The Mentor

What was Dagonet?

As Arianne reflected upon her latest encounters with Dagonet and reviewed her troubled history with him, she could not conclude what he was. He did not seem entirely enemy, or entirely friend.

The Valley of Pain

As Arianne lost all to the railing militia and wailing Pandora, she trudged on with her head hung down from weariness through the fogged valley of pain she walked through more than an entire decade.

Aerial Combat

Aerial Combat Pandora wailed and vilified until Arianne jumped her and began pushing and swinging.

Pandora the Great

Arianne had to give great Pandora credit, she could work an image and magnify it's benefits like no other she had ever encountered.
