Kanarus sets the basket on the table as Maltoran offers his assistance to Shinlo and help him over to the table. Kanarus opens the basket to show a variety of foods.
Shinlo took the hand and said “sorry…Orion found my wounds from a fight a few weeks back..,they didn’t heal right so…he had to treat them…” he sat down and flinched at his back amd moved forward a little. His back was covered in the wrappings but the assassins could see what was going on.
Altoron nods. "Have and still do. There are some who have 'slaves' but in truth buy them to shelter them and slowly integrate them into the world as a free being. Some were once slaves as escaped or bought to be free and have even joined our order."
Shinlo nodded softly and said “I was taken as a child…my family killed in front of me…sold to a mine and worked till…” he paused, his memory blank suddenly. He held his head as he said “I was saved by…someone then given Isis…”
"My condolences." Altoron bowed his head. He listened to Shinlo's story as he place a gentle hand on his shoulder. "It's alright. You don't need to say more. I have seen the horrors that slaves are put through. Everyone should have the right to be free. Those who go against that will learn or be killed."
Carth steps into the room with a towel around his neck as he uses apart of it to dry his hair. He looks around before landing his gaze to his friends. "Good morning! What's going on?" He asks.
Shinlo looked confused as Scarlet came back in and asked “what’s wrong?” Shinlo blinked and said “I seem…to have some of my memories faded but…I know I knew them before…this is…strange…”
Shinlo said “means powerful magic is at work. Seems more going on then we first believed…” Ash walked in and looked around “what’s going on guys? I miss something?”
Carth sighed with frustration. Of course they were dealing with powerful magics. And right now it was happening to the one man that knew Ash better than they did. His thoughts got cut off when Ash came into the room.
"It seems Shinlo is losing bits of his memories. For now of himself." Altoron chimed in.
Ash moved to sit down and said “alright say Scarlet is a magic user with a skill over the mind. And say she wanted to disappear with no trace. A smart user would use a powerful spell known as a mental block to hide their identity from those who knew them from their memory. So when someone remembered meeting scarlet, it would be a human cut out”
"Oooohhhhh. So whomever he was trying to remember was cut out and we have no idea where they are now till they reveal themselves once more?" Carth summarizes, making sure he understood.
Ash nodded and said “exactly. I’ve seen this once before, a witch was trying to hide from hunters so ended up wiping the whole village of her face. They knew her name but only the name she told them, which was a fake name, and they couldn’t recall her face when she wasn’t around”
