I think today I may have made an unlikely friend.
While wandering outside Kashkar, just twirling a few coins I found in The Blue Parrot. I was listening to the water when I heard an odd thudding sound come up from behind. I drew my sword and turned about, thinking someone had come to take the coins from me. I was shocked. There was a huge, hulking beast approaching me; and as we met eyes, he drew a giant sword from his back.
A nervous conversation followed, and I cautiously resheathed my sword after many minutes, and luckily so did the beast. I found out he was a demon, and a dark knight. He had not meant me any harm, and was just following my scent. He seemed friendly enough, but I was still a bit frightened by him. Things seemed safe enough, so I cautiously strode away, asking the beast not to follow me.
Not long after I had returned to Ireem, the beast found me. We talked again, and I learned that he had a problem with our language. He seems to still be learning it. We had a chat once more, he learned the meaning of the word "follow," and I found out his presence, though in an odd way warm and calming, still made me nervous. I thought perhaps I had angered the demon, and found myself even more worried when he seemed to be getting hungry and wanted me to go with him to feed.
We parted ways again, and strangely, I think I may be able to make friends with the big brute.
