I'm Surrounded by Idiots

by Cassaelia Caeli

Where the hell do I start.
 
When I got on that train, I thought I knew what I was getting into. Find sources of Grey, report them before they spread too far, maybe kill some monsters. Work alone. Or at least as alone as I can get with the insect tailing me around every corner.
 
I noticed that drake the second we got on the train. I mean, who couldn't? Who wears a suit of armour onto a bloody train? In any case, he apparently made a friend, since Slate later managed to yell loud enough to attract her attention. At least she seemed to get the message and left us alone. I don't even remember what they talked about, I just know it made me want to vomit.
 
Well, there was our fated meeting of the stars. Turns out I got to Wolfpine too late to stop the Grey from killing a few kids. Before I know it, I have these two idiots tailing me on a quest to clear out the cave or whatever the hell. It's all about standard until we find the dying wizard and locate the source of the Grey in this weird crypt. That aside, it turns out he has a lead to some artifact that could resist the Grey. How bloody convenient. Not really my problem, but Slate wanted to and if he blabs to the big guy in the sky I'll probably get cursed to ash, so guess I'm part of an adventuring party now! Fun.
 
The grand cast:
 
Me: I really don't want to be here.
 
Slate: Annoying bug.
 
Vela: This unicorn seems to think her pretty hide makes her special. I don't know what her problem is. I realize my powers could be scary, but I didn't need her in my face after I helped save her life from those seekers. In any case, there's more to that sweet little persona than she lets on, that's for sure.
 
Kadoren: Big red dragon brute. I guess he's blocked a few hits for me, so he's not the worst. He doesn't say much, though.
 
So we have an irritating insect who never shuts up, an overly aggressive unicorn, and a big old beast who can't speak two words. Guess how much fun I'm having.
 
Times like this I almost wish I could go home.
