Illegalist Insurrection: An Unofficial TwoSet Adventure

The Duo Rises

In the midst of the commotion, Lord Legalist and Lady Aileana happened to be spending some time together in the stately library, leaning close to each other, reading a lengthy novel together and discussing its intricacies, having their own little debates about politics and the wonderful sciences.

And then suddenly, Lord Legalist dropped the book onto the floor, shades nearly falling off his face as the alarm bells clanged in his head. Lady Aileana gasped and reached for his shoulder. "Le! What's wrong?"

But he paid little heed, for the image of a ghastly demonic substance which suspiciously resembled him had suddenly filled his head. The strange figure's menacing mug grinned with lava-like malice as black smoke drifted around its shoulders. A vivid flurry of frantic emotions washed over him.

Lord Doug's mental shouts battered his ears. LORD LEGALIST, COME IN! THERE IS A MONSTER WHO HAS CAPTURED ME, SEND HELP—

And then his vision flashes white, and he neither saw nor heard any more.

"Le? Le, can you hear me?"

Ah, yes. He and Aileana were still in the library.

"I'm perfectly alright, Ailea," Legalist said, wincing and clutching his head.

"Did someone send you a distress call?" Aileana asked.

Legalist nodded affirmatively. "How could you tell?"

"Your eyes turn red each time, did you forget?" Aileana said, the corner of her mouth twitched into a half-smile. "So. Who was it?"

"Doug," Legalist said. "He was fighting some dark figure, who admittedly looks quite a bit like me. It didn't quite capture my visage, though."

Aileana frowned. "Looks like you?"

"Looks like me," Legalist repeated, "but with glowing eyes and mouth. The vision vanished very abruptly, however...."

He trailed off. A cold sweat broke over him.
