(This song is catchy and has been stuck in my head. I also enjoy the story woven by Josh in the Brony DnD posted on Dr Wolf's channel. My mind wove the two together for a non-canon scene that I wanted to draw out but at current my time is occupied by a couple or so things, and I need to work on practicing pony's/wolves/beasts in general as they are not my strong suit nor is drawing things in full with all proper proportions, this is my attempt to write out what has been playing as a moving scene in my head to the song)680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsTJPtqkU8

Our heroes arrived on a new land after a slight mis-course. They had taken their leave from the fire elves and everything seemed fine until a thick fog rolled in, causing them to get turned around somehow. The daylight was soft as they made their way across this new island of untold possible aid and danger. So far they hadn't found much help against Simula here, except for a tribe of forest gnomes that had previously tried to take down Amber as they had thought she was something like a reptilian deer in humanoid form.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe1SD15UvW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyfge69BfD
"It was this way they had said we could find the dragon's, right?" Jalerom questioned with the map they had gotten from the gnomes in front of him. He pushed back some of his hair that blew into his eyes before looking up to Kross and Amber that were in the lead.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dSpvlxo0S
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRbGryiGt8
Faerthurin took a breath and folded her arms. "I'm sure we didn't miss anything, overly cautious rogue." She flatly commented before looking over to Lucid on her shoulder, reaching up and gave his feathered head a pet. "This may be a stupid question Jalerom but has anyone told you that you worry too much?" she lightly chuckled as did the raven at this question.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QLCZjmbv8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlNs3QGGYh
"Well I'm sorry that I believe so strongly that it's better to be safe than sorry." Jalerom retorted quickly with a head turn to see her smirking.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQVjtea47V
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumLUMvpTGa
Faerthurin lightly shook her head as Jalerom looked back to the map. She gently held an offered hand to Lucid. "Lucid, please fly ahead and see how much farther it is to the town of Thason." She requested and the raven gave a caw, hopping on her hand then taking flight as he took off ahead of the party.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHGGKcwAIs
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP1QlW7cWL
"So, what other creatures do you think are going to maybe be there? That we might be able to recruit that is?" Kross asked after some moments of silence and looked to Amber at his side as she spoke up first. The golden viper called Jaylen lifted her cobra head with a hissing yawn, hanging relaxedly around Kross's neck and gave a small nod before looking to her master. He gently stroked her scales and she laid her head back down, happy for the attention.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOwjiU5nf9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWDGUyWawD
"Well there should be dragons obviously and other reptilian type creatures based on what the gnomes told us. There could also be some humans!" she had excitement in her voice with the ending sentence.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzX3EDcNyW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZrROa7Z4u
Kross chuckled at Amber's jovial tone before looking back as another voice spoke up. "Just don't let your guards down too much. We still don't know how welcoming these creatures are going to be." Jeminya stated from her Pegasus mount Starjay. "We may have done well to not be killed by the fire elves and we prevented Amber from becoming a meal for the gnomes, but we don't know what else these new creatures are going to be like."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaYbavuP7P
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ8Fl93h27
"You could adapt my behavior towards humanoids and not trust them." Rose commented from where she rode on the back of her giant wolf known as Shiloh.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl09NhSx8i3
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYDrQ6bvMW
"But you trusted us enough from the beginning." Amber stated as she turned her attention to Rose.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hOCbeDXiU
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1VasutAPU
"That was because it was necessary. Meeting these creatures, unless we are trying to recruit more allies, aren't really necessary."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzM8RWiK4O
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5k6tcfjnM
Ivan jogged up to walk in line with Rose after walking beside Oin. "I'm sure if we just show them we mean no harm like we have been doing then I'm sure everything will work out just fine." He chipperly said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMdNiThb4N
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQapk0l6wv
Oin sighed and folded his arms, looking over their unique group. "I would like to hope if we do manage to find these yellow dragons and meet with their leader, if he or she says no," he turned his dwarfen gaze on Jeminya, "that we can continue to not have a repeat of unwarranted violence like what happened back in Optimarr."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHSdxjebtF
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZnXhpZgnm
Jeminya huffed, folding her arms as she turned her tiefling gaze on Oin. "One time, I lost my temper one time on a leader and you won't stop bringing it up."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq6d8hi8NC
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX457U0WJ7k
"I also recall you having an attitude towards other leaders, yet those others were very forgiving of that young pup behavior that comes out when things aren't going exactly your way." Oin sternly stated, locking eyes with the red horned woman.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOj0nt8pca
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaKfN44KGq
Ivan moved back in-between the dwarf and tiefling as the rest of the party had come to a stop. "Yes, that is true but she's grown a lot since then and learned how to be more queenly."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk8x495raM
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Y5igYACX
"I was just stating a fact and my hope for the future since I do not enjoy being wanted by royalty." Oin firmly explained before continuing onwards to catch up with the rest of their group which had halted to watch. "Shall we continue?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon2qmxeo6l
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKJmi85uHY
"Yes, if your old bones can keep up that is." Jeminya stated lightly before pushing some of her dark hair back behind her shoulder, giving her steed the order to jog forwards. Ivan smiled and quickly broke into a jog to keep up before returning to a walk.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVVcDy7G50
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ64b3czKb9
Quietness settled over the party once more for a minute or so before Rose spoke up, turning her attention to Jeminya. "Tell me, can your sister's magic reach this far across the ocean?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2edWVM1J8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnpobsrWsI
Jeminya sighed with a shake of her head. "I have no idea. There's a chance Simula's magic can reach us but there is also a chance it cannot...but I wouldn't put it past her to be able to be scouring us right now."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDw5cF1SSI
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAOJeopgNl
"Of course she would." Kross muttered under his breath. "She's always got to be two steps ahead in the game."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgAHx1MSUm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQwQUq6woj
"But we'll change that. We'll learn how to be two steps ahead of her." Jalerom added quietly from behind the saurian shifter ranger.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxqisYNlFp
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsH0PPcGMx
Shortly after that, Lucid returned and landed on the offered hand of his master. "Yes Lucid?" he adjusted his wings and his footing as he explained to her in their shared mental link. "Thank you." She looked to the group as the bird flapped and landed on her shoulder. "He said we should reach it by this afternoon and to be weary because of the the um...unique goods the merchant's in the square have for sale."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XGisbiGqg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SNudK4f9M
"Unique how?" Kross asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked over his shoulder to the dark elf sorceress.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZczL4kriEE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6dTLgieF7
"Unique in that we may want to avoid being arrested or somehow captured." Faerthurin stated in her blunt tone.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEdOc0sWFt
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn26YRwKZ46
There was silence until Jeminya spoke up quietly. "I'm going to take a guess at this, slave market?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yjlL9Kmlm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiHD7TiIyY
Faerthurin nodded. "Yes with different races that aren't humans."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalMOcXQj0f
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNKhckeTGy
"So anyone would be money for them if we get arrested, aside from maybe Ivan and Rose." Jalerom said after he looked up from the map, turning to see Faerthurin give another nod.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE0f9Ccocc
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrnDG5vD01
"Pretty much."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMSK9MVCzD
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTm2d2eYgc
"Then perhaps we should figure out who we will be aiming to speak to directly so we aren't tempting our luck." Oin suggested and received an unanimous agreement from the party.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3qRZEIamh
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yodFc3OZV
"Well we want to speak to the leader of the yellow dragons. Maybe we should just aim for the largest building that fits the appearance for royalty?" Amber suggested as the group came to a stop.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWosXR1PdrL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBANxaXrsi
"Maybe should the royalty here live in a castle, palace or mansion. Does anyone know what dragon leadership lives inside of?" Jalerom questioned.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ySfZ9OLe
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWfkrpEM1c
"What else would nobility with money live in?" Kross countered.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFq6AeF80g
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL4GoFT8mb
"Wouldn't some dragons find caves fitting or a structure made of stone for security for their hoarded goods?" Rose asked curiously.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqzcRAVNVN
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpOLNmUEpx
Amber huffed annoyed. "Hey I'm offended by that! You know Amarta and me are both dragons and we don't live in caves or such dwellings."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGYkjxjaen
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEcetZ6Kys
"That is why I said some dragons, not all."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyjguHEGmr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh01S8P6eE3
"We will probably need to be diplomatic with whoever we choose, if necessary, when asking for the location of the leadership if we cannot find any guards." Faerthurin looked to Ivan.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRRRG31Pe
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5VzXx7o1U
Ivan smiled with a hand patting his chest. "Leave it to me! I can reason with anyone easily."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIzMeDZ50f
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtH2NbDJZi
"Well then, we won't dally and will see if we can meet with the nobility as soon as possible so we don't run the risk of becoming a profit in some merchant's pocketbook." Jeminya stated and the rest nodded.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjDxofaWGa
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhylMbk8YDW
The party resumed walking in the direction of the town. They arrived in the busy settlement that had guards patrolling the streets. "Well this town seems normal enough." Ivan commented before moving over to a guard that was chatting to a humanoid hooded lizard.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZWo9bNMPG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEggyEs7Zcr
"Looks can be deceiving." Rose muttered quietly as she started looking around. "I know from personal experience."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s7rT7ebbU
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkktQeKujD
"Hello sir, how are you today?" Ivan nicely asked the guard.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsWbcJhIVP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxHfSZ0MxM
The woman gave the guard his drink and went back inside. He took a sip and looked to Ivan. "You are way too chipper." He gruffly stated in a flat tone.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrtfFbvIwH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpa62bQnXO
"Oh thank you! So I was wondering if you could dire-"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaetGVf9cI
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6rVOKnycG
"Talk to me later. I'm on break and don't feel like handling chipper musicians or merry party's when I'm not required to." He rudely interrupted before taking another drink from his mug, bags looking to be under his eyes.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKu9w9VPNe
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo1OM4QyD8
Jalerom moved up and pulled Ivan back. "Sorry to interrupt."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Lrqbun8s
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeTEkxvTpC
"Maybe it would be best we just look around first." Jaminya said as the pair rejoined. The group agreed and they proceeded forwards. They passed by a few homes, a jeweler shop and a potions shop before coming into the town's square with an unknown follower behind them. It was in the square they would see different small stands set up, with four sellers that had some cages set up with creatures inside and a couple having them outside of cages in chains.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Tz5uMaPk
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVfq7cKIej
Amber moved closer to Ivan who gently took her hand into his as she had her arms wrapped around his. "Should we try asking another guard?" she quietly asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLGNtR2c1Z
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tal6z9oSM
"I could always give it another shot." Ivan suggested.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpqsx2AnRn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxc3FzxKZN
"I think the sooner we find them and go the better." Rose lowly stated as Faerthurin nodded, neither enjoying some of the eyes on their group.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c8abygfnU
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFglrMed56x
They continued before stopping upon hearing a female's voice break out of the business chatter. "Hello new faces~" was called sweetly out by a lovely young woman with some snake scales on her flesh. The party looked to one another before Ivan began to approach the woman sitting behind a stall attached to a tent. Kross approached with Ivan, taking in the sight of the fine clothing she had hanging and folded, along with spools of thread and a few simple bracelets. "What brings a handsome lot like yourselves all the way here?" she sniffed the air, a surprised look coming to her face. "And across the sea no less. Interesting."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaAnmZyoTI
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpenwCHtBRX
"Hello to you as well ma'am. You have many fine wears here." Kross said politely which brought her to smile.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4r53k4Lx3
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xcKwiDOzD
"Oh we're here on business and could use help finding someone."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OdUTgeVUf
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbzzbdm81j
"Finding someone is what a vendor is for." She cooed happily. "Who do you seek?" she turned her eyes to Kross with a devilish smirk pulling at her lips. "You have good eyes, saurian and also," her gaze returned to Ivan, "my information is not free."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr9FwBsgrD
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2vzSkeFf3
Kross eyed her with unease as he took a small step back. "What will information, should you have it, cost to get it?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdUixZNO9P
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfa3ICHJE0
She gave a quiet chuckle, resting her elbow on the stand as she leaned forwards and placed her chin gently on her curled fingers, her eyes closing. "Not too much," her eyes opened to gaze upon Kross, "just you, my dear saurian shifter."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT45btLPtbn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyPtC02QCr
Kross frowned at this. "Sorry but I'm not for sale."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisa0euARNA
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMyi4pkGdt
"Ma'am," Ivan pipped in. "I'm sorry but we don't sell our friends so maybe there is a gold amount you would like instead?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuflY0yLFtm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmH15coqaH
She looked to Ivan. "Gold is nice and I get that from sales but certain products cost money to obtain to make." She sat upright and sighed. "And I don't feel like passing up on free material but...if you want I'll give you his body back once I've removed what I want." She began to run her fingers through her hair casually, seemingly not noticing the looks of shock and disgust at her statement. "I mean...he might still be breathing despite the loss of blood."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ8Qx0vT6K
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavmIElYqIE
"What is wrong with you?!" Faerthurin exclaimed. "How can you talk like that so casually?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cqiT7we4c
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBhAe18UNq
"Because it's what I do, it's what I live for darling elf." She sat back in her seat. "I heard you want to get out of town as soon as possible so maybe to get your answers, hand over the reptile man so I can have more material to melt down and form into thread to make more clothing."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMVchlTOg8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnio7Kug2r
"Well isn't she a charmer?" Jeminya asked sarcastically.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVvYcfJum9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP8SeaT7zl
The snake woman turned her attention to Jeminya, narrowing her eyes into slits. "I could create strong bands for my bracelets from your horns and fangs, beast. Best to keep that pretty mouth shut before I raise my price."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjok1VHb4RH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEGNGulojm
Kross put his hand on his blade, ready to draw it. "You want to try threatening her again, snake?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbydfGr1kQY
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYcJ8dxziM
She turned her gaze sternly to the ranger. "How about I get some more interested that won't be so nice as me?" she hissed threateningly.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYOlBxz9yg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozH3bsgiMv
"I'd like to see you try." Kross dared.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5wHmXJWP9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUJQxYtgkg
"Kross!" Faerthurin snapped.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8T6Li1Ocs
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbyvhevK3N
"Don't dare her, please?" Jalerom finished quickly after Faerthurin.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wyPWiOPZ8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhheCccV2z
The woman stood up and opened her mouth, took a breath yet before she could shout her thoughts, clapping came from behind the group. They turned to look and watched a good looking man dressed in a simple shirt, pants, brown boots, a scarf tied around his neck, and a dust gray-yellow trench coat. "Bravo Crystal, bravo. You are such a great actress and are looking fabulous today."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuhbqIoHcb
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5CnGa30fW
"What do you want Klarian? I'm busy." She hissed irritatedly.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkhxeKiKUY
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oYuULGLs3
Klarian came up to and leaned on the stand. "Can't we just talk? I mean, you are always so busy that I never get to see you."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dO3Hjbp1D
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZGWboJ7lh
"Get to the point so I might have me two or three new pieces to process." She growled.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchcpZFC7jz
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBR79Pz3Dq
"Only in your dreams." Kross muttered tensely, ignoring the glare to 'can it' that Oin was giving him.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevibWvjBzr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJuWuZwQPn
Klarian sighed as he got closer and wrapped an arm around Crystal, pulling her in close. "Aren't you curious to how a group so mixed aren't killing each other, especially with a demon with them?" he whispered. Crystal looked the party over as Jeminya frowned to being called a 'demon' so bluntly. Klarian swiftly slipped a folded dress inside his coat just before Crystal returned her gaze to him, giving a nod.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0FUj2r1Yr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjFWkwabB4
"What's your theory for their lack of brutality to one another?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZxgV6hYT2
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLzfa66BhQ
He motioned to the druid on her wolf. "She seems to be very powerful. Who knows, maybe using any part of them could taint your products." Crystal frowned, a little glint of fear starting to come to her eyes. "You'd be potentially giving outsiders the power to do what one person wants." He whispered slyly. "And think of how that would hurt your sales and bargaining ability for supplies." She held in a growl before slightly gasping as he turned and left her to bow before Rose. "Oh dear master, tell me what you want and I shall obey."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrE47TZgX1
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuJvDW1zZg
"You-you traitor! Get them away from my stand!" Crystal snapped while backing up. "I don't need to get enchanted by some hex woman!"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAwTW4n6p0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKcHW7RolR
"Hey I'm not-" Rose was cut off as Crystal went inside along with a few other merchants who had overheard. She looked to Klarian confused.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2f8PL11S8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjBg3elRU9
"Did you use tame animals on him or something, Rose?" Amber curiously asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpexIwYhmWq
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNpqQJIG6o
Rose shook her head. "Not that I remember." She answered then turned her attention to him. "What's going on with you? Klarian was what she called you, right?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWV0GFpG7D
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRJurJkwfO
Klarian stood up out of the bow, smirking. "I had to give a reason to save your skins."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F8dpNwiqS
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEZ0DLrKKd
Oin stepped forward. "Thank you for that. Now we will be on our way if you do not require anything for payment."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeJqdYCLSJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLoHJkR06V
The group regathered and began to continue on. "You're looking for the leader of the yellow dragons, are you not?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkro2lBSYdq
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Iagmmp7Q
This caused the group to stop. "What if we are?" Jalerom asked as he looked to Klarian, who was now nearing them.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTGRUJlCqZ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7YvnCVr35
"Because you are looking for them and I just so happen to know where they are."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9g2jYpgVm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr5FoJcHes
"How convenient." Kross commented suspiciously while folding his arms.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklnnfm8FZj
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqJS8fB8QD
"Yes, very." Oin added dryly. "What would you require in payment?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpXl7s4Got
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmeLEgS69Y
Klarian put his hands into his pockets, shrugging. "Just some company is all for a little time. I'll even offer you free lodging and take you to the nobility by the morning lights break."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wwjDcCz98
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pMsupgInA
"...group chat." Kross said and the party huddled up with Jeminya dismounting. "I don't trust this guy."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUniel9qYQ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgHBaY4Ylb
"Neither do I but he did sort of keep that woman from making us the days sale." Jeminya softly commented.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk47zJSd5N
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkqPSKdLtk
"He may look untrustworthy but I bet he is honest on the inside." Ivan chimed in.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISkSJxL1FP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm03XSBWFq
"He's wearing a trench coat. I don't know about you but often times when someone's wearing a trench coat, they aren't the good guy." Jalerom stated.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBM1FUVwrv
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiSYjUHlBE
"Except in that one show but he was more the rival hero." Kross added.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpL5xWvczg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIu5Cr0lAf
"Besides that, the point is I don't think we can trust him. I trust him less than I do Jaylen." Jalerom said quietly.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLhqLs80Fd
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCutf53IBfL
"Hey, she hasn't hurt anyone outside of freaking Rin out." Kross said as the golden viper hissed displeased by the rouge's distrust of her.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQoVRH1TCf
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuZrNNSZVu
Faerthurin looked towards the waiting Klarian. "I don't pick up that he's lying but I'm not sure he wouldn't not betray us either if we do trust him." She stated before looking back to her group members. Klarian took this chance to step his way closer.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYj4b9O6O5
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy63vkJc56
"Sure he might sell us or worse but he also might not do that either. Isn't it worth the chance to locate the leadership with someone who prevented a fight from breaking out?" Ivan reasoned.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuFf1RiN5U
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRMCM4QsOi
"You know what," Klarian butted in, resting an arm on Ivan's shoulder while he flashed a grin. "Little bardy boy here is right. And if I," he stood up and placed a hand on his chest, "do say so myself..." he took a step back. "This town is not a nice place for little party's all alone."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJds8NUJeP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt5m6xTO1R
Kross watched suspiciously. "We've noticed."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG0HjB6k2y
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAttuTNR4
Klarian ignored the comment. "There are lots of twists and corners that could lead to the unknown~." He sang while motioning around them to all the side streets and alleyways. He approached swiftly and placed a hand on Faerthurin's upper arm. "Let me guide your way," she shrugged him off as Lucid tried to peck his hand but he removed it as he moved on. "And I'll be sure to help you through." He sang as he looked to Jeminya then Oin, Ivan, Rose, Jalerom, Amber and Kross while moving towards one of the side streets. "You could really use a friend out here and luckily for you..." as he sang he kicked a wall, causing hanging lanterns to ignite and light the way.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpHPvT5n1c
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKoBcf9DTQ
Oin looked around curiously. "Does anyone else hear music?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSr4TzOSoL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEGgDScp0l
"I'll check for magic." Faerthurin stated and tried to cast her spell, sensing magic but the details kept escaping her as her mind kept wanting to listen to Klarian's song.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjKhH1CUHi
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNHYI5GimA
"I'm the friend that you need, when you're lost and don't know what to do." He motioned them forwards as his body moved almost as if he was dancing some to the catchy music. "I'm your pal, your amigo, useful and resourceful too!" he moved down another alley as the guard standing there moved aside. "And my help, you'll concede is a plus guaranteed~" the party followed, some impressed and others not at how he seemed to have influence over at least one guard.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwxwFje4jz
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ11s8Zn27y
"You can call and I'll come running, just follow my lead." Klarian smiled charmingly. "'Cause I'm the friend you need!"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDpWhK7LhZ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZqn6uAxO
"He's a friend, quite a friend." A woman sweeping her balcony off chimed in, causing the group to look over then to another person who spoke up.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC28Alcnkcy
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNbC2yZBRI
"He's a friend indeed." A man finished as he left his home.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3N6q2ufWK
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvxk93UqqV
Oin frowned yet continued to follow them. "I'm not liking this one bit." He quietly commented.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh8gi4IjLH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbD80Lx4h7
"I know, must be using the same kind of magic as the Nighttwist used on us before." Kross added as he also had noticed how into the song Rose, Lucid and Shiloh was. He also noted how Faerthurin, Ivan, Amber and Jem with Starjay were enjoying it but didn't seem as taken in as the others.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNOS4lLfMZ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2RIBe60ZT
"Best we can do is protect them." Jalerom stated and the other two nodded.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblonYwI60Q
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTyMLWCPNV
"You need a bud to spot the danger," he stopped them with his arms out, keeping them out of sight of three differently dressed guards passing by. He continued with them, turning as he grabbed a rock and threw it at a window. "A pal to stop the creep. A chum and not a stranger to assist." The window slammed shut on someone's hand that had been reaching out to try grabbing Rose's hair. Shiloh picked up the pace as farther ahead, Klarian pushed in a brick. "You need a bro who is cunning that can help you take the leap!" the group coughed and looked to see him enter the dimly lit passageway. "A friend who knows what's lying in the mist."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUD3PFfSc8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vsMCB46rP
They followed and it soon opened up to another part of the town. He looked up to spot Amber moving down a different way. "Don't fear these darkened alleys, they're scary yes I know." He sang soothingly as she came up behind her to see her frozen in fear of several decent sized bugs. "Why you could use a friend," he placed one arm around her as a fire spell lit in his other palm. "To protect you wherever you go." He used the spell, taking out the bugs as they lunged to attack them.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lRxx3s1SL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowhJrk19m9
"Thanks," Amber sighed heavily and he nodded, reuniting with the others as he approached Faerthurin. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0utZQhVdo
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAHkG5p2Ko
"And such a dazzling beauty~" he motioned to her as he gave a gentlemanly bow. "Covered in dirt and muck." Distaste entered his fallen tone on the last word. "But now your fate is changing," he pulled the new and lovely yet simple dress out, showing her as her eyes widened. "Now you are in luck 'cause I'm the friend that you need," he gave her the dress and turned, leading the way to a more open area. "When you're lost and don't know what to do. I'm your pal, your amigo, looking out for friends like you!"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbJ1NAdZfB
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBzhjIkGOM
He smiled charmingly as they neared his home. "And my help, you'll concede is a plus guaranteed." He unlocked and opened the door for them as the doorman slept in his chair. "Just call and I'll come running, we'll say that's agreed..." once all were in, he moved to the doorman and slipped him a few coins. "Here, tell Devion the training grounds, by dawn. I have something that will magically free my collateral." Klarian whispered and the doorman gave a nod before closing his eyes again. Starjay stayed out with the doorman before flying up and landing carefully, getting comfortable on the flat roof.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFBV7hVga9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5onmb9c2VJ
Inside the lower floor of the two story home. "Doesn't anyone find it odd he didn't follow us in right away?" Oin questioned only to get a few nods as the others ignored him.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwAfPnmuDb
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac3hUSmRPv
"He's probably tipping the doorman. Don't be so suspicious, Oin." Ivan said in his normal positive tone.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7DmBq2Vr3
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeaCqhOqEw
Klarian entered quickly singing out the last of his lines as the music was nearing an end. "'Cause I'm the friend you neeeed!~"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7PCtprE9H
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqXnKk6HWl
"He's a friend," Ivan, Faerthurin, Rose, Jeminya, Amber sang with Lucid cawing and Shiloh giving a bark.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJgsBcYqPx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfXoX378Rq
"Quite a friend!" Amber quickly said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCDcEAFVoI
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBovPyHf0xM
"He's a friend indeed!" they finished as the music died away while they followed him up to his quarters as the lower half was more of a nightly bar, which gave him income while the entire upstairs with the rooms was his to use as he wished.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tpTfyqG3r
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyZOkvp4i3
They reached the top and he opened the door to a large room which was his, filled with some lovely crystals setting just so, allowing the sunlight to dance through them and cast a colorful light on the surface below them. "Welcome to my humble abode." He smoothly said as they entered.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg7YaR3S8r
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQeHQQN7ui
"Oh wow...so many shiny things..." Amber said softly as she looked at the crystals hanging and sitting around with widening eyes.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eqeobg7AL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlbPPc82oH
Faerthurin blinked and looked around confused. "Um...how did I get here?" she looked down at the dress. "And where did I get this dress from?" she asked with her mind feeling foggy in spots.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21dQRUZQA0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RXwfDYrWA
"It was given to you by Klarian. We," Oin motioned to himself, Jalerom and Kross, "think he used a charm spell, something like the Nighttwist. Also he got that dress likely from the vendor who wanted Kross."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Hn7czmnq
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU9d1tmzDK
Her face fell and twisted with disgust at the thought of what made the thread used for the material. "What is this made of?" she uneasily inquired.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJx5TDFSr4
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5x0wB6EBe
"Don't worry, it's not saurian or dragon or anything else of the sort." Klarian spoke calmly in a matter-of-fact way while he walked over and flopped on his sofa. "It's made of plants. She sells clothing and accessories made from creatures but she also makes less expensive items from plant fiber."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCeVmGNeZF
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SN3ejzExv
"It looks well made for someone who sells it cheep." Faerthurin commented.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL61UnA0NAV
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthxr4NtoBw
"She wouldn't be caught dead selling anything that was low quality, no matter what it's made from." Klarian pointed out as the others came around that had been under his charm spell. He pushed some short orange hair back that had come loose from his ponytail out of his sky blue eyes.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ7IZ60097
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFICc5JWCR
"So why did you help us and lead us here? You have to have a motive." Oin flatly stated in his stern tone while watching the man.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztaj3nmnu6
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzJN9NhfMR
"I already told you my motive." He groaned with a roll of his eyes. "I wanted some company for a little while and I said I would take you to meet the leadership by the morning's light, as their abode isn't too far from mine." Klarian said innocently as he looked to Oin. "Don't you trust a kind stranger?" Oin didn't answer this, only folded his arms and stared Klarian down who shivered before diverting his eyes away from the dwarf.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3jfUkOYpQ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI12ejgssiE
Faerthurin looked the place over, taking in what he had before looking Klarian over while mentally going through what she had researched. Kross looked over to the elf sorceress and made his way over, carrying a unique clock in his hands he had picked up. "Something on your mind?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmrFueoeqH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoQt0iyzWX
"He's obviously a dragon, possibly part of the race we're looking for as they tend to be more drawn to crystals and stained glass...but I don't recall any information on them being able to use charm spells like what he used." She quietly answered with her sights staying on the relaxing man.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iNQFq2NPD
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3FQuUI1Iq
"Could he be a half-breed?" Kross questioned.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cm4NqU6Fe
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO1VNYKl3y
"Maybe, I know succubus, incubus and other creatures can use charm magic like that."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vFor4t22V
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILxKNyPlb9
Klarian inhaled deeply with his head leaned back, eyes closed as he exhaled. "I can hear you two so just ask~" he calmly sang before lifting his head and opening his eyes, motioning for the pair to come over. "I'm not gonna bite because you ask me anything."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuYaylFrfG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnnO9ZNZiT
"Then what are you?" Faerthurin bluntly asked as she kept her distance, having folded up the dress and stored it in her pack.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cM7C0AUJU
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56P54TIeZJ
Klarian rubbed his chin in thought. "Well I'm not really a half-breed as I'm not equally half and half." He began with a slight slyness to his tone. "I could be mostly one thing and a third another."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRfNmqoBg8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyxIO16EXl
Kross thought some. "Hmm it seems he may not be what he seems so we should probably just leave." He shrugged, "I mean, we have been here a while after all and all he wanted was company for a bit." He stretched and sighed with his tone being casual. "All he did was get lucky with that weak spell of his." He turned on his heel, making his way towards the door. "It wasn't nearly as strong as that tree a time back."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Wnhk8i3g
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qeqDgxPEE
Klarian's jaw fell for a moment before he quickly closed it and stood. "I'll have you know that I may be a third incubus but I am dang good with my charm spells!" he huffed, snorting a couple small sparks as his hands clinched snugly into fists. "You can't even cast magic as an archer." He pointed at Kross with his eyes set on the archer. "I bet you haven't even studied magic."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxV5unnVoy
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeKUZvoXBC
Kross turned giving a small bow while sliding the clock back in its place, smirking. "And that, is how you get an answer on race."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB5CCnzAet
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WPjMbT4N3
Faerthurin smirked. "Clever ranger, very clever." She said pleased and a bit impressed.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyAGV5OELT
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3vJbpHVTj
During this Oin had been inspecting a desk area but didn't find much of interest, Rose had found an interesting book on dragons titled 'The Beginner's Introduction to Dragon Culture' and had flipped through it. She had looked up during the conversation between the trio and noticed the sparks. Jalerom had found and was looking over a picture after having put down scribbled notes involving money. "Hmm..." Ivan came over with Amber who was resisting to claim one of the collected treasures for a souvenir.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEVpKFjWI3
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUR9VixD5G
"What you looking at?" Ivan looked at the picture of two males, looking like brothers. "Oh they look similar. Where do you think the younger brother is?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s5oWWSsO7
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxqGPbYinP
"No idea." Jalerom looked over to Klarian. "Hey, do you have a little brother?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudktR2VbAG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGMFwjNast
The man got up and made his way over upon seeing the rogue with the picture frame. "Heh, that's an interesting question to ask someone but as you can see, no siblings here." He reached out and plucked the photograph out of Jalerom's hands. "Pictures are misleading sometimes."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56kbEAdqq9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68VcLJpitA
Ivan, Jalerom and Amber looked to him disbelieving of that statement. "So how come he looks like you? There looks to be a resemblance." Ivan prodded gently. "We all have family so hold old is your brother? You both look happy in that photo."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFTvygxOkA
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegZB0ggamF
Klarian inhaled and sighed as he looked to the picture and nodded. "Yea, we were until I messed up." He set the frame down on the stand it had been on. "He's currently in the guards care because of me not controlling my betting habit and not being able to fork up the coin I owe." He somberly said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h3Otg4mpL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUWCAt02NN
"So they took him to get you to pay your debt? Why haven't you been paying or have you?" Amber asked curiously.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujfiPU2Q85
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLvYawWiIN
"I've...sort of been making payments. I own this place and make some sales but when your alcohol prices go up, more of the money earned has to go to keeping it running and the lights on." He looked to Amber. "I can't raise drink prices too much or people will stop coming and then I'll really be in trouble."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauGHpuT5tK
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAIskDoHTs
"That's not good. How much do you owe?" Jalerom inquired as he looked to the photo. "Maybe we can help? I mean, we do have a talented bard." Ivan nodded proudly.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0nRlcaUiE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqsh2M4Z46
"But wait, you can use song to so why don't you use that to get money? Like singing and see if any patrons would pay you as they do bards?" Amber questioned with that realization.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtqk94Kva4
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNgTwslrlW
Klarian snickered and moved back over to the sofa and sat. "Yea right, like me trying to enchant them is going to get me money. If they resist it then they aren't gonna give up the dough. Besides," he sighed, "I'm roughly..." he rubbed the back of his neck, "a few thousand in debt to the battle grounds owner."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhG83QhsvE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U8tRAw3PR
"I think we've found someone with a worse betting habit than Kross." Faerthurin dryly remarked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwnwpa4wfx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzozDOi81V0
"Hey! I resent that comment." Kross huffed. "I haven't lost any money in any gambling, thank you very much."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1KNL21PwA
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe8KkIDwmB
"Maybe not money but you do bet a lot when you take unneeded risks in battle." Faerthurin countered, locking a glare with Kross.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVDHLqdBMp
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoUiYHT5QN
Oin listened and sighed, making his way over to where Jeminya had sat to observe and take things in. "Your plans after all this?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQSIHsvYsL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA2Ov3IeXI
"Our mission here is to meet with the leadership of the yellow dragons in order to ask for aid in defeating my sister, nothing more. But I also don't feel right about us leaving a family broken like this...even if it is his own fault."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoigu3E1C1Y
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58zjGeguc3
"Hey!" Klarian stood quickly. "I didn't put him up as collateral! I put up my home and the guards decided to take him instead." He snapped, baring a bit of fang as small patches of yellow showed on his hands and peeking up from under his scarf on his neck. "I don't know why they took him but I wouldn't put him up to settle any debt that is my own doing." He growled with his eyes locked with Jeminya's as the room's atmosphere began to tense.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINYmHbTMT0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtmek9aqes
The dwarfen cleric coughed, breaking into the tension. "We do have a time restraint even if we don't know exactly how much is left." Oin said as he pondered this over.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzeFZ5b1r0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkBwNPNuSi
Silence filled the room for a few moments up to a minute before it was broken. "I say we help him. Maybe there's some way we can clear his debt and reunite him with his brother." Kross suggested.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotuchrRRwg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhAHzs9qxJ
Faerthurin placed a hand on her hip as the other motioned in the air. "How do you plan on us doing that? Ivan's good but it would take days if not longer of him preforming at his best to possibly make a dent in this morons more than a thousand gold debt."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68j2HGhDOa
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJTP5FgEj9
Kross shook his head. "No, no he said it was at a battle grounds. Maybe they'll let us show off our skill and if we're good enough, then his brother gets released along with the removal of his debts."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36qXl9Vbwu
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhJn55wiqx
Quietness fell once more as this was considered before Jalerom eventually spoke up. "That would make sense due to people making bets on who would win. We're pretty strong and could at least check it out on how the set up is here." He looked around, "um that is if everyone else agrees to us helping him out."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUIzy2EghX
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvccZl8ubz
"I say we help him out since he helped us out." Ivan stated with a nod.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpOo17NX0q
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ljJKvmav
"I suppose we could help him out, so long as we can get aid in return." Faerthurin said with an exhale.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi2HwS37u9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzH4hF8niV
Amber nodded, "as we aren't going to be arrested and caged again, I'm up to help fight for his brother's freedom."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCeKbmOk9o
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrJ6ga4uzF
Rose had been staying quiet and looked down to Shiloh. "Depending on what we are fighting and how far it is required to go will depend on if I'm in or not on this." She flatly explained with some uncertainty.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZJYzExf1M
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsic0PFFJY
Oin sighed nodding. "I will help as well. It will be good for our skills and it will help someone who could be an alley in the future."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEcVBmjt5D
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NQa0Bh2DD
"Then it seems to be unanimous." Jeminya said as she stood, looking to Klarian. "We will help you with reuniting with your brother."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlJaoZLH9i
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxxS6NTW2r
Klarian stared at them all shocked. "I didn't expect this at all. And you all aren't going to want money back in return?" they shook their heads no. "This...man now I feel bad for-" he stopped himself before completing that sentence.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQlslI7WhP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GfGEdc5hA
"Bad for what?" Jeminya asked strongly as he tried to laugh it off.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN5eHEVf1u
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wuYVN1NHE
Klarian waved a hand through the air to try dismissing it. "Oh nothing, nothing! Just a stray thought!" he gulped as the eyes on him did not look the least bit impressed or swayed. "Uh..." he stood and stretched, giving a yawn. "Man would you look at the time. We should really sleep if we are to wake early and get to the battle grounds to put that plan into motion, night!" quickly he moved to push everyone out of his room so they could go to the four other rooms.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdCBKxRhkt
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lfqXAzMkZ
Once they were out and the door was shut, Jalerom looked back at the door with a straight eye look. "He was planning on selling us out at the battle grounds to the owner wasn't he?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkel42nWk2
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcqVd18MBK
"Yup, likely so." Kross flatly replied.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjE2EAJAv0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORJdwnEgWB
"Of course with our luck." Jalerom sighed. "So...how are we splitting up with rooms?" he moved to look inside one of the four. "This one has four beds in it."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TYrf1xFHH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L7bPZfdeS
Rose got off Shiloh and checked the second. "This one has three."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPWnfCxiwL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3kNRPLw1B
Faerthurin checked the third. "This one has three as well."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRdqIgTUm9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibbGpSlPeV
Jeminya looked in the fourth. "This one has two beds in it."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aCxmUvsqn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6feh45R53r
Discussion took place and the group split up to go to their agreed upon room assignments, hoping for a good rest up before the morning.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZunozfcBpH
