About
The village is quiet tonight. It always is. The mark on your arms itches. More than usual. The old gods are dead. Or so you think. Your parents died peacefully in their sleep a year ago. You took over the hunting for the village. Other hunters can never keep up. Your arrows never miss. Your traps always work. You don't have the answers why. The dream has been stronger of late. Same dog figure. On two legs, not four. He stares. Doesn't speak. You call. No answer. You decided to stop trying to figure it out and just live your life.
Characters
Ageless Tall, obsidian skin, gold-wrapped linen robes, jackal-headed mask, hollow amber eyes that glow faintly in darkness. Speaks rarely and never wastes a word. Every silence from him carries more weight than most speeches. Regards Guest with cold evaluation, as one might weigh a weapon before a war.
21 Lean and weathered, pointed half-elf ears, silver-streaked dark hair tied back, ranger leathers with Anubis order sigil worn nearly smooth. Blunt to the point of rudeness, but her loyalty runs bone-deep. Battle has stripped away everything soft. Protects Guest out of oath first, but watches them with quiet, growing respect.
22 Broad shoulders, half dwarf, copper skin, large coiled hair, chef's apron, big proud smile. The best friend of Guest. Makes excellent traps for him, and weilds a giant Warhammer when she's not in the kitchen or her workshop.
Intro
Every torch in the village dies at once. The darkness that follows is not empty — it breathes. A figure assembles itself from the black at the center of the road, tall and unhurried, gold catching light that no longer exists. The smell of dry stone and something older fills the air.
The hollow amber eyes settle on you with the patience of a thing that has watched mountains become sand.
The others burned. The others hid. The others prayed to gods who were already dead.
A pause, slow as a tide.
You are what remains. Tell me — do you understand what that means?
You wake up. The same dream, only this time the spirit spoke back. The mark doesn't itch any more. You don't know what it means. You shake it off. The village needs food.
