"So,tell me of yourself young lad" the shadow like creature said after a while
"Young lad?.How old are you?"Fenrir asked in response
"hmmm.Well in this universe with it's current timeline I'm 90,or at least that is my guess"
"You are from another universe and timeline?You can time travel?"
"No,not me.My master cast a spell while in combat with some corrupted bronze dragon,and there were some complications which I just so happen to get caught up in.Not the first time this has happened to me.My master has a habit of messing stuff up with his magic.My original age is 76.But enough of me,I asked about you."
"Bronze dragons?different universes?Alternative timelines?Time magic?Corruption?.Just when I thought things couldn't get weirder"He then added "My name is Fenrir,that's my sister,Aphrodite.I'm 17,she's 11.Anything else you want to know?"
"Aphrodite?Reminds me of a goddess my master once encountered in another universe.Very strange place.That Hades guy was not so inviting.Also,your name reminds me of a wolf of another time as well.I do believe I engaged in a staring contest with a fellow named Lokir...Anyhow,that is enough information for me,I won't press you further"
"No offense,but you make my head hurt with all your odd talking' Fenrir said
"Understandable"The shadow responded
"Mister,have you seen a unicorn?" came the unexpected question from Aphrodite
"I do believe I rode one at a time.It was the only way to escape the meteor shower"
"Your strange" Fenrir said
"Noted" came the response
After a while of walking the shadow being cleared his throat
"Fenrir,how did you get here?"
"No idea.Just woke up"
"Ah,odd.Were you tested in any way?"
"There was some sort of test,yes"
"We better be ready then,it's very likely that we will be tested again after this tunnel.Did you see any creatures?"
"Just this weird,large tentacled creature.Horrible."
"Like this?" the shadow conjured up a image of a Illithid
"No"
"That's what I thought.It's not like them to appear above the ground like that.How about this"he says while conjuring up a image of a faceless one
"Yes,except it had a different body"
"Aye,there are different variants of them.Spent most of my existence fighting them,their allies and their masters"
"Can you kill them,should more appear?"
"Aye,like I said,I spent a lot of time fighting them.I have faced every type of them that I know of.They are our arch-enemies"
"Us,or are you referring to your kind?"
"They are a threat to all life,their masters wishes to bring all life to a end.They once succeeded to bring a end to all life on a planet close to my master's heart.We the struggled to restore it.We have clashed numerous times.My master has defeated all known ones close to this place.However,there are more.and they have masters as well.It's a endless battle,considering we don't die of age and they are insanely powerful nor do they die of age either"
"So you are immortal?"
"In terms of age,yes.But I can die,same as you"
"Do you think there will be more of those things here?
"Very,very likely. Wouldn't be surprised if there are a large group around here somewhere,along with a commander or captain"
"So tell me about more of your adventures"
"I thought it made your head hurt?"
"Yeah,but now I'm curious"
"I have a lot to tell about.Like the time we spent 10 years locked in combat on a torn apart planet.The tale of how we took our home world,our battles against the demon army know as the Legion,the event known as the The Second Multiverse war,the domination of the soulflayer,the Cake War...."
"Tell me about the latest one,the one with the corrupt dragon"
"Ah yes,it's quite a tale.It will take some time to tell"
"Well,we have been walking for a while now and I have yet to see a end of this tunnel.The tale will provide some entertainment and maybe make time pass faster"
"Well,literally time won't go faster,but I know what you mean.Anyhow,let's begin"
"It all started 15 moons ago,in that universe of course.My master was to meet up with a ambassador from the bronze dragonflight.My master expected a female one with the name of Chronormu,or Chromie as most people prefer to call her.She did not show up however,instead this douchebag we have never seen before shows up.We did not think too much of it,and simply assumed that they got a new one.My master however,seemed very suspicious.He asked the ambassador his name,to which he replied that he has no wish to reveal his identity.This made the rest of us a bit suspicious as well,but we still didn't care too much.
My master then asked the ambassador why Chromie didn't come to which he replied that she was not well.My master decided to just 'go with it' and they continued their business.Throughout the entire meeting the ambassador was very shady and gave odd or indirect answers.My master finally snapped and grabbed the poor sod by the throat and demanded he answer all his question directly and honestly without any excuses.I wanted to say that he wasn't acting very diplomatic.But then,the ambassador transformed into his dragon form,bursting free.What we saw was no ordinary bronze dragon however.It has two headed,and it's bronze scales where a very light shade,almost pale.It's bones could also be seen poking out on certain spots,as well as a few spots where his flesh stuck out and was rotting.He immediately teleported away
A few days past,until 2 moons ago.My master set out again,saying that he saw another one of the dragons nearby.I followed him to the location,where the dragon had decided to land and face my master directly.A battle ensued and after a while my master started casting a spell to capture the dragon,who in response send a spike of rocks in our direction.My master jumped in the air,still casting the spell.I however,was not in time to dodge it and was flung into the air by it.Unfortunately for me,I was caught in the blast radius of my master's spell and the dragon's counterattack,a breath of energy that I've never seen before.
And so I ended up below the ground here,forced to fight against Illithid until I saw a explosion.I defeated the remaining Illithid and climbed out.and you know the rest.And that's the story,not exactly well told,sorry.But I was rushing it a bit,since I don't really like story telling.Which is odd,as one would assume a person with as many stories as I do would be eager to tell them."
Fenrir took a deep breath before replying "What do you think corrupted them?"
"I have a few ideas,but I don't know for sure"
"Do you think your master won?"
"Yes,he is a tough old fool"
"How old is he?"
"He likes to claim that he is 500 years old,but I doubt that is his real age.He possess a lot of knowledge and is very experienced,far too much to be that young"
"You make it sound like he is very young"
"For you he may sound old,but considering that we don't die of age,it's not that old.Like I said,especially not considering his knowledge and experience"
"He must be very powerful"
"He is,extremely.I've seen him level entire cities with his magic.In fact,during one of our wars,he made our entire city fly.It was very impressive"
"Is he tall?"
"Well,he can change his size.He usually appears 15ft tall,so that he is still huge but small enough to step on people of buildings.It also allows him to better communicate with his people.During meetings with regular people and when in smaller areas,he appears around 8ft tall.I have seen him much bigger though,when battling giant creatures and god-like beings"
"That's damn tall.Is he the same type of creature as you?"
"No,he is a eredar,a type of demon."
"Demons exist?"
"Aye,most of the faction I am part of are."
"My definition of reality has been completely screwed over."
"Well,you better not get used to it.While in my company,things can only get wilder"
