Bahari took a deep breath. "No, there could be more than that. Every dead body, if it was good, becomes a spirit. If it was bad, it is left to decompose. I'm assuming Claus was very good?" I don't even know if this will work. She thought.

"Yeah… y-yeah, I think so. I mean, he died trying to avenge my mother, s-so I guess that's good, right?" Lucas looked up at Bahari hopefully.

Ailith smiled at him and went through the hatch. She climbed back down to the deck, waiting for William. "So, what do you want to do?"

"Oh, that's very good. Now, can you close your fist around your necklace and think very, very hard about Claus. Everything you know. I'll do it too." Bahari took her necklace and thought about the little she knew about Claus. This isn't going to work. Probably.

Lucas seemed confused, but did as he was told. He closed his eyes and went back to his earliest memories, which of course included Claus. He remembered everything they had done together, every thing Lucas had tried to dissuade Claus from doing, every place they went to get away from everyone. And he remembered the dragos. The normally friendly creatures that had killed his mother when those evil men killed it and revived it with mechanical parts. Claus had gone after it and was killed as well. Lucas gritted his teeth as he thought about it, clutching the necklace tighter.

Ailith smiled at him and went through the hatch. She climbed back down to the deck, waiting for William. "So, what do you want to do?"

William dropped down to the deck with his usual grace and took another deep breath before saying, “I do not know, what do you want to do?” William felt a little tug from the spirits, all of them whispering urgently, but he found a way to just ignore them, focusing on the physical world around him.

A warm wave washed over Bahari and Lucas. Not believing it had worked, Bahari risked a glance upwards and gasped. There, hovering before Lucas and her, was a somewhat transparent image of what could only be Claus.
"Hello. I don't know yo - LUCAS!"

Lucas had stumbled backwards in surprise and fear, staring up at Claus with his eyes wide. Some sort of electricity seemed to be emanating from him, and his breath had caught in his throat. "C-Claus?" The boy above him nodded, smiling softly. He looked just like Lucas. Lucas felt lightheaded, as though he might just faint at any moment. He wasn't entirely sure what he was seeing.

"It's his spirit. It's not physical, and it won't last long, but…I was hoping you might want to see him." Bahari spoke softly. Claus' spirit didn't get too close to Lucas either, but keeled down in front of him. "You called, brother?"

Lucas reached out towards Claus, biting back tears when his hand went right through him. "Claus… you… y-you didn't have to die. You could have stayed, Claus." The tears rolled down his cheeks. "My greatest regret to this day is not going with you. Then w-we could have died together." Lucas's voice broke as he looked up at his twin.

"Oh, Lucas! I would never, ever, ever let you die. I hope you never do. Unfortunately," He looked away. "I would never have let the same happen to mother. I had to try and kill the thing, you see." He reached out a transparent hand, which was surprisingly warm for what was supposed to be a ghost, and touched his brother's shoulder softly. "I'm sorry. But here I am."

Lucas wanted so badly to be able to hug Claus, but he knew he wouldn't be able to. He drew his knees up to his chest and cried into his arms, which were crossed on top of them. "B-But now you're gone… and… a-and I miss you. I know your spirit's still here, b-but it's just not the same, Claus…"

"Ah, Lucas. I can still talk to you. Remember when I got really sick and you couldn't touch me? It'll be just like that. I'll still be a brother, just not one you can touch." He smiled softly. "It's so extra amazing to see you again, brother. I hope you know that I won't be going back to the spirit world for a while now."

William’s head burst with pain and the spirits screamed. Something wasn’t right, something wasn’t okay. He jerked his head to the lower decks, he legs and feet moving by some phantom force. He was running, hauling open the cabin doors. Was he… searching for something?

Lucas laughed weakly. "Yeah, but we were so close that I got sick anyways. We were stuck in the house for weeks." He tried to wipe some of the tears from his face, hiccuping. "Can… can the others see you, or only me?"

"I can see him too, Lucas," Bahari told him, and Claus nodded. "Only those who summoned me can see me. I assume this beautiful young lady helped a bit?" He smiled, nodding to Bahari.

William hurled open the door with a ghostly force controlling his arm, and he saw why the spirits screamed and tugged him all the way here, “Stop. Stop it now.” He demanded, panting heavy. He stood into the room. The boy was clear and physical for him to see. It was so dangerous. The world found another connecting point here, and if something else came over, “Stop this now.” No one had known about these kind of effects, but it was hard for William not to know when the spirits screamed the dangers at him. They were in pain.

Bahari looked up. "Is it hurting you?" Claus looked frightened at William and seemed to recognize his face. With a sad smile to Lucas, he flickered away.

"C-Claus! No!" Lucas stood up, reaching out towards the place where his brother had vanished. More tears rolled down his cheeks as he looked over at William fearfully.

“You could have killed someone,” William breathed, “You don’t know, you can’t just summon the dead.” William clenched and unclenched his fists, but the pain in his head was residing and the spirits approached fearfully. Sure, they sentenced him to the worst possible future, but he already had a solution and they eere like his family. He would still protect them.

Bahari placed a hand on Lucas's shoulder and walked over to William. "That was Lucas's brother. Unless it was hurting you, you have no right to make him go away like that." Her voice was stern and her body shifted so that it was shielding Lucas.

"He… h-he wasn't gonna hurt anyone!" Lucas shrunk against the wall, terrified at what William could or might do. "He's my brother…" He finished in a whisper, his voice cracking as he slid down to the floor.
