the blackguard company

chapter 16 Ralorans past and Cragsin

As the group is on the road with everyone being silent the air kinda intense and Raloran is working on Cybel keeping to himself while Kurts driving themselves away from the city of Tauro

"So Raloran who are those guards,and why are they after you?" Kurt asks keeping his eyes on the road and Raloran is trying to ignore him "hello earth to Raloran" Kurt says and he keeps on ignoring him and Kurts getting annoyed "Raloran!" He yells out

"What!?" Raloran Yells out in anger "Can't a man work on something to keep him calm and sane for frocks sake???" He says and it becomes dead silence then Raloran pipes up "look I'm.....I'm sorry i just i have some bad history with Cragsin" Raloran says in a saddened tone "It's kinda why i was hopping we take the bounty.....i knew they were looking for me" Raloran explains and Kurt looks seeing it's getting towrds sunset

"Why don't we set up camp and you can tell us about whats going on give you some breathing space" Kurt says and Raloran nods agreeing with him. As the night comes everyone is by the fire and Raloran is looking at it thinking

"It was a long time ago.....i can't remember specifics but it was between springsong to summersong there was a island off the coast of Tamrisil full of people like me humanoid animals and it was such a nice place everyone knew everyone" Raloran says "i was a young rabbit back then intelligent and fast on my feet but i was short and dident want to the whole carrying shit stuff but i never cared really my younger brother was the opposite tall strong but was a bulky but we helped each other" Raloran says "i even had a wife and two bunny sons i loved them so much i do anything for them" Raloran says "but then that frocking bitch came" he adds

"Who?" Kurt asks curious

"Her name was doctor thorn a human psychopath who knew alot about alchemy and human-animal hybrids she came to the island we were so kind to her and she was kind to us we trusted her then she told us the truth" Raloran explains "she created us that she is our god some of us believed it but i didn't neither did my wife nor my sons or brother and we tried to escape but then a lion hybrid by the name of Xatharuz he attacked my family killed my wife my brother.....even my sons....." Raloran says looking at the fire and the others are in shock hearing this "i tried to fight him but he threw me onto the boat told me "my death will come but i will feel the sting of lost" and i did....i failed the only family i ever had" he says in a sad tone looking at the campfire and the others even Lady seems shocked

"So after that you became a bounty hunter living paycheck to paycheck" Kurt says

"It's how i got good and made Cybel my brother" Raloran explain looking at Cybel

"Oh man......Raloran I'm" Kurt tries to speak but Raloran interrupt

"Save it kid it's fine i just i want some payback from Xatharuz for killing them and doctor thorn for everything she done....." Raloran says "she experimented on us .....dropped us on a island to survive and kill each other......and whats more took our memories of it all" he says

"And we will help you now why does Cragsin want you?" Lady asks

"Well because I'm a mutate a humanoid made by doctor thorn they think I'm a monster so i just hide from them" Raloran explains that and i may have stolen a bit of tech to get me started

"Hmmmmm so it might be hard to ask for her rune then" Kurt says thinking

"Not unless i turn myself in" Raloran says and the others look at him "i know it's crazy even for me but if i do this then maybe i can bargin with Venessa for the rune" he says

"But what about your revenge??" Kurt asks

"It's fine i mean i know i want it but i know the rune is needed" Raloran explains and the others look at each other worried
