"The Ghostly Apprentice"
Alice was once a human with a little talent for magic. When she was discovered, she became the 'apprentice' of a mad wizard — the one who summoned Jibblinplip. Unfortunately, instead of fostering her talent, the wizard made her just a little more than a janitor and ingredient fletcher.
If she happened to be in another guild, then that guild would be impenetrable for sure –– maybe unless the intruders used artillery or weapons that dealt physical destruction.
But anyway, ignoring Alice's lack of awareness that she was dead and her hyperactive character, she was considered a great addition to the team. Or, at least, until she went her way.
Ren suddenly had a thought that caused his face to be ashen . . . was she stuck with them forever?
