Legend Of Vox Machina x OC

Chapter 2

Emrys sat beside Percy. A bit away from the fire. Might as well since she's practically an outsider. She knows she makes them uncomfortable, but Percy was the only one who didn't bug her about her immortality, apparently. Which was surprising seeing as he's quite the scholar.

She tried to lie earlier and say that a potion had broken on her and slowly healed her, but neither Vex nor Vax believed her. So she was forced to say the truth. She was CURSED. Dun dun dun. Actually, she doesn't know how it happened. Just that she died one day and came back. Also, her aging is much slower than it should be for a human. By now, she should've at least fifty, but she looks around twenty. "Emrys." Keyleth spoke up. All eyes on the blue pink haired girl. Her eyes snapped to the gentle half elf girl. "What was your strangest monster you've ever faced?" She asked quickly.

Vex sighed annoyingly. "It's probably gonna be some weak creature like a boar or something like that." She insulted. Emrys stared at her with a completely blank stare. "Tha strangest creature I've faced would have to be an immature Lamia." All eyes snapped to her. "You survived a Lamia?" Scanlan asked. Amazement in his eyes. "Yes. It was not yet mature enough to use its ability, so it was fairly easy." Emrys explained. Vex was not impressed. "So Emrys. Where are you from?" Keyleth asked quickly. Noticing the vibe Vex was giving off.

"At first, I was raised by swamp elves." All eyes on her, even Percy. "They exist? I had never heard of that." Scanlan spoke aloud. "I've heard of them, just never seen one." Vax said. "You were raised by them? How is that possible? The elves we know would never raise a human child." Vex could not understand why. "Oh, they're much kinder, but it helps that they're blind." Everyone gasped. "Blind elves? What happened?" Keyleth asked quickly. Worried about the swamp elves. "Evolution happened. They had to adapt to the environment they were stuck in. So, they had traded their dark vision for blind vision. Their skin is also darker and tougher than normal elves. They also have shorter life spans. Longer than humans, but not as long as a normal elf." Scanlan was writing this down quickly.

"After living there for some time, I was taken to Vasselheim to learn more skills. I lived there for about ten years. So I guess both are my homes." Emrys explained. "Taken to Vasselheim? Did they take you there?" Percy asked. "Yes. One of my friends and their dad took us. The dad went back while my friend and I learned some stuff while we were there. She should be a fully grown monk now." Emrys explained. Keyleth looked hyped. "That sounds awesome. Friends with a monk." Vax huffed. "Everyone can do what monks can do." He sounded annoyed.

"Can you take down a guy in one punch?" Emrys asked almost smuggly. Grog raised his hand and started shouting. "Oh! Oh! I can!" The others kind of chuckled at his reaction. "I think it's time we should rest." Vex stated as she got up. Moving away from the fire. Emrys held the lyre close as she glanced around. Deciding to lay close to the fire. Everyone else was getting situated.

Taking a breath, she closed her eyes. Forcing herself to fall into sleeps, gentle hands. Pretending to sleep was easy. Actually, trying to sleep nowadays was the hardest thing in the world. She could hear Vex talk to Vax. Grog's snoring was the worst. Scanlan slowly tried scooting closer to Emrys but eventually was dragged back to his spot by an annoyed Vex who had later disappeared into the trees. She shivered as she held the lyre closer.

Once she helps them defeat the guy that technically did kill her, then she can go as she pleases. She can hear Percy spin his weapon his weapon as he remained deep in thought. 'How annoying.' She thought to herself as her consciousness finally left.

*Time skip*

Emrys stood beside Keyleth. Watching her try to help the tree. Everything lately has only gone to shit. Keyleth just wants to help the people's tree. Using a sunlight spell, accidentally caused to set it on fire. Said girl panicked and tried desperately to put it out. Vex stalking over, looking like she was about to murder her.
