Edgin wishes Xenk wouldn't always take such risks. Xenk's just happy to receive Edgin's attention.

[hello-galad]

“Xenk, please. Please wake up”

“I can’t do this without you”

[mirach]

Edgin kept an eye on everyone, occasionally shouting instructions.

"Holga, to the left!"

"Simon, shield!"

"Xenk, now!"

"Doric, duck! No, I mean… oh well, that works, too."

***

(And then it went wrong and hurt/comfort happened. Here:)

There is a spell that makes the victim face their deepest fears. Both Xenk and Edgin will have to deal with its effects. Thankfully they've already figured out their relationship and are there for each other.

Edgin, Xenk and Kira have returned to Targos. Waking up in his old bed in the morning, Edgin finds something that reminds him of Zia.

Holding Out for a Hero: Part 5

Beep Boop - I rewatched the movie on Paramount + (its an extended cut, btw) and found inspiration to continue on.

Xenk X Cleric!OC, expanding the movie further along with Sword Coast, using dnd logic in a story format.

As always, No Beta, we die like Edgin's Wife.

IDK how to link the previous parts, I don't post THAT often so you should be able to find them on my page.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

His head felt... cloudy. Light.

Actually, his entire body felt that way.

Immediately sitting upright and opening his eyes was not his best idea, however.

He could feel the tenderness of a freshly healed wound, the phantom pain that tended to linger after a wound was healed with magic.

The battle. The cursed Nor'enth. Alariel!

His last memory was of her leaning over him, hair falling from the braid to frame her concerned face. He had said something to her, but he wasn't- No. How many times had he told the same advice to recovering criminals? The most harmful lies are the ones you tell yourself.

Xenk could remember his blather, the weakness he had shown at being close to her again. Of course, he had just been stabbed in the back by an assassin, but that was no excuse. Had she noticed?

Looking around at the tent he was in, he was surprised to see the chair by his bedside was occupied by the object of his thoughts. At first, he had felt his heart jump at her open eyes, until her lack of movement or focus on him made her state of trance apparent. He hadn't traveled with many full-blooded elves since they had traveled together. Xenk had for a moment forgotten the trance of the elves, their ability to go for much longer without a full sleep as mortals did.

He had been lost in his memories, seeing her sitting there. Xenk had reached a hand towards hers, which lingered on the edge of the cot he had been placed on when there was a quiet *ahem*. Not quite sure why he felt embarrassed being caught in the situation, his hand jerked away from it's intended destination and he had trouble looking the bard in the eyes.

"If you were wondering why it's me and not say, Simon, its because we drew lots and I got the short stick."

"I would expect you to want to bask in my discomfort."

Edgin uncrossed his arms and moved to help Xenk by passing him his overcoat. "Yeah, but when Little Miss Sunshine over there stormed in earlier, she scared Holga."

"I find it doubtful that it was true fear."

"Yeah well," Edgin turned his back as Xenk finished getting his clothes together "Let's just say Holga thought her small-clothes were in a twist."

Xenk turned sharply, "Holga could see her undergarments?"

"No! No, she could just tell how upset she was. If you had been awake for the tongue-lashing you were given - and no she didn't actually hit you with her tongue - you wouldn't have been staring at her like that when I walked in." Edgin moved to his side, "What's up with that, by the way. You certainly weren't looking at her like you were the one to end the relationship."

Xenk turned back to the sleeping elleth. He could not hide the tenderness in his eyes, nor the deep sadness. Even if his oath forbade it, Xenk was a bad liar. "Weakness. She was always my weakness."

"Oh," Edgin paused with him "You didn't like feeling weak so you ditched her. At least I now know what makes Mr.Perfect-"

"That is not why I had to leave Alariel."

Edgin was egging him on, "Well if you say it like that-"

"You also know my surname is Yendar."

"Maybe you should explain it a bit more, to make sure no one gets the wrong idea." Edgin sat in another empty seat by a thankfully empty cot.

"I once gave you advice. To drag your lady... Your lady-love back to her old life is to deprive her of her new one. Alariel and I had started our journey together under the guise of traditional party members. There were others with us, but they came and went, our missions were so aligned that it made sense to stick together. Until it wasn't."

Xenk could feel the memories threatening to drown him. "But somewhere in-between that you two fell in love." Edgin looked confused.

"That's what I said."

Edgin was confused.

"So you loved her because she had the same goals as you?"

"No."

"Okay, maybe start at the beginning."

So Xenk began the tale of his engagement with Alariel.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

See where this is going? Now I get to write knight fluff. :)

[ari-the-arotistic]

Why is that every time queer people try to represent themselves in media by shipping certain characters or making certain headcannons, people like you have to get on their high horse and complain about it? If you don't like a ship, literally all you have to do is ignore it

why is it that every single time any two male characters interact, it has to immediately become a gay ship?🙄🙄🙄

its tiresome. not everything is gay. men can just interact and be friends.

[sidekick-hero]

Okay but hear me out. The new dnd movie was like watching a campaign designed by Eddie - only that Eddie also played a character.

I mean Edgin (HELLO??? ED???) Darvis, a bard that lives as a thief but is chaotic good and does the right thing in the end??? Who is witty and sarcastic and cunning and charms people all the time with his words and his music and who is also a chaotic racoon man?

And then they meet the Paladin Xenk Yendar, who is the hottest fucking thing that ever graced this earth?? Who fights like he was born to do it, graceful and athletic and so, so strong? All while looking like a god? And he is lawful good, protects the weak and is haunted by his past? A past where he lost everyone he ever loved so he doesn't get attached but is willing to risk his fucking life to save the bard that keeps on mocking him?? Who is painfully sincere but also has hidden depth and definitely a sense of humor even if it's hard to detect?

And at first the bard hates the paladin, doesn't trust him because of what his kind represents to him (Steve, a former jock and Eddie's mistrust of jocks because they hurt him and his like). And yet the bard can't leave the paladin alone. And the paladin believes in the bard even when the bard himself doesn't ("Give yourself a break man" Steve said to Eddie when Eddie joked about himself being a coward). And then the paladin saves the bard's life and the bard has to admit that the paladin is actually a good guy???

I'm sorry but where is the steddie AU for this movie????

Cruel Trick of Fate - Xenk Yendar Imagine [Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves]

Title: Cruel Fate

Pairing: Xenk Yendar X Reader

Word Count: 1,508 words

Warning(s): self-image issues (i think that's a good way to describe it), mention of attack

Summary: Xenk saves the life of a person in need. (Y/n)'s time spent healing brings the duo exceptionally closer than either of them considered to be possible.

Author's Note: I don't know if I'm surprised that this is happening or not.

------------------------

My story truly begins when I woke up in what I assumed was a cave.

I had no idea where I was or how I had gotten there. And once I blinked the sleep from my eyes, I realized those facts and shoved myself out of the bed.

I scrambled, doing a circle in the hopes of getting some kind of hold on my surroundings. It didn't do much.

I reached over blindly, grabbing a stick of some kind that I could use as a makeshift weapon.

"You shouldn't be moving around."

I jumped when I heard a voice. I held out my arms, trying to look more threatening to the man than I actually was.

"You hit your head," he said. "You should sit down before your head begins to hurt again."

"Who are you and where am I," I asked. "And why did you bring me here?"

"My name is Xenk Yendar, this is my home, and you were attacked," he answered simply.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "That didn't actually answer my final question."

"Your head was hurt," he repeated. "By the creature that attacked you. Do you not remember?"

"Head injuries can impact memory," I replied. "Shocking, I know."

"I do not find that shocking at all," his eyebrows furrowed for a moment.

"I was being- it wasn't- why am I explaining the concept of language to you," I scolded myself more than I truly spoke to him. "Let me go."

"I cannot do that in good conscience," he shook his head. "How are you feeling?"

"I- I'm fine," I blinked a few times when a spiking pain shot through my head, finding a place in my temple to continuously remind me of its presence. "I want to go home."

"If I allow you to do that and you end up even more hurt on the trip, then I would never be able to forgive myself."

"Then you can guide me, how's... how's that?"

I must've swayed a bit when I spoke.

Xenk stepped forward, only stopping when I shakily pointed the stick at him.

"You are threatening me with a stick and are clearly weak, please sit down," he pleaded.

I closed my eyes, my face scrunching up a bit as I did so. I felt him pull the stick from my hands before guiding me to sit back down on the bed.

"I will be right back."

I dug the heels of my hands into my eyes, not acknowledging his comment.

At the time, I decided that the entire event was decided by some cruel act of fate.

It felt like I spent ages with Xenk.

At first, I was angry. Dismissive. I made my discomfort very well known. The more that I looked back on that time, the more stunned I am that Xenk never told me to leave. He refused to give up on me until I was fully healed.

I did eventually begin to calm down. Anger and annoyance became something close to indifference. It was all much calmer. We would eat together, conversations were less awkward, and my constant need to fight or run seemed to dissipate.

When that indifference changed, I wanted to refuse that it happened.

It felt strange to think that such a change had happened. Ridiculous.

It was so much easier for me to ignore it happened at all.

And then, Xenk came back with a wound on his arm.

I furrowed my eyebrows as he walked in.

"Are you alright," I asked.

He nodded. "Just need to take care of this."

I watched him for a while as he cleaned his wound and attempted to take care of it. It didn't seem like a very intense wound, but it did seem a bit difficult for him to take care of.

It took me far too long to finally step in.

"Alright, stop," I walked over and swatted his hand away. "I may go mad watching your stubbornness."

His eyebrows furrowed for a moment. "How would my supposed stubbornness cause you to lose- you were figurative!"

"Yes," I nodded as I moved his arm. He hissed a bit. "Does that hurt?"

"Not at all," he replied, voice slightly strained.

I rolled my eyes before walking around him and sitting behind him on the mattress. He was able to lower his arm and I was still able to properly take care of his wound.

I remained quiet as I wrapped his arm. I was the youngest in my family. My experience with tending to wounds was minuscule. But I could do some of the bare minimum.

"How is that," I asked quietly after pulling my hands away.

"Better than I could have done on my own," he mumbled.

It was then that I noticed how... strange the moment felt. We were so close and it all felt so... intimate.

We fell silent again. We both seemed fixated on watching each other's eyes. As if we were attempting to read each other's minds before either one of us made a mistake.

I nodded somewhat awkwardly before going to stand from my spot. "I... I think I am going to make us both some tea. I know that it won't heal you, but it certainly couldn't hurt."

I went to walk away, but his good hand stopped me, catching my wrist before I could get too far away from him. I stopped, turning back to him.

"What is it," I asked quietly.

He blinked a few times as if suddenly realizing what he had actually done. "I... I'm afraid that I don't truly know. I'm sorry."

He let go of my wrist, still stunned by himself.

I paused for a moment. After contemplating my choices, I stepped closer to him. He looked up at me.

My eyes moved up to his forehead. I don't know why. I think holding eye contact with him was simply too intense. I heard him sigh as my eyes moved. He must have assumed that I was staring at the mark decorating his skin and not just trying to cope with my own emotions.

"That is why it has taken you so long to fully trust me," he muttered.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "What?"

"The symbol of Szass Tam," he explained, looking away from me. "Some part of me will always be lost to it. I am closer to a monster than not... it is why you were so hesitant to trust me."

"No," I shook my head. "No, no, Xenk. That is not true."

He looked at me again.

"I didn't trust you because I was hurt and found myself in a strange place with a person that I had never met before," I corrected. "It was a very understandable reaction. But once I got to know you, I trusted you more. I cannot think of a single moment that the symbol on your forehead was what determined how I felt about you.

"You are also far from any kind of monster. You are a hero. You have saved many people, you protected me when you didn't even know my name, you have vowed yourself to a life helping others. I don't know a monster that would ever do such a thing."

Xenk seemed to scan every inch of my face, waiting for some sign that I was being dishonest. I reached up, gently running my thumb over the mark on his forehead. He took a deep breath, eyes falling shut as I did.

"Silly thing, really," I muttered. "I didn't even notice it when we first met. Did you know that?"

"Really?"

I nodded. "I was a little too focused on other things... like figuring out what had happened."

"When did you notice it," he asked.

"We were having dinner. That first night," I said. "I was refusing to eat until you did, so I had nothing to focus on other than you. That's when I started making out the symbol. I just... I couldn't bring myself to care about it."

"Why?"

"Don't know," I shrugged. "Instinct... fate?"

"I do not understand why fate would prevent you from caring."

"Maybe fate didn't want me to leave," I replied. "If I cared about the mark, then I would have."

"And why would fate not want you to leave?"

I could see something cross his face. Some small, knowing look. I bit back a growing smile at the idea. There was this air of safety and comfort. Security in whatever choice I made next.

I took a deep breath before leaning down and gently pressing my lips to his. I felt the hand of his uninjured arm reach up and touch the hand not resting on his face.

It was only a few moments before I pulled away. I slowly grinned at him. He smiled back at me.

"I'm glad that fate kept you from leaving," he muttered.

I chuckled. "So am I."

I leaned forward and kissed him again.

Quite a cruel trick that fate decided to play, wasn't it?

------------------------

Author's Note: I just wanna brag about the fact that I managed to guess where this movie was filmed while I was watching it with a friend. It was the coolest thing I've done in a long time.

Also, that I kept making comparisons between this movie and Ella Enchanted, but that's not really as cool.

┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅

I was busy reading an amazing book about a mythological dragon in the under dark until I was disturbed by a familiar voice

" hey there sweet potato " I turn to see my brother and holga coming this way

" no way..." I said and pinch myself hard. Which I regret

" no need to pinch your , potato " I heard holga said . I admittedly run up to hug them both as I haven't seen them in 2 years

" I missed you guys " i said and then both patted my back

" we missed you too potato."

" potato? " I heard a female say

" yeah that's her nickname because she likes potatos " Simon explains to the female which I think it's Doric.

" oh hey Simon I did see you there" I said while turning to doric

" you most be doric , I'm y/n " I say shaking her hand

" how do you know how I am? " she said confused

" oh daring I know everything " I say while getting her a closer look also writting down some notes

" so can you really shape shift into any animal ?" I say curious

" yes she can " Simon said leaning to a pole but failed miserably

" so what do want Brother ? " I said crossing my arms

" what? Can't I see my little potato after 2 years in prison? " he said with open arms

" you broke out of prison. " I say . He sighs

" we need your help " holga said

" yeah. I'm guessing you need to find something or someone because you already formed have a team. " I say

" she's smart " doric said

" because she my sister . " edgin replied , that hurted me a little

" it's about kira isn't it? And forge wouldn't give you the Tablet of Reawakening" I say towards my brother and holga they both nodded

" why didn't you stay with kira while we where gone " I just sigh

" when you both where captured by that time spell, and you told me about to look after kira but forge told me he could look after her and I could go on with exploring and adventure and I couldn't do that with kira, she could get hurt or even worse. So forge toke care of her for me while I was gone , I did try and visit her once or twice a month. But then she started to get distance . " I took a deep breath and tole them what happened during the two years while the where gone

"Then I realized the forge was making up lies to kira about why you left and why i didn't take her with me , that tried to convince kira that forge was lying but she won't listen to me so I gave up. " I said looking at my brother eyes .

" that trader ! " holga yelled

" I'm sorry Ed..... I should have-"

" its okay y/n and I forgive you because your my sister " edgin said while giving me a hug

" how sweet of them , brother and sister reunited "

" read you crying Simon? " doric said

" of course not it's just that there is dust in my eye" Simon quickly dry his tears with his hand , doric just rolled her eyes.

" so do you know where xenk yendar is? " Simon said after holga , doric and Ed explain how they whent to a grave yard to dig holga great ancestors just to know where the helmet of disjunction is kept.

" wait xenk yendar? " I said confused

" do you know him? " holga ask

" well I heard about him a lot " i said going through my journal.

" so what do you know about him? what does he look like ? " Ed asked me clearly not trusting him

" he's a handsome and muscular man, he had an altogether striking appearance. He has a tattoo on his forehead that marked him as a Thayan and was the symbol of Szass Tam.He wore ornate half-plate armor trimmed and emblazoned with gold designs, over blue-green attire and under a fine cloak.

The very image of the knight in shining armor, of the resolute paladin, Xenk embodied what it meant to be a heroic divine warrior against all the odds. He had sworn an Oath of Devotion to help the innocent and uphold justice and he had a reputation for kindliness , honor, and integrity. His longevity gave him a farther perspective and more experience than most, yet it could also be a burden upon him.

Xenk has an aura about him that helped protect those near him from harm. With his cleansing touch, he could not only heal a fellow creature's wounds but also cure what ailed them as with lesser restoration. He was capable of other divine magic and had great prowess as a warrior, and could cause his blades to strike with a radiant energy. He could sense the presence of evil by smelling it-"

" he can smell evil? Now that is absurd " edhing said cuting me off

I know it's hard to believe but that what they told me . Anways He was athletic and insightful, and was learned in history and skilled in survival and also had keen hearing" I explain to them what I know

" how do you know so much about him potato. " holga said

" I have my ways " I closed my journal and put it back in my bag

" so do you know where he is now " doric said

" yup "

" that's great now let's go people ! " edgin clapped his hand to get us moving.

" so where is he,potato ? " he said getting on his horse

" the village of Mornbryn's Shield on the River Surbrin " I said knowing full well that my brother didn't like that place

" wow great " edgin said annoyed

" what's which him " doric asked Simon

" he has a thing at the village of Mornbryn's Shield " Simon explain.

We bother arrived at the the village of Mornbryn's Shield and just in time to witness xenk taking out his coat to someone and rescuing a tabaxi baby that had been swallowed by a monstrous fish. Xenk return the baby to its mother, the mother was thankfull and they all reached as xenk took his coat back.

" well he's interesting " doric said with a smile

" well I see more interesting " Simon complained

" come on let's follow him " I said while talking notes what just happened

" why are you writing it done? " edgin elbowed me

" I'm a journalist I write down what interest me " I said punching him at the shoulder

We followed him to see him make a donation to a dragonborn beggar.

" xenk excuse me uhm Sir....uhm xenk? " I said trying to his attention but he kept walking and ignored me

" okay seems like he won't stop . Hey, look man . I know you have the helmet of disjunction it belongs to holga great ancestors would you mind returning it? " I said still following him

" we need that helm to rob and bring down the corrupt and tyrannical Lord Forge Fitzwilliam of Neverwinter and of his connection to a Red Wizard, Sofina." I said gaining xenk interest as he stopped as he turn to me

" and I know you have the same hatred for them " I said looking into his eyes

" how much does she knows " I heard holga whisper

" I have no idea " edgin replied

" come in " xenk said inviting us to his house which was really nice. We made our way down to see many bookself and some old scrolls. And I couldn't help myself

" holy moly! " my face lit up looking at each individual books and scolls

" do you mind? " I ask xenk if I could touch them

" not at all " I squeal excitedly .

" she has a thing for knowledge and stuff , she goes crazy for thme" holga explain to xenk as he watch me going left and right .

I was busy with the books from xenk that I only know for xenk assistance in finding the helmet of disjunction, Xenk required that the thieves share any stolen riches with the Neverwintan people,

" I swear " Edgin very reluctantly agreed, swearing it on a Harper book at Xenk's demand. Xenk gave him the book and edgin to Simon instead " here hold this "

" so where's the helm ? " I asked

" wait the under dark ? " doric said

" we're you trying to keep it save? Why would you ever put it down there ?" edgin complains

" because it would be the last place anyone who value their life would go " I hear xenk say

" sounds lovely " Simon said

" quite the opposite " xenk told Simon in a serious tone

" I know I was being ironic " Simon said

" I find irony is a blade that cuts he who wields it most especially " xenk stare at Simon

" you not a lot of fun are you " holga comment

" xenk isn't the person who get jokes or stuff like that " they all turn to me while I sit on a chair with a table full of books and scolls

" what? " I ask them

It was late, the sun was gone and night came I'm still writing and reading some books that interested me . " displacer beast....? " I curiously flip thor the pages until I found a sketch of the beast " wow, it has tail like tentacles, it said he that those tentacles projects a illusion , to tick it's prey . That genius ! " I said standing up while grabbig the book in hand

" shouldn't you be resting, y/n "

" aagh! " I trew the book at the person who startled me only to relax when it's xenk

" oh hey....xenk.... Don't startled me like that " I say

" I did not think you where quite a frightening person so I didn't know for that I'm Terribly sorry " he apologies and hand me the book he caught.

" oh you don't have to apologize for that and I'm not sleepy " I say putting the book on the table

" do need a drink? " xenk asked me

" you have whisky or beer ? "

" no, I find that drinking unnecessary " xenk said with a deadpan face as I just stood there quietly. Think why he asked me if I wanted a drink but he doesn't have any alcohol

" here." Xenk handed me a cup of tea .

" thank you " I took it from his hands. We both are sitting on porch watching the stars . It was a bit chilly tonight and xenk handed me a warm blanket to help me to keep warm .

" you are an astrophile aren't you ? " xenk started. I just smiled

" not only that but I'm also Pluviophile, Heliophile, Selenophile" I feeling him staring so looked at him

" so tell me more about yourself xenk " I say sipping my warm tea

" what do you want to know?, though you already know a lot about me " he said smiling

" well first of all how old are you? " I said wondering how he doesn't age like the rest of us

" I wish I could tell you but I don't even know , after Szass used the horn of beckoning death to invoke a terrible red wizards, I evaded the Beckoning Death, but only barely, and the mark of Szass Tam on my head glowed with a magical connection. I lost a part of myself to the ritual and was left changed by the necromantic magic. From then on, i would age slowly and live through the next century."

" what ! ? " I spitting my tea shocked that this man right in front of me is close or more then a century old

" is it that surprising ? "

" I knew you were old, you meeting holga great grapa or was it great cousin,but I didn't thought you were that old. " I was still in shocked but he just chuckled .

" is it true you have dark vision? "

" yes i do "

" can you protect people around you with your Aura of protection or is that just false ? "

" if they are within ten feet "

" and I guess its the same with hearing "

" do you have any immunities ? "

" charmed , frightened and poisoned "

" wow. Okay. Uhm I also heard you can sense evil? "

" in deed I can, and it's a helpful sence to have, so you know who is good and who is not. Like for you example, I would not have answered any of your questions , because if I do my enemies would use it against me."

" then why-"

"Because I know you certainly, aren't one of those people. You ate trust worthy and one of the kind."

" so are you a rake? " that question just popped up in my head after what he just said

" beg your pardon? "

" since you are 100 to 200 years old you have many partners right? " I said

" I am certainly not a rake " xenk said putting his cups down

" huh." I sipped mine and put it aside

" do you know what a rake is xenk? " maybe he doesn't know what it means

" I assure you that I am not . "

" do you have a pattern or.... Do you find ilove is meaningless or a-"

" I find that word ' love ' is complex "

" wait you don't know what love is? " I said in disbelief

" I know what it means, but sense it " xenk explain

" well if love someone dearly you warm inside your heart, you want to do everything you can to make that person happy, you take a risk for that person. You can't let go of that person, like you can't get enough of " I try to explain the best way I can even tho I haven't even fell in love yet

" ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ғᴀʟʟᴇɴ, ʏ/ɴ ? " he said looking me in the eye with the softest voice.

" ....maybe.... " I said in a whisper , feeling my cheeks heet up and my heart thumping in my chest as it also warm

* heart beat *

" quit staring at my potato, you-"

" way to ruin the moment edgin ! " we both turn to see Simon, doric and my brother ed standing behind the wall

" she's potato and I don't trust him ! " Ed reason with doric and Simon

" I think I'm ready to call it a night now, xenk " I say in a sleepy voice

" sleep well " he than patted my head

" get your hand off my potato!" Holga then throws a potato at xenk

" holga your awake! " edgin yelled

" yeah I came for a midnight snack "

" you know it's not your house right so you can't eat the man's food " Simon said concert

" so? " holga raised her brow

" I will not be complicit in the illicit use of ill-gotten booty "

" can someone else rude next to this guy ! " edgin complains .

We got off our hearses and xenk grabbed some ropes we followed him

" follow me to the orifice " xenk said tying the rope around the tree

" the orifice? " ed said

" there are many ways to get in to the orifice " xenk said while walking then he stopped and turned around to face us as he fell backwards. We all watched but can't see anything as it to dark .

" I'll go last." Simon said afraid.

" doesnt that look dangerous. I'll go first then " I slowly made my way down hang on to the rope. It's pretty dark here I thought I let go of the rope thinking im already at the bottom but boy was I wrong

" aagh ! " I scream but was caught by someone and that someone is xenk as he's the only here

" are you okay? " I just nodded

" that was stupid of me " I say

" we all do some unintelligent things " xenk said . The rest made it down Simon caming last , xenjso explain how dangerous and dark it is here in the under dark

" hold me hand and I'll will lead you "

" I'm not going to hold his hand " Ed said I just raised a brow at him . We all started walking and following xenk while Ed is holding my hand like a child.

" keep your guard up. I don't trust this guy "

" after he is helping us? " holga said

" I just don't trust this guy, he most have something up his sleeves "admin whisper back to holga

" there is nothing up my sleeves but my arm" xenk said

" how can he hear that !? " edgin said in shocked

" I hate you " edgin whisper back at xenk but xenk just smirk at edgin words

After venturing down into the Underdark, we came passed uninterested intellect devourers and arrived at the ruins of Dolblunde, wherein Xenk had hidden the helmet of disjunction long ago.

" stop , don't move ! "xenk said

" are those imtellect devourers " I said looking at the brain like monsters. Xenk explain how they devour the human brain, leaving just the body so it can control it. We did not move until the those monster passed us

" well that was a little hurtful " Ed said

We reach the bridge after some time , xenk negotiating the trapped collapsing bridges , before Xenk could finish explaining the intricately complicated technique needed to cross them , was suddenly triggering and began to collapse.

" uhm.... Looks like I accidentally trigger the mechanism sorry about that " We all looking at Simon as he lifted his foot off the trigger

" great how do we get to the helmet this time." I walk back and forth because I want to get out of here soon as possible. Do you know how hot it is here? Where we are surrounded by lava it's crazy hot and I don't like it when it's to hot.

" hey what is that? " Simon pointed that holga is holding

" this? It murlamins old walking stick " holga

" that's not a walking stick " holding it as he turns it

" in fact a Hither-Thither Staffx "Simon said making a portal for use to there across the bridge. Finding and opening the gnomish mechanical box, Xenk retrieved the helm and hands it to edgin.

" promise me, you protected your very life."

" I will " edgin takes it form xenk hands and tossed it to, Simon

"hold this "

" hey guy.... I think we are not alone....." I said as feel the back of my hair standing up. Thats when a band of undead Thayan assassins led by Dralas showed up, having been sent by Sofina to find and kill the thieves. Xenk and Dralas taunted one another; it was not the first time they'd clashed. They fought valiantly, with Xenk handily taking down the whole squad of assassins and impressing the others, as his companions provided a little aid but mostly just watched. At last, Xenk dueled and defeated his old enemy Dralas.

" wow.im glad he's on our side " holga said impressed

" we need to go now " xenk said

" they are undead right that means they will get up any second since the undead can not stay dead for long; their wounds regenerated . " just when I finished my sentence they all begin to rice up

" RUN !!! " xenk scream, with no second to waist we all run for our lives . Running towards the ground full of bones but we are interrupted by the surprise appearance of the red dragon Themberchaud

" is that a the red dragon ?! What that doing here that beast is far from his home!" I said observing the dragon

" he most have created a new dent." Xenk said

" what? did he eat the last ? " edging said

" pretty sure because that a FAT ASS DRAGON ! " I yelled we all retreat and run away from the dragon as it deals with the undead assassins, by simply eating them, but then turned his attention to the us , chasing them around the ruins and its bridges and breathing fire. At one point, unable to fly up, he pushed a bridge down, causing Edgin and me to slide down toward his mouth. But stopped only when Xenk heroically leaped overhead and thrust his sword into Themberchaud's head

" are you okay potato? " egind said holding my hand as he lifted me up

" yeah. But I think I sprained my foot but I'm good I can still run and also remind me to never take me with you on adventures " I said

" are you two hurt? " xend said

" I'm fine and thanks for saving me. " edgin said

" you would have done the same" xenk said back towards edgin

" yeah...totally" I know that's a lie xenk turns his attention to me and saw that little hurt he could use the cleansing touch but that will take some time and the dragon has no serious harm done and is recovering fast

" come on let's go " xenk lifted me up like I weigh nothing and carry me to the others as edgin follows with Themberchaud chased all of us into a narrow cave, but could not get his head through.

" what do we do now? " Simon said in a panic because the damage caused seawater to leak in.

" this is seawater, right, that means-" I said looking at my brother as he was quick to catch on and made a plan and explain it to the other

" are you sure that would only get him more " Simon said

" this is our only way out ! " In the end, we manage to get Themberchaud to breathe gas and create an explosion that would open a water channel and free us all.

* gasp *

We all made our way to the surface and swim to the sure where i rest for a bit as Xenk was pleased with Edgin returning to the heroic ways of the Harper.

" are you sure you don't want to come and join us? " edgun asked Xenk

" yeah because your basically good at every thing " Simon said

" I wish I can but this is your quest to fulfill " Xenk said and turns to me if doing alright

" man I can't believe I'm doing this . Will you take care of her for me while I'm gone? " Xenk then turns his attention to edgin

" I know she is just a little hurt but that's because of me and I don't want to bring her with me or else she gets more in danger. And she the only family I have left except for kira " edgin said, xenk just smile before saying " I will "

" wait I'm not going with you? "

" sorry potato. But you can't it's to dangerous and I don't want you to get hurt. And I know your old enough but I'm still your brother. And my job is to protect you. " edgin said before ruffling my hair

" okay." Me and xenk then started to head back to the village of Mornbryn's Shield .

" hey xenk " ending yelled

"Just so you know you have my permission to BANG my potato ! " edgin whisper so only xenk could hear

" what? " I yelled back but no reply , then turn to xenk who was smiling

" what did he just say? " I ask

" he just gave me permission "

" permission for what " I asked confused

" permission to do this " xenk then lean close as he gave me a a soft peck on my lips. My eyes is widden in shock and my lips were frozen of what happened just happened

" y/n "

" yes xenk..." I said still shocked

" I just want you to know your the most beautiful diamond of the first water."

" May I hold your hand? " Xenk said as he reached out to hold my hand of course I let him , because he just said that I'm the most beautiful woman .

With that our relationship began

The end

Something to remember

A xedgin + found family fic for @febuwhump day 2 "solitary confinement"

Xenk is kidnapped by Red Wizards and held captive by a sinister figure, Lord Relian. Relian believes his mansion is hidden enough and Xenk alone enough that no one will remember him and come looking for him. He'll do his worst to convince Xenk of that and break him in his soul. But there are some people who could never forget Xenk.

Another story, because Xenk also needs to be cared for when he's hurt!

"I apologize for the inconvenience," Xenk Yendar said, and collapsed on his doorstep.

When Xenk is hurt in a mission that made his nightmares resurface, Edgin tries to convince him to stop putting other's needs in front of his own. To do that, he might need to reconsider some things about himself, too.

Fic Rec: Roll Here in My Ashes

Title: Roll Here in My Ashes Author: LeftHalfOfLancelot Rating: T Pairing: Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar Words: 9,052 Summary: Wounds like these never truly heal or close, simply stop bleeding, require less dressing. The throb of pain becomes a second heartbeat, letting him know that she's still there, nestled away in some part of him. A part of him that hurts, sure, but it feels better than the numbness of frost and cold turning into bitter nothing. Her laughter, the way Edgin remembers it, feels a lot like letting go. Xenk's, so similar, feels more like breathing in. Maybe that glimpse of something else means he's almost there.

Edgin deals with grief and loss even more after Neverwinter—after Holga. Because it's real now and it's hard to accept that. The world seems eager to leave him behind, no matter how hard he tries to reach out. Then there's a hand in the dark, finding purchase, pulling him out. Xenk always seems to find out exactly where he needs to be.

[blackkatmagic]

I adore all of the Xenk Yendar content. I adored the movie, and he was a big part of why. I kind of have this image in my head of him and Fay from SW meeting and it's kind of glorious

Ngl he was my absolute favorite part of the movie - something about a character with a tragic backstory who's so devotedly and determinedly good no matter what gets me every time. And it doesn't hurt that he's incredibly funny.
