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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxq1ZOE9tS
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWaJto2DnP
Devion coughed and looked over to the tiefling woman. "What?" his face twisted with an eyebrow cocked.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLxTnrr6sj
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ38u9IWxJ9
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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0OkiEr9bK
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD7cl34tC7
"Jem!" the others in the party gasped with Amber racing over.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGNgkV10CM
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0WF0tnRD9
"Jem, put him down! We can't lose them as allies against your sister, remember?" the pale gold dragon ordered.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOnKUOqB1i
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq7g9dQMnY
"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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGntCmPddtY
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lIiGt7OwO
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?"475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5cC43nWif
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm8qiz954A
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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXErOZRE41Q
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrcbx9cfc7
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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uoCKZzt3f
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5XaS4smtM
"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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlAUfScDZI
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC65k38E7Lq
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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbH8Mc3WsK
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcneggg7Qy
"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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU60HARQJkN
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLNNq2DNkb
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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOl3llbvFU
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejJzLPzDCQ
"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?"475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA7cJ7Cn7F
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiaXGTBrhB
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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAqXMaq8QL
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWly1Y5e3U
"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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzYI9fctqx
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNHxhMomK
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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sDHnnYBij
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVKFcz0yef
"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!"475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7z4Vvc9WN
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01XuiqnasK
"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!"475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrSd61L7me
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE6ytw8sOh
"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!"475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfft11RlkA
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJviR5drK
"And what will you do, druid? Wrap me in plants?" Devion snapped, glaring at Rose.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iaGz7qhS3
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0QkSiNGY9
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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfqjAchrom
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy18ED5MHO
"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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcFo2XAD1K
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz77FvTdos
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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kxqqAEuhO
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v1US71eUL
"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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjx4GEivVU
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5nNohXPSa
Quickly Devion nodded. "Promise!"475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlIJyWo3KZ
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMjAqRz8dL
"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?"475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6Y6lPtQh6
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS76zVYiYZC
"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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSH7703n0w
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITWiaTmPgs
"Here you go."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCw5MrAVHK
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgcOdVOq2H
"Thank you." Fae took the fabric and wrapped the mirror before slipping it away into her bag.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN34rVVYr1P
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtLG1li8o0
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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oSROvo6MT
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xIspwLvpG
"Shouldn't one of us go with the little brother to ensure he gets home safe?" Rose looked to her pack.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqBf96emRq
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yJ2kFJQ8i
"I'm sure he could get home fine on his own. He does live here after all." Faerthurin stated in her calm tone.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8tPHGoYj
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1QwJeWBtK
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.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeUja1Upxo
