Demon

I'm a touch over-dressed for a swords & sorcery epic, but, oh well... Nightcrawler thinks aloud, as he decides to, carefully, from a distance, follow the dragon-handler, and try to figure out both more about where he is and, possibly, a way home. He imagined it wouldn't be as simple as clicking his heels together, or teleporting back.

Nightcrawler learns that he's in the city of Galax on the planet Crystalium. Since the death of the king, his brother, Lord Feldspar, has been the appointed regent of Crystalium. Uncle of Prince Crystar and Prince Moltar, Feldspar has taken authority over the planet until the twins have settled their conflict. But before Kurt can figure out a way home...

Even as his head is spinning with this new information, the only thing that comes to his mind is, "No, wait, I can explain..."

Real smooth, Wagner... he thinks as he prepares for the worst.

Unfortunately, this glass person seems to have taken a profound dislike to Nightcrawler.

"A demon! In the marketplace!" He cries, flying off. "A real one!"

"An evil, rotten, nasty demon!"

If strange things are going to keep happening to Kurt, he'd best be prepared for it... or at least dressed for it.

I liked this tux... Nightcrawler grumbled mentally as he ripped it off, revealing his X-Men costume underneath. "Definitely not how I want to spend my evening..."

"I'm surprised your uncle agreed to let us search, Crystar." The dragon-rider has returned with a search party!

"Are you kidding? I'm surprised he didn't put us all in jail for the night. We were lucky!" a second voice replies. "Koth, why do you always have to do that?"

"Do what?"

Vas ist--?!

This must be the famous Crystar... "Um, excuse me," Nightcrawler steps forward, "I mean no harm! I am called Nightcrawler, and I am not native to this world. I am looking for a way home, and I was wondering if you could help. Even an Offworlder such as I has heard the reputation of Mighty Prince Crystar."

Before Nightcrawler can fully explain himself, the one called Koth throws a net over him. "Do you deny that chaos sent you here?"

"It's got to be Moltar's doing," Crystar presumes drawing his sword. "Or Zadreth's. Only once that we know, have there ever been demons on Crystalium in our entire history. And that was when chaos itself sent them, hoping to conquer our world."

"And, of course Moltar and his followers all were converted into men and women of Magma to signify their allegiance to chaos's cause." Koth adds.

"If Moltar sent you here, demon, then my brother has violated the terms of his banishment, despite your claim that your presence in this city means no danger to the people."

[Caught in a net.]

[dorkknight23]

"I am not a demon!" Nightcrawler protests, knowing full well he could easily escape from a net. "I am from the planet Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy, I am a human mutant, unusual looking, even among my brethren, but not a demon. I do not know who summoned me here or why, I am one lone lost man, and I am asking for help. Please, you must show compassion!"

"Earth," there is recognition in Crystar's voice. "That strange land we once visited by magic."

Crystar motions for Koth to remove the net. "If you do come from Earth, well, there are only two among all the people of Crystalium who've ever opened the pathway to Earth.."

"Right. One of them is Ika's father, the wizard, Ogeode," Koth says, freeing Nightcrawler. "And the other is... Zardeth."

"So our answers my lie in the caverns of chaos after all...!"

"If there is anything I can do to aid you," Kurt says, "I am no slouch with a sword."

[andyman]

Nightcrawler joins Crystar and Koth on the journey to the Caverns of Chaos, but they do not arm him with a sword.

And ran into trouble, by the look of things...

And ran into trouble, by the look of things...

Nightcrawler remained on his toes, aware of the possibility of an ambush.
