As the cold air and dust cleared, four mirrors laid on the ground where four people once stood. Jeminya looked to the one near them and picked it up. Staring at her reflection a moment, her gentle fingers around the neck of the looking glass tightened. Her lips curled back in a snarl, displaying her fangs. "How did you do this?" she whispered coarsely.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gvFKDCzKv
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZvACkrO0v
Devion coughed and looked over to the tiefling woman. "What?" his face twisted with an eyebrow cocked.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOPyiknmnJ
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvHyJT5QKd
Jeminya slowly stood and suddenly rushed him, grabbing his throat and lifting him a few centimeters off the ground. "How did you do this?!" she barked with rage, her blue eyes glaring into his.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eavhD3ohF
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxFsJIOZ35
"Jem!" the others in the party gasped with Amber racing over.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeb4vU1fbT
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF5C7xMtbW
"Jem, put him down! We can't lose them as allies against your sister, remember?" the pale gold dragon ordered.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngIq3cV55x
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6FlMFSnYs
"Somehow he turned Kross into a mirror as well as other and I want to know how he did it." Jeminya stiffly replied, her grip tightening and causing Devion to wince and gasp while clawing her hand.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BCtRyVtg6
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZ5j8K3cT
Jalerom stepped up and placed a hand on the red woman's shoulder, giving a firm squeeze. "And do you think strangling him until he dies is going to give you that answer?"563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUZn5w9eFh
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGfzSYjNW0
Jeminya paused a moment before releasing Devion, dropping him to his feet where he stumbled back, regaining his breath. "Now," she narrowed her eyes down on him. "Tell me how to turn him back, along with the others."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7SIJU7sBK
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jME8JntML
Devion gulped and turned his gaze to the mirror that was the handler for the beast. "I can't...do that." He barely got out as the rest of the party joined the discussion.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd06nzyZlS
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29y8fd7p20
"And why not?" Oin chimed up, folding his arms and motioned with his head towards the mirror laying where Klarian had previously stood. "He was promised his brother but now that brother will have no one but an accessory to speak to."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6yG73XRIX
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EKhZ4opJh
Jalerom had released Jeminya's shoulder and took a step closer to Devion. "I think you should tell us what you knew about your pet and exactly what magics were used on him to give him the ability to turn people into mirrors. Because, as I recall, Oin nearly got turned into one during the fight and both Jem and Rose almost did too." Devion opened his mouth to speak but Jalerom continued. "And I don't think you want to anger a Queen, disposed of or not." During the lecture, Shiloh advanced with a whimper from Rose up to Jeminya, nuzzling her hand until she proceeded to pet his head.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzEGLcmnlR
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNuLbyxIGg
"If we didn't need your kinds help I would have punched you in the face by now." Rose growled. "But we need allies, not more enemies." She stepped up and picked up the mirror that once had been Dragof, pocketing it into her bag. "He will be given a proper burial in his current state. At least his suffering has ended...although he had to do it himself."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4tlkkFhLi
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdLWN7DXd2
Ivan looked to the twisted faces and quickly pulled out his lute, starting to strum a soft melody. "I know this isn't good but could we please calm down? I don't want anyone fighting, okay?" the gnome pleaded while he played. The tension remained and one string began to show signs of wear, losing some of its tuned sound from high bit of rough strumming.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnUekYEfcm
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOqjr3qVjm
"I'm sure there's some way to bring them back. I would just need the right books to study and see if I can reverse it, but it would take time." Faerthurin spoke up and held her hand out to Jem. "The mirror, please?" carefully Jeminya handed it over. "Thank you." The elf turned her focus on Devion who had retrieved the dragons mirror that had brought Dragof out. "What's the phrase or spell used to view the soul inside the mirror?"563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ2EqW3xZe
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IBDh5sE1E
The dragon held out the mirror he held so their reflections shown back to them. "Mirror, mirror in my hand, show what's inside if you can." He recited and the four colored gemstones gleamed before the glass followed suit. Soon after the party's reflection was gone and now rested a curled up and sleeping dragon. "It will show who's inside and they will sleep, usually eternally within their mirror confines."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jprPHl8KS
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mnPFX1CGd
"And you were perfectly okay condemning others to this fate?" Faerthurin inquired firmly as Ivan began to strum again, this time the group easing their emotions to a sense of calm.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQVAsfqIZM
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELS6LCzGaz
Devion frowned and lowered the mirror to his side as the glass returned to normal. "It doesn't matter because when someone agrees to a fight, they know they might lose their life."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnPEJ3cveE
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpz0wx1lDR
"But has the barrier ever broken before or been down when the fight is still happening? Or has your former pet ever acted without your command before?" Jalerom sternly questioned. "Because if not then you have no heart or soul if you don't care about any spectators caught in that magical attack!"563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3uvKDEVxk
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Zq10muQb
"Look! This was the first time he's done that without the barrier up!" Devion snapped with a step towards the rogue. "I will not be lectured by some damn half-elf and his groupies just because they see something strange to them that they didn't like!"563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9SuiVRqGY
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt2X6gt9PL
"It wasn't just strange! You defiled nature!" Rose suddenly shouted, her fists clenched tight. "You broke the laws by forcing two creatures into one body just so you could have something to make fight for your entertainment!"563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceCnOaaOEu
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkQmmGLYRZ
"And what will you do, druid? Wrap me in plants?" Devion snapped, glaring at Rose.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Odo8YT6Av
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvfSfLg6na
The druid girl moved her hands forward. "I could do something better. Make you reflect the vile mongrel you are." She explained as a light outline of magic began to trace along her hands.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEgYJxiISy
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6B6HGghYj
"Rose, that's enough." Oin spoke up as he stepped beside her. "There will be none of that." Slowly the outline vanished and she lowered her hands. The dwarf turned his focus to the armored dragon. "You will now release the boy, give him his brother with an explanation as well as the debt dropped, and you will arrange for us to meet with the one in charge of your kind. Is this understood or do I need to repeat myself?" Oin explained calm yet sternly without any rush to his words.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUXcNgjxd0
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS0kxcPD4d
A few of the party gave a shiver along with Devion. "Of-of course! I'll do all that and take you to meet our Queen!" Devion stepped back and started to leave.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIltK4CXOsc
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj2hhEbijm
"You will also tell the boy the truth of how his brother became locked in a mirror. And one more thing," Oin neared Devion. "You will give the boy aid should his funds require it so he does not go hungry, be kicked to the streets or lose the tavern belonging to his family."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiTt0M1il9
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyl4Mrux1O
Quickly Devion nodded. "Promise!"563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSaX87YXlr
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2adqT03VEY
"Good. Now go." Oin turned to the party as Devion bolted away to get things in motion. The dwarf made his way to Faerthurin who was looking into the mirror with its glowing glass which faded. "What do you plan on doing with that?"563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzXTuPrUB9
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1cFp3db3i
"I'm going to study once I have the time. Perhaps I can find a way to reverse it." The elf answered while looking to Jalerom and Jeminya. "Would either of you have a cloth I could use to wrap this? I don't want it to get shattered." Both searched their bags and Jalerom pulled out a cloth.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nLtDilpj
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL3aT3fYoj
"Here you go."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF95psrSPvl
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtKQn9wQ31
"Thank you." Fae took the fabric and wrapped the mirror before slipping it away into her bag.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAADRLoeeUJ
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue5zFJ0zVI
An hour going into two passed before Devion returned with a red eyed, yellow dragon boy following some steps behind him, a mirror held close to the boy's chest. "Are you all ready? She will have time before evening to meet with you." The party began to follow after with Jaylen curled around Rose's arm.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1E4xkQrk
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gis8Zqcn7
"Shouldn't one of us go with the little brother to ensure he gets home safe?" Rose looked to her pack.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7fcCYD8C4
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaVQRAxQTW
"I'm sure he could get home fine on his own. He does live here after all." Faerthurin stated in her calm tone.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFNJLR5v6P
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblZc8uf8fh
Rose looked to the boy who walked off in a different direction than them. "...Alright..." she watched him until he was out of sight and nudged Shiloh forward, easily catching back up with the group.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl27rMIXa7k
