The Hunted (Private RP. PM if you want in.)

[Friendly Stranger]

The man called Merlius is in the back of the brothers' shop in Troll's Bane.. The air is cold, and the sky is dark outside. Stars crown the heavens with their beauty, interrupted by the occasional cloud which seeks to make its own existance prominant...

Merlius looks around to make sure that nobody is around in the storage area where he is, and satisfied that he is alone, slowly pries a floorboard out of the floor. He reaches his hand into the empty space where he withdrew the board, and takes out a small notebook with clean, stately parchment riddled with the small layer of storage area dust. He wipes it clean with his dark brown cape and begins to put it in his bag slung over his shoulder, but hesitatantly he takes it back out and proceeds to light a candle on the floor. He replaces the floorboard, takes out a pen and some ink and proceeds to write in his book:

[The date and place are written in a strange code]

I've just met with another dose of my old friend today. Yes, betrayal found me once again, though not in the same form as before. This time he took on the shape of a man I thought to be noble. Today he was a man called Raven. The details I needn't enter, but suffice it to say I must stay out, must stay away from Troll's Bane. I am the prey now of more than one person. That's sure to keep me busy for a while, isn't it? I'll leave the way I re-entered Troll's Bane through the Southwest gate, and head on to the Halfling home of GreenBriar. There I will set up my next temporary camp, meet more of the folk in that area, and collect information on how to go about doing what I originally came here to do. Information, knowledge, experience is my key. I can only hope to blend in properly with the people in Greebriar. Gods know what could happen to them if a certain suspicious man were noted among their fold.

No, maybe I should not go there. I know, I'll use my already gained knowledge to see if I can somehow contact Teacher or the other man like him... They should probably know what I'm to do.

Merlius closes the book, blows out the candle, and leaving it there he stands and begins to make his way silently out of the shop...

Merlius awakens in the forest.

"It's been 3 days here and nobody followed me, so they must not consider me that important..."

He sighs, stretches, and remember's Ravens last words to him...

"If I see you again, even five minutes from now, I'll kill you!"

"I'll KILL..

you... Kill you...

I will kill you..."

The words echo in Merlius's head as he begins to pack his bedroll and head to the East; to Varshikar.
