"So you know right when everyone says royalty is a super big deal? Well Princess Alathea actually was! Bliming humongous she was, along the rest of the Court of Clouds!
"Yes I have heard the Court of Clouds royal bloodline are indeed cloud giants, and did she meet your 'big' expectations?"
"Ha ha, Miss Kennari that's terrible! But yeah she was pretty impressive, not at all like one of those fairytale princesses, a proper blacksmith and tinkerer she was, she made this blimming huge bell we had to escort with her to Aeschira-a big underground Drow town, but the only way to get there, was through the Sigil."
"Ah sig-..Sigi...The town of portals, city of doors. Yes I've been there once or twice now since we've been here. First time completely by accident too. So who else was in this 'escort party' then? "
"Hmm, oh well there was a fella named Alphonse, kinda fancy-like with a drake named Delenarr. A little Kobold I think named Diggs who literally leashed himself to the bell box so he could keep up with Alathea's 'giant' footsteps. A stylish lassy named Vox, tiefling I think she was. Oh and Calla of course!"
"Ah yes, your damsel in distress!
Though seriously Mittens, I'm very glad you're well versed with your first aid skills.
Magic isn't a fix for everything."
"Well growing up looking after cattle most of ye life you end up fixing up call kinda injuries-N-not that I'm saying Calla is like a cow! She's much too pretty for that! And um..well..."
"Care to tell me again how did she..and you get injured?."
"Well t'was all going well, all the different kinda folks were actually getting out our way once they saw Althea coming, which was good as I was trying to stop Calla who nose with deep in her journal from stepping into the odd puddle or mud or slime or big fiery demon.
"It was when we got into a..rougher looking part of town, that'd the tortle attacked! Ninja-tortles!-You know I'd actually of thought them pretty awesome, till they roped-up the princesses legs and..one chopped down Calla..."
"It's not very nice seeing one of your friends getting..'hurt' is it? But she's fine Mittens, you helped her."
"Well..I..I was soo ready to be a big hero, save the princess, stop the baddies getting away. But when Calla went down. I-it didn't matter anymore."
"The greatest of heroics are sometimes the acts of the smallest nature."
"I was...So angry. The others managed to stop nearly all of the tortles'cept one, that was a spinning up a storm.
Me magic just seemed to flair up, and he listened to me when I ordered him to stop. I went up to him, and he was on his back, looking up me, asking what was going on, asking if-if I was his friend...
I-I lied to him..and..And then I..pulled my sword out...
He-he begged me to spare him..An-and I told him I would...
B-but then..I just got so angry..and-and I..*sniff*
"Come here Mitts."
"I-I nearly killed someone Kennari..B-but I messed up....*sniff*..I messed up and got hurt too-I'm no hero...
Shhh, shh. It's alright.
You delivered the bell, you saved Calla and helped the Princess.
That's all that matters...
Shh. It's okay Mittens...
It's okay...
New folk:
Alphonse-Fancy talking and dressed half-elf with a grouchy drake named Delenarr. He seemed to want to try sweet talking he princess, but she a little..above him.
Diggs-A skitty little kobold was pretty bloody mighty with a knifey, but probably wouldn't beat a cloud giant in a race.
Voss-A stylish and smooth tiefling lass who seems to be a good people-reader as well as fashionista.
New Spell to learn:
Floating Disc: Stephanous-Princess Alathea's servant used this to help us get'bout the cloud-giant castle, else we'd probably still be climbing stairs right'bout now. Might be pretty useful to help carry the groceries home from the Market, Kennari has quite the appetite despite her slim stature.
