Vrag Posast's Story

*Thump, step step, thump, step step, thump* Between he thick, green leaves of the forest, a dark, capeclad, croked figure could just barely be spotted, thump stepping along with a walking cane. At first sight, one would just assume it was an old woman wearing a headscarf and layers of fabric, but something was off about her shape and speed upon closer inspection. Either the old woman was very hunched over, or her head was abnormally large, and the feet looked to belong to a very large man, both in size and the choice of shoes. The backpack she was carrying looked like it might have belonged to the same very large man, both in choice of style, and how much to large and heavy it would be for an old woman with a walking cane. The walking cane was wery long, and was wrapped in polystyrine and ducttape, and had a tennisball attached to the edge. Vrag didn't rest on her "cane", but made it look so, and made way with great speed.

Still, she'd gone undetected like this for a very long time, passed through multiple busy cities. She'd done things no one would be proud of, but she'd made it. She was a surviver. Why she was even out her, was something she constantly questioned. But she'd come by a rumour, that she wasn't alone in this world. That there's might be other like her. The last couple of weeks, she'd slowly been moving further into the forest, sleeping up in trees, or under rocks when the scenery allowed for it.

At first, moving out into the forest had been a decition she was reluctant to take, and maybe that was why she'd been putting it off for so long, making sure she would find what she was looking for. Everytime she fell asleep on the soft ground, she would dream about the first time she did. Feel the despair of being left alone, with no knowledge of what to do, where to go, all alone in the world. In time, the despair had grown to hatred and pride, and her knowledge greatly increased, but she had still been alone. Multiple times over the last couple of weeks, as she'd been cautiously wandering into the forest, she'd seen people... creatures... But she always hid away. She liked to claim that she was just cautious, but that would be a lie. She was also scared that, even if there might be creatures like her, they would shun her away. This, ofcourse, she would never admit to herself, she was just cautious and careful, a true surviver. And now, she was closing in on the heart of the forest.

Sudden, very faint noices caught the hunched figure. Vrag narroved her eyes and held her breath to hear more clearly. She started tp carefully, quietly make her way towards the clearing. She was close enough to see, but not be seen when she noticed, humans! And machines! She was about to turn around and leave for good, thinking that this could not be the safe haven she had hoped after all.

Sudden movements on the oposite end of the clearing caught her attention. The workers were staring at a man, but somehow didn't seem to notice the winged creature flying above the trees. So there were others! Vrag's was filled with hope, before the feeling changed to stress. She had to talk to this winged creatue, but the humans seemed to want the same as the man and the creature disapeared out of the clearing. Vrag took the opportunity to scurry over to one of the digging machines left is vacant, whispering and consentrating her hardest on the spell, but it wasn't easy, seing how distracted she was by the urgency of the situation. At the first attempt, nothing happened, but at the second, the little flare she hoped to create blew up the whole machine. Vrag covered here face in the cloak and ran on the outside of the clearing.

A short minte later she met up with the winged creature and the... human? She wasn't sure what the man was. Her first intention was to warn them about the workers, but she just ended up staring at the great big wings.

Shena sighed when hearing Re'nura's answer. She really had lost tracks of that man. She looked at the forest, wondering where he would head. He didn't seem to be afraid lose his ways in the forest, it meant he knew the territory. It meant he had to have a hiding place somewhere.

As Re'nura was talking about dwarf Shena just answered with nod. ”I would come with you, but I have to find the one spying on us. He claimed not to deal with other humans but he's human. They lie, don't they?”

When she was in her thoughts she suddenly hear steps behind her back. She quickly draw her spear forward and turned around just to see a hooded creature. She narrowed her eyes before realizing it was a female tiefling. ”You don't look familiar.” she said to her then turning her head towards Re'nura who had already started leaving away. ”Hey Re'nura!” she shouted after him. ”Here's a fellow tiefling. Do you know her by any chance?” She then turned to look back at tiefling. ”Name is Shena Savil. My apologizes but I have no time to get know you right now. I'm tracking down a possible dangerous person. Maybe we see later.” she said, nodding at her and rose up to her wings. ”Have fun to be the one telling bad news, Re'nura” she shouted from air smirking.

She flew back to the places she had met the man and landed down well before the workers would see her. She heard them shouting with each other. There seemed to be chaos. She didn't pay attention anymore than that. She looked around her. Where would she head from here? Left. She had went to right, assuming the man was heading to the same way he had come from. Shena turned to left and trusting her instincts she walked forward.

Suddenly she heard' a distant voice. ”Ooman! Where are ye?” ”Ooman?” she wondered and walked closer to voice. She came to place where she saw a Cerberus. He seemed to be familiar. Then the memory came to her. ”You... Weren't you the one helping humans? Ah, let me guess. You have been helping one man again. Tell me, where did you hide him?”

As Shena shouted Re' nura to turn he spun around on one leg and started walking back to Shena just as he had always meant to do that. "Ohh.. never seen her no... Yo! Nice to meet fellow Tieflings around here! Name is Re' nura. Nice to meet you!" Re' nura bowed down to the new Tiefling face. "So... i'm on mighty quest to tell the bad news to the courier to tell the rest.. hmm.. not so mighty after all when you say it out loud. Care to join?" Re' nura bowed slightly and smiled awkwardly in the end.
