Strange Companions XXI
The night of observing Ric and Cecil, your fitful sleep is interrupted by peculiar dreams. Far off lands that look familiar but feel foreign. Always a shadow and a glint haunt your steps as you explore. A man who follows you but does not speak. A hooded figure in the distance, lights flashing before they disappear.
When you wake, the dawn has already passed and given way to a beautiful clear morning. As you open your door, a familiar figure stands up, hand on their side. Buddy gives you a lopsided smile, “Rosalie told me you were in danger before she sprinted off, she muttered something about magical infetterance and transformational diagetic conventions…something or other. Anyways, I came here as fast as I could. She kind of sounds like Star sometimes now.”
For a moment, you’re taken aback by Buddy’s tone of caring before he continues, “Anyways, Rosalie and I had a few leads and good conversations. I’m really good at getting townsfolk to talk, on account of me being so friendly! We talked to a few more townsfolk who asked to stay anonymous and we think we can identify where the shadow is going to show up next. So later today, we are gonna find that thing and win! Rosalie needs a little help with the spell she’s preparing, so meet us later today in town with this stuff!”
Before you can explain what you saw last night, Buddy bounds off.
