After the two gods heard the whole mission, they stared at each other to confirm they were not insane, the words they heard and the things they were to do, sent shivers up their spines, however, neither rejected such a good chance to take a bigger piece of the faith in the planet, the two smiled at each other after seeing that they both were soaking wet from sweat, the unease in each face was the same.

Still, the two gods were unable to refuse Yunan, he was giving them enough benefits to convince even the lowest of gods to take action against the divine realms, after a few moments the two signed the contract prepared by Yunan, using their divinities as their collateral if they failed to perform the rather simple but devilish plan.

After the two were given a small abode in Dreamscape to work in, Yunan left the place and returned home, he grabbed Bail, Balin and Dustan and took them to quaint spot in the garden and sat them around a table full of snacks and alcohol, he even brought out the enslaved holy maidens to serve the four of them.

"Well, let's get done with, this is your therapy session, so whatever it is that is bugging you, just say it, I don't feel like there will be any other time to spare in the coming years, I hope you understand, I would have loved to give you more time, I fear that we don't have any left"

Bai was first to speak, he drowned a cup and roughly wiped his mouth " darkness and shadows were always part of me, I don't remember since when, but dullness crept over my life, there was never a danger I could not see coming, there was never a good piece of news that was not part of my plan, it was so dull I started working for those under constant threat of death just to feel something, then one day something fun happened, someone made her way past most of my traps and alarms."

"The fun part was that even though she was unaware of me, I had no chance to strike, under my watch, she snuck in and killed someone under the protection of my employer, the way she killed was like art, like a ghost, she came in, took a life and left, and I followed her, i watched her, she was as warm as sunlight, her interactions with her teammates were fun, she shone brighter each day, her path of revenge and self-liberation was truly dazzling to me, one who was drowning in the tar pits of a dull life"

Yunan stopped the man from continuing anymore "you are lazy" he said waving a hand and refilling his cup "your problem is just that, it was never about fun or whatever excuse you are using this time, you just want to do nothing, there is nothing wrong with being lazy, the problem is trying to make it look it was others fault for draining you. You are a rogue, it is your job to do everything as efficient and lazily as possible, so what are you even overthinking about?"

Before Bai could retaliate he was stopped again by Yunan " you are a member of the party that has no restraint, life and death and whatever others consider first are nothing but shit in your eyes, you do what you want to do, no one ever forced to stay nor will one ever force you to leave, so stop thinking too much, besides, you should be worried about making me happy, I will soon start pushing you over in the 80s".


Bai stood up and looked at Yunan in the eye "will I get killed?" he asked as if he was embarking on an impossible mission. "I'd pity you if you lived" was the response Yunan made, the two glanced at each other before clinking their cups and at the same time cheered "to a life worse than death" and emptied their cups in one gulp. Bai left momentarily to the bewildered eyes of Dustan who threw an axe at the rogue billowing behind him "I'll flay you, you shifty little thing".

That was all there was to it, a dispute born and solved immediately solved, Yunan had an inkling about what Bai was planning to do, it just happened to resonate with Dustan in the wrong way, still, there were many ways to end the dispute, like flaying if Bai actually did what he thought he wanted to do, for those who do not remember, there is a permanent link of thought between Debauchery due to a spell, they can literally read each other's minds, converse and even share visual or auditory input from their senses.

"I just wanted to see what the fuss is about, same for the brute, we two are the healthiest in the party, we have no skeletons in our closets, not like those 4, so why not say something profound and deep, we may experience psychological enlightenment" Dustan nodded at Balin's words and added "tell us what you think we should hear?".

"Dwarf, you are a short, blunt and a magnificent pervert, if you put as much effort into being a smith as much as you put in mischief, you would have ascended long ago, you really need to get a few kids, the problem is finding the one who could actually accept all your faults, as for you Dustan, there is no competition, you are a brute, you have brute strength, brute humour, brute love and that is what makes you cute, you need to take care of this pervert and the others, be careful of Fae, she may actually marry you, that would not be as good as it sounds right?".

The three of them drank and spoke some more, the two were much more receptive to his words than he thought, what held the two back was actually that they had nothing to latch on, they each followed a path that was without markers, smithing and strength, one could always make better things and can never know how good they can be as long as they kept walking that road, as for strength, no matter how high you go, there is always someone who is better and stronger, in these kinds of roads, having an anchor is a must, the two have been pushing about with anchoring themselves simply because they did not need it.

They still don't need an anchor to latch on at the current time, they can still ground their achievements in comparison with others, but in the near future they will arrive at a realm where attainment cannot be compared, it was the reason Yunan introduced the concept of something to look forward to, Balin may have been a pervert, but his sense of family is outstanding and impressive, for Dustan, a brute like him would need a woman like Fae, one who is unfazed by his strength, one who could actually keep up with both his power and personality. In the eyes of Yunan, the two should have been a couple for a very long time, it has not happened because both lack the urge to find their own counterpart.
