Chapter 3: Sleep


Riverun
The Twins



Constructed on the highest point of a cliff and near a river and a water falls, the town of Riverun is home to mixed races. The town itself looks very plain. With its maple wood rooftops, yew wood walls and canyons, Riverun has a drunk and wild atmosphere. The main attraction are the Inns, bars and the brothels. Riverun has a progressing economy, which is mainly supported by brewery and whoring.

The Inn keeper approached Agnes and asked her, "So dear what can I get you?"

Meanwhile, two hooded travelers arrived in Riverun moments after Agnes did. They were taller than most of the other races and they had a dark blue skin complexion and horns, suggesting that they were Delva. The two entered the Inn and walked around, like they were looking for someone before settling in a table at the corner of the establishment. They didn't recognize Agnes because of her hat and her short hair. Upon sitting down, they removed their hoods and surely enough they were Delva.

They were the infamous Delva twins, sent by their clan to track and retrieve the stolen Relic of their people, the Devil's Jewel. They were able to track Agnes here, following the path of destruction that she's laid out for them, starting in the Docks of Union City, Drakestone City, and then Hellsgard.

Agnes has lost 2000 Gil

The Inn Keeper was delighted with the amount of money Agnes gave her. She cheerfully nodded and said, "Yes this is quite enough thank you! I'll have your order, your bath and your room fixed right away!"

She gestured her attendants to move quickly, as if to treat a VIP guest. It didn't take long before her meal was on her table and a glass of ice cold water. The Inn Keeper delivered the meal herself and was smiling at Agnes' generosity. "Your room and bath should be ready after your meal miss. Would there be anything else?" she asked.

Meanwhile the two Delvas were starting to notice Agnes because of her seemingly VIP treatment. They decided to observe at first, not wanting to jump the gun. If she is as powerful as she is rumored to be, then the Twins would have to take extra precaution in dealing with her.

The Delva twins waited for Agnes to get settled before putting their plan into action. They were being extra cautious as the person they were chasing was said to be very powerful despite her age. They left he Inn and from a distance, used Conjuration Magic to test whether or not the person they were after was the girl in the Inn. One of the twins conjured an Earth elemental spirit and had it burrow itself underground and make it's way to where Agnes is.

They didn't stand idly by though while waiting for the Conjuration to attack Agnes the twins set up traps around Riverun to make sure that the girl, should she prove to be the person they were looking for and try to escape.

As Agnes lay asleep in the bathtub, a tremor suddenly shook the ground beneath the Inn. The guests and staff were startled and braced for what they thought was an earthquake. The tremor was strong enough to wake Agnes. A crack was starting to open up in the floor of her bathroom. The Inn was shaking violently, causing several items from the shelves to drop and break on the ground.

The tremors died down for a moment and then, suddenly the ground exploded upward, and a large Earth Troll came out from it.

Imminent Battle! 

WARMING! This is a DEATHMATCH Battle!

Riverun
The Twins

The village's peaceful atmosphere was disturbed by the sudden out burst of violence at the local Inn. Agnes made the right choice escaping from that fight. The troll was more than she could handle without the help of her demon, Nero. The twins watched with great intrigue as the young mage fled from the Inn. Realizing that she was a mage, the twins had more reason to believe that Agnes is the person they've been looking for. They've already set up traps around the village to prevent anyone from escaping.

The chances of Agnes winning this fight was very slim, she couldn't even beat a Conjured Troll, what more when she faces the twins. No doubt when the time comes, they have more than one Conjuration plus themselves. The numbers are stacked against the young girl, but could the tables turn once she transforms into Nero?

The twins chased Agnes wherever she went. The Earth Troll Conjuration was already dismissed by the twins to save energy. Their plan was to flush Agnes out after determining if she was their target or not. The were lucky that Agnes stayed and fought as long as she did before running, because now the girl was tired and injured making their job a lot easier.

It looks like despite the immense power of Agnes and her Demon, she was still no match against the Twins. The battle was hard fought but ultimately the end result was as expected. The intense battle left some parts of Riverun in flames. The villagers were too scared to interfere they could only watch in the distance as the 3 combatants destroyed their town.

The person whom the twins worked for is a master of the Devil's Jewel. Seeing as how the relic has already fused itself with Agnes, the twins decided to take her alive and bring her back to Doragul. They captured Agnes in a spell binding cage and used a Conjuration spell to summon 3 large winged beast, one for each of the twins and one to carry Agnes and her tiny portable cell. They rode their flying beasts and flew north to their stronghold in Arcwind.
