One Hell of a Party (U5 + Squish)

Relerin walks through the streets of Hyrule Castle Town not really doing anything or thinking of doing anything. Suddenly a paper smacks Relerin in the face knocking the necromancer back a step. Peeling the paper off his face Relerin sees that the paper is for a party in the Noble Estates. All these rich people gathering to look at some other rich person's collection. Something caught Ba'al's attention very quickly. A picture of a very jagged orange crystal.

The pentagram in Relerin's right eye flashes and Ba'al starts speaking through Relerin. "A Hell Stone? Here? How did a filthy Hylian get his hands on one of those?"

Relerin's eye flashes again. "A Hell Stone? What is that?"

"A Hell Stone, Whelp, is a discarded...well you Hylians would call it a claw from a Demonkind. It is said to have vast power of whatever Demonkind it came from. Whelp. You are going to crash a party."

"B-but...I do not wish to Ba'al. I am trying to NOT be hated by everyone I meet...well almost everyone the point is I'm not going to crash a party and steal from the Noble Estates."

At about this time Relerin hears a woman shouting, "GET YOUR SORRY ASS BACK HERE, THIEF!" A man runs past Relerin. In the split second that the man is beside Relerin Ba'al moves Relerin's staff to trip up the man. "Ba'al!" Relerin turns to the woman who was chasing the man. Holding his arms out in front of him Relerin tries to stop the woman. "Excuse me ma'am, but you look like you work at that inn over there. What did this man steal? If possible I will pay for it." Relerin digs some rupees out of his bag and holds them up to the woman.

Relerin slips the few Rupees he has left back into his bag as the man takes the paper from his hand. Relerin simply watches and listens as the man talks of robbing people at the party. Relerin opens his mouth to protest the man's decision as the pentagram in his eye flashes and Ba'al makes Relerin's mouth curve into an evil smile.

"So you are planning to rob the patrons of this party? Well maybe I should inform my mother, Lieutenant Summer of the Castle Town Guard, about your plans hm?" Ba'al turns Relerin away and begins to walk before stopping and saying back to the man. "Unless...you help me get something I need. The main display. The orange crystal, not that you'd know anything about it. It is very important to me and my...research. Get me in and get me that stone then I won't turn you in to my mother." Ba'al turns Relerin back around and walks back over to the man. "You will still have to pay me back though...times two and a half. Do we have a deal...Hylian?" Ba'al smiles a very large very evil grin and extends a hand.

"Good choice taking my deal. My name? You may refer to me as..." As Lamont shook Relerin's hand his eye flashed again as Relerin spoke.

"Ba'al! I said I would have no part in...Gah!" Relerin lets go of Lamont's hand and clutches his head as Ba'al gives Relerin a massive headache and yells at him inside his own head. "N-no Ba'al...gah!" Relerin falls to his knees clutching his head tightly. "Ba'al...stop...please...I'll...I'll do it." Relerin instantly looks to be better as Ba'al stops his yelling. Relerin collects himself, stands up and dusts himself off. "I am Relerin...Relerin Ba'al. It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Liesmith."

"Okay Mis...er Lamont. Right. Well my robes are a bit fancy, so I might be able to get in. You...hm...hold on a second please." Relerin takes off his back pack and sets it on the ground in front of him. He opens the bag and looks inside. "I know it's here somewhere. Where is it? No that's not it. No not that. What the? An octopus? No that's not it either." Relerin is digging through his bag. "Found it!" Relerin pulls out a nice looking black three piece suit from his bag. "For some reason a one Harry Massey was weeks late on picking up his suit. Not quite sure why I have it again, but maybe it'll fit you." Relerin offers the suit to Lamont.

"I am terribly sorry Ba'al has gotten you into a horrible deal like that. That is not very fair at all, but that is what you get with demons. Oh dear...did I say that out loud? That is not going to help my case at all."

Relerin looks a little hesitant. "Well...Ba'al has roped you into this deal, so I suppose I can tell you..." Relerin sighs digging through his bag again and pulling out a book. The book has a black cover with orange runes that are unrecognizable. Relerin opens the book and flips through the pages until stopping on one and shows the page to Lamont. "Ba'al also known as Death Demon Lord Ba'al was once the head Death Demon in Hell. When I was but one year old my parents were killed and I was supposed to be a sacrifice to Ba'al. The Town Guards, under the command of my adoptive mother Lieutenant Summer, stopped the summoning as Ba'al was halfway in our world. The half that was already here was transferred into me. Yes Ba'al is another person. I am not one person, but two."

The page in the book shows a terrifying picture of a demon tearing people apart and explains who Ba'al is. It is very detailed about Ba'al and his demons telling about their physiology, their social hierarchy, and even their place in Hell's Hierarchy. The book is extremely detailed and seems to be like it wan't meant for Hylian reading.

Relerin almost drops the book in shock. "Y-you are an outcast too? But you look normal and don't have a demon inside you. You aren't just saying that are you? D-do you genuinely know what it's like to be hated by everyone just because of something you could not control? To be mocked, ridiculed, or almost killed for being someone who is different?" Relerin says not in a mocking way, but is a curious way. There may be someone else who knows his pain. This makes Relerin extremely happy. He might not be alone. There may be someone else he can somewhat relate to.

Relerin shakes his head after being lost in thought before he puts his book back into his bag. Relerin heard Lamont say something about going to an inn to plan. "Yes...I think I have...aha! I do have one...my last one." Relerin digs in a side pocket of his bag and pulls out a Silver Rupee. He smiles before putting the rupee back in his bag. After zipping the side pocket back up Relerin looks up to see Lamont walking off gesturing for him. He runs to catch up to his Hylian companion. "Yes. An inn. I would suggest not the one you got chased out of. Hm. Oh I know of one follow me."

Relerin runs ahead of Lamont to another inn. He stops dead in his tracks as he sees Guards at the entrance. A tall slender woman wearing very nice Guard Armor with brown eyes and long red hair tied up in a bun stands in front of the other Guards giving them orders. "M-mother..." Relerin says quietly to himself as the woman glances over. Relerin jumps a bit then hides behind Lamont.

Summer gave her squad a run down of the mission to protect a party in the Noble Estates. She speaks with a soft yet commanding voice. "...and that is the situation as it stands right now. Any questions Guards?"

The Guards salute and shout in unison, "Ma'am, no ma'am!" The Guards drop their salute and march in unison into the inn. Summer sighs looking around rubbing her neck. She looks down an alleyway leading to the inn. She looks past two people then gives a double take thinking she saw someone...her adoptive son Relerin. Summer's brow raises as she walks towards who she thought was Relerin and a rather scruffy, older looking boy.

“Hello! Nice day, isn't it?” Summer nods to the older boy and replies, "Yes. It is." Summer looks around the older boy directly to Relerin. "Relerin?" Relerin tries to scoot a little more behind Lamont, but he can't. Knowing that he was caught he looks up at his adoptive mother his right eye being the first one that Summer sees.

"Y-yes mother." Relerin hesitantly looks fully up at his mother remembering the night he ran away from home.

Summer gives a very stern and almost angry looking face. "Relerin..." Summer breaths out heavily before her facial expression softens and she hugs Relerin tightly. "...you had me worried sick. Where did you think you could run off to? Why didn't you write or visit or something? What were you thinking running away from home?!"

Relerin looks very shocked. "M-mother...I...I'm sorry. I...I..."

Summer lets go of Relerin and smiles. "It's okay. You are here now and you are safe. That is all that matters. Who is your friend Relly?" Summer points to Lamont with a questioning look on her face.

"He is a Mister Lamont Liesmith. We...uh...I met him a while ago and we were just walking around the Castle Town mother."

"Mhm. Hello Mr. Liesmith. How long have you been a friend of my little Relly?"

Relerin's eyes widen a bit as Lamont steps back pushing him forward. Relerin slightly looks behind him before returning his eyes to his adoptive mother. "Yes. We were hoping to purchase some food and drink from this inn. I was going to break my last silver rupee."

Summer smiles. "Don't sweety. I'll get you two some food. Let's go." Summer rather forcefully pulls Lamont and Relerin into the inn with her.

"M-mother...we can walk. Is this really needed?" Relerin asks to no avail as Summer pulls the two into the inn. The Guards that Summer was giving orders to were all about the main floor of the inn. Some at tables, a few at the bar, and a few just standing around. Barmaids walk about the room giving out drinks and food. Summer pulls the two Hylian boys to an empty table and sits them down.

"I'll get you two some food. Stay here. There are some things that we need to talk about young man." Summer gives Relerin a more stern look. She them smiles at Lamont before walking over to the bar.

"Well...that was unexpected. I apologize about mother dragging us in here. I would rather not fight with mother though. Having her with us will make it more difficult to plan for the party, but I can't ask her to leave us alone. She hasn't seen me in many years."

Relerin quietly listens to Lamont's plan. That was one of the worse plans he had ever heard. Lamont had absolutely no clue about the layout of the mansion or of the Guard patterns his mother would place her Guards on. The run like there is no tomorrow almost made Ba'al laugh out loud at it's ridiculousness.

After Lamont leans back in the chair Relerin replies, "Lamont...I have doubts about the validity of that plan. We would first need to know the layout of the mansion and the patterns of..." Relerin glances over at his mother who returns to the table and sits next to Relerin. "...the fungal growth around the body before any solid guesses could be made about it's age. Hello mother."

Summer looks at Relerin questioningly before smiling. "The food will be out in a little while. Now Relerin you have been keeping out of trouble yes? Have you been eating well? Where have you been sleeping? Have you been able to deal with your...condition?"

Relerin blinks a bit at the avalanche of questions that his adoptive mother had launched at him. "Well yes mother. I have been keeping out of trouble..." False. "...I have been eating well..." When I actually have some food. "...I have been staying at various inns..." If Ba'al doesn't get me kicked out. "...I have...tried. I have yet to see any definite results as of yet. What have you been doing mother?" Mention the party. Mention the party.

"Well I have worried about you nonstop. I am on mission tonight thought."

"Oh? Would you happen to be the Guards that were dispatched to guard a party that I have been hearing about?"

"Well I suppose that isn't classified. Yes. My unit is the one guarding the party."

Bingo. "Mother. Might I ask you something?"

"You want me to bring you to the party don't you?"

Relerin acts surprised at his mother's asking, but she had actually done exactly what he wanted and expected. "Well yes. I thought it might be a good way to spend some time together. Since we met and I am sure you would rather not want to have something come between us catching up." Relerin smiles as he ignores Ba'al taunting of his lying and manipulating his adoptive mother.

Summer looks up in thought for a moment before looking back to Relerin smiling. "That is a wonderful idea. You can even bring your friend along if you want to. He may need some new clothes though."

Summer smiles. "Well good. We will be leaving as soon as you are ready. Oh here comes the food. Take your time." A barmaid brings out two huge plates full of food and lays one in front of Relerin and one in front of Lamont.

Relerin stares a bit at the food before he starts digging in. He devours the food in front of him eating every bit of it as if he hasn't really had food in a while.

Summer gives Relerin a weird look before shaking her head and walking over to speak with her Guards some more.
