The Quest

"We seek a necromancer in the Elmir Mountains. It is the only way to gain entrance to the world of the dead and slay Hel. Or perhaps even summon her to our realm, I do not know."

"This is a dark path you follow." Erik murmured staring into the fire.

"Not all that is dark is counted evil." Luna said.

"It might not be evil, but its all bloody creepy." Majvoc said earning him a thump in the arm from Tiella.

"I still do not understand what hold he has on you all." Erik pressed.

"The blame is mine." Balar said gruffly, "Truth be told this quest should be mine alone. I struck a deal with the bastard a life time ago to allow me to live a life that was not mine. To be with the woman I love."

"We made that oath together." Tiella said, resting a hand on her husbands arm.

"And remember the thief made his own bargain." Luna said.

"And that is my own business." Growled Majvoc and with that he got up and left the group by the fire.

"That one dances with shadows deeper than those of the elf girl." Kespin blurted out and they all turned to stare at him.

"Or perhaps he is just an idiot." the old man shrugged.
