Smoke drifted hazily from a dying fire pit. The area it self was just inside the mallowpine forest. A small clearing no bigger then a small cottage with the dying fire pit in the middle and a lean-t o a few feet away. Within the lean-to was the slumbering form of Kale. His white hair covering parts of his face in the dewy morning. Snoring lightly, Kale slowly began to wake. Slowly Kale dragged himself out of the lean-to tent and stretched his arms and cracking his neck. Wearing only a simple set of white wool clothes and his boots, which were mostly made of cracking leather and torn bits of heavy wool for padding.

“I hate mornings” Kale’s voice resounded deeply in the woods. He was by no means a small man for he towered over most men and most who thought they were tall men. Kale turned and went back to his lean-to tent and pulled out his travel pack which had his armor and two swords tied to it. One a standard long sword and the other was his great sword. Opening the pack Kale pulled out someone wrapped in leather and opened it revealing dried meats. After eating them, Kale broke down his camp and made sure the fire was dead.

Strapping on his armor, which was mostly old Iron, cracked in several places and weathered from the years. Kale sighed some “I need new armor..” Kale had decided to head to the North fields to see if he can trade for some new better fitting armor.

Stepping from the forest and heading for the road, Kale stopped a few feet from the road and suddenly dropped in the middle of the tall grass only a few feet from the road. Within a minute he watched a squad of Bandrials soldiers march on by. Kale glared at them but did not try to follow them or attack them, they were not worth the trouble yet and their deaths would of only brought more here to kill others to try and find him. When they had past, Kale got back up and went the other direction. Sighing heavily, wanting to fight the soldiers but knowing right now it was only more trouble and the Northfields have been the quietest place sense the evil woman’s rise to power, most of the time.

Kale continued to walk until he stopped once more at large rock on the side of the road and kneeled in front of it. “I wish you were still here old man.” As Kale gazed at the rock, on the rock there were two words carved into it and a walking stick leaned against it. The words were “OLD MAN” Kale’s private honoring of his teacher. After a few more moments of silence, Kale got up and headed for the largest town in the Northfields. Kale simply called it “Trader city” Every day the town was bustling with traders and merchants selling their wares from every corner of the world. Hopefully today Kale could find a smith who would trade some pelts for time with the forge so kale can make some armor for himself. Some good armor.

Before he Kale came within sight of the town, He had strapped his long sword to his hip and his great sword to his back. If he could not find a smith willing to trade, he could easily find work as hired muscle for the day to pay for time. Mercenaries were always wanted in the city.

Kale was only ten minutes from the town when four large men jumped onto the road, they had been hiding in the long grass waiting to ambush lone travelers or those who they think they could bully for coins. “look here fellas, we got a second rate hand me down mercenary here” Said the biggest one, who was almost Kales height. But easy the fattest man Kale had ever seen, also the ugliest. Kale glared at the man and tried to walk past them, but the fat one pushed him back hard. “O no no no, you pay the toll pretty boy or pay with your life. Either one works for us.” They all grinned and laughed.

Kale looked at the fat one “Let me pass.. and I won’t hurt you” Kale tried once more and this time the man shoved Kale hard enough to almost make him fall onto his back. Glaring this time Kale said “Touch me again you pig son.. and I will cut your hand off” He spoke clearly and deeply making sure their was menace in his voice. One of the men in the back of the group spoke up “Let em pass boss.. I know him.. he is that guy who killed the Giant’s son last year” But the fat ugly one would not listen. “Coin now or die!” the fat one shouted and drew a knife charging Kale. Instantly Kale brought up his left foot and slammed it into the fat man’s chest sending him into the ground, while his friends shouted in surprise. Kale drew out his Great sword pointing the six and a half feet of deadly metal at them. Dropping their knives, they ran in different directions leaving their leader in the dirt breathing deeply for air.

When the fat bandit looked up he had the great sword at his face. “I told you to let me pass fat one..” the fat man shouted as the sword flashed down. A few seconds later the man looked seeing his hand still attached to his arm. “Run.. before I change my mind.. never do this again!” Kale said loudly. The fat man ran as fast as he could, and Kale smirked as he watched him.
“Another day in the trader city..” Kale slipped the sword back into its spot on his back and headed into town in hopes of finding a smith who would work with him. He did not feel like spilling someone’s blood today.
