Echoes of Arcana: Parting Ways

A short time had passed after our thrilling adventure, and we had settled back into our normal daily lives. Eamon, Vernon, and the Queen apologized for misleading us. I did not pardon them, but I had them owe me favors. They cannot refuse whatever I ask of them.

Additionally, I had the three confess why they chose to drag me into the storm. Although it had passed already, I couldn't settle knowing that I was fooled and had let myself be used. According to their confession, they only wanted my presence to stir the “Shadow Circle” into working with them to collect the artifacts and dominate the King, but their plan went awry when I did more than they expected. It made me laugh that I was blamed, but for the sake of trying to understand them, I acknowledge it. From then on, I decided to put up a fence when it comes to them.
