Chapter 1
"What the Fuck"
"Were the hell, are we?"
"This … this can't be"
"It is, this is Whitestone or at least some fucked up version of it . . . I wasn't there when it happened but from the stories Percy and the rest of have told me this is damn close to what it looked like"
As the group of adventures make their way through the sick and twisted version of Whitestone. Jax couldn't help but allow some of his magic to flow through the atmosphere. Trying to get a sense a feel for anything magically trying to see if he could reach out to a possible link of Laudna's soul
"Shite!"
"What? What happened?"
"Nothing it just something or better yet someone is keeping her from reaching out to me"
Ja…
"Call me Jax, the only reason they call me Ja is, so my sister isn't hurt from the remembrance of a name"
"Alright then Jax are you able to possible get a beat on anything living?"
Putting his hand up to one of the many necklaces he is wearing muttering a spell under his breath and concentrating on trying to find something living, Jax can detect at least two "living" beings within his realm one down any alley way not far from where they are and another being near the giant dead rotting sun tree, something about this whole thing started to make Jax's skin crawl he remembered the stories Keyleth and the others told him. Speaking of his sister and the others he needed to have a conversation with a few of them . . . No, he couldn't have his mind scattered right now he needed to focus the task at hand. To everyone who had never been to Whitestone it was a strange feeling walking the streets of a city in which you are visiting but its currently not the city they are visiting,
As the party began to walk down one of the narrow-broken streets they hear two voices, both of which sound like children. Jax puts his hand up to stop the party and begins walking forward stealthy, noticing Imogen walking beside him
"I'm coming with you, Laudna knows me I can connect with her"
"That's fine but we need to be careful not to be seen by the other person around her"
"Oh, come on Matilda let's play a game"
"I… I don't know Andy, what would we play?"
"How about secret treasure?"
"Jax is . . . Is Andy an actual child?"
"That is a great question Imogen, let me find out"
As Jax allows his power to flow from him to gather the information needed to determine whether it's an innocent soul or not. The findings of Jax magic makes him feel sick, what kind of spirit takes that of an innocent child.
"No Imogen it's not an actual child, but you need to try to reach out to her"
