The Void can change you (a D&D love story)

A party for a party

The three people looked out at the mansion. "Do we have too..." A half elf wizard woman named Erna said as she stood next to her friend Silus her hair was a deep black as she had green eyes. Silus, a human warlock man looked up at it pushing back his brown hair looking at it with brown eyes.

"I dono. What do you think bird?" he said looking over at Ariel who was an aarakocra ranger with green eyes and red like feathers.

"Eh go in?" but before Ariel could take a step they hear someone yell over.

"Hey, you're my group I'm showing around the party. Erna Ariel and Erna right?" walking towards them was a woman in a button down shirt with a tux coat on top. She had her blond hair braided in two braids. She had tan skin and piercing purple eyes. She had a tattoo running up her left arm of symbols.

"Yeah that's us. Silus said, looking at her trying to see if she was sketchy. She was.

"Well then come with me i'll take you to the show!" she said, clapping her hands together. She led them around the mansion to a huge ballroom. She brought them up some stairs to a balcony showing a stage covered with red silk curtains. People were starting to fill seats below them. "After you all." she said letting them sit down. People filled the seats below but strangely enough no one was welcomed up stairs with them... they were the only ones. But soon light shot to the stage and out came a goblin man in fancy clothes. Quite an uncommon thing.

"Well hello everyone! My name is Mr. Leonard! And today is a day of selling!" In this time he showed many things as people bidded on them. It was quite the auction show. Then he carefully brought out a jar. "This here is a special spirit in a jar! It's perfect to light up your living room and comes in many colors!" He holds it out so everyone can see it but it slips. It shatters and the contents slip out and swoop into a cloaked person. "Huh... that was not right..." Then creaking is heard from above him and the ceiling falls down and shattering is heard behind the stage. The spirits then come flying out slamming people into the face as they change and pull into mysterious looking people.

"What the fuck is going on!" Silus screamed.

"Follow me!" Zrada yelled, standing up and booking it down the stairs. The others nodded and followed. They ran down a hallway as fat as they could until they hit a dead end. Screaming and noises were heard behind them. Zrada felt the wall until she found a brick and pushed it in as a wall opened. "Come on through here!" The three quickly went in as Zrada closed it behind them. "Come on, keep going through the tunnels, don't look back dont stop!" It felt like they were running forever until they saw an opening. They came out to grass and the sun beating down on them. Looking back they saw the mansion destroyed.

"What just happened..." Erna said quietly, staying close to Silus. They then heard rustling behind them and turned around to see Zra taking off her Tux vest.

"Don't mind me just getting ready for travel."

"What...?" Ariel said. Zra smiled.
"Well you're a group of adventures right? Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Zra and I'm looking for a party. We just went through that traumatic thing together so i was thinking if you guys had room for one more...?" Silus looked down at Erna who looked still confused as Ariel.

"Alright, fine." Silus mumbled.

"What really?!" Ariel said. "We should at least know what she can do!"

"Magic. I'm a sorcerer. I do magic Stuff. Like fire and junk" she said waving her hands. They stayed silent.

"We could use a better spellcaster than you Silus." Ariel said with a smile. Silus sighed.

"Alright but do you know where we can go? We don't know this area at all."

"Oh yeah, I know this area well. There's a hotel just a couple miles down north. Let me change behind that tree and we can get going."

"Change...?" Erna said, confused.

"Ay i ain't going around in a suit so like... stand over there." Zrada said, shooing them over.

"... i don't like her." Silus said.

"Shhhhh. You don't like anyone." Ariel said, shushing him. Silus rolled his eyes. Zrada came over and led them down a road and followed it. It eventually led to a little town.

"I can pay for the rooms. I just got paid." Zrada said. "So don't worry about it." she smiled and opened the door for them.

This was the start of the party. It started with a mansion and now was going strong. They had all their members... or did they...
