What do you do when you're good at nothing but video games? Go competitive, of course!
Merlin. That's a well known name in the gaming community. A player that participates in big tournaments but only plays at home. Nobody knows who he is. Some think...
Eda: "Oh, yes. King, these are Luz, Lucia, and Y/N, the humans. They're here to help with our little... situation."
King: The King of Demons!

King: "Oh. Hooray!"
Lucia: "I don't like the sound of this 'situation'. What are you getting us into?"
Eda: "Just... let me explain."
Eda backs away and draws a spell circle in the air, exciting Y/N that he's about to see real magic from a real witch. The spell circle conjures a vision in the style of hold renaissance paintings of King as a giant version of himself, wearing a crown.
Eda: "King was once a mighty king of demons. Until his crown of power was stolen and he became... well, this."
Eda gestures to King, who is now back to being hugged by Luz.
Luz: "You mean this little bundle of joy?"
The vision in the spell circle turns into a tall man with grey skin and a plague mask, holding the crown in the air. He's standing above a white tunnel where another person wearing a cape, stands ready to step inside.
Eda: "The crown is being held by the evil Warden Wrath, and locked away behind a magical force field that only a human can break through. A human like you... and you, and you."
Eda dispels the spell circle.
Eda: "If you help us retrieve his crown, we'll send you back to your realm. So whaddya say?"
The witch then grabs King and shoves him right in Y/N's face.
Eda: "Plus, who could say no to this cute face?"
King: "No! Don't encourage them!"
Eda drops King, making the poor doggie yelp as he falls to the floor. Lucia crosses her arms and glares at Eda.
Eda: "I mean, we're kinda your only way home."
Lucia: "So basically, you're not giving us a choice."
Eda: "Nope!"
Eda was about to scoop Luz up before Lucia stepped in front of her and gave her a challenging glare, placing an arm around the boy's shoulders.
Lucia: "I don't trust you yet, so don't touch either of them."
Eda: "Fair enough. But enough wasting time, let's move!"
Eda walks out the door as King picks up his ducky.
King: "Soon, Mr Ducky, we shall drink the fear of those who mocked us!"
