Carrick




The chilly wind nipped at Carrick's nose, and he lightly batted at it with his hand.

The majority of this day had spent traveling, as most of the days past had been spent. The sound of Gaoth's (his trusted steed) hooves clomping on the dirt underneath their feet had become almost as accustomed to Carrick's ears as his own heartbeat. The journey had been long, but they had finally reached their destination, the town to which they had been trekking towards. Carrick was more than a bit excited to be able to settle down for a nice dinner for once.

Carrick trotted into the town quietly, not really making any observations aloud. He and The Warrior had been traveling together for awhile now, and although they did share banter along the way, it had become almost a custom for them to remain quiet for certain parts of the duration. And one of those parts, of course, was the discovery of a new place.

Upon his steed, Carrick certainly looked like a noble man. It was rather comical, though, because many often mistook him for a knight or some other form of warrior nobility, when in reality he was but a Squire; he hadn't been doing this long enough to establish any sort of name for himself. Still, he held his posture with high dignity and hoped that he would represent his People well, even if he was not necessarily fighting for them at the moment. He was just thinking to himself about how quaint the entrance to the area seemed when the child approached them, threatening them with scourge of arrows. Normally Carrick would have paid no heed to this threat; however, he noticed the accuracy with which the child was holding the bow, the steadiness at which he leveled it, and the overall calm energy that was radiating from the boy. It also become noticeable to him that this boy had runes inscribed on his arms.

"I am Carrick Eamon, a Squire of Gondor," he decided to introduce himself first, simply because he was the first to react. He would allow the others to introduce themselves. "And I can say first and foremost that we intend no harm upon this place," he added this with a touch of sincerity, his eyes resting upon the boy with a hint of respect.

John:

John scanned the desolate entrance to the town. Like any other major settlement they came across, it was empty. And strange enough, there was some sort of strange crystals, spaced out, around the town. Before he could investigate however, a boy wielding a bow and arrows turned the corner and threatened them. While the boy seemed inexperienced, his hands and his position with a bow were dead on accurate. Abnormally dead on accurate. That's when he noticed the boy's arm. It was covered by a sleeve, but there was some sort of glowing symbol on it. Maybe multiple symbols.

Counting on the boy's fear and inexperience, he then said "Listen, okay, how about you put down the bow before you hurt anyone.....". But this was met with an arrow wisking 2 inches left from his head, hitting a bucket behind him, which falls into a barrel. The boy was quick to add a new arrow to the bow. That's when, after letting the squire speak, and giving some room for the elf to say something, he says "Who are you? What are you doing here all by yourself? What is with these strange crystals....".

He began walking over to one, but then some sort of man, a town guard, charged out with a steel battle axe. He quickly tried to chop off John's head, but John was quick to back up, and slice the head off the attacker. "What are these things?" "Who are these people?" "We must be careful......">

That's when John looked at the crystal. It had turned darker as soon as he got close. That's when Ren asked, finally, "Your from Gondor? Do you know where the next nearest settlement is I can get transport from? No one has been here because of whats been going on.....".

That's when John told him "Every Major settlement has been abandoned when we got to it. The difference is, we never found these crystals here.....what do they do?".

"As far as I can tell, they drive people crazy, and eventually make them disappear......so stay away from them...".

That's when a large crackle could be heard overhead. Thunder. Thunder and Rain. "We should get inside. It will be night soon......".

(Hope that's good!)

Aunon remained silent as he inspected his surroundings with his emerald eyes. He decided not to speak after his companion had stopped, but eyed the armed boy suspiciously. When the attacker was decapitated by John, the blonde-haired elf dismounted his horse and examined the dead man's body. Aunon listened intently as Ren explained, but was interrupted as he noticed the grey storm clouds in the sky, then the rain began to fall. He followed John and the group into the shelter of one of the abandoned buildings, and left the horses outside.

"How long have the crystals been here?" The elf asked Ren in his quiet and feminine voice.

(So sorry it's so short)

Ren:

Ren quickly began shutting the windows and doors when they began asking more questions. "They initially were found a year ago, but nothing happened, so we just ignored them. Or made them ornaments. Or such. They got scattered around. Then, all of a sudden, they start glowing slightly, and they change color. Next thing we know, people are going crazy, disappearing, or worse......".

Thats when John asked "Wait, whats wor....", but was interrupted by a dark horse noise. The sound, the depth, it was all dark. Ren took cover behind a wall by a door, with a window over him, and kept himself close to it to avoid being seen. He motioned for the others to hide too. John quickly took cover behind some furniture.

Thats when some sort of shadowy, black figure approached the building. It was not a Nazgul, but, if anything, it was close to one. Whatever being had once been the owner of that body, it was deformed and changed, make into some sort of creature of dark power. The air chilled by its pure presence, everything seemed to get a bit darker, and the rain tasted sour. You could now literally see your breath, something you could not before.

Thats when it began to leave, turning away, and the effects began to recede. And in an instance, it disapeared. But there was Dark Magic at work here, that was made obvious. Very powerful Dark Magic.

Thats when Ren looked at Carrick, and noted "The last time someone tried to remove a crystal was the first time he showed up....".

However, that's when John asked a question, the very question Ren was trying to avoid. "Why haven't you been affected yet?"

Ren pulled his Sleeve down over his arm with the symbols/glyphs a little more, making the already hidden symbols still hard to read/notice. "I don't know. I have just been keeping my distance....". A lie. Maybe not a complete lie, but Ren suspected it was his symbols/runes on his arm.
