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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWowHtSe3EK
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMUYpheczt
    Devion coughed and looked over to the tiefling woman. "What?" his face twisted with an eyebrow cocked.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H4IKZJy0k
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB0vo8LMqC
    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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7pkpF8VL7
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpttLTlkrw
    "Jem!" the others in the party gasped with Amber racing over.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4oj05eWyw
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8r2qqqO7K
    "Jem, put him down! We can't lose them as allies against your sister, remember?" the pale gold dragon ordered.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtJU91A3Fl
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5gXx6tNrB
    "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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte8kOrmXPr
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z4diEM9Eu
    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?"583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkZYymCjYZ
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0x0mVxvNn
    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."583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0utlZPEIz
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmlHpNDXjD
    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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9M3qbTxB4
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxsiqhv2dI
    "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."583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnPWsRR8kI
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivlYHURyo5
    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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD6Cxw9VY3
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiNfmt0Zh3
    "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."583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx8JvgGkm9
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJYsf4Bdla
    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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvCgFRj8U
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AbSvHzxqf
    "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?"583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Wu2sf2d2
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA8SwkZbom
    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."583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLlvgVgkO4
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpeJ38E9xa
    "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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOefw7lOCH
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNjIezbN7D
    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."583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiFuvhHCN6
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LQMHIkJrR
    "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!"583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1qqkibap5
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVOunReLRx
    "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!"583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNmacZfIwA
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBeB2mrsvO
    "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!"583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsORS2DyOQf
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0jK4h4Bsv
    "And what will you do, druid? Wrap me in plants?" Devion snapped, glaring at Rose.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ74gMVYBrW
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV3hDI5IRp
    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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3GjRXwkZn
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhsKXZJWBN
    "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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Bv1H2tVw
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv8kREWHwI
    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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmSnNMyZi3
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx44y66Ph2
    "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."583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16zW1bSpHQ
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fu4koR8cO
    Quickly Devion nodded. "Promise!"583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeGlyyc6fo
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5gzahVb2q
    "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?"583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD5NoXamUy
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8aWk16ZQh
    "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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpYLvC48s6
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R8ognvpvy
    "Here you go."583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoT6FAG5rv
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaZZb3ojGB
    "Thank you." Fae took the fabric and wrapped the mirror before slipping it away into her bag.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUAmg52MjS
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhApE5Lll9d
    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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJzJlRLA5J
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyIm1Eev6E
    "Shouldn't one of us go with the little brother to ensure he gets home safe?" Rose looked to her pack.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1NBdsTZzj
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR1y2aPAtz
    "I'm sure he could get home fine on his own. He does live here after all." Faerthurin stated in her calm tone.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyx2mqILQe
583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas4QPgSTyc
    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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeWG5hJICK
