The imp is one of the weakest forms that the lemure can take on the infernal side of fiends. Identical in almost every way to the quasit they are often confused for each other. Their differences lie in having Abyssal or Infernal energy and one is harmed by cold iron while the other is subject to the green steel so common to Baator.

Adrian

No thoughts pass through my mind for a while, I am unconscious or was until I open my eyes to the Grey Dream.

I have never been able to shake off the feeling of danger while here, paranoia brought to me from the words of me-but-not-me. It been proven true by the actions of the dream but there is nothing to do about it yet. Just working on gaining more power so nothing will harm those I care about.

I perform the actions of thought to get the Grey Dream to do what I want even as I suspect that this is all a farce to fool me.

I need to check on the changes that dragon-me did, I know that he did something here as the numbers to not add up to what I remember and that dragon form was larger than before.

I decide on looking at Traits first,

???

How did I pick up some of these? Accelerated Learning and Endurance, are not things I had before nor did I do anything that would give them to me.

The flow of an answer finally seems confused, I purchased them last time with SP; or rather that dragon-me spent the SP for them.

I’m not upset over getting something like this with SP, but I would have liked to have known about this possibility before, whatever spirits that run this place must have been trying to hide this option.

Alright nothing to strange on the Class or Attribute sections aside from the new class of being a dragon. There must be some sort of difference between it and Dragon Knight, but that probably is not important. After all reality is not a game and all this is, is a numerical representation of my abilities.

I should look at magic before I think about what to do. I also should not spend too much time here as everyone else might be in danger or worried over me. Would K have brought me back to everyone else? Maybe, but I can’t spend too much time here there is also that army of something that smells terrible approaching.

Arcane Power 5

Space 2

Planar 0

Fate 2

Life 3

Death 3

Mind 1

Soul 4

Primal 2

Time 3

Transmutation 2

Telekinesis 0

Gravity 1

Nothing strange except for the increase in Arcane Power and Soul. I wonder how I managed to increase Arcane Power without the Grey Dream? Probably some sort of using it more than normal and building it up like a muscle.

As much as I would like to go through the Traits that can be bought I need to get back to everyone else and do whatever I can to explain the actions dragon-me took. That and I need to heal my dragon form and perform an inventory on Void Cache to see what dragon-me pulled out and put in while I was occupied by me-but-not-me.

My eyes feel heavy and wherever I am, it is definitely not the rocky ground of Missouri under me. I feel warm and whatever I am holding onto is comforting, I don’t want to wake up yet, but I need to.

I have to apologize to everyone because of the actions of dragon-me, and get us moving again.

I open my eyes and after squinting at the sting of the dim light to see that I am holding onto one of the elf twins as if she were a teddy bear; that and I am lying my head on someone’s lap.

I try to slowly get up without waking the girl I was embracing, but find that she is holding onto my arms. No way to do this without waking her. I turn to whoever’s lap I am on.

It turns out to be K, I look around a bit before either of us say anything. Talia is not in the room, if a room this could still be called.

Nor is anyone else, just me and two of my three girlfriends is a partially collapsed corner of whatever building I am now in.

“I told everyone what happened, your mother didn’t understand it but your friends were worried over it.

Talia is outside pacing, worried that you are going to be mad at her for what happened.”

“Why would I be, she didn’t do anything wrong.”

Before K responds, I get up and end up waking Lysan as I do so. She doesn’t fight against it but she seems to want to just go back to sleeping while being held.

Why was I even hugging her in my sleep though? It was comfortable though.

“We need to get back to traveling don’t we?” I ask K.

She nods as I exit through the only part of the room such a thing could be done.

I only make a single step out of the collapsed room before I run into Talia. K was not joking about her pacing just outside of the room.

“I’m sorry abou. . .”

I cut her off by picking her up and holding her to my chest.

“I’m not mad, you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not going to throw any of you away.”

She calms rather quickly and only then to I set her back down. I am sure she could break free if she tried but she stayed still until I let her go.

“Where is everyone else?”

“Packing what they can in the fire carriages.”

That is not an entirely inaccurate description of a car in elvish. So I look around and see my mother and Bryan easily enough in the light of this late afternoon, though as the setting sun is behind me they may not have noticed me yet.

Abagail

I knew there was something off about Adrian. It turns out he is crazy and the voices in his head make him do things.

This can’t be good in any way, he isn’t stable. What if the dragon whatever takes over again?

Will it protect everyone and act like Adrian does or run away as it just did again?

“We can’t count on his ability to protect anyone if he has another breakdown and one of the voices take over again” I bring up in the cyclical argument that has been going on for hours.

“Kythia said that the dragon is like her own inner wolf, a part of him. He shouldn’t do this again unless we push him away or something similar” counters Bryan much to my displeasure.

Even if that is true then aren’t they different people? I can trust Adrian, he has proved himself more than enough but not the voices in his head.

Kathrine frowns at the mention of the werewolf though that quickly changes to a happy smile.

I turn my head to see our crazy de facto leader just getting out of the small hollow in the rubble that the elven twins have been using.

We cease our argument, no reason to have him worry over this. He walks swiftly up to us three and says one word before Bryan interrupts him.

“Sorry . . .”

“Don’t” he says as he puts a light punch to Adrian’s arm. I don’t get how pretend violence is a friendly thing for boys.

After a second, Bryan continues “no one's mad at you, but we need to get moving.”

There is a look of guilt in both Adrian’s expression and eyes as he nods. He feels terrible over what just happened, and I feel bad for arguing against his leadership.

This wasn’t something he willingly did, but he regrets it as if it were. Almost as quickly as the guilt appeared, he covers it up with a smile and begins to walk towards the cars.

Several gas cans appear in his hand as he sets them down one by one and begins to fill the gas tanks, only stopping to recollect the gas cans into whatever magical storage power he is manipulating.

Adrian

After filling up the cars there was little else to do except to get moving, everyone piled into the manual car that my mother was driving except for the trio and Bryan. I feel guilty for what happened and even if they say and act like they forgave it.

There is a beat of a drum in the distance and the sound of a low and dull horn is the only sound in the background as the cars are started up. The horde I saw while flying must be getting closer, are they in the way between us and Kansas City?

I am not sure as the map in an Atlas is not visually similar to the actual streets and roads, we still need to go north and west and the sounds are from the north. We begin to move as the cars have no trouble starting back up after a few days of neglect.

Soon enough I am asked a question by Bryan, “are you alright?”

I don’t really want a discussion over my mental health, though it seems like I do not have much of a choice on that anymore.

“Yes, I’m alright.”

“So, can you tell me about these voices in your head?”

There is concern in his voice and on his face from what I can see with the rear view mirror.

I glance around the horizon almost hoping that some of the nearby hoard would be in sight so I could evade this but no such bad luck.

I sight, “I have three 'voices' in my head now. A dragon, a . . .”

Me-but-not-me appears in my vision for a moment and mouths ‘no descriptions, be vague' before fading away as quickly as she arrived.

No one seems to have noticed the few seconds where I paused, since when could she reach me while I was conscious?

“. . . mage and now a wolf. The first two I think are attached to or related to my abilities.

The wolf, I don’t know. It’s more like talking to someone else than the others.”

No point in hiding too much regardless of what me-but-not-me thinks.

K smiled at the mention of the wolf, is she okay with what I did? We never did get to that part of the conversation.

“What do they talk to you about?” asks Lysan, more out of curiosity than concern.

I can’t help but match the smile she gives me with my own.

“The dragon tries to get me to act more dragon like, and the mage pushes to be better at everything.”

“And the wolf?” asks K.

“That you want to be dominated during sex.”

Everyone looks at me confusion for speaking in a tongue they don’t know except for K who blushes the tiniest of amounts.

“What did you just say?” asks Talia only to have K whisper something quiet enough that I don’t pick up what she said.

I don’t respond until after their subsequent laugh ends, Bryan gives them a look of confusion but simply does not understand what was said. Lysan looks embarrassed by the reaction of her sister and what K said, makes sense to me but I am not telling him the subject of where they went.

I cough a bit, and the conversation moves on. I may really like sexy time, but I don’t want to just talk about it all the time. . .
