The Arrival
They told me it was fate, I just think it's bad luck or some sort of joke from a twisted god.
My employer asked me to escort some merchants back to Waterdeep, I didn't even have the time to arrive, the mist took me before that while traveling alone in the woods.
Suddenly I'm in a new world filled with darkness, monsters and people that barely know what an elf is. And I'm trapped, there is no way back apparently, many before me have tried without success, so now what? I have to start a new life in this place, I was literally attacked by a werewolf inside the inn on my second night, this place is wild and bloodthirsty.
I saw a man crushing his hammer on a poor dwarf head for pure hatred, pure and simple racism, some of them in the city would even talk to me because of my heritage.
Does fate really wants to give me all this after all that I have endured?
Fate is just evil, like most of things, no matter how hard I hope in a better society it just can't happen, especially in this place.
Outlanders, like me now, some of them are decent people. It's hard to live normally being one, most of us have to accept dangerous jobs and the like to earn little money.
I've been here for just a few days, will I really have to spend the rest of my life in this place?
Luckily the darkness of this place still allows for some light to shine, I met people that I hope to work with again, like a young elven knight and her friend, young as well but wizard I think their names were Bardia and Astra?
But the person I am going to spend the most of my time will be Valra.
She is some kind of wizard, still learning the ropes, I don't know why exactly myself but I just need to protect her. Maybe because of her innonence and joy, I want that to remain intact in a world such as this. She reminds me of how I used to be before everything changed, before that day, before everything was ruined and torn apart.
I started to forget how I was before losing everyhing.
Am I even myself now, or a ghost of who I was before?
She said she is going to try to make me feel better, I sincerely hope she can do that.
