Sounded Kind Of Silly, A Man We Grew To Love
As Keri and Jilly were talking, Veronica was watching them with interest. Coming to the keep with Kazz had been a split-second decision she had made out of loneliness and pure jealousy of her sister's relationship with the Master...Mex.
That part was still hard for her to remember. Candace and Veronica had known Mex as their master since he came to this island.
The two of the women, still girls at the time, had been running from a large group of Gnolls. Their mother had just been killed by the same group.
Both girls thought that they were going to die when they were chased into a corner. As the mangey creatures closed on the girls, that was when they had met their master for the first time.
Mex had been in his massive demon form and had come out of nowhere. A monster the same color as the sky and like nothing either of the girls had ever seen before.
