After that very vicious battle between Valgrim and saroas. Valgrim carefully carries saroas upstairs to the bartenders room in the tavern. Valgrim places saroas oh a chair. Saroas's unconscious body leans forward. But Valgrim sits him back up.

"Hey Valgrim I know this is a bad time to bring up but you know that chai-." Dust says

"Dust get me the chain my grandfather gave me." Valgrim says while using his foot to keep saroas siting up straight and struggling to reach for the chain his grandfather gave him.

"Yeah. That's the thing....it's a familiar." Dust says with regret of not telling him.

"Huh?" Valgrim says

The chain begins to slither its way too meet Valgrim face to face. Valgrim remains calm as a black snake with red glowing eyes is starring at him.

"Well hi there. Ummm can you tie this poor man up please?" Valgrim asked the snake. The snake does nothing.

"Umm Dust?" Valgrim says cautiously and confused

"Oh right. He speaks draconic." Dust replies.

"Oh fair enough." Valgrim says back

"shilta wux petranas tie jacion svern." Valgrim repeats in draconic.

The snake looks at saroas then turns into a chain and ties him. And Valgrim looks at Dust with a look of confusion.

"Umm so you can sense other familiars?" Valgrim asked Dust.

"Yes but. I tried to tell earlier but  you fighting keeps me from appearing into this world.

The bartender opened the door with saroas wings and place them on a table.

"So Valgrim was it? Yeah he's out cold I don't how but I don't think he will be getting up." The bartender says as he's placing saroas's wings on a table

"He's fine that fire ball drained him really good." Valgrim says as he examines saroas and seeing if he's still unconscious

"Ok well. I guess I should introduce myself my name is Troy. Troy thatcher." Troy as he extends his hand out.

Valgrim shake his hand and also introduce him to his familiar.

"This is Dust. And I guess this is my other familiar as well." Valgrim says as he's pointing to the chain.

"So what about him. He's still out like a light. And probably bleeding out." Troy says as he looks over to saroas

"Get me a bucket of water." Valgrim says as wonders over the sets of trophies in the room.

Troy left the room to find a bucket of water. And Valgrim stumbles across a photo of Troy and a familiar face on the photo. Valgrim sees a picture of his father.

Troy enters the room With a bucket of water. And sees Valgrim looking at the photo.

"See something familiar?" Troy asked Valgrim.

"This tiefling in this photo. Is he a friend of yours?" Valgrim replies back

"That? Oh Lokereus yeah he and I were brothers in arms as hunters. But sadly he's dead. I heard he and his wife and kid were murdered by a group of monsters." Troy says

"Well you're half right. This person is Lokereus kamarir. He's my father my full name is Valgrim kamarir." Valgrim says with a face of a little sadness but more proud.

"Well I'll be damed your are his son. Well like father like son. Now come on saroas is has something you might want." Troy says to Valgrim

Valgrim sticks his hand into the water bucket. And begins to use his elemental Attunement to boil the water. Since Valgrim is naturally resistant to fire he's unfazed by the heat. But he doesn't boil the water to hot to burn saroas. Valgrim also buts a sprig of mint in the water. Then placed the bucket in front of saroas.

"What are you-." Troy says before Valgrim interrupts him by raising his hand up.

Valgrim beings chanting a cantrip to make the steam move to saroas's nose. Saroas's eyes being stirring as Valgrim placed a chair backwards and sits in the chair.

Saroas starts to wake up and see a bucket of warm water in front of him. Then he looks up with the face of fatigue and confusion.

"What....where am I?" Saroas Says as he sees Valgrim giving him a stare of unamused.

"Well seeing how your not seeing your god rather a pissed off demon. Welcome to hell." Valgrim says sarcastically

"Why am I tied up. Untie me or so help me." Saroas Says angrily

"Well I can't. Not until you give me answers. Give the information I need you get to walk out here breathing. Give nothing but bull shit then I'll just kill right here." Valgrim says threatening saroas.

"Ok fine...what do you want to know?" Saroas Says as he is filled with fear

"Where is the nearest port from here." Valgrim asked saroas.

"Wait? You were going to leave?" Saroas asked Valgrim.

"Yes actually I was." Valgrim replies

"But why-." Saroas Says.

"Because he's getting revenge for his mother and father death." Troy says interrupting saroas.

"But why cooperate when you are a tiefling?" Saroas asked

"Boy you really do talk to much." Valgrim sighs of boredom

"Well the nearest port is not to far from here. But can I please be released from this binding?" Saroas asked

"Valgrim?" Troy looks over to valgrim.

"origato gethrisj" Valgrim says in draconic.

The chain released and turns into a snake and coils up around Valgrims wrist and turns into a chain arm brace with a ruby on it.

"Finally. And what about my wings?" Saroas asked

Valgrim raises his hand while his chin is on the chair. As his hand glows purple and waved his hand to mend his wings back on.

"Ok. What can I do in return for my rude behavior?" Saroas asked

"Well you can come with me." Valgrim suggested

"Ok I'm in." Troy says with a grin.

"Hmmm Very well." Saroas Says

"Awesome now lets get going. But first. I need to eat something." Valgrim says as his stomach growls

"Wait what do tieflings eat?" Saroas asked

"Well if he's like his father. He can an entire dire bear." Troy replied to saroas

"WAIT WHAT. You have to be ridiculous!?!" Saroas Says as he looks dumbfounded at the that Valgrim can eat a creature the size of a building.

"Actually I could but I was traveling without rest. So I really didn't stop walking." Valgrim says as he yawned

Troy took them both out back. Troy showed them a giant bear the size of the tavern lies dead And cooks It.

"Well there you Valgrim. Eat up your are kinda familySo here." Troy says

Troy looks over to saroas and doesn't see Valgrim.

"Where's Valgrim?" Troy asked saroas and sees saroas mouth opens to a gape and points over to the dire bare.

Troy turns around and the the tiefling sitting at the remains of the dire bares bones.

"Well shit. Like father like son." Troy chuckles.

Saroas face palms himself and mutters in celestial.

"I'm surrounded by idiots." Saroas Says shaking his head.
