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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWsapSdJe
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjcMEjeQo9
    Devion coughed and looked over to the tiefling woman. "What?" his face twisted with an eyebrow cocked.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3TI4zwQnn
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ475MzYDbp1
    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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLr3CZheBH
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGiDseuvHa
    "Jem!" the others in the party gasped with Amber racing over.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MfKwJguxJ
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIFagCId2H
    "Jem, put him down! We can't lose them as allies against your sister, remember?" the pale gold dragon ordered.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx2lIsqmn9
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuf0GSSW3S
    "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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1zosTcdYZ
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSrIcLgDEg
    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?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplBHDF1ze7
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBMfvydct0
    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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bq5DG4joI
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurrtVcdXHc
    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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxxTJFhujX
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qK9LHC0MX
    "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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhYgXZikqU
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI6rN3Pldf
    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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWPK7TPBhI
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHVRmQ49Ym
    "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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXApNvOw2n
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm5r9t1IkI
    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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKl1YmuTIe
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwo303kq3Q
    "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?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLNP70Q9TP
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3FuZeeXdH
    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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vWJtCXI1B
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UwCr3fSX9
    "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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHU4ZfGsdb
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWjeAno4G7
    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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZX6ByJoHQ
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iqREOodx4
    "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!"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF0xFE6Vbi
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRA3YXHkxo
    "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!"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZZk1Txcx1
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9p4sxriXe
    "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!"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7w495rgcq
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S58QZZimW
    "And what will you do, druid? Wrap me in plants?" Devion snapped, glaring at Rose.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCDdr57t1U
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFo9AOwj9X
    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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuo6Uz41p6
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx42A9Nk3w
    "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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9UZraV19K
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC2Sq99Sio
    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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C0xRX7EZ0
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4TPf7ZxFv
    "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."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4s1wu94RK
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRGuvwX663
    Quickly Devion nodded. "Promise!"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NQJU7SgWJ
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgKSvN6PHF
    "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?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQDO5y6BcD
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvKMmISXGQ
    "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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTDCjIc7Qy
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOBd1hDm1X
    "Here you go."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkuxYBCeJF
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4y9SqD5F3
    "Thank you." Fae took the fabric and wrapped the mirror before slipping it away into her bag.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh3fNt7YxT
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTOARsUfAd
    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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91hs9XuAxT
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXDjluTq31
    "Shouldn't one of us go with the little brother to ensure he gets home safe?" Rose looked to her pack.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWImxQpr5Z
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA2Am11ymx
    "I'm sure he could get home fine on his own. He does live here after all." Faerthurin stated in her calm tone.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M6mEyNWJM
585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztUyu7s0ox
    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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynjP5fBkI1
