The city of the lake

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"A name," Thought said, angered. "I want your name."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

The voice laughed again. "Fine. My name is Tom Joebob."

There was a pause.

"Happy?"

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"We've heard of you. What do you want with me?"

[beantheboy12 he/him]

AJ paled and looked at Thought.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

The voice chuckled. "So proud. You haven't changed much, even after five thousand years. Then again, I suppose I haven't, either..."

A figure melted from the shadows across the street, turning keen eyes toward the humble inn. Oradon had received a large sum and a short note from an anonymous employer. 8 simple words.

"Destroy the vessel of the Shard of Thought."

[beantheboy12 he/him]

AJ covered the phone and said Thought, “I don’t like this. The fact that he knows where we are and called this phone.”

Hey @The Cartographer, do you have any plan behind that character of yours?

Spoiler

I was thinking I would attack the pair, probably fail against an Epic, then eventually slowly help them unravel how to get the Shard back and if it's connected to who hired me.

SepLar walked through the streets of the city, armor out and gun slung over her shoulder. 

Well, this is not what I expected at the bottom of the lake. 

"Well, what did you expect?" 

Maybe some ruins or something. I dunno, but not this. 

"I'm not too surprised by a city. What startles me who lives here."

She continued to walk, studying the map that a shady looking man had scribbled for her. It suposedly led to the inn where her the pair was staying.

"I don't like it either, but there's not much we can do about it at the moment."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

A muffled "Hello?" issued from the phone.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Hang up," Thought said to AJ.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"I would recommend not doing that."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"And why would that be?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

The voice snorted. "For one, it wouldn't do any good."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"And what good would staying on do? You haven't shown me any reason why I should listen to you."

[old man moomba he/him]

SepLar looked at the name written on her map, then back at the inn. They were the same. If the shady informant was to be trusted, this was the inn where the Epic and his friend were staying at. She directed the Armorings on her head to retract, revealing her face and stepped inside. 

She flagged down the innkeeper.

"Yes?" the plump man asked

"I'm looking for a man and a woman. They would have checked in not too long ago. I need to know where they are."

"Ah I know them. Why do you need to know this?" 

"None of your concern."

The innkeeper started to respond but then decided otherwise. 

"Um... they're upstairs, third room on the left."

"That wasn't too hard, was it. Thank you for your time." 

She handed the man a few notes and went upstairs. Quickly finding the third door on the left, she unslung her rifle, braced it against her shoulder, and kicked the door open. 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Fair enough. I won't waste your time any longer." The voice paused. "I want you, Tamika."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Want me for-" The door burst open. Thought whirled around. She paused. "You. I remember you."

[beantheboy12 he/him]

AJ stood up and focused on the crack in the ceiling. He created a portal and grabbed his gun. “What do you want? Didn’t I save you?”

Oradon watched as the woman crashes into the inn. Cursing, he leaped through the door and followed her up the stairs, barreling into the room after she did, burning pewter and ready to draw upon his metalminds at any time. His pistol quickly found it's way into his hand.
