Something...
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 3:56 pm
Under the night sky, Soldier sits atop a mountain in an unknown part of the land.
Nothing in the sky can be seen. No stars, no moon.. Nothing. All is barren and empty.
A fire roars infront of him, and his cheeks glow red with warmth.
He looks around him. He can see two figures, yet they are blurry and beyond recognition.
One seems to look as if he'd been burned, his skin hanging from his bones and bubbles with sores.
The other looks drenched to the bone in water, his skin pale and in some areas, blue. A ring around his neck is visible.
As he continues examining the men, flames start falling from the sky.. and in that single instant, all of what he'd just seen disappears.
He awakens. He awakens beneath the tree he'd fallen asleep under after a hard day's training.
It seemed to go like this all the time. Nothing at all would happen.. but training.
He was calm and relaxed though, now knowing the gruesome images he'd witnessed to be a dream.
'All in my head...' he thought.
Hmm, seems it's time to take a trip to the Bane. I need to pickup some supplies.
Retlak's coin will do good for me now.
He stood and made his way down the road. Soon enough he ran into the eastern gate into Trollsbane.
He continued on through the gates, and into the shop.
He neared the depot and opened it slowly, taking a glance within it.
He reached in and grabbed sack-full of silvers. They jingled merrily in his hand as he walked. And the sound seemed to put a smile upon his face as well.
He came upon Eliza and she greeted him as usual. He nodded and went about asking her about equipment, and haggling it from her.
Everyone in Gobaith knew Eliza... and her RIDICULOUS prices.
After exiting the shop a proud new owner of a full set of leather armor, as well as a new sword, he continued down the road, towards the taverne.
Upon coming to the tavere, he entered, took a seat, grabbed a beer, ...and waited.
