As you walked through the woods you eventually found a dirt path, and chose to walk in the direction away from the castle in hopes of finding a village with actually "nice" people. Eventually you caught sight of what appeared to be a blue kobold walked in the opposite direction. Suddenly your senses were telling you that the Kobold was a traveling familiar, and you could see who his master was too. You then remembered that the kobold could see who your master was too, and you thought,"Ooooh, shit."
Suddenly without warning the kobold seemed to disappear, and then reappear on your side. The kobold then tackled you with immense strength and speed taking into the nearby brush. "Hey watch it!" You said, and the kobold hissed at you and kicked you in the stomach, and pinned your to a large rock. "You have 10 seconds to explain who you are, what you are planning, and what the hell Rowan is doing with a familiar!" The kobold hissed, and growled at you. "I'll tell you everything, but I'll let you know that pain isn't an issue for me, let alone death. Hell Master is immortal after all." You said
"Stop that!" The kobold said and you felt a snap in your wing, and felt it fracture.
"You just broke my wing in half did you? I told you that I can barely feel pain. Honestly you are putting yourself more at risk then you are me right now. So please just let me go, and stop wasting your energy." You said, and the kobold was shocked that you took that so easily. The kobold let you go, and backed away from you slowly. "Okay where should I start? Well besides the fact that I can heal from any wound in seconds I'm basically immortal." You said, and you watched the kobold stare as your wing shifted back into place, and snapped itself together healing itself.
"There we are," you said moving your healed wing, and turned to the kobold. "Anyways I'm Gannoth, and you already know my infamous master Rowan. He summoned me here a few nights ago, and currently I'm basically letting myself adapt as Master said for me to. My life's kind of revolves around his now, and I'm sure being a familiar is right?" You said
"Why are you so casual about this? You are literally the familiar of the most likely being to successfully commit genocide on all life on this world maybe even beyond." The kobold said
"Because I don't exactly like the idea of my master's goal of chaos, and even if I have to take part in it I just want others to know that I'm not exactly evil, or at least not now. Also unlike my master I hate killing others without a valid reason, and don't get me wrong if someone were to make me enrage to the point where I snap I would probably kill them because I'm capable of doing so, but otherwise no except in self-defense. I'm going to come clean on everything that I know, but it's not much, sorry." You said
"Oh wow, you're serious about this aren't you?" The kobold asked
"Yes, and if you listen I may have information you may need just in case my master does something that results in my own loss in sanity, which I am convinced he is capable of manipulating." You said and the kobold sat down.
"Okay I don't know much at all, or in general about Master Rowan. When he tranformed me into what I assume is a minor dragon, he basically made it so my body heals off wounds in seconds, despite severity. Master Rowan even stated that I could even be burned alive, or decapitated and still regenerate. I don't know how I can regenerate from that, but I can apparently. Anyways this rune on my shoulder from what I know of charges me with magic strength, and dark magic too. Master Rowan said that it will even make me learn new techniques both regular, and forbidden as if I know them by instinct. Beyond that I don't know much, but there is one thing I've been keeping a secret from my master." You said
"Wait all of that plus a secret? Geez not even extreme mages go as far as to do something like that, or at least aren't powerful enough to." The kobold said
"Yeah, and earlier with the whole dark magic instinct thing I was worried that it would kick in, and I would unintentionally cast some sort of spell on instinct. Besides that I seem to have perfect memory so far, and I found a journal in the staff quarter in which my master told me to use as my own. The final journal entry mentioned stuff about darkness, prophets, and Rowan becoming the bringer of chaos. However there was a quote that I remember very fondly, and it said go to Farendrake City, Grayscale district, house number 734. Besides that I'm just waiting for when my dark abilities act up, and the only other person who knows that I'm with Master Rowan is a random bandit who almost sliced my heart open. I'm not exaggerating on that either, and he ran away like a coward once he watched my wounds heal." You said
"Well that's a lot to take in, so what's exactly at that place?" The kobold asked
"I don't know, the journal entry was incomplete, and the sentence after it wasn't even finished, all it said was that there would be more explanation there." You said
"Are you sure it's that house?" The kobold asked
"Yes, I can read something once, and feel as if I've memorized it for 3 hours straight." You said
"Huh, you know Gannoth you aren't that bad. I feel bad for you, but if anything I hope that if we don't survive, then you will have a good life." The kobold said
"It's going to be eternal, and full of me causing others torture, how fun." You said sarcastically
"Heh, well Gannoth my name is Slick, and my master is Hamarak. If it really does come down to chaos then I request that we survive, or at least we get a chance to live." The kobold, Slick said
"No promises here, it's just that...ah! Arg! Damnit not now! One of the dark spells is being used automatically. You may want to take cover Slick." You said feeling energy building up in your throat. Suddenly you shot out a ball of darkness, and it flew for about a mile. When you looked to see what you hit you were shocked to fine a large black dome in the area that expanded over three quarters of a mile long in diameter, and Slick just watched scared.
You paused for a few seconds before asking Slick,"Was there anything in that direction?"
Slick gulped, and responded,
