As Damien and Jarrod killed the last demon- thingy in the den, a bright light filled it.

"The rogues are safe for the moment," Damien said triumphantly as he leaned against the wall.

"My duty here is done" Jarrod stated as he wiped thick black blood off his short sword."

"So… lets get back to town and get that reward of ours!" Damien said pulling out a scroll and chanting the ancient glyphs written on it. And as he did so the scroll dried up and blew away while a blue swirling portal appeared reaching almost from the floor to the ceiling.

"Lets go!" Jarrod said as he and Damien stepped through the portal

As they stepped through Damien stopped mid-stride so fast that Jarrod, who was behind him, ran into his broad back.

"Gah" Jarrod said as he backed away from Damien "next time tell me when you are going to stop!" he said angrily.

As Jarrod realized that he was starring strait a head he began to shake his head "no no no, what in the known world did we do to deserver this fate?!?!?!?!?!"

The only response that Damien gave was a heavy sigh, which, seemed to draw Aaron's attention away from the fire and the quill rat roasting over it and to them.

"Hi guys, sorry I left but I got hungry," he said walking over

"Gah, just let me have some of that quill rat and all is forgiven" Damien said

Oh, it's not mine its his" Aaron said as he motioned to a shadowy figurer hidden in the shadows of the nearest tent.

Damien began to glare at the figure that made no move what so ever.

"What you know him?" Jarrod asked

"Yeh, I've know him all my life" Damien said, not breaking eye contact anywhere.

"After all these years we finally meet again" Damien said as he raised his voice enough for the shadowy figure to hear.

"Yes it appears so" he replied still not making a move to leave the shadows.

"How long has it been?" Damien asked taking a few steps forward.

"I lost count years ago," the figure said, finally breaking from the shadows to reveal a very powerful looking necromancer.

"Guys" Damien said as he pointed to the necromancer "this is my childhood friend, Julian"

"Aye, indeed, we have know each other forever" Julian said coming over to the small group.

"Wow…" Aaron said sounding dumbfounded "dinner smells good!"
