't work.  No you little miscreant, here take these gold coins and be thankful you get them." I threw the coins on the ground and he said something under his breath, but still collected them like the good little thief he was.  Captain Therod arrived shortly there after a cadre of her guards with her.

"What did you idiots do?"

"Fixed the problem Captain, now if you'll excuse me I have an evil spirit to get rid of."

"Lorentino I swear to whatever god you believe in if you are just going to release that somewhere else."

"It would follow me back and cause a problem for me again, no Captain I intend on disposing of it, don't worry so much!" I swear people think so little of me despite me being the grandest hero this world has ever seen.  I mean read this journal! I'm the greatest hero ever! Sure I've murdered some innocents, but you can't make a great steak without butchering a pack animal! Wait that sounds bad, nevermind.
