Quest 2: The Magician
Continuation of the previous post || next post
The ship sailed a quiet voyage on its way home back to Haven, while Captain Jane was celebrating with heaps of gold and jewels provided by the kobolds, Vyse was quite quiet and spent most their time sitting by the railing and looking out towards the sea. Oatmeal and Evan were frustrated that any of this had happened but they couldn't help but feel sorry for the kobold and tried to approach them kindly.
"Heeey, are you feeling okay?" Evan pushed, but to little response except a heavy sigh. The two of them sat down next to Vyse on each side and showed their concern. After a few minutes of thinking what to say the kobold finally spoke. "I didn't do it for me, you know... I didn't steal those weapons for myself".
Vyse grew up in Haven alongside a pack of 29 other kobolds, a community of miners living in the slums who barely got by with their hard work. Different kobolds fill different roles and Vyse was no different, being a tunebold they were geared for writing and counting and keeping track of how many gems and gold the pack managed to gather. While their work partner and best friend was regularly sent into the mines and brought back treasures for Vyse to count, she was a klyvebold after all. They were the best of friends, truly inseparable for all the years they spent together.
They had their aspirations outside the colony, something the two of them would frequently encourage each other to pursue. Vyse wanted to become a magician and loved to hear friends cheer them on and compliment them, while their friend was infatuated with the idea of going out there on adventure and making a name for herself, she even made her own sword with some encouragement!
The years passed by and the two of them had an unbreakable bond as being the only trans kobolds of the pack, but the friendship was put on hold as the day their friend finally set out on a journey was finally here. Vyse wanted to go with, but was all too scared of what's out there and stayed behind. Vyse parted ways by offering their friend their most prized possession; their golden hair bangle. Something the klyvebold would later attach to her tail as a constant reminder of her friend. It was not the only parting gift, with the help of a sly friend the klyvebold gifted Vyse a magic wand, even with a hand strap attached so they'd never lose it! The goodbye was infinite, but it was not to last and they parted ways. Vyse was left all alone, they never heard back from her. Countless days and nights were spent wondering if she was okay.
The tribe of kobolds moved to kobold rock a few months after the departure, and Vyse's best way of coping was doing what they thought their friend would have wanted them to do, pursue their dream. Vyse never gave up performing for others and taught themselves more and more magic tricks. Vyse would teach themselves magic for years to come, eventually becoming quite good but lacking some refinement. Their combination of show and perceived wisdom gave them a bit of a status at kobold rock, eventually they'd have fellow kobolds bringing them gifts as a thank you. Once presented with a sword made of rare metal something triggered within Vyse, they wanted more of these, way way more, they have to find the perfect one, the perfect sword.
They couldn't shake the feeling that their friend met an unfortunate end or perhaps got into trouble, are they scraping by out there? Are they still out there?? Vyse has to collect weapons, yes strong powerful weapons fit for their friend, they want nothing more than for them to be protected. They need Vyse's help...
Vyse's obsession with gifting their friend the perfect weapon led them to hoarding, a rare instinct found in kobolds where collecting something of deep meaning to them will trigger a transformation within them; Dragonificiation. Vyse was the first kobold in decades to become a dragon at kobold rock and they were praised and loved for it, they really did become a celebrity and their hoard only grew and grew...
"I did it for her, I did it for my friend, I don't even know if she's still alive out there and it hurts so much" Vyse wrapped up their story and started crying, with Oatmeal patting their back and Evan bawling his eyes out. The two of them gave Vyse a big hug and told them everything is gonna be okay. Vyse wasn't a bad guy at all, they were just misguided.
Evan piped up, "sniff, you know, I'm sure Heidi won't be upset with her sword being taken once you give it back to her, I even bet you she could teach you more about magic!". Vyse wiped their tears away with their scarf, "snf, really? Really really?". Evan stood up proud with a hand on his chest and his eyes irritated with tears still flowing down his cheeks, "Yes absolutely! *Sniff* She might be a bit scary but deep down she is nothing but a sweetheart". Oatmeal joined in on the bravado, "yeah dude!! And I bet Noah could teach you lots of healing stuff too!"
Vyse had the most startling reaction, "Did, did you say Noah? A healer named Noah?? This Noah wouldn't perchance have fluffy droopy ears and brown fur would he? An unusually big kobold too?". Evan and Oatmeal nodded, "Hell yeah dude that's him! Do you know him??". Vyse suddenly exploded with joy and leapt into the air! "He's alive, he's alive! If Noah is fine then, then Laura must be too!!". This went on for a few hours, Vyse continued to do flips and cartwheels for about an hour on end before finally calming down. 7 years of worrying suddenly washed off them and they felt wonderful!!
Tadaaa! KOBOLDS FOR YOU, plus a more tragic look into Vyse! Though I promise it will be mostly goofy shenanigans from now on haha, I don't know if I can take it seeing or reading Vyse sad again ;;
And yes surprise! Vyse and my sona are life long friends :3
And for transparency's sake, considering I am implying this to be a flashback, we are both 18 in these pictures.
