Asha looked curiously as Qotle started changing the landscape around the entrance.

"Whatcha up to, brother?" She asked, tilting her head to one side.

Penelope watches as Qotle sets about lighting fires near the entrance. "I've never seen something breathe black fire before... and I don't think Amazons could do that."

"Little brother has dragon blood in him. His mom was kinda famous among our people for bedding a dragon." Asha brags with a smirk.

Qotle looks back to Asha. "Setting a warning to those that would think to come here. Smoke and fire is bad way to hide a location, but it's a great way to tell someone to back off. And if the village has no one brave enough to come here, it would be good to give them an indicator of them straying too close to some place dangerous..." He says, letting the trees burn.

"These flames won't stop burning until it consumes what it envelops. Fortunately, I control the flames enough so that they don't spread, so the pungent smell makes for a wonderful scarecrow." He says, looking between the two girls as Asha brags about his mom. When he thinks about it, she did do something rather extraordinary for her people in giving them him. That feeling though didn't last long as he spoke next.

"I'm not going to lie to them. They need to know that you're still here and holding onto hope. But I'll also make sure to the best of my ability that none of the villagers let loose their lips to neighboring towns...That being said, I hope this all goes well..."
And Thus the World knew color.

"Hmm... yeah, I think it will." Asha smiles. "Black dragonfire is like, legendarily rare. It'll be scary enough for any other monsters that show up too."

"... I hope our friends and family trust us." Penelope sighs and nods. "I... I believe that the hope we can be cured is keeping some of the others sane. We have no other choice but to trust you now, Qotle, Asha. It is more than what we had before, merely waiting to loose ourselves to the hunger and lust. Now, at least... we know that our homes are safe, as there are no other monsters here... besides us."

Her worms writhe for a moment, then she looks over her shoulder. Her brother Ryan and the little girl (whose sister has become a tunneling worm) are walking up the steps from the dungeon.

"We're... we're ready to go, Big sis." Ryan says softly, and hugs Penelope one last time. The worms twitch eeriely as she embraces him for just a moment, but they do not touch him.

"I'll see you again, someday. When things are better." the infested villager promises.

The little girl looks around the clearing for a moment, seeing only Qotle and Asha. "Um... miss Penelope? Where's the Hero guy?"

"Oh, it turns out he was too hurt to travel, so he's staying here with us. Don't worry... we'll make sure he stays alive." Penelope says with a completely straight face. "Now, stay with Qotle and Asha, and don't wander off. They'll keep you safe."

She gives a pointed look toward Qotle and Asha... it need not be said, but it's clear that the transformed girls will not be happy if it gets out they're keeping the hero around as a food source. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but these are their beloved little siblings.

"Aheh, no worries. We won't be making any delays." Asha says brightly, rubbing the back of her head.

Merely thinking about what had happened to Baston made Qotle narrow his eyes and nod. He looks to Ryan and kneels to him. "It's time to go, you two. I'll make sure that you two get back to your families safely. For now we have to get you to the village. I'll have them arrange a place for you two to stay at while i find a cure for everyone here..." He gives the two a reassuring grin before looking back to Asha.

He had no idea how he was going to get this across to the villagers, but if push came to shove, he might have to use his powers to 'persuade' them into seeing it his way. Though, that in of itself, is a last resort. He'll have to find some new swords to accompany the one, bummer.

He inhales and let's out a sigh. "We go." He starts walking back to the village.
And Thus the World knew color.

(... I didn't know Qotle had different powers besides fire breath? which are they? it's been a while eheh.)

With one last tearful goodbye, the two worn, weary amazons siblings and human children begin the long trek back to Illiasburg. Penelope vanishes into the wafts of smoke behind them, with nary a whisper.

The children are equally quiet as they make thier way back... but it seems that there is little to say. Asha keeps their spirits up, by promising that this sort of thing is what the Amazons do. They may not be Heroes of Illias, but they keep their promises.

When they get back to Illiasburg, it's clear the town is on edge... the walls are manned by alert guards, including Raelin and Gwynne (Reminder post!:), and with them was a tall, dark skinned woman in more ornate black armor. She was not a guard in training, her eyes were sharp, and despite the enchantments on her armor, one could see scars on her skin. This was a tough lady, even for a human!

(This lady, except with darker skin, like actually black instead of tanned.
Spoiler: show

)

"Hold there!" She declares, holding one arm up fearlessly. "Step away from the children!"

"Wait, Captain Kiera!" Raelin pipes up quickly "I recognize them from yesterday! They went with Gaston to search for the missing girls!"

As the children rush up to the Captain, she lets out a sigh of relief as she checks them over. "Raelin, Gywnne, take them to the barracks, and check them properly." As the Cadets lead the children off, the Captain looks over the two Amazons, her eyes narrowing as she takes in their worn and battered state.

"You two, with me." Kiera leads them away to another part of the barracks, avoiding the town's people. Any villager who asks gets told curtly that they need to be questioned, and soon they're in a quiet room with a table and a few rough looking chairs there.

Kiera sits on one side of the table and guestures for the two Amazons to sit on the other side.

"You two are the only survivors out of a group of twelve warriors and one Hero," she says simply, all business. "What the hell happened out there, and where are the rest of my missing people?"

(Well to be fair, Qotle was referring to his fire breath. He doesn't know about any other skills he could do with his dragon side. I plan on introducing 2 other skills at some point. One being Curse of Dragon, his revival mechanic, when it's necessary.)

After having walked all this time and mulling over what he was going to say, He was taken aback by the actual knight before them in the form of Kiera. He didn't have much to say, looking her over, he could see she meant business. He'd love to learn from her sometime. Hut now onto more pressing matters.

He sighs and lets the two kids be escorted away, but not before saying that he'll find him later. The two follow after Kiera and go to sit someplace more secluded. When she had asked them about their time at the cave, Qotle's drained expression turned to one more of anger. He grits his teeth before calming down and huffing.

He sighs and looks to her before saying "How much do you want to know? It gets pretty gruesome.."

(... you know, having your male OC having a revival mechanic makes things much more interesting. Plenty of ideas for what happens should he, and Asha, lose a fight.)

The dark skinned woman narrowed her eyes at Qotle.

"I've been through two tours, kid. I know more about Gruesome than you do." She leaned forward, incendentally giving Qotle a bit of a show as she did."I've got a lot of people missing family members and getting REALLY scared about whatevers took up in the forest. So I want to know EVERYTHING you know about what's out there, and you're not leaving this room until I'm satsified."

Asha sighed a bit, then rubbed her side as her newly healed ribs still ached.

"Eveybody else got eaten by these wierd monsters that weren't affected by the Hero's light. The villagers are alive, but they got turned into similar monsters and have asked us to try and figure out a way to cure them. They're the ones that took out the monsters that ate everyone else. They're staying in the dungeon because they don't want to risk hurting the village."

Kiera blinked at the blunt summary. "I'm gonna need some more details..."

Details followed. Kiera was relentless and throurough in her questioning, but as the siblings co-operated, her tone became less suspicious. Thankfully, in addition to the notes that they'd found in the dungeon, Pamela had provided a list of all the names of the transformed villagers... those who could remember them, and descriptions of those who didn't.

The dark-skinned woman eventually stopped asking questions, and closed her eyes and squeezed the bridge of her nose.

"Nothing is ever easy..." she muttered, sighing heavily.

(Originally he was only supposed to have the fire and revive, but seeing how im taking him with this makes me really want to develop another skill for him based on his emotional state.)

Qotle sat in mostly silence as the two go over what he had to suffer through, clearing up any inconsistencies in his memory but holding off certain knowledge like his thoughts and trials in order to keep this as unbiased as he could. Despite how drained he felt, he couldn't help but admire the rack on this captain. Maybe if he weren't focused on the situation at hand, he might try getting a bit closer to her.

"So what now?" Qotle asks while looking to Kiera, appreciating that she could understand how drastic of situation. He stands up and stretches. He needs to relieve some stress. He needs to cut something... "I have a crick in my neck." He says, subtly alerting Asha by that odd phrase that he's in a mood and needs to leave.

"What happens now is that I have to deal with a lot of mess." Keira huffed and sat back in her chair. "I need to check your story, and also calm the rest of the townsfolk, and come up with a plan based on what you've told me."

"In the meantime, I need you two to stay put. I'd hold you here, but all we have is the barracks and the cells. I'm going to have Gwynne escort you to the Illias Inn and you're going to stay there, indoors, until I call you again."

Asha bristles a bit at the concept of being 'held', but takes a look at Qotle, recognizing the comment as a sign of stress from her little brother.

"I suppose it's better than being arrested..." She mutters softly. Asha is usually much more confident, but it seems she too is a bit stressed.

"The only reason I haven't arrested you is because you brought the missing children back." Kiera sighs heavily. "I know you two probably aren't bad kids, but you've gotten caught up in a really messed up situation. Get some rest, alright?"

(I figure I'll have Kiera lay out a few suggestions on where to go next later, and have her handle the townsfolk offscreen. We could have Asha and Qotle unwind in the Inn... or have Gwynne get involved there? I can follow your lead there, if you like)

Qotle grits his teeth and turns his head to make sure Kiera didn't see the little bit of smoke coming from his breath. He had to restrain himself. Something about what Baston said rings in his head still and it's been making him angrier the more he thinks about it. He clenches his fist and nods.

"Follow the scent of smoked wood and you'll find your way there. An obvious warning was placed at the entrance of your destination. You may not need it with your experience, but be careful out there." He says in a slightly agitated manner before turning to face Kiera again.

"If you manage to find any of them, just mention my name and you should get all the info you need without too much trouble.." He says, scratching his head, thinking on her words. 'Not bad...'

(God, been a while since I touched on Gwynne and Raelin... I didn't actually have much planned for them, but let me know if you're interested in them.)

"Right. If they're still alive, it'll get make things easier with the rest of the town..." Kiera stands up and walks to the door. "Hopefully..." she mutters as she leaves.

In a few moments, Gwynne, the young blonde guard comes into their room with a haunted expression on her face. Quietly she leads them out the back and through the less populated parts of the town, until they reach the back entrance to the Illias Inn. After speaking to the innkeeper, she leads us up to the rooms.

"We, uh, should be ready to talk to you in the morning..." nervously, she looks up at Qotle again. "If... if you need anything, don't be afraid to let me know. I'll be just down the hall on the right... Kiera asked me to keep an eye on you, but... it's really because you saved those missing kids. They told us... quite a story."

Asha raises her eyebrows at this, but doesn't seem to say anything, merely letting Qotle answer.

Qotle remained mostly wordless as they went to their room for the night. He huffs and looks to Gwynne as she mentions the two kids. He seemed irate but nodded and rubbed his neck. "Pay them no mind. They've been through quite a lot. As we all have these past few days.. If i'm to stay here, I'll do that then. You can head off if you'd like.." He says, setting down his sword and sitting down. He could feel the aches in his back as he lays down, ready to sleep.

"Somebody has to pay them mind... and I don't think they were lying to us." Gwynne shook her head quietly, looking over Qotle again. This time she took in the lines on his face and the slump of his shoulders. "I'll see you tomorrow then." Quietly she closes the door.

Asha groans in relief as she lies on the other bed... stretching out completely to cover the comparatively smaller furniture. she gets some sleep as well... she figures, if Qotle wants to talk, he'll talk in the morning.

Qotle groans and relaxes himself. He didn't feel like talking right now. He was more into the thought of causing havoc. He was sad to see his swords were no longer by his side. He grabs his lone blade and looks at it, unsheathing it slightly before setting it down at his side. "Tomorrow will be a hard day. See you then, buddy." He says quietly before closing his eyes and going to bed.

(The Next Morning)

A night spent at the fancy Illias Inn is indeed as restful as advertised: the beds are still as soft and comfortble as advertised. The sun shines cheerily through the window... perhaps today will be better than yesterday.

Asha wakes, grunts and stretches out, finally without pain in her side.

"Mmmm... good morning Brother," she rolls her shoulders, relishing her healed body, as toned and thick as it is.

Asha would find that Qotle was not in the room this morning. He has gone outside to take in the morning air and was sitting outside the inn to make sure he hadn't gone out too far.

As his sister had woken up, Qote would walk back into the room, now looking much calmer if a bit more sullen. "Morning, Sister. Had a good rest?" He asks moving a lock of his hair to the side. His sword was resting at his side.

"Yep" Asha says with a happy sigh. "These villagers know how to make good beds."

She pauses for a moment, then looks askance at Qotle.

"Okay bro, what's eating you? You've been really down since we got back to town, and I was worried you were going to start growling at that sexy, heavily armed government official. Not in the fun way, either." Asha raises one red eyebrow, and crosses her thick legs as she waits for an answer.

Qotle sorta blushes at the thought now that his mind is clearer. "I couldn't say for sure. Something about that guy really ticked me off from the word go. And finding out he was willing to sacrifice all those that followed him and the lives of those still in the cave just holding onto the hope that they could see their families again...Rrr..sf! Calm..." He stops talking, feeling the rage swelling again. He rubs his neck and sits down on the bed.

"I've been thinking about that moment.. When he showed off his blessing. It brought out something in me I haven't felt in a very long time. Malice." He says, feeling a bit bad even saying that

"Hey... people back home always said humans could be really nasty." Asha shook her head, clearly finding the memory of the man distasteful. "I think maybe we just got a bigger face full of that with him..."

The young Amazon reaches over and rubs his shoulders in a firm, slow motion. She doesn't dismiss his worries at all... Amazons are warriors of passion, and can lose themselves in lust. Dragons are just as passionate and a dark dragons fury is far more insidious.

"The strength of our blood and hearts is both blessing and burden, Brother." Asha murmurs in a soft voice. "Controlling it is easy when you're at home, surrounded by family and familiar things... out here, we get pushed. Not just to prove how strong we are... but how strong our will is. But we're not alone... we've got each other to pull each other back, at least."

Qotle nods and tilts his head down as he looks to his clenched fists. "Boy can I feel that right now. But luckily I don't feel too bad now. I just hope this doesn't become a problem out here, away from everyone..." He looks up to Asha with a bit of uncertainty.

After some time passes, He shifts in his bed and asks if they should send for the knights or if they should wait to be summoned. "I doubt much problem should arise at this time. But just to be safe we should be ready to help out..."
