Re: Chapter 1: The Land of Betrayal
Agon finally caught up with his companions, breathless from his run through the shantytown. He was the last to arrive, but still heard most of the conversation. He listened intently, both to their new companions and the infamous vampire.
Deep in thought, he followed as the group stepped aside to discuss privately.
"I don't like this," he began bluntly. "Even if all he said is true" he said, his tone doubtful, "there is a lot he is not saying. Why does he want the sword so much ? If it is the key we need to open the portal, and he knows so, he certainly did not mention it. Also, why does he not seem interested in leaving this place through the portal we're seeking ?"
The wizard paused, seemingly hesistant. "I am very reluctant to trust him, let alone help him. But... this place does not simply make betrayal more likely, I fear it also exerts its influence on any betrayer - maybe strong enough to trap one in this land permanently." He met each of his companions' eyes in turn. "No matter what we decide, we should word our 'deal', if any, very carefully..." he warned.
