A dreary day. The canvas that was the sky was smeared all across with colors that connote depression. There was a light drizzle in the air that seemed to sway back and forth with the fickle wind that blew at the back of the young man that lurched into town. His baldric carried a sword, and his hair looked as if he'd just walked out of a windstorm. What was noteworthy about this boy was that his unmoving eyes were in a throe of panic, lifelessness, and worry. The eyes of this boy carried an uneasiness that rarely comprised the eyes of someone his age.

His face was benighted with terror, and he walked with a wavering step. Some of the people who were out in the drizzle of the rain noticed the boy wander through the open drawbridge of North Castle. He was dressed in the normal adventurer garb, and he was thin to an almost unhealthy extent. He looked as if he hadn't eaten in days, yet deer antlers stuck out of his backpack, proof of a kill. Was he perhaps a young hunter? A look at him would prove that this may be the case. His hair was black, and long down his back and shoulders. A woman dropped her basket of fruit at the sight of him, and rose her hands to her mouth in a worried gasp.

"OH, DEAR! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" She shrieked as he lumbered on past her. He turned his head around only enough to observe her with one eye. It was wild and unstable, and it caused her great uneasiness. His mouth twisted up as if to form words, but no sound escaped his lips. He turned his head back forward, and notices you standing not far from him. His eyes look like they're almost pleading, when you notice that he doesn't seem quite altogether. Upon closer inspection, the boy has suffered a few wounds, as his footsteps leave a red mark in their wake. He looks absolutely insane; whatever the boy witnessed was truly traumatizing...

A small bell rang behind Leth as opened the shop door and stepped outside into the weary streets of North Castle, a small package tucked under his arm. He glanced up at the skies, drew up his hood, and began walking down the street, eyes on the ground. His mood reflected the atmosphere around him: Pensive and somber. He was in no frame of mind to be dealing with people.

As he made his way down the street towards his home, he noticed the slight red trail in the pavement. Lost in his thoughts and not paying particularly close attention to his surroundings, it took him a few moments to realize what it was. When he did, he was immediately startled out of his thoughts as the woman shrieked just a few yards up the street. He turned his head and saw the... child? Young man? It was hard for Leth to tell. He was certainly young, but his condition suggested he may be older than he looked. Regardless, Leth knew something had to be done quick.

He reached over and grabbed the nearest passerby by the sleeve and stared him directly in the face as he said with no small degree of urgency, "Go to the temple and alert the clerics there that we have a badly wounded boy out here who needs medical attention. I'll be bringing him as quickly as I can, but they may need to meet us halfway. Run." So saying, he released the sleeve of the startled man and immediately ran over to the wounded and bloodied youth. As he got closer, he slowed down, and hunched over a bit to make direct eye contact with him. As he spoke, he made sure to keep his words soft so they did not frighten the boy, but authoritative enough to maintain his attention and assert the fact that he was here to help.

"You need medical attention; I can show you to the Temple. It's not far from here, and the clerics there can fix you right up. Can you tell me where you're hurt?"


OoC: Why not?

OOC: Truth is, I have no idea where I was going with this when I posted it. I have no idea what to do. I've been thinking it over and I have zero angle on this one XD

OoC: Ah well, that's alright. I'm mostly just trying to find places to post and stir activity back up again hahaha

Would you like me to start a topic? I've got a bin full of unused plots I could pull from if you want to go on a mini-quest to establish your character. And who knows, maybe someone else'll see and want to join in for old times' sake. I dropped one of my classes, so I've got a little bit more free time.

I'd be down for that. I've really been getting the itch to start playing again.

Alright. I'll pick something out.
I'll start us out with something relatively short.
It's a quest designed for 2-4 players, so if anyone sees this and wants to join, they're free to jump in. I'll post here with a link to the topic after I post it.

I've got work all day today though. I'll either post tonight or tomorrow evening. Keeps your eyes open.
