Araido

"These days are hard times for everyone...Especially for my kind. Not a job in site for months, and I've already been kick out of the sorry excuse for a shack that I had rented out...and I've been out on the streets of CarderRock ever since then...Trying to find a place to sleep. Along with a job. A quest, hunt, collecting, map making, I'll take anything to stay alive. I can take care of myself better then my mother or father ever could...She chose some organization, over her own child...over flesh and blood. Not sure if she was forced to, or if it was her own idiotic, selfish decision...Non the less, I strive to keep myself breathing and alive, and so far, it hadn't gotten as bad as I thought..."

In a desolate alley way, a figure lies against the brick wall, a white and brown hood covers his head and face. A mace hangs from his belt, and on his other side, a shield with a cross embedded into it. A light sigh emanates from him as he stands to his feet. His white bangs hung in front of his right eye as he starts to walk into the light of CarderRock pass. The towns people hurried around quickly, paying no attention to him. He didn't mind though. He was used to be ignored , and he liked to be left alone...Sometimes to him, it seemed as though he was going at normal speed at times, while his world was at high speed. The universe was speeding around faster then him.

"Why do I get this feeling at times...?" He wonders in his mind. With his shield by his side, he wanders through town, some citizens move out of his way, He kept his head down, staring at the brick road as he walked over the bridge, and towards the entrance to the Ashen Ruins. He stops, before looking over at the commission board, which was engulfed by a crowd of warriors, archers, and anything in between. He quickly walks over, only to have the group dissipate, leaving hardly any commissions for grabs. He groaned and sighed angerily, before starting to walk off.

"Now what the hell am I suppose to do...?" He mumbled in an angry tone to himself. He slumped over, his stomach growling loudly. He winced in pain as the hunger pains ripped through his lower torso. His hand over his stomach turned into a shaking fist.

"Excuse me." A soft female voice spoke out to him. He looks up to see a well dressed woman, a pale face, and a slim dress that hugged at her waist and upper torso. Our cleric stands up straight, refusing to let a few stomach aches get to him in the presence of a young woman.

"Yes? How may I be of service to you?" He asks her in a polite tone as he bowed slightly.

'I wonder what she addressed me for...? A job perhaps?' He thought.

"Are you the priest that I've heard about? Araido?" She addresses him by his name, her purple pinkish hair swayed from the oncoming breeze.

"T-thats right." Araido responded as he stood up straight,"But, what have you come to me for my lady?" He says quietly. She only smiles at him.

"I have a quest for you, Araido." She hands him a piece of paper with writing on it. Although Araido did not show any sign of gratitude on the outside, he surly felt it on the inside.

'A good amount of gold just to kill a measly spider. This will be simple...' He thought.

"Along with that," She speaks up, interrupt his thoughts," I also have a quest that is near ice valley, not far from Mana Ridge. That is, if you're willing to take it." She smiles, bit with a strange erie look in her eyes. Araido thinks for a moment, the memories of his younger years flashing by him in his mind. He knew returning to that horrid village would make his head hurt. Just thinking about it made his head pound. But if it was to keep himself fed and alive, he would take anything.

He shook his head once before saying,"I'll do it."

"I'll fill you in on the way there." She smiled again, as Araido walked ahead of her. He looked at her suspiciously, his piercing blue eyes locked on to her red ones.

"I trust that you can go through with this, right?" She asked him, a slight feeling of worry slipped out as she said this.

"I'll be fine miss. Nothing to worry about." Araido assured her. He turns to walk, the woman following.

"I'm sure you'll handle yourself just fine...~" She smirks as she stares at him as they continue onto Crystal Stream...

To Be Continued!~
