Worm - The Malfesant Throne

@Sickle-cell
YOU PINGED BANANA AGAIN

Reign: Kingdom Come

@Spiffy
You were so close.

Also, noted for the future. Will do when I can, b0ss. Spoiler, it might just be past tales of Lorenzo painting something and eventually it being discarded by him as trash.

The Narrow Path

"Do not call me that here, and if you do, do not say it so loud." Jen angrily whispered to you as she takes her hand and places it on your head, the heat radiating off onto your scalp. "I told the heads that you wanted to destroy Yashar, and they were willing to let you stay should you not overstep your boundaries. You are not public enemy number one, but that might change soon if you cross the line. Understand?"

The Narrow Path

"Magdalene's father was slain years and years ago in a carriage accident."

"Her adoptive father, sir."

"Ah."

"... both of you two leave for a moment. Us heads must discuss this alone."

Jonathan grabs you by the shirt and pulls you out into the hall before the familiarly hushed voice of Jen returns. "Who in the hell do you think you are, addressing my boss in such a way?!"

The Narrow Path

"Well, 'Toby', you are a citizen in these halls, and might I add that you are only here upon request of Jonathan Light. You are on a thin line 'Toby', and do not think for a second th-"

"Hush Rapierre," Josef blurted out loud to the men in the room. "Mr. Toby, if what you said is true about Sinclair, then where is he? Furthermore, where is young Magdalene of Secondi Brook?"

The Narrow Path

"That is none of your concern, citizen." Rapierre grimly said as he looked to Jonathan with a look of slight irritation. "Jonathan. Who is this man that you have brought to us?"

"He is the man who I found in the Den of Believers, holding the tome written by Brock Sinclair. He... expresses desires to murder Yashar."

"Murder Yashar? Is he serious about that?"

"I shall let him speak for himself, as well as describe what happened at Secondi Brook as an eye-witness."

Jonathan steps back behind you and puts his hands behind his back, waiting for you to tell your side of the story.

The Narrow Path

"... I am telling you three that the best course of action for that book is finding the creator of it!"

"Jonathan, we do not have the troops available to perform such a task."

"Head Rapierre is right. We have most paladins on the eastern border currently fighting against a rising menace."

"What are you saying, Head Josef?! You were allied with me before this!"

"That may be true, but as new information comes up, they bring up a better point than you, Jonathan."

"Brothers. There is a new face here."

The men stop bickering as they look at you, Jonathan's body language signaling a bit of relief.

The Narrow Path

You walk down a long hall as you approach a room with a clearly-annoyed Jonathan Light behind it, along with various other voices behind it. They seem to be rambling about monsters and what occurred at Secondi Brook. "He is behind this door... but... I wouldn't go in there just yet..." the woman says as she departs.

You could go in there. Nobody's watching and Jonathan could use your help. Of course, you could also just wait and let him handle the situation. Whatever you do, it might be best to decide quickly. Jonathan's voice is getting louder by the second.

The Narrow Path

The woman stops in her tracks before turning directly around to see you. "Are you f- Oh!" she barks with shock. "You must be Jonathan's friend! He wasn't doing so well, but he demanded us to do something. Please, come with me."

Well, that was easier than expected.

The Narrow Path

As you walk through the halls of the building, you notice that this is a very... elegant floor. Something probably reserved for only the higher ups and not a prisoner. Odd, but maybe there was some kind of purpose to this.

In the distance, you see a young woman in light armor, far younger than you, walk hurriedly through the hallway. Her ears indicate she is of Elven descent, as well. Might be a smart idea to investigate where she is going.
