Very nice story! Although, it's also a collection of theories of the true made-up story behind the departure of Romeo and Juliet. Out of all the stories I'd believe, it would be the last one. Here's a comedic story/theory that I came up with:
Quoted from a sleepy drunken hobo, washed up from the river Lum:
"It was a usual night, Romeo sleeping... wherever he sleeps..., Juliet, Phillipa, and Draul Leptoc were sleeping in their house. That was, when suddenly, here it comes: ALIENS! They pulled the four, plus me, in their ships with their tractor beams! The other four were being probed, as there weren't enough probes to probe me. Suddenly, the four changed their shapes, and I saw on a computer-thingy that their memories were being replaced by other randomized memories; Romeo turned into a dwarf, Juliet into Gundrun, Her father into the champion guy, and Phillipa into Gundrun's sister! Her sister wasn't seen in the story because she was somewhere else, probably picking up groceries. Gunthor was told by the aliens in human form that were off the ship in human form that Gundrun was his long-lost daughter! Then, the four were lowered down with the tractor beam into the barbarian village. How did I know about the long lost sister thing and how did I get out? I looked out the window to see who the aliens were talking to. To get out, I broke out from the stretcher they held me in and jumped through the window! That is what happened to Romeo and Juliet. Either that or I'm crazy and they moved and accidentally left their stuff behind."
me: I believe your second story better. And how did you know I was doing the quest, and why were you in the river, practically sleeping?
Drunken man: I saw your quest journal dangling from your pocket. I was conscious at that time. As for the second question, I fell in the river when I exited the ship, and I was left unconscious. I came conscious again a few hours afterwards, but then I kept getting hit in the head by fishing poles.
