    Gods below and all their horrors what the fuck had he gotten himself into. The air changed, got stale like the forest, these faces, full of emptiness, like a hole that begs to be filled with something, anything. A great vast darkness that hungered. It was too similar to be coincidence and...

    He smiled back down at Rhosyn hair sticking to his face in thin wet strands. "I know, I'm doing what knights ought to do and saving a beautiful maiden from catching cold." Stepping out of the water in sloshing steps was never graceful but he kept himself steady enough to not loose grip. Once...

    It took a moment for him to register what she was saying and honestly he did not believe that it would not hurt. He simply was not that lucky. "Oh yeah, that simple?" Sitting down he made sure his sword was out of the way and leaned it against the table. "So..." He placed his hands on either...

    That was unexpected. "Eat curses... as in..." He half gestured to his own mouth. "Proper eat!" Was this woman serious? "How does that work exactly?" He was beginning to feel that perhaps this might have been a bad idea. Despite his misgivings he approached the table. @Kuuga

    "That's ominous." Hawkflesh said as he followed the short woman into the small room. The smell of old assaulted his nose, as if he had breathed a fistful of dust bunnies. The room was large but relatively bare. Plain walls and no windows, a secret place indeed. "Charming place." Stalling was...

    Relief washed over him. This short helpful woman spoke the traders tongue and he was glad of that little bit of luck and slight though her motions were his sharp eyes noted her bow and her look over his shoulder. "Please, I am not worthy of that." He was certainly not worthy of a handshake much...

    "I see." A limitation. A weakness. Some part of him filed that information away just in case and he was reminded that he was not the good person he tried to be. Good people did not take note of vulnerabilities like he did. He gathered a clump of hedgehog fungi and stood again, there was...

    Faith, what a waste of time. Hawkflesh had never trucked with the gods or spirits but here he was, fresh off the boat not two days and approaching the heart of Sonshan and there hopefully, a way to rid himself of his curse. Euphemia had been right and was ready to die to help him but he was...

    That day seemed very far away to Hawkflesh at that moment. He'd have a better chance to touch the red moon than be free of that place. Rhosyn's poke snapped him out of his funk somewhat and in pure reflex he caught her small hand in his own, snatching it. "Hmm, maybe." Admitting to himself that...

    It was such a lovely offer that it almost killed him. The chill of the water gave way to the ice cold feeling that crept into his belly because he knew what he had to say. "I can't, please don't ask me why I just cannot stay past tonight." The frustration of not being able to tell it, of not...

    A fine speech, spoken well and with utter conviction. Hawkflesh would not dispute her truth with her. A blind woman, found in a landslide, raised by these Knights of Anatheaum and trying to do what good she could. "I'm sorry you lost your family like that." He said, kneeling down to collect the...

    Scratching his dirty face Hawkflesh spat again, gods below was he never going to be rid of the taste. "No, I don't... His dark eyes fell on the one referred to as Alen. "But he does and he's going to tell us everything he knows, numbers, where the village is, what direction they came from...

    "Every word is true, I'm a terrible liar." He smirked and listened to Rhosyn offer kindness and empathy to his story. This had to stop, he thought, but he didn't stop talking words came and kept coming. "Killing in the name of peace is what being a knight is really all about. You kill to...

    A dark and impulsive laugh came from his mouth but he didn't regret it. "I find it hard to believe anything good comes from that place. It is utterly evil." Begging cries echoed within him, the lost and never found disappeared into the nothing dark. Noticing she was walking easier he assumed she...

    "Thank you. It would do me well to know that it was dealt with." He'd have to answer for his poking soon then. Even if Euphemia was not involved before, she was now. He did not miss Syr Byron's notable absence of comment either. It did not settle him so he was eager to leave when the offer came...

    "If I knew that secret I'd sell it." How does anyone look good? Hard work made effortless? A trick of the Shroud? Luck? The soul brought forth into the world? In Rhosyn's case he decided to take a guess. "I think it's because you like it here. The village, the lake and if I can be so bold, the...

    "Very well Mr Toadwyck." He did not like it but he had said his piece. "I'm not going to kill you lad you can relax but you can tell me where your village was." Taking his cue from Mirani he knelt beside the Stoatling and began to undo the little rodents bindings. "Give me a reason you little...

    As the second splash hit his body Hawkflesh stopped and shivered. Cold was terrible at first and wading out into the waters after Rhosyn the water swallowed his body with every step. "You're right, I should be more Knightly!" Striking a stance as if he welded a sword he lunges towards Rhosyn...

    "They have roses of colours and scents you have not dreamed. The Great Gardeners weave the shroud through them to make wonders. It's a good place for alchemists. We have some of the best there." Warmth came to his voice as he spoke of home but left when it turned again to the grim topic he had...

    "There's no better time, I've heard it helps stave off old age to dip in cold waters." Following Rhosyn to the edge of the lake he undid his cloak and let it fall to the grass just beyond the shore then stripped down to his slacks, leaving his tunic and boots on his cloak. "I am sure this is a...
