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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTbmcf9hBL
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P3RWxOV06
Devion coughed and looked over to the tiefling woman. "What?" his face twisted with an eyebrow cocked.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZct1hyFUl8
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSFd8hr4Uz
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsQHvE2kRT
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJKmeIwL1p
"Jem!" the others in the party gasped with Amber racing over.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC6vkHJ01q
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFhTUeXar6
"Jem, put him down! We can't lose them as allies against your sister, remember?" the pale gold dragon ordered.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGuMdfSEKl
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIOfHPYq1E
"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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZHV0k8xDY
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4u3ha8c1s
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?"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQo8QCJ0x9
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZdI8COQsp
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."548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPjeONf6uW
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEELKUUkHL8
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnzwZyCKYz
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0USy8ywv5
"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."548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKJNhnKFyR
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNvjeHtLbl
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G0Q3FC1Ns
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc4Z9yHbn3
"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."548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQYg7UTOeY
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRglunFca2
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqckijG3M65
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVao1smLoa3
"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?"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcpVXRVbd4
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8azWEYipwq
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."548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIItZfz5xJp
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf5ZKhHuBe
"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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdUna90Bc
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4H9AxOZig
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."548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUbSCQSPhN
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphzAN5s2ZZ
"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!"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPaHTcAPYh
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqYoPuGPu5
"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!"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr780lbYGn
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSDa6zB5sB
"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!"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoKk5eOaxi
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP8Ke7TEn2
"And what will you do, druid? Wrap me in plants?" Devion snapped, glaring at Rose.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzth1DwMRG
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv4S3K16Km
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79jjwvy21a
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm2JKywJPg
"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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuB8lJeCkI
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5OuAxAgjv
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTimQMtLcH7
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy9aM1JCTQ
"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."548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51vPmgdmWx
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz13vH4kwv
Quickly Devion nodded. "Promise!"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOngxunDGF8
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AuYkRnn5o
"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?"548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtQDvj35aZ
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEhI2AqTZX
"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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI4TrY1rEv
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogQKQf3yGd
"Here you go."548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fxhqg01W2
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Jg5XguqP
"Thank you." Fae took the fabric and wrapped the mirror before slipping it away into her bag.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVyWt2iPag
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmIwVpYnPD
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5whQYYow4
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h1LWcqr5e
"Shouldn't one of us go with the little brother to ensure he gets home safe?" Rose looked to her pack.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLnSNzlhth
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozz9hp4IUd
"I'm sure he could get home fine on his own. He does live here after all." Faerthurin stated in her calm tone.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUX06UTQMR
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp81yYNnbV
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.548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhdB7J2BoQ
