Fantasy Trulane - A Fantasy RP

[Dragongal]

Arryn sighed, then said, "How can they expect it from you if it doesn't exist?"

 

[Solar Daddy]

"It exists, it's just rare. I had one in my possession when I made the deal. When the next time came that I owed, I purchased another from a close friend of mine. But he only had one, and neither of us had seen any others."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn thought for a few moments, then asked very quietly, "Do you think it might be on the black market?"

 

[Solar Daddy]

"I doubt it. Mine was a family heirloom from eons ago. The one I bought a few months ago was found in ruins older than the mountains. I'm not sure where else we could even find another, let alone enough to keep them alive long enough for the deal to be over."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn froze. "To keep who alive from what...?" When he was drunk he said he was paying for his family's protection. Evidently that was quite true.

 

[Solar Daddy]

"My family is dead. All of them." He told her suddenly. "Every last member who shares my blood died. I caused it. I... made a deal with a demon, and I brought them back. That's why I owe this debt." Ferron rested his head on the table, thinking deeply and staring blankly at the wall.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn stared at Ferron in shock. How had he caused their deaths? And what in the world would possess him to make a deal with a demon? "Ferron..." What was there to say? Why would he keep this burden from her? Was she in danger too?

 

[Solar Daddy]

Ferron didn't reply as he tried to think. "I... don't know. I have no clue where we'd even look for one. It's a crystal unlike anything you've ever seen before. I'm not even sure what it was, or what it was called."

 

[Dragongal]

"Then what do we do?" Arryn asked, automatically including herself. She had promised to be a caretaker, after all.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Ferron tried to think for a moment. "I'm not sure. I truly don't know. The only guess I could even make is if we kill the demon, but I've never done anything close to fighting one of those before."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn thought for a bit, then said, "Me neither. But maybe we don't have to, are there other options?"

 

[Solar Daddy]

"None that I can see. Killing it would be the only thing I think could work. We could try and recruit someone who knows how to fight such things." He offered.

 

[Dragongal]

"Like that guy and the mages? Maybe. Well, what if you tried making a new deal? If the demon maybe wants something more accessible," Arryn said, though she knew it was a long shot.

 

[Solar Daddy]

"I don't think so. I mean, it stopped me from - it obviously wanted that specific item. We can try, but... I'd say just in case, we bring along someone who knows what they're doing."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded, then out her hand over his, having heard and understood his first sentence. "Then let's prepare. We have a week."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Ferron nodded, glad that Arryn didn't try to push further. He sat up before saying, "There must be someone we can get to at least make it possible for us. Maybe Lord Callum would know of someone?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Perhaps, but that alone is a three day walk or more." Arryn sighed, then said, "We can try."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Ferron nodded slowly as he stood. He kissed the top of Arryn's head before saying, "We'll try Lord Callum's castle first. If not, we might be able to go to the abandoned one on the hillside not too far from here as a spot to hold it off." He gave her hand a squeeze.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn nodded. "You have silver plated weapons, right?"

 

[Solar Daddy]

"Of course, why?" Ferron asked.

 

[Dragongal]

"We'll need them!" Arryn said. "Now, let's get going."

 

[Solar Daddy]

The journey to Lord Callum's castle was long, giving the two of them plenty of time to talk and reflect on what was happening. Ferron expressed multiple times his concern of being able to kill it, but also felt it was a better option than just letting it attack them. When they got to the castle, they were ushered in to the hall. "There they are." Lord Callum said to Emmalia as he turned. "Welcome back, it's good to see the both of you."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn watched the two nobles carefully. She was always a bit on edge around their type.

Emmalia said kindly, "What can we do for you?"

 

[Solar Daddy]

Ferron didn't waste any time explaining. "I'm in a troublesome situation. I owe a demon something I don't have, so I plan on killing it, or at least stopping it from coming after me. I was hoping you two would know someone who could help us hunt it."

 

[Dragongal]

Em slowly looked over at Callum, then quietly asked, "Can we reach Daniel...? Maybe you could find out...." She didn't want him going after a demon again - last time he had come home with those scars on his face.
