We had been riding for a few hours before it started to get dark, "let's set camp here." Jonna responded, "while that would be a good idea, we don't have any gear for sleeping and neither of us are any good at earth magic."
I shook my head and put my hand out "every adventurer should have equipment for sleeping outside." After I said this black smoke drifted from my palm.
"what are you doing?" Leia questioned, the next moment two sleeping bags materialised. Both Jonna and Leia were shocked, "wow." Jonna patted my shoulder. "you thought ahead and got some sleeping bags, you're sure resourceful." I thought back to Paul of whom I had "borrowed" the sleeping bags from. "yup haha…"
Leia still looking dumbfounded asked "how did you do that? It doesn't look like you have any dimensional storage rings." Leia gasped. "Do you have a personal magic?" Confused, I asked, "what's personal magic?" Jonna spoke, "personal magic is special magic that almost everyone has that is unique to each person, but certain conditions must be met before you find out what it is." He continued, "Leia and I haven't "unlocked" our personal magic yet, but I heard dimensional magic is quite rare." I asked, "what are the conditions to unlock your personal magic?" He shrugged "it's different for everyone but when you're close you just feel it apparently."
I thought about it for awhile, 'maybe this void is my personal magic. What is the voice then?' The longer I thought about it, the more I got a headache. 'Well, no use thinking about ifs and buts, I'm gonna sleep' I build myself a small shelter under a tree out of leaves and twigs.
After we woke up, we had a small meal then set out again. Jonna pulled back to where I was. "Did you sleep last night? Frankly, you look like shit." I let out a small chuckle. "Yea well, frankly I feel like shit," I remembered the nightmares I had last night.

I was floating in the void again.
'huh? Why am I here? How am I here.'
As I thought that I heard a weak demonic voice.
[…yo…u…can't…es…capee…me…for…ever…]
I looked around violently for the source of the voice but never found it. Eventually, everything started to shake. I knew this meant I was about to get out.
Before I got out I heard a faint.
[…soon…]

I shuddered thinking about it but I focused back on riding. Jonna yelled at Leia "how long till we get there?" She had the map. "about half an hour by my estimate" Jonna and I nodded.
We kept riding until we got to the dungeon where we saw a carriage with some people around it. "What's with the people?" I asked to which Jonna responded. "Are those people from the Flakkarar church?" I asked Jonna. "Flakkarar church? Who are they?" Jonna looked at me. "Man, you don't know about the Flakkarar church? They're one of the biggest churches, they follow Leitarmaður God of the ostracized. The church is full of, well the ostracized."
Leia added. "Flakkarar translates to wanders actually, which makes sense because-" I cut her off. "The ostracized have no place to go so they wander." She looked kinda annoyed I cut her off but didn't say anything.
I asked Jonna. "Why would they be here though?" Jonna replied. "It's because not only do they take in ostracized people but even monsters. Vampires for example." I nodded. 'So. They're here to possibly recruit them?'
We walked towards the people, there were two men and one woman. They noticed our approach and turned towards us.
