[IRP] Between Two Worlds

[Cynon]

The second thug made an approach on Sergius, but Selia's second spell put more holes in him before he could get close enough. As the man tumbled to the ground, Selia approached him, and instead of interrogating him, she delivered a kick to the man's groin out of annoyance.

After noticing a lack of a response from the man's body, Selia peered down the alley where the man had apparently shouted to another. She saw nobody, before returning to the corpse of the innocent man in the alley. While she listened to Sergius shouting at the first thug, Selia was more interested in the belongings of the unfortunate soul that had been murdered.

Hearing Sergius ask the thug why he apparently lacked light confused Selia a bit, but it confused the thug even more.

"Why do I lack what?!" the thug shouted back at Sergius, confused by the question and not afraid for his own life.
"Let me go, you heretic... your willingness to side with these sinners and heathens is why your country has failed you!"

Selia inspected the two books on the corpse, and one of them was a book on elder magic. The other appeared to be some kind of history book, which Selia intended to ponder over later. What interested Selia most was not the books themselves, but that the elder magic tome appeared to have notations in it written in Eshren.

Curious, Selia looked at the corpse's eyes, and they were a shade of purple that was unmistakable. This man was from the Eshren part of Sanovar, but Selia did not recognize his face.

"Listen to your own religious leader, you tarvos-spawn." Selia said to the thug whom Sergius had in his grasp in a hard tone. She noticed that the man understood the term Eshrens had for brigands, particularly applying to Lycian brigands.

"The both of you and everyone in this town are sinners that will meet their end in the fiery pits of hell!" the man replied back.
