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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2eqyZIg3P
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNmiOja17t
    Devion coughed and looked over to the tiefling woman. "What?" his face twisted with an eyebrow cocked.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyDFgrSxUt
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjo2ZFgpjp
    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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9sjTtEwCa
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sQFs3XtTx
    "Jem!" the others in the party gasped with Amber racing over.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX2FJTHRkM
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcerMkK6Dw
    "Jem, put him down! We can't lose them as allies against your sister, remember?" the pale gold dragon ordered.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6cff9WWa3
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik1ExtkHGH
    "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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQHL1uvgQT
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvSvyuhIOT
    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?"401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj3q9PKJUL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44ZOU7p6yx
    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."401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkyYjGjriY
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtaOR1BOGY
    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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvNnkjoLcG
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdI3nQnLWg
    "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."401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOUg6ekM1n
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSowGvEJQ93
    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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4F5LGVC12
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYyh3i2Hmh
    "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."401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFEHxcBJh5
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbti9PaR7Q9
    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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWlXxf5fTx
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3hWDTxhiX
    "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?"401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5GHzJNFxr
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9vdKbBybF
    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."401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uC6A5HVSr
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2USuK0oC4
    "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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRaiTXSARs
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aCL1yjvoR
    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."401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeTAYIOlgk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIr5D9pUqC
    "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!"401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpjw431AOt
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0LNQHoRc8
    "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!"401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n6Yyliptg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0lP9YPMz6
    "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!"401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEKzz4Ntol
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdBjXyCj6v
    "And what will you do, druid? Wrap me in plants?" Devion snapped, glaring at Rose.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh9PV2HmRB
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3zISXDa35
    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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKP2fKAmS
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCHYLSNsI9
    "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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7z5O068RQ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cp3PjrVyZ
    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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjBPQwZsMk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL39ingYX8l
    "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."401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubU7MDPNaK
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Xw0bkt6i
    Quickly Devion nodded. "Promise!"401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ioGYvuLF
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpAcnnhF4B
    "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?"401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo7u59WIkf
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzXGdOCbik
    "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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4aeL32U10
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGifo6BGczQ
    "Here you go."401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqixWORYUc
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE9Ij8a5vQ
    "Thank you." Fae took the fabric and wrapped the mirror before slipping it away into her bag.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6J2YU8sDZ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL7vM16tZP
    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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AfFP1GCDF
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iFTpCax6x
    "Shouldn't one of us go with the little brother to ensure he gets home safe?" Rose looked to her pack.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhqFD5suEj
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6uzymhgLC
    "I'm sure he could get home fine on his own. He does live here after all." Faerthurin stated in her calm tone.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl6RkcGWtS
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUZg55ACvr
    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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWkMPYU12R
