Interlude

in the city of senton, two adventurers were waking up.

"*yawn* why don't we go back to sleep?" said sialas

"because, we have to-" he was groggy, and had only now noticed the presence of the attractive female adventurer, when her barely clothed presence had awoken him.

"WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!"

she just smiled, not caring to react to his alarm at all.

"mine was cold, so i decided to sleep with you." she said this as if it made all the sense in the world, which made me want to punch myself.

"i get that, but why are you not in your nightgown, and- WHERE THE HELL DID YOU PUT MY CLOTHES, YOU SHE-DEVIL!"

"they were getting in the way, and i didn't want to wake, you, so i threw them out the window."

i looked at her with an unbelieving face, then looked out the window, and sure enough, there were my boots, trousers and shirt, all on the street.

"sialas..."

"Elon!" she shouted, giving me a flying hug, which made me blush even further. you probably don't know this, but she was a demi-human, of the cat variety, and had little care for the concept of 'privacy' and this was a regular occurrence even though i personally wish it wasn't. after sorting out the whole issue, (running down there and getting my clothes, then fetching some for Sialas from her room,) we went out to find some breakfast. on our way, however, we saw something strange.

an adventurer was sitting, actually tied, to his saddle, and was crying. the second thing you noticed about him was that he had no arms, tho the stumps were his arms ended were charred, and looked to have been done via fire magic.

"what happened to him?" i wondered out loud. we went over to listen to his story, and what we heard chilled our bones. but it made the adventurer in me scream out adventure.

"t-the demon in the cave did this! it killed salene with a single blow, then it ripped my arms off and fed one to me!"

i asked him, "what did it do with the other arm?" thinking that a demon that powerful probably ate human flesh.

at this, he turned very red, and looked down to his butt, then said. "i'd rather not say."

when i saw this, i felt horrified. i could guess what this poor, poor man had been through, and i did not envy him in the slightest. "what form did it take?" thinking that such a sadistic monster had to be many meters tall, and probably have fangs, or claws, or gills, or something else that screamed danger.

"it wasn't what you think." at this he looked even more disturbed. "it took the form of a little girl, and before we knew it was a monster, it had already killed salene. someone has to stop it!" he said in a desperate voice.

i thought for a while, but smiled. "i will stop this monster. did it tell you it's name?"

he looked afraid, but said,

"yes. it was Cellex.

Cellex the overlord"

end of Inturlude

Authors note: so i just wanted to get this out of the way, and what better way than through an interlude? i will probably write more tomorrow, but no promises. also, i can't stop laughing about what i wrote Cellex did with the male adventurers second arm. :)
