No, I mean that literally. Be careful what you wish for. We set off from the prison without much trouble, and encountered an interesting magical arena... apparently we were able to challenge ourselves to a fight. Or a mirror of ourselves. Either way, the opponent we fought was very much us. Even personality-wise, as evidenced by Carlton's mirror opponent being as strange and confusing as himself.
Three of us fought against ourselves. Carlton, Krastus, and myself. We all won our battles and were granted, of all things, a wish. Carlton wished his evil twin brother into existence, but as a good person. Krastus wished to understand his magic better. And I decided to wish for physical strength.
Nothing happened to Carlton. But we later found out there is a twin known as Barton and he is very beloved by the people around Kiera.Krastus, likewise, did not change in any obvious way.
Myself, however... well... it seems the wish granter decided the easiest way to make me stronger was to turn me into a Grael. Though I am startled every time I see my reflection, it is, decidedly, not a horrible affliction. I maintain most of my wits, though it's hard to remember if I've forgotten things, though Grael have a reputation for stupidity.
We proceeded to Terras, and landed far from the town and made our way over land. Running into a patrol that we did not hide from very well... in fact, we were saved by two things. The first being they mistook Carlton for this strange good-fellow named Barton Grey. And the other being they are terrified of Krastus, who apparently is named the Crazed Criminal and they have developed specific tactics in dealing with his magic.
The town of Terras is not a pleasant one. It is clearly being used as some sort of forced labor. Whether that is paid or pure slavery I cannot say, but we may still find people to rescue. If we can get in. So we've returned to Kiera to find a way in. As lumber traders, I hope. Or maybe I don't hope that. I'm not sure what to think anymore. But we must rescue this man and maybe put a dent in this evil that Kiera is up to.
