It has
now been many months since the events that took place in his village and has
learned to reign in his justice but only do what he did to the most low life of
people who deserve true divine judgment at this point he was far away from his
former home and now he temporarily resides in this city for the time being to
increase his flow of wealth to allow him to move onto wherever the road takes
him and to the places the calls of justice speak his name now currently not
having a job to complete he headed to the local adventurers guild and tavern to
look for or ask around about any one wanting some thing done for a exchange of a
service for money but as he was in the middle of making his way to his
destination he was grabbed by a group of 4 people and pulled in to a random
building when he realized that these four people aren't normal people they were
adventurers just like he was he then asks why'd you grab me and where are
we? one of the members answered briefly
"well we saw you on the street and found you interesting and were going to need
your help with the pursuit of a strange person so lest get going" hearing this
Xemreron goes along he didn't have anything better to do he follows the group
deeper into the building this place was strange their was a natural misty fog
permeating the room and looked to be an old mirror maze apart of a fun house
for children they now start to get through the mirror maze everything is fine
at first the man their looking for nowhere to be found until the hear a loud
cackling reverberated through the room and they the saw flashes of man flashed
throughout the mirrors so they started to break the mirrors one by one they
eventually destroyed all but the last mirror just as Xemreron swung his sword
to break the final mirror the man jumped out now he seems angry as he bending
down covering his face with his hands and the cackling from before gets much
louder as he says
"AHHHAAAAHHHAAAAA
you foolish mortals we are every we will be come everything" as he rips his
hands off his face as his eyes shine becoming this pure white and his body
translucent as well as shard like but with what could be described as having a liquid
property like mercury and they all prepared
to fight this strange entity the first to act was the entity and it blitzed to
Xemreron in the blink of the eye it was at his location as it's hands turned to
sharp blades and stabbed at him thankfully the hit missed him and he then
retaliated with a swing of his sword doing minor damage to the target next was
the man with the mask who attacked the creature with his bare hands he hits the
creature for several blows do ok damage in the process the then in an instant
with a critical shot to the head creature they says "we are everyone we are
everything and everywhere" then creature seeps into the last mirror
disappearing into thin air and now the group says "what was that about?"
confused Xemreron asks the group of the four adventurers "what even was that
thing?" the member of the four with a bow spoke up and told him "we are just in
the dark as you are the only thing we do know is that it's not just one it only
ever seem to talk and say things like we and that it can connect to mirrors"
but still you did help us without knowing the circumstances so thanks for that
so do any of you think we should take him with us the man with the mask says " I think he is
interesting let's bring him along we've already got him involved with us after
all" well I guess it is settled unless you object to joining our party?
Xemreron immediately says " I'll join you folks on your journey where ever it
may take us comrades" the person the mask says "well I guess we are off and our
destination the capital" the get necessary supplies for the trip and head of to
the capital they take shifts on who drives them to their destination they have
a large cart with two horses it takes them a while about three days for the
group to make it to the capital of the Ranoa kingdom this place was a large
city with many of shops and other business to spend your time at al well as the
pinnacle of this capital was of course the Ranoa castle which was in the far
most back of the kingdom where the most rich and influential members of the capital
city resided while entering the city Xemreron was amazed by this large almost
magical place with all the shop you could want as well as near endless
entertainment this is a city he could get behind but he remembered his duty to
up hold justice at all costs as they were going through the city the man with the masks says to Xemreron "well
looks like we are a party now so you should at least know our names well I'll
just tell you them my name is Kagen the woman with the bow and drake is Adalade
the human guy there is Erin and the girl there is Sara" well it's nice to meet
you all they just kind of make their own little ways of showing their
acknowledgement of his pleasantries he then tells the group his name " I'm
Xemreron a dragonborn paladin and warlock
of a celestial angel" they all just kind of nod then Adalade the one
steering the cart says were here our destination the king of Ranoa's castle
they all exit the cart and stretch for a second and then start making their way
inside the castle but Xemreron stares at
it in all its glory to think the he this kid from a village would be standing
in the kings castle the stairs up to the castle towering almost endless and the
sun shining over the pristine castle make this kings palace as well as this
city as a place loved by the gods themselves a kingdom crafted by the divine he
then snaps out of the day dream as he sees his part saying "hey princess could
you hurry up we have to meet with the king" he then runs up the stairs entering
the castle with his party when the get inside they are met with a short human
women who has brown hair she says "it's me again you know Maria the kings attendant
and who is this I thought you said you don't need extra people 'the man in the
mask say's' he no extra he a new member of our party" she then says ok Mr.
Dragonman actually my names Xemreron she then says ok Xemreron well the king
will now like to see all of you they then headed into the throne room of the castle this
room was very red Xemreron remembers their golden trophies lining the walls as
well as dark red carpet that reminded him of the blood from his wife corpse
and in the middle of the room was a long
scarlet red very thin carpet that had golden trims and boarders this carpet was
special it led directly to the king and queens throne above the thrones their
was a portrait seeing this he thought that his wife would have loved some like
this for their family and he thought to bad their gone even if they were still
with him they couldn't afford such luxuries of the rich still it was quite a
nice photo it was the king as well as the queen also their daughter what a
happy little painting well once they make it halfway to the kings throne his
majesty starts to speak to them "Ah-hm welcome back you four and seems you have
brought a new soul to fester jolly cooperation anyway you will be given your
payment as usually but tell me about what you discovered during your last
mission to track down that man" Adalade recalls the events of what happened to
the king " well we were tracking him down for a while until he fled into a
densely populated city where he was hiding out in a abandon building where
Kagen pulled in Xemreron to aid us to capture this man but while in this build
it had a dense fog and the man had the ability to phase through the mirrors all
around to mirrors so our group broke every mirror one by one until it was the
final mirror where Xemreron went to fake destroy the last mirror and the man
jump out but he was less of a man as well as more of a thing he was now
transparent his eyes were glowing pure white his body was flowing like mercury also
sharp like shards he kept saying things we are everywhere and we are everything
but we fought of the entity until he change the last mirror into some sort of
portal and escaped leaving ups empty handed" after hearing the detailed
retelling he says " well you may haven't captured him but we have gained
valuable information form your previous mission I'm very proud of this
expedition good work" Xemreron steps up talking to the king "your excellency
your presence is strong and you carry yourself with pride how about you live
more on the wild side and try some thing more exotic like me" the rest of the
party's jaws drop and tell him that is now way to talk to a king as they shove
him out of the throne room while simultaneously apologizing to the king but
after hear that it lit a fire in the kings heart
…
A few
hours after their meeting with the they were given their orders to investigate
this small island and were given the extra funds to buy a boat of their liking
but the attendant will go with them just in case they don't have enough for
their desired boat they have two days to make their preparation before the
leave for the next destination the group started buy purchasing a boat they
decided to buy a boat that was medium sized that had two canons and two
harpoons they also bought cannon balls as well for this ship after that all
they bought was some fishing gear with some bait and then the group sent the
next day they had left doing things like resting or training well except
Adalade who did go out to the market to buy arrows but besides that the rest of
the group stayed in the castle for the rest of their time being just rest up
for their next mission
