New friends or future enemies...

by Khloff

After I stumbled out of the cave I met my "savior", a girl by the name of Kyrith smithy, it seems that this gauntlet on my left arm was her creation, and she was looking for a "worthy vessel" for almost 2 years now, from what I understood the gem on the gauntlet is actually an entity trapped there, and it decided to keep me alive thanks to our interests in common... things aren't clear for me yet but it seems she's useful, despiste the crazy spark on her eyes I cannot deny the strenght of the steel on my arm, we sleep on the forest that day and pack stuff on the break of dawn, it seems there's still heat on us after the whole raid thing so we decide it's better to look for another place to settle for the time being, I'm not particularly sure why but I feel strongly drawn towards the mountains of earthspur so we decide to hitch a ride on a caravan there, we managed to find one just north of Valls that would follow the great Impharas River to klikkeput, It seemed to be a small enough city to start a new life or to pass the time until we figure out what to do, on the way there the caravan make a stop to get a monk on his pilgrimage he ends up on our cart, seems like a very day-to-day kind of guy, very shortly after there's another stop, I look over to see a shadowy figure passing some coins to the caravan master and coming over to our cart, I try to keep to myself but they all seem to be getting a long, I phase out for a moment and I hear my patron saying: "They have potential, use it", when I returned from my lapse they were all playing some card game together, I decide to join in and get to known them, it seems they are all looking to go to klikkeput, I don't ask too much about their reasons, I have mine, and I'm sure they have their's, we decide to start a party, despiste diverging objectives it would seem our path allign very well, four people are better at staying alive than only two, the journey take a little under a week but finally klikkeput is on sight, I wonder how long until I can go back and hunt down those dammed cultists who betrayed us.
