You and Eve head off in the forest escaping the Knights of the Fifth Dragon. To kill the silence you ask Eve somethings about her. “So how did you end up in the North Island?” Eve grabbed her arms and got a look of deep thought on her face. “I was young only 23 still a child by Elf standers but my tribe was murdered and nearly wiped out by a band of human settlers. I was spared because of my natural beauty and sold into slavery years later I ended up in the middle grounds where a wealthy Orintash tribes man bought me and other elves out of slavery. I been with them until I was of age then asked to be married to the tribes leaders son. I just couldn’t do it. I always been a free spirit even during my enslavement I was trapped but not my mind or soul. I just couldn’t see myself trapped again in a marriage with a man I didn’t love so I ran away after years of traveling threw out the Midlands I wound up here in the North Island and found Grace with her husband arguing with a old one about a unpaid sum of gold fiestas and they took me in after I helped them win the argument by saying I was witness to the agreed sum and haven’t seen my cut yet. The old one was so surprised she nearly passed out but pained us all off to avoid scandal.”

You think about your travels. “I was born here in Knotsvill with my Pa,mom,and sister they all died except my sister she is out killing bandits last I heard it’s good to hear she doing well.” The conversation ended when you saw the Behemoth man standing alone in the forest. “Hey pretty elf lady where ya think ya taking my bounty?” The fat man asked as he nose whistled as he spoke. “Fat man out my way.” You tell him as you reach for your axe.

“What I say about touching my people?” Johnny said chewing a new straw of hay while sitting on a tree branch up above the fat man. “Bunkosh kill the knight don’t hold back anymore.” The behemoth laughed as his girth seemed to expand to an unholy size. The fat man got twice as big and was shapeless nothing more then a moving blob of fat with unfamiliar speed it came to swallow you up. Eve jumped back and got onto a tree branch and fired arrows at it only to have her arrows sink into the blob.

You dive out the way and start to bless your axe with A kings watch spell and your axe clicked and grew twice as large. The blob moved so fast knocking trees down and chasing you around the forest. “What’s a matter Knight can’t sucker punch ya way out of this one can you?” The blob spoke in a gurgling tone. You jump on a rock and leap at the blob driving your blessed axe down chopping the blob in two.

The blob stopped moving as your axe was embedded into it. Your axe rises from the blob then the blob transforms back into the normal behemoth. “Devils mark broken.” You whisper as the hexted man flops on his back on the ground and starts to foam bubbles out of his mouth eye rolled into the back of his head.

Johnny smiled at you and then spat his straw of hay at you it shot out like a sharp dart and cut your cheek open sending drips of blood on the forest ground. “Your a hard man to kill knight. Even so I will kill you.” Johnny said as he slinked down from the branch. “Not tonight though once I have my men here you won’t live for long. So enjoy your brief time in this reality for it won’t be long.” As a huge gust of wind blew threw the forest both Johnny and Bunkosh disappeared into a purple mist that enveloped the both of them and left the air heavy with magic.

Eve jumps down from the tree as you pull her along before they come back. Once you reach the camp you pour purification salt around the camp and bless it. “Them thugs were hexted did you know about there condition?” You ask Eve as you start a fire to cook the boar meat you have. “No. I didn’t know about them being hexted. The first hexted human I saw was back near the Orintash tribe a beautiful woman. At least she was until the hex took hold then she became this tentacle monstrosity. She was a slave like me but human so the tribe didn’t buy her freedom. We became friends during our travels from my old tribe to the Midlands. I still kept in touch with her in the market place. A Disciple came into town and hex her into a beast on one of our weekly meetings at the market place. It was horrible I still have nightmares about it she grew twice her size with large tentacles protruding from her body. She was attacking the marketplace I curled under a cart and wished for her to turn back to my friend but she just smashed the towns brick walls and killed men. She caught iron ball from cannon fire and flung it back at them. It took a whole garrison of guards to hack her down. Even then the madness that took her also took the men and it took more men to strike them down from their blood lust rampage.” Eve said as she stared into the fire.

“Well there hexted I won’t allow you to go back to town you must stay the night.” You tell Eve as you flip the meat around and hear it sizzle. “How do you know purification magic?” Eve asked while staring at the meat whose aroma was making her stomach growl.
