Dealing with the Order had been a small bump in the road for Sara, but in the end she knew deep down they hadn't really been worth it. Her tail wags behind her slowly as she ate. "To be fair, Faerûn wasn't to bad, ignoring the torture aspect of the trip, honestly out of all the places I got to see, Baldur's Gate was the most interesting even if we spent most our time running around like a bunch of chickens with our heads cut off." She lets out a sigh as she takes a drink of some tea Bulma had made. Perhaps it was time to properly fill in the blanks to what really happened.
"I didn't see much when I first got there, my first stop was Nashkel to get a better understanding of what was going on. As far as they knew, something in the mines was tainting the iron ore that came from the mines, making it useless. Now it sounds harmless enough until you realize the sword you're using can break in half if used to many times..." She takes a minute to clear her throat. "That's where I met Sid and his little group, so I decided, what the Hell and join them. Going into the mines wasn't to bad until we started running into Kobolds, not to annoying, only when they kept hitting us with fire arrows, then it started to hurt."
"So we hit the bottom of the mines to find there was indeed someone poisoning the ore down there. Mulahey was his name, we killed him, only to learn that this was the start of it all." Her ears flick to the side as she continues, Trunks even pulled up a chair so no one would really notice him to much. "So besides the iron shortage, there were bandits, choking the trade from town to town, to finding out another mine had been taken over, it seemed to widespread that we were surprised to learn that the Iron Throne was behind it. Now, it sounds crazy that an organization that trades iron would want to poison it, but that's what they were doing."
"It was all to start a war with Baldur's Gate against Amn, with the tainted ore, you can only imagine the blood that would be spilt, but that was the idea, to kill as many people as possible. The man behind it all, Sarevok, now he would scare the piss out of ya. He was doing this, as part of a prophesy passed from the Times of Trouble. Long story short it was a short period of time where the Gods themselves fought one another, one of the Gods, Bhaal, the Lord of Murder, saw his own death so in order to cheat it, had a score of mortal offspring that would one day resurrect him. Sarevok was one of them, and we later learned so was Sid, then sadly later Imoen..the hard way..."
She could shake her head slowly, one story at a time. "We went up against Sarevok, trust me with the way things were going, there was no way in Hell we would let him get away. I think, in the end, he knew he wasn't going to walk away." No one had said a word through the whole thing until Bulma spoke up. "So once that was over, that's when you were captured?" Sara gives her a nod. "Aye, about a week or so later, Irenicus knew what Sid was, so he thought getting us would only add to him being able to figure out his hidden 'potential'." She goes silent for a long time before she could only shake it off. "Irenicus was...a troubled soul...doesn't quiet give him a pass on what he did, but it wasn't all his fault."
The whole thing still made her furious that everything that had happened, could have been stopped if only the 'queen' hadn't been blinded by her love for the 'man' Irenicus had once been. "From what we were able to learn, Irenicus had once been a elf, a powerful mage even among his kind, but it wasn't enough for him. His sister Bodhi, had been the one to push him to do the unthinkable." She glanced up, unsure just how much they would really understand. "Lets just say he tried to turn himself into a God, and in the end he ended up killing a lot of his people."
"As punishment, he was made into a mortal, a human, everything that had made him elven, had been taken away. His sister had gotten the same punishment, in order to try and live longer, she turned herself into a vampire...not sure it worked or not, seeing as she had taken Imoen's soul as her own. Irenicus had found a way to use his magic, to not only steal her soul, but Sid's as well, to live long enough to get revenge on those the ones they felt wronged them, queen Ellesime herself.." She lets out a low cough as she looks down. "A lot to take in isn't it?" Bulma just sat there, her jaw hanging open as Vegeta just kind of sat there silent.
"Well this is where we come in, since Sid was one of the 'children' Irenicus thought he could use his soul to finish what he started, to become one of the elven Gods. It didn't work, but it did have some lasting effects on our poor leader, though he doesn't have to worry about that anymore." Bulma could only shake her head a bit. "I can't imagine what it must had been like to lose your soul..." Sara just holds out her hands. "The fact he survived, as well as Imoen, still impresses me to no end, but we did manage to save them both, oh and keep in mind, this is only the part two, there's a third."
Vegeta was now the one shaking his head. There was a small part of him that was finding this hard to believe, and yet. She had no reason to lie about any of this. He remembered a time, when he came to Earth, to find the Dragonballs to wish for immortality. Of course now it sounded silly, but still to try and become a God, sounded like it wouldn't be worth it. "At any rate, we killed Irenicus, and once we did I think we knew that the fight wasn't really over. There was still the prophecy that the remaining 'children' would gather and fight over the Throne to become the new God of Murder...so we gathered our things, and off we went.." "Wow..just, wow...you and your friends went through so much." Sara looks up as Bulma gave her a small smile. "You have no idea..."
