Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I've had a bad case of writer's block.
I love my boyfriend!!!
Everything in italics means past!
Parenthesis in Edwin's talk is when he starts talking to himself.
Leon watched from the distance, as his godfather was struck down by a figure in black armor. He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance as the figure walked off. "Great, I was woken up this morning by a cone of cold, then I was sent all around Candlekeep on stupid errand, but on a pleasant note I managed to ditch Spear, then finally I was dragged out of Candlekeep by my godfather who I just watched die, peachy, just bloody peachy," he groaned as he set up his camp, sleeping with his bow and dagger in his hands. He woke up as soon as the sun touched his sensitive, half-drow, half-elf skin.
"Hey ya! It's me, Imoen!" A familiarly annoying voice was the first thing Leon heard as he packed up his camp.
"Go away, I don't need you slowing me down," Leon snapped as he continued down the stone road, trying to remember where he was supposed to go. He looked back and saw Imoen still following him. "Okay, I said I don't need you, so go back to Candlekeep!"
Imoen put her hands on her hips and huffed. "I'm coming with you anyway," she said stubbornly and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Fine, since I really don't want to drag you all the way back there. But I am not going to protect you even though you haven't even begun your combat training," Leon sighed and abruptly started off into the forest, he wanted to see if his Godfather's body had anything on it before some beast or something got to it first. "I managed to ditch Spear but get stuck with that thing, I wonder who is more annoying, my twin or the child from hell with the brain of an Orc," he groaned to himself as he heard Imoen stumbling around the forest behind him.
xXx
Imoen held back a sob when she saw Gorion's body. She rushed off to the bushes and vomited when Leon kicked the corpse over onto it's back and began pilfering it. "H-how can you do that?"
"Easy," Leon smirked and pulled a coin purse out of the folds of his Godfather's robes along with a dagger and a letter. He unrolled the letter and started skimming through it as he walked back towards the road. Giving a quick glance at the dagger, he threw it behind him and kept walking.
Imoen screamed and threw up again, Leon turned around to see what caused these actions. Looking around, he noticed that the dagger he threw was now protruding from Gorion's head. "Oops," he shrugged and returned to walking towards the road.
Once she had recovered her wits, Imoen headed into the forest where Leon had gone and couldn't find him. Looking around, she still couldn't see the red-haired elf. "LEON!" She yelled and suddenly a familiar charcoal-skinned hand covered her mouth.
"Shut up!" Leon hissed and dragged her behind a boulder. "Stay here and shut up unless you want to die," he snapped and drew an arrow from his quiver, slipping it into his bow. Silently, he slipped out from behind the boulder, stalking through the shadows of the trees towards a rather large wolf. He was about to shoot it when Imoen yelled his name again, giving away his position.
"LEON! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Imoen yelled, unknowingly giving away Leon's position.
Cursing under his breath, Leon threw his cloak off and unsheathed his dagger as the wolf stalked towards him. Twirling his dagger, he and the wolf circled each other, looking for a weak spot. "Bring it on," he smirked and braced himself.
The wolf took this as an opening and charged. Just as it was about to tear into the elf's flesh, Leon twisted out of the way and slit it's throat with his dagger, blood spraying all over him and the ground. "You bloody idiot! I told you to shut up! That does it, that is the last time I take pity on you and try to keep you from becoming something's meal," he snapped and yanked Imoen's cloak off her. Using the cloak, he wiped the blood off himself and his dagger before throwing it to the ground.
Imoen went to pick it up and was stopped by Leon. "But…"
"It'll attract bigger things than wolves," Leon said and picked up his cloak, slipping it. "Move it!" He ordered when Imoen didn't start following him immediately. "Keep up or I'll leave you here."
That comment got Imoen moving. She didn't want to be stuck out here alone.
Leon turned around when he heard an ear splitting scream come from behind him. He pinched the bridge of his nose when he saw a dagger sticking out of the back of Imoen's head, a familiar face identical to his own, holding the knife. "Spear."
"Leon, I thought you would have realized by now that you can't ditch your twin sister," Spear smirked and yanked the dagger from Imoen's head, wiping the blood and brain matter on the dead girls clothes. "Asshole."
"Bitch," Leon retorted and they started off on the journey of their lives.
xXx
"Hey! Wake up!" Spear yelled and tapped her foot impatiently as everyone gathered around her. When Viconia stood with the rest of the group, she drew her dagger and stabbed it into the Drow's chest, Viconia dying instantly. "Now that that's been taken care of. Get your asses to the Copper Cornet! Xan and I are needed back at the Sword Coast! My twin will take lead from there! Cernd! You're in charge until then!" She snapped and Xan teleported them away before anyone could ask a question.
"Great, once again I am forced to travel with that bubbling fool Leon (one wrong move and he'll be on the wrong end of my death spell)," Edwin growled, his sneer only softened when Anomen placed a hand on his shoulder.
Cernd sighed, Spear had a habit of leaving him in charge when something happened. With another sigh, he began to instruct everyone.
xXx
The group walked into the Copper Cornet and was met by a mass of people surrounded around someone telling a story.
"So there I was, surrounded by twenty, no thirty Orogs all armed to the teeth and ready to take a bite out of me. I was mortally wounded and completely out of potions but I still had a trick or two up my sleeve. So I sprang into action and…" The man was cut off my Edwin who was rolling his eyes. The only way to tell him and Spear apart was by Spear's barely there breasts and his long fire-red hair that peaked out from under his hood, two thin streaks on his face for eyebrows, and his eyelashes that made it look like his eyes were surrounded by fire.
"It was one and it literally fell head first onto your dagger," Edwin said, deflating the moment. "Unpleasant to see you as always, Leon (ignorant fool)."
"And an ass as always my dear Edwin. Now shut up and let me finish my story. As I was saying, I sprung into action and used their size against them. If one goes down the rest are toppled down with him so I easily killed the lot," Leon smirked and winked at the giggling longhaired elf in his lap. "What's your name sweets?" He asked hoping to get possibly laid.
"Aerie," Aerie giggled, obviously drunk, probably Leon's doing.
Leon grinned, showing off his slightly pointed canines, which had come from spending too much time hiding from the law using his "special" cloak that transformed him into a wolf. "Well, my dear Aerie, I must bid you adieu, mention my name at the bar and you'll get yourself a free room," he smirked and scooted her off his lap. "I know Edwin and Minsc, but who the hell are the rest of you?"
Everyone introduced themselves and Leon couldn't help but check Anomen out. He stopped when he received a death glare from Edwin. With a smirk, he removed the glove from his left hand and offered his hand to Anomen who just blankly stared off. "Hello? You're supposed to shake hands when one is offered to you!" He shouted, making Anomen wince.
"I'm blind, not deaf," Anomen growled, one hand firmly attaching to Edwin's shoulder while the other stayed at his side. He made no effort to shake Leon's hand.
Leon nodded his head in acknowledgement and then realized Anomen couldn't see him. "So, how come my wonderful twin sister didn't kill you? 'Cause I mean you've got to be useless in battle."
"He's only temporarily blind (you bumbling imbecile)," Edwin, snapped with a sneer, he really couldn't stand Leon.
"Okay, don't bite my head off," Leon said nonchalantly, looking a lot like Spear. "Well, it doesn't look like I'm going to get laid for free," he comment and slipped his hand into his purse, seeing if he had enough for a whore. "I will be upstairs in the back rooms with a whore, see you in an hour."
Edwin rolled his eyes at the elf. "Knowing how you spend your money you don't even have enough to pay a beggar let alone a descent, uninfected whore (dealing with this moron is nauseating at best)," he sneered, his accent causing the words to roll from his tongue smoothly.
"It's called stealing, you worked for the Shadow Thieves, you're familiar with the concept. I fuck them then I kill them," Leon said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
This made Yoshimo laugh. "Leon, everyone is going to remember a drow elf that looks like his head is on fire. So killing a whore here would not be the best idea."
"Okay, good point. Where is that Aerie girl?" Leon asked and then cursed loudly when he saw the female winged elf passed out not twenty feet from him. "And I suppose none of you are drunk enough to let me fuck you?" He inquired and sighed when he was met with headshakes and glares. "Didn't think so."
"Boo missed you and so did I!" Minsc exclaimed and picked Leon up in a giant bear hug, sweeping the slight elf off his feet. "We are glad to kick evil's behind with you once more!"
Leon's eyes bugged out of his skull as Minsc squeezed him. "Minsc, crushing me," he gasped and kicked his legs gently until Minsc put him down again. "Nice to see you too Minsc," he coughed, bending over slightly to catch his breath. "Well, we're off to save some poor village from some evil or something like that."
A sort of long chapter to ask your forgiveness for taking forever to update.
