Wren: so nex, tell me about you
Nex: no it is ok. I am a magical being and that is all there really is to tell
Wren: but where do you come from though?
Nex: I was not born, I was created by a very powerful entity. Now, let's be careful as goblins are in this area.
Just as that is said, a large group of goblins surrounds the group.
Lead goblin: surrender every valuable or we will kill you
Carter surrounds the group as the goblin gang emerges from the forest with knives and crossbows.
Nex(whispering): leave this to me
Nex jumps over Carter and towards the lead goblin.
Nex: do you know who I am?
Lead goblin: a loser probably
Nex (taking off their scythe necklace and letting the scythe grow to full size): I am the oncoming storm, slaughterer of goblins
Lead goblin(voice full of fear): RUN!!
The goblin gang immediately retreats as nex shoots lighting from the scythe, slaughtering most of the goblins
Nex(shouting): and stay away
Nex goes back to the group as they stand in awe. Nex just strokes prince whilhelm who was on their shoulder the whole time.
Jana: what was that?
Nex: oh nothing.
Carter: is it you?
Nex: yes it is
Wren: who?
Carter: tales of deaths child roam across this land. In the mountains are great cities that worshipped death in hopes that child would save them from goblins. Death sent that child...
Nex: and I destroyed most goblins. They retreated to the forest. However, when the time to pay me in souls for the saving, the city disobeyed and so I killed many of them.
Jana: that is awful, why would you do that?
Nex: it is who I am. I am the child of death after all. I tried to explain that they needed to pay or the goblins would come back as there would be a break in balance yet they did not listen.
Jana: so you had to do it?
Nex: yes. I hardly attach to a living thing. Prince whilhelm is an exception. I made him in my darkest hours and he gives me an emotion I have little of. I only ever had one being that I instantly had that emotion for but now I can never see them as they live in the mountain city. They were called peri. I can still love but only after a long time. With them, it was instant. I can not return to the mountain city or I will be murdered. I can still die but it takes a lot and I never age, only violence can kill me.
Wren: that sounds awful. We must go that way and we will find you peace with the people. We will find you peri.
Nex: thank you. Now, some lead the way, I hate being in charge.
The group journeys further through the forest.
