The Champion's Guard

The Killbox

The great tree opened up to reveal one half of Vox Machina. Miel walked out, jumped down from the roots and stretched her arms up in the air. "Finally! Out of that hell hole" she grunted out as her arms lowered down

"And into another" Vex said as she walked up behind her, "don't forget that we still got giant fire breathing lizards to deal with" she placed her hand on her shoulder

"Oh, of course, I didn't forget" Miel chuckled lightly and the rest come up with them, "I just never expected to go back to that place, I'm happy it's gone"

"This place looks like its faring amazingly" Keyleth said, making everyone take a look around.

"Yes they are" Percy replied

Everyone in Whitestone looked like they were all faring well. Everyone was helping out each other and everyone looked like they were doing really great holding up.

"They're doing great" Miel said as they walked, "looks like they're being rational with the food and they're hiding from the chaos outside"

"Hiding?" Percy asked. Miel nodded and raised her hand outside the edge of Whitestone. Purple waves surrounded her wrist before she pulled her hand back in. "Well, that's reassuring"

"Let's head inside, see how everyone else is doing" Vax said as he grabbed Miel's hand and started walking away from the barrier. Everyone else nodded and followed Vax. Once inside Percy's old home, they looked for the others, until they heard Kima from another room.

"The dragons are on the move. They've already taken Emon and Westruun."

"Our defenses are holding steady for now, but Gimore and I will need help soon" they heard Allura

"Hiding the city was never meant to be a permanent solution" Keeper Yennen spoke

"I can't speak for Allura, but keeping this cloaking spell up is murder on my complexion" Gilmore spoke up

"I am fully aware of our situation" Cassandra said, "but for now, concealing Whitestone is the only way to protect it."

"Well, whatever you're doing, Cass, I'm pleased to see it's worked" Percy spoke up, making everyone gasp when they saw him and everyone else behind him

"Percy" Cassandra gasped

"Vox Machina. After four weeks, we'd started to give up hope" Allura said as Keyleth walked up to her

"Four weeks?" she asked, "we've only been gone three days"

"Yeah, the Fey Realm and my village may have fucked up with our time away from here" Miel groaned as she crossed her arms

"I hate the bloody Fea Realm" Percy rolled his eyes

"Well, despite your temporal hiccup, I'm relieved your back" Gilmore said as he stood and brought both Vax and Miel in for a hug. He then looked at what they were wearing, "Oh, and with a new look for the both of you"

"Something like that" Vax chuckled lightly

"Um, they come with long stories" Miel said as she patted Vax's arm, "happy to see you as well, Shaun"

"So, uh...Where's everyone else?" Kima asked, noticing the missing members

Keyleth started chuckling nervously, "funny story. I...kind of lost them. It's" she suddenly snorted and sat down with a pout, "it's really not that funny"

"We were separated from the others when Umbrasyl attacked" Vex explained

"They could be anywhere" Vax added

"Then perhaps I can help you find your friends" Allura spoke up. She then waved her arms and blue light emerged from the table in the middle, "Show me what is lost"
