Prologue
---------
"Well, hello there. My name's Kirby."
"Aye, and I'm Kester."
"We're dvati twins."
"Yeah, it's really confusing, but I'll sum it up like so. We're twins that share the same soul."
"Can't simplify it more than that."
"Well, you can, but-"
"Can't simplify it more than that."
"Right."
"We're a bit different from most dvati twins because we were orphans. We raised ourselves on the streets."
"By which he means I would hunt for food while he stood in a corner and relieved himself."
"Shut it."
"We became great theives and now practice sneakosity every day!"
"Sneakosity?"
"Look it up."
"In what? Webster hasn't been born yet!"
"Huh?"
"Oh right, I'm supposed to be in character."
"Huh?"
"..."
"Anyways, we now practice sneakosity every day."
"Sneakosity is not a word, I tell you!"
"That's not the point!"
"Yes it is!"
"No it's not!"
"YES IT IS!"
"NO IT'S NOT!"
"YOU ARE THE DUMBEST THING IN EXISTENCE!!"
"...Dude, just think about that for a second."
"...Dammit!"
"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe we should just end this here. They know all that they need to know for now."
"...Fine."
Chapter 1: The Hydra
---------------------
"Hey, all. It's me, Kirby."
"Kester too."
"Assuming no more arguments break out between the two of us, you shall find yourselves listening to quite a nice tale."
"And by nice he means long and boring."
"Must you always be so negative?"
"Yep."
"Oh well. Let's see...we were coming back from a local dungeon when we saw that the town that we'd been basing ourselves in had been ruined. Not knowing what had been going on, we investigated."
"We split up and looked around. We looted a little too."
"Shush. Don't tell them that! It's illegal."
"Ah, right. Illegal. Gotcha'."
"Anyways, I stumbled across a group of adventurers who had just slain a chimera. They were as puzzled as I was about the town's destruction, so I shouted for Kester and we went on our way."
"We entered a nearby mountain range and were headed for some dragon lair or something."
"The other guys knew more about it. They didn't really explain that much. Hell, they didn't even tell us their names."
"Besides that hyperactive Kobold. Dirk the Mighty."
"Oh yeah...him."
"We were in the mountains when a hydra attacked us. Not a pyrohydra, mind you, but a normal one."
"Yeah, we were wondering what it was doing all the way up in the mountains until we met its masters."
"Yep. Three big guys, humanoids as far as we could tell, in cloaks that covered their entire bodies."
"There were two blue ones and a red one. The red one was a spellcaster of some type because he gave the hydra a seventh head."
"Yeah."
"With a lot of difficutly, we were able to slay the hydra and the two blue guys."
"The blue guys, by the way, disappeared when they were destroyed, leaving only their cloaks."
"Oh, yeah. That was weird."
"Certainly was. Anyways, the red guy vanished in the blink of an eye...and took Dirk with him."
"Yep. It looks like we're going to have to find Dirk now."
"Indeed."
"Till next time, then."
"See ya'!"
