The next day we set out to first look for the Tuskari Caravan so that I could smooth things out with Naz and deliver my sweets but I got us lost despite my impeccable sense of direction. Instead we headed to the Mir’Sha encampment to look for Ella and her imaginary friend. As we looked for the child, Bogbean pointed out something we could not see. When we followed what she saw she said it ran at her and I heard its claws and saw as her sword was dodged as it attacked her. It apparently ran after Bogbean swinging her sword through it and doing nothing. Ela came looking for the creature or, Mr . Peepers as she called it, and told us how it came from her dreams after she wished for a friend to protect her. She said people who were mean to her disappeared.
After the girl left, Drexla flew off looking for something and we all followed into an alley where bogbean froze and went a pale sickly green and she pointed forward where the creature supposedly was and Drexla shot flame from her hands after reading a scroll and we saw the outline of the beast. Thin and bent with long claws. I could feel its energy leave and Bogbean said it vanished and we all heard a horrific laugh. When we investigated where it had just been, Drexla found the corpse of a Mir’Sha woman who had had her heart torn out. We decided to find the speaker, a very rude woman, and explain what brought us here and what we found, though she found my long winded explanation annoying apparently. She seemed to believe us, but was dismayed by the sight of Bogbean’s sword which appears to have belonged to someone she knew.
We decided to hold off on looking for the dream monster as none of us besides Bogbean could see it, and instead head to the next round of the tournament. We managed not to be in the same bracket as the others this time and they went first. The fight started slow with most, either taking cover or preparing themselves. As the Rhomar competitors ran forward and started their attack, Drexla once again dropped smoke onto the field obstructing most of the area. The fight was neck and neck every blow being answered with one in kind as one Rhomar slung spells at my companions. Luna went down after being struck down by the golden Rhomar. I thought it was going to be the end of our other teams run, but V and Drexla brought it back from the brink, knocking them down slowly and getting battered in the process. V went to down the caster barely leaving her standing as Drexla finished her off with a blast from her gun.
As Luna awoke on the sidelines her and I spoke I checked her over slightly and congratulated her on how well she did. We spoke briefly on our pasts and I told her a little about my bandages and why I wear them. I saw our next opponents. A group of giant Myr’Rin and I sighed deeply praying that my magic would be enough to keep my friends safe and my strength would last.
