3rd POV

After the crew found the city of Syngorn in the Fey realm, they manage to sneak in the city along with Garmelie while avoiding getting caught.

Keyleth: First off, your hometown is...wow. (Chuckles.) But...how can a city just teleport to the Fey realm?

Vex: In times of danger, the elven nobility have arcane means of...moving it. Its rarely seen.

YN: Surprisingly that the creatures in the Fey realm attacked this place.

They his behind the building to see if the coast is clear, but Garmelie for too excited to continue onward.

Garmelie: (Smiles.) Right this way- Whoa!

Vax pulls him away before getting caught by the guards.

Percy: You led us here for your amusement, didn't you?

Garmelie: (Smiles.) Oh, of course not. Going around would have meant pixie territory, and you do not want to tango with pixies. No, straight through is the fastest way to the Shademurk. (Leaves.) Come, come.

YN: (Sigh disappointed.) Anybody else think this is necessary?

Vax: I'm open for a better suggestions.

Having no choice, they continue to make their way through the city without being caught. But every corner are filled with guards. 

Vex: Certainly are a lot of guards.

Vax: More than I remember.

Vex: We're almost through.

YN: So uh, what's the plan if they spotted us?

Vex: That won't happen. Just a few more blocks and we're-

Suddenly a sword was a inch away from Vex's face as they were all surrounded by the guards.

Vex: Fucked....

Guard: Outsiders, state your name and purpose.

YN: Give me your name pal, and I shall give you mine.

The all the guards pointed their weapons at the witcher but he didn't even flinched.

Vex: Lower your weapons. We seek an audience with Ambassador Vessar.

The guards were confused until Vax spoke up.

Vax: (Sigh.) We're his children.

YN: Well, I'll be dam twice.

Time skip

The guards let them go before they went to the twins old home to where they once live as children.

They enter and wait for their father to arrive while the rest admire the place.

YN: Huh, you guys use to live here? Must be nice to live a house like this when you were kids.

Keyleth: Its really nice.

Vax: Appreciate it, but it wasn't a better life for us.

YN: Better than my childhood, believe it or not. It was cruel but it was necessary.

Percy: Real Vermaloc wood. Your father has gold standard taste.

Vex: Always did. Except when it came to us.

Percy: (Confused.) What do you mean?

Vex: Be honest. (Looks at him.) Do I look like I come from nobility?

Percy: Its easy to act noble. Just be a bit of a shit and wear what everyone else is wearing. I've known many people with money and titles, (Smiles.) and they're definitely not worth you.

This made Vex smile a bit until someone came downstairs who the twins are familiar to.

Vax: (Surpised.) Devana.

Devana: We weren't expecting you. Um, your father will be down shortly. And somewhere around here is, uh...

Devana looks back to see a little girl peeking from the door.

The girl joins Devana before asking.

Velora: (Curious.) Who are you talking to, mom?

Devana: (Smiles.) Oh, right. You haven't met Velora yet. Our daughter.

Vax: (Surprise.) A...sister?

The twins look at each other, not expecting to have a half sister before she approaches Vex with a smile.

Velora: Hi, I love your feather.

Vex couldn't help but smiles and she took off her feather before crouching down to her half sister level. She then puts it on her as a gift.

Vex: Then its yours. (Chuckles.) A gift from you half sister, Vex'ahlia.

Vax: (Smiles.) Call her Vex. And me Vax.

Velora: (Gasp before smiles.) The twins! But father said you'd never come back.

Vax: What, and miss the chance to meet you? Ah, a travsty.

Velora giggles while Keyleth spotted YN shedding a tear.

Keyleth: Are you crying, YN?

YN: (Quickly wipe the tear off.) No, there's too much dust here. I'm a witcher, we don't cry.

Velora: (Gasp.) A witch?

YN: What? Uh, no.

Velora: But you said you're a witch.

YN sigh and hang his head while everyone chuckles before Devana speaks to the twins.

Devana: Your father will be pleased to see you.

Suddenly they hear someone clearing their throat and they looks to see someone is upstairs.

Syldor, father of the twins.

Syldor: Perhaps I would have been, had you notified me you'd be gracing us with your presence.

Short time skip

The enter to a different room for them to discuss the situation what Devana and her daughter leaves. Devana notice YN armor is destroy so she offers him for it to fix by her servants. Syldor light up his pipe to smoke before speaking up.

(YN next to Keyleth.)

Syldor: And so, when Emon fell, we had no recourse but to retreat to the Fey realm. We've been amassing arms and training our soldiers to confront the dragons.

Vex: So you plan to join the fight. (Sigh in relief.) That's wonderful.

Vax: More like they turn tail and ran.

YN: As did we, as much as I hate to admit it. At least we're doing the hard work.

Syldor: Why are you here?

Percy: To dispatch the very dragons that chased you away, sir.

Syldor: And you are?

Percy: Percival Fredrickstein con Musel Klossowski de Rolo III of the royal house of Whitestone.

Syldor: Well, then, Lord de Rolo III. What can Syngorn do for you?

Percy: I assume you've heard how Vox Machina slayed one of the dragons.

Syldor: I'm unfamiliar with a Vox Machina.

Keyleth: (Smiles.) We're a Vox Machina. I mean, um...We are Vox Machina.

Percy: We've come for an ancient weapon said to lie in the Shademurk.

Syldor: (Curious.) The Fenthras Bow?

Vex: You've heard of it?

Syldor: That and the Ironbreaker, both powerful relic. Legend say it fires arrows strong enough to wound a titan while the other can pierce the toughest shield ever crafted in the realm.

They all look at each other with concern looks before Syldor continues.

Syldor: I see. You want to chase a fleeting rumor into a desolate waste.

Vex: We already have one of them. Show him, YN.

YN nods before he summons the spear. This made Syldor surprise at the moment, but it was cut short by his doubt's of the bow.

Vex: If this one exist, then so does the bow. That bow could be the key to defeating the dragons.

Percy: You should be proud. Your son and daughter are leading the fight against the Chroma Conclave.

Syldor: (Scoff.) You needn't spin false tales of their exploits. The very idea of Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia standing up for the greater good is...well, rich.

Vax: (Sigh.) You unbelievable prick.

Syldor: (Stands up.) This is trying times for all of us. Have you any idea the burden your sudden arrival has caused my family?

Vax: (Glares.) We didn't come for a reunion.

Syldor: (Glares.) And yet, here you are. Throwing my name around whenever it suits you.

Vax: (Glares.) I despise your name.

Vex stop their argument before it could get worse.

Vex: No, its fine. No harm intended.

Percy: But he just said-

Vex: Its...fine.

Percy didn't say anything as Vex continues to speak.

Vex: Thank you for your time, father. If you can offer us any assistance, we would be more grateful.

Syldor sits down with a smirk.

Syldor: (Sigh.) Of course. Its the least I can do...for family.

YN: (Sigh and mutters.) I hope the others are doing better than we are.

Meanwhile

Back with the others, they prepare to leave to continue their task. YN got his armor fixed up thanks to Devana's servants and they said their goodbye's.

Devana: I ask one of my servants to patch your armor up with some tough threads we have so that it wouldn't be damage easily. Though it is a fine armor you have.

YN: This will do, thank you.

Velora: Why do you have to leave? You just got here.

Vex: (Smiles.) We'll see you again. And no matter where we go, we'll be thinking of you, little one.

Velora hug her siblings while Syldor hands the scroll to Percy.

Syldor: This Decree promise safe passage, but once you leave our walls, you're on your own.

Percy: Hmm. You'll need to amend one mane, though. Its Lady Vex'ahlia.

Syldor: Lady?

Percy: Lady Vex'ahlia, Baroness of the Third House of Whitestone and Grand Mistress of the Grey Hunt. So, good sir, despite your relationship, do watch your manners towards a noble.

Syldor: I will not be amending this for a meaningless title. Really, de Rolo, such a transparent ploy is beneath your dignity.

Vex: Don't you dare talk to him like that. We came here seeking aid and you insult my friends?

Syldor: Yes, once again, no appreciation for my years of civility.

Vex: Oh you expect me to feel sorry for you? After everything you've done. Or rather haven't done. We won't fail. Which is more than I can say about you as a father.

Syldor: (Walks away.) Then prove me wrong. Show me that bow and I will give you the welcome you think you deserve. Until then, do not bother me again.

Vex: Oh, fuck you! We're leaving.

Vex leave as her brother joins her before Velora ask curiously.

Velora: What does "fuck you" mean?

Keyleth: (Chuckles.) Kids. So adorable.

YN: They grow up pretty fast, am I right?

The rest join the twins and leave the city. As they're outside of the city, they found Garmelie who's sitting with the book.

Vax: Oh, goody. You're back.

Garmelie: (Smirk.) Never left. Turned invisible. Wouldn't have missed your little family tiff for the world.

YN: (Scoff.) Feel like we all should've missed it. And I thought my childhood was abusive.

Keyleth: How did that go for you?

YN: Unforgiving. But in the end, we learn important lessons.

Flash back.

Flash back ends, Percy POV

While they were having a conversation, I notice Vex is sitting alone quietly. So I decided to comfort her by sitting next to her before talking with her.

Percy: I should apologize for springing that title on you. I hope it didn't upset you, Vex.

Vex: (Smirk.) Its Lady Vex.

Percy: (Softly laughs.) Of course. Your father is quite the, uh...

Vex: Bag of cocks? Yeah, pretty much. (Sigh.) No one, other than my brother, has ever stood up for me like that. Thank you.

Percy: I may have wits and class, but I'll never have what you do. A pure heart. Its so special, Vex. And no one can take it away.

Vex: (Scoff.) We spent our childhood with mother, then father had us brought t live with him. (Fix her string.) I never understood. Why did he pull us away from her when he...he had no love for us?

Percy: (Softly smiles.) Must have felt good to tell him to fuck off, though.

Vex: Hmm, I wish it had. Somehow I feel like it hurt me more.

Percy: Here. I made something for you.

I hand her the head piece of a arrow for her. One I invented and believe it will be useful for her one day.

Vex: (Chuckles.) Its wonderful. (Smiles.) Thank you. And you know...I think I'll feel better when I shove that bow in his stupid, smug face.

Garmelie: (Smiles.) Onward we go.

We follow Garmelie who's leading us to the next vestige. Whatever it lies, it won't be easy.
