As they exit the caves, under the night sky, and then Roman and Anas start arguing.
"Never, in a millennia did I think I would be paired up with a Dark Elf!"
"Well how about this, fuck you, I don't care about what you want! I just want you to see with your thick skull that the King is a crooked piece of shit!"
"I was only entertaining it because I wanted to. There is nothing that could convince me to turn my back on the King" "Look asshole, I have a poison that is deadly to your kind!" "What are you blabbering about, "my kind", I am still a human!" "Don't you bullshit me! I know about your kind. We took drops of your blood while you where unconscious, your DNA matches up with that of a Titan"
"You son of a-, wait, how do you have the technology to find my ancestors!?"
"Ancient technology plus, you're extremely tall, even taller than the elves and dark elves". "Whatever, let's just mount he steeds".
So they mount their steeds and start traveling. "Where should we go to, oh wise one", Roman says sarcastically. Anas pushes him off his steed, "There's where you'll be going for your immaturity". They ride off to the fortress where they shall commence this plan. "Okay, listen closely, I am going to kill one of the guards and were their armor while you walk in there nonchalantly. When no one is looking, you and I shall call you over to uncover his secrets", "Alright, but quick question. Is there such thing as being chalant?".
Roman walks into the fortress and calls over Raymond. "There you are! Where the hell we're you?" "Kicking ass and taking names" "Sounds fun" "Anyway Raymond, so I was paired up with this Dark Elf right. So the Dark Elf mistress of the Boreal Forest District, captured me and told me that… - actually we should go somewhere more private" They head near the moat where Roman spills this secret, whispering, "So as I was saying, they told me that the King is a crooked piece of shit, so I was like "What evidence do you have?", they said the King likes to sacrifice the souls of his men to interdimensional gods so they could reek havoc in our dimension like some rude guest, kicking their feet on your table."
"You sure they're not just talking out their necks?" "Yes, but no, I do have my suspicions about the King too". Just then, Anas waves at them, "Follow me just in case", "You told your brother? Good, he must see this too" They follow her into a large room, unlock a hidden pathway and tred down several flights of stairs, using a spell to silence their footsteps, until they reach the bottom, where they see the horrific sight.
Piles upon piles of dead bodies, pillars covered with blood, and banners hanging from the ceiling, and in the middle, the Undead Chalice with a green, glowing aura. The King stands in the center of this scene, talking to the banners. "Oh Elders, you shall have your dominion once again, soon." They rush up the stairs, leaving not a single trace, "So do you see what we were telling you about?", Anas whispers. The twins, both in disbelief, Raymond still puzzled and horrified, "I'm unsure what to do now" "You go and tell the others, hurry before the King puts them up for offerings".
"What are you speaking of?", asks a voice. "Dammit! It's Samson", "Look, we are going to let you in on something, the King has been sacrificing his men to a race of interdimensional gods, telling them that they shall have dominion over this dimension". "Well, I have had my suspicions for a while, even some of the knights here have had suspicions."
"Well, I thought I was the only one who had suspicions", "I'm still in shock", "You'll get used to it", says Roman. "Anyways, Samson warn your sister", says Anas, "How do you know that I have a sister?", "The dark elves keep files on almost all of you". Samson rushes to find his sister as the others converse. "So, you two, we may have gotten off on the wrong foot, however I want to start over again since we have a sort of common goal".
"Okay then, my name is Roman Marcellus. We shall help each other only as allies and only that!", "It's fine by me, I am Anas Forlos."
