[h3][b]Before[/b][/h3]

[color=goldenrod][i]With the party down two members due to unpredicted circumstances, only the three fierce heroes remained. Bowyn, the honest and bold. A Fairy who lost too much to the damned Dark Elves to not pass up on the chance to bring the fight to them. Then there was Eris, ever so wise and reliable. An elven maiden that had saved the very man who would rescue Avalia from the clutches of their opposition. And lastly, there was the chosen one. The one who would bring an end to this war with his limitless potential and instinctive leadership qualities.

For their first objective… They all decided it would be pretty dope to get some food and drink at the local bar. There were laughs, cheers, and then jeers too as someone burst into the bar to shout out the news from Roshmi. It was terrible news, but that just gave the three more reason to push on with the festivities. And they did! 

Their efforts were not for nothing as a snowy-white-haired vixen named Raven quickly approached the group with her eyes set on Kaleb, of course. It wasn’t a surprise that someone had heard of the young hero destined to save the world…[/i][/color]

In actuality, Kaleb was just as surprised as Raven. Judging by her excitement, she didn’t just know of him, Raven was kind of starstruck. Apparently, she was simply doing the same as they were, enjoying a night of fun and drinking. Kaleb didn’t want his lies to Bowyn to fall through just yet, so he jumped up and embraced Raven in a hug just so he could quietly tell her to play along with him. He awkwardly introduced her as his good friend Valerie since he hadn’t got her name yet. 

When inquiring if Raven was searching for Annya, Kaleb noticed her not being too keen on talking about her… at first anyway. A little more drinking brought a little more words. When Raven finally started to talk about Annya, the things she said were…

[color=goldenrod][i]Very unfavorable! Kaleb was conflicted with the information Valerie was providing to him. So much so, he pulled his wise advisor, Eris off to the side to inquire about the temperament of Princess Annya. And to his dismay, Eris delivered a soft-spoken, yet trustworthy confirmation. She urged Kaleb to be wary of Annya, but the young hero was not a keeper of secrets! He approached both Bowyn and Valerie sharing his wariness with meeting Annya and even went as far as saying. [b]“Bowyn, boldest of your kind. I’m afraid things are far worst than even you predicted. Our union has helped reveal a darkness that lingers with the one I intend to meet… but we need allies! We will meet her, but do not place faith in the woman.”[/b]

And with that… there was some more drinking. And THEN, they retreated for the night. Bowyn, being as bold as he was, went off alone. Meanwhile, Kaleb, being the gentleman he is, brought the two maidens to his abode. The rest, I’ll leave up to your imagination.[/i][/color][hr]

[h3][b]Now[/b][/h3]

[color=goldenrod]“Ughhh fuck those sugary drinks, my head is pounding!”[/color] Kaleb groaned with his eyes shut since seeing the bright sunlight would only make his headache worse. He groaned again as he reflexively reached to his left for his phone only to touch a body. [color=goldenrod]“Oh.”[/color] He recoiled before reaching to his right. Same thing, another body. [color=goldenrod]“Huh. What the…”[/color] Kaleb peeked through his lashes with the scenery reminding him that he was still in the fantastical world of Avalia.
