My Day Of Glory Or Regret

Submitted by Jose M. on Mon, 5/2/2011 at 4:23pm

I have Finally reached my village, I see some children playing next to a altar, I put on my hood and I enter this terrible place. I pass by what i recall to be my old house, now torn apart and rendered useless for anyone to live, I decide to go to the cemetary to see if my suspicion was correct, I enter the cemetary i noticed two gravestones that were coverd in trash and had graffiti on them, I walk closer to them and see that they were the Graves of my parents, Shocked and confused I drop t the floor on both me knees, my reasons now changed i cant decide what to do now, I came here to kill my parents and the leader but my parents are dead already, maybe this was why they abandoned me to the wilderness, for my own protection, coming back to my sense I get up and head towards the house of the village leader Crow and to show him my vengence, as I walk towards Crow's house I see an elder woman calling to me moving her fingers towards to lure me to her, I walk towards her and ask what she wants, She replies by taking my hood off and says '' It is you the son of the impia umbrae (unholy shadows)''.  In confusement I asked what she meant, she said '' Well when you were little you were born diffrent from most uordeqs you were blessed by a shadow demon, and that is why you were kicked from this village, but a prophecy says that a uordeq having unholy blessing will come to the village and bring destruction or peace to the village''. So that is me then the impia umbrae uordeq and I am cursed by a shadow demon, to bring peace or destruction, well I thank you elder uordeq ( I bow to her for respect), as I left she said "wait, take this'' ( handing to me a necklace with a eagle on it) What is this for?. she said '' for protection, but with a price''( she disappeared into the shadows), I put on the necklace and continued to Crow's house.  I walked up the stairs to the door, opening the door slowly I saw Crow I walked in and closed the door,  Hello my friend how long has it been since you kicked me out of the village then, (shocked Crow turned around and replied) '' Well your back then, I am impressed you decided to come back but cut this short, get the fuck out my village and never come back or face punishment you filthy impia umbrae uordeq,''   I was enraged and attacked Crow, a quick upper cut with my sword, but he blocked it, jumping back I said, "So why did you kill my parents Crow, what did they do to deserve death?", (laughing he replied) " you fool you think i would let the parents that brought birth to you live, I put them in prision, and later annouced their hanging from practicing illegal blood magic to give others unholy powers, everyone came and cheered for their death, it was amusing to see your parents struggle for life'', (angered i charged at him, I stabbed him through his heart) You think you can go on living without punsihment well I'm here to bring a new order to this village and show you what i have become, ( In his last words he said) ''You've no idea of what I do you filthy uordeq disgrace. ( in the silence he died), ( a knock on the door and then 5 uordeq warriors come in putting me in a chain and taking me to the middle of the village to show everyone what happens when a banned uordeq comes back to this village, they picked up my head and a spat at me saying " After this never come back or you will die", the uordeq warrior grabbed a dagger and slashed my right eye, making it useless, In pain I growned and screamed, they knocked me out and put me in a carriage going to Jastrey, When i awoke i had a cover on my left eye and i was laying on a tree, I wondered if I should go back but decided not to go back for a while, I got up and walked towards Jastrey, I feel down 30 feet away from the tavern.)
 

Hair wet and plastered against her head, Akon, looking much more refreshed makes her way back up to Jastrey. Her skin and garmets are cleaned now of all the blackened grime The Pit had left her coated with. Briskly walking back to town, she pulls up her hood to keep her eyes shaded from the irritating sunlight when her gaze catches a black and crumpled form along the road. Raising a brow, she diverts her path and wanders over to the body. Upon reaching it and seeing it laying there limp and moving only with the rise and fall of it's chest, she then uses the pad of her boot to lightly kick at its shoulder to roll the person it to its back.
 
"Tch.....vat have you gotten yourself into now? I sware....." She hisses irritably, seeing clearly now the passed out form of Zarmcher and his slashed out eye. She sighs deeply and would grip him by the scruff of the neck, hauling him up to then slinging him over her shoulder (Strength 2), carying him annoyedly, her eyes burning a slight red glow with her irritation. Once more she heads off towards the Healer's Den.

(Waking out of my fade I noticed Akon carrying me somewhere), Akon vere are you taking me?, I got to return to my village and finish what i started, this wound in my eye is nothing i can still fight.

At that, Akon releases her grip and drops Zarmcher like a sack of potatoes, letting him fall to the ground to land in what ever way gravity fated him to land. She doesn't look at him, doesn't stop, but merely continues on back towards town. "As you vish. But I'm pretty damn sure that vhatever you just got yourself into kicked your arse while you had both eyes working. If you wish to go back, suit yourself. Wise up, lad." And with that, she rounds the bend of the road and heads through the gates back into town.

Taklinn is walking towards the Warrior's Hall when he sees the duo walking up, and sees Akon drop Zarmcher.  "Bwahahahaha!  Well at least ye got sense enough ta not try ta help those that don't want helpin', even if their wisdom be failin them.  Ye can't save em all!  Of course that is yer dark way, and the fact that ye offered to help was the exception to yer ways!" he says to Akon.  "An' ye should be ashamed havin' that poor lass porter ye about town like ye are a sack of grain; considerin the pain she has come through.  Thats the thing about Urdek I'll never understand; ye don't have the pride enough to walk yer path alone, an' then when ye are offered a helpin' hand ye slap it away as if it was plagued.  I suppose some things never change.  Get yerself up an' SEE to that eye in the Healer's Den!" he says to Zarmcher with a smile on his face at the pun he just used.  He continues on whistling and enters the Warrior's Hall, leaving the two where they are without another word.

I consider what everyone said and I struggled myself to the healers den. I got to the doors and opened them I went in and sat myself to the side to rest on the wall.

 Coming into some sense, I struggle my hand and pull out a potion from my bag, (shaking potion one, shaking potion two, shaking potion three, heal 10) I get up and walk, out the healers den seeing howw no one can help me, I walk into my lodge and rest for a day to catch my strength and energy.
 

After some well rested sleep I waking feeling only pain in my left eye.
I return to the tavern and sit calmly as if nothing happened waiting for some thing to happen
