New world chapter 7: Black Dragon

by Eryn Amakiir

I...We may have lost Reeze.
 
I tried I was blasting firebolts at that frozen lake like crazy, But it appears the lake was completely frozen from top to bottom I was going to bust out the bigger spells however Morvius pulled me back telling me there was nothing we could do for now.
 
I lost track of what happened mostly overcome with sadness towards the disappearance of Reeze and anger towards these lizard men who were clearly to blame for what happened.
 
We ran towards another building across the frozen lake doing what we could to keep the lizard people off of us I'm not sure what happened to her but we also lost Zuni in the heat of the moment.
 
We fought some ogres and I could sense a few eyes on me when it appeared I was not showing any form of mercy for these things attacking us... I could even feel the spells words tasting like poison as they came out of my mouth.
 
They deserve it... They killed my friend...
 
Morvius Maple and I were the only ones to make it out of there that I know of and retreated to a great oak tree.
 
I tried to search through any books I had on me that could even begin to tell me what might have happened to Reeze But was interrupted by a black dragon flying by us.
 
I knew it would be a bad idea but Morvius and Maple decided to fire upon the dragon anyway I decided to help as I used countless spells in my arsenal and we all began chasing it down Maple and Syrup ahead of us.
 
This turned out to be a trap and Maple was bombarded with enemies and almost taken out along with Syrup.
 
Morvius and I arrived and quickly dispatched the lizardfolk, but the dragon managed to slink away like a coward.
 
It was that point we saw 4 griffins with riders on their backs as they landed next to us they were all elves so I could only assume these were the elves of the woods we have heard rumours about.
 
They seemed to like Maple just fine, but they took one look at me when I was talking and called me a race traitor.
 
I did not know how I have betrayed my kind, but they told me that because I did not grow to understand the teachings of the fey wilds and their culture I was a traitor to all of elven kind.
 
If they are as snobby as they are I would prefer to be where I am it's not like I had a choice where I was born... or brought too. The only place I've really ever fully known is Bluefield and the Library.
 
They send two of their griffin riders to investigate where the black dragon was headed, but after they hadn't returned we went after them and found them viciously mauled by a Dragon/Hobgoblin abomination we had seen before.
 
We dispatched of it and later noticed a body floating in the lake that used to be frozen my hopes rose as I thought that maybe it was Reeze however when we got the body to shore it was I would like to say a half elf however I am not good at telling the difference between certain kinds of elves.
 
Her arm was badly broken so I immediately cast prestidigitation on it to clean the wound and stop any infections from spreading, Then after relocating the arm I splinted and bandaged it up just how Cyrus taught me when he got into well a bit of a vicious bar brawl and I had to fix him up.
 
The elves told us they will take us to their village and as I fly on one of the Griffins I am writing this... I really didn't want to while Reeze was gone but I need to write everything down because we will need to look back on this situation one day and make sense of it.
 
Just please I don't care who it is just make sure Reeze is safe we already lost Artie we can't lose her too.
