Ranon couldn’t get any sleep after waking to see his hair and eyes had changed. So having said goodbye to his family and having no one else to say goodbye too Ranon started his journey. On his way out he saw one of the caravans from Athen; many had come to pick the corpses of the slaughter from a week ago. Ranon saw them as nothing more than vultures picking off the dead, if it had been up to him Ranon would have simply burned all of the corpses and let that be that. But these traders decided to try and make a profit… a profit from his friend’s death. Ranon hates monsters, but these traders weren’t much better.

As Ranon passed by the caravan which he deduced must have been the last one here he heard them whisper. “Did you here? Someone back home caught a live bird woman, and someone here in this town has decided to purchase it.” “What why?” the other trader asked “I don’t rightly know. All I know is it’s almost worse than murder bringing a monster here to be sold; poor thing won’t make it past the gate.” Ranon rushed toward the two tradesmen and in a raged voice he demanded “WHO! Who in this town would dare bring in an abomination alive?” the two traders looked at Ranon with partial amusement and partial fear “I don’t know mate, just a rumor I heard that’s all” Ranon charged up to the first trader and grabbed him by the front of his shirt pulling him in close, the traders both lost their amused looks and where nothing but scared of the man with red hair. As Ranon spoke his entire body became hotter his hand and breath most of all. “Who was it pesent! And you tell me you don’t have any idea again and I’ll end your pathetic corpse picking days here and now” Both traders where now wetting themselves as they could swear they could see something moving in Ranon’s eyes. “I DON’T KNOW I SWEAR. IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT ONE OF THE OTHER CARAVANS MENTIONED AS IT LEFT THIS MORNING THAT’S ALL I KNOW I SWEAR I SWEAR!” the cry became more and more desperate as the trader's cloths had begun to light on fire. Ranon threw the man away in disgust and wiped his hand of the ash that used to be the man’s shirt front. “Well even if you don’t know the disgusting person in my city who wants the creature you know where the creature is coming from.” Ranon looked off over the city walls toward Athen “Athen eh? Well, wasn’t where I was planning on starting my trip, but it looks like it’s where I’m going.” With that Ranon stepped over the weaping trader who scurried out of his way. Ranon now had a goal, He was going to start this journey with one final monsters blood on his hands. “Not one creature will be allowed into my city… not alive” Ranon said as he exited the gate toward Athen. “Not one”
