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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgiv2HKVDI
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNJWAyMCOW
Devion coughed and looked over to the tiefling woman. "What?" his face twisted with an eyebrow cocked.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHtf92vRgm
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6TYbW9BDH
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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0heFpvxkpH
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ266JR9yEzr
"Jem!" the others in the party gasped with Amber racing over.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKpnOalZCd
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf0t9j5iew
"Jem, put him down! We can't lose them as allies against your sister, remember?" the pale gold dragon ordered.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJAyp5ob1a
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9m81zwWs6
"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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN93U0J7Rx
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofVeV9pHmL
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?"579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwae6Aq28I8
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL2NuwP3bG
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."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFXQzgyyGQ
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLZ9aSzCPF
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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw1jkZbpnw
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwryR8C4Ijg
"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."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKKK6rBVar
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLlQV2e3UH
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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHXyYn9Mo3
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3nlMRc6Aq
"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."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZeK20NY95
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2H0TzRlB6
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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLMGcqWdcw
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ujdPk8o5o
"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?"579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwBzLgfCS4
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpzu4fx0D0
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."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJfZufKF8a
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmHpCx8jTs
"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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5agveqjqS
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyLsfq87eQ
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."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAawm9B1JFi
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gVMHKgcM9
"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!"579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQVt4PR73R
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEApA3BR2q
"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!"579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyXlZU4YxP
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffbZPUVhW7
"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!"579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ61wrMUC66
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rklRV0BwK
"And what will you do, druid? Wrap me in plants?" Devion snapped, glaring at Rose.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRGsoN45mw
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsivU0e0bru
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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaHEO5JqGG
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDimCHcHUN
"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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qT1GjVPC3
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyUUXTY35g
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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1LNmVo7MM
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDawaCbdBc2
"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."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70DlMTux2l
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4EeYXmgOA
Quickly Devion nodded. "Promise!"579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacj661yCYD
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO6Ax0n6OB
"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?"579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWSa8e4Zc5
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkScdNXotPW
"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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeJImJglG9
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPuCyVp6mE
"Here you go."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDYGB8Clpb
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x348QgiV0
"Thank you." Fae took the fabric and wrapped the mirror before slipping it away into her bag.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt0hQKPmIr
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjtTLqfyVo
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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWYBLpSQT5
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8BIJoQ2Nh
"Shouldn't one of us go with the little brother to ensure he gets home safe?" Rose looked to her pack.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG11I8JdfAu
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEsVfHDIJK
"I'm sure he could get home fine on his own. He does live here after all." Faerthurin stated in her calm tone.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdx52eCWrH
579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkc3R3yy1L
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.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFST2GJDuS2
