With that said, hope you enjoy this chapter!
The winds howled viciously as the snow pelted a lone figure who dared to brave the storm. He was an old man in his late seventies, grey hair whipped wildly in the winds as he drew up his olive colored cloak, threatening to be snatched at a moment's notice. He wandered about aimlessly, looking for the few remaining sheep that were now at the mercy of the deathly blizzard.
Having not the ability to see far in front of him, the old man slipped on a patch of ice and in attempt to regain his balance injured his leg as he fell. He let out a groan of pain before something flashed in the corner of his eye. He steadily got up, making sure not to put pressure on his now injured limb and proceeded to limp over towards the general direction of the object of interest. His foot eventually bumped into something. He bent down, praying to the divines that what he had seen were not the lifeless bodies of his precious livestock. As he squinted, he let out a gasp as he realized what he had seen.
Lying before him, buried in snow was a deathly pale teen with snow covered auburn hair. Alarms were going off in the man's head as he panicked, not knowing if the young man was alive or not and more or less, a bandit or simply a traveler. He decided to risk taking the stranger home in hopes that he could save him from death's cold embrace. Carefully, he slung the boy's arm around his shoulder and hoisted him up, the deathly cold touch causing the hair on his neck to rise. Slowly, he began his painful and harsh journey towards what he suspects to be the direction of his home, slowly dragging the limp body along.
The world was dark…
Wander drifted aimlessly in the unfamiliar void, a strange sense of tranquility coming over him.
"Am I dead…?" he wondered
"You're not." A voice boldly stated
At this Wander grew curious. Who was this person?
"Who are you?" he asked
The voice snicker "Nobody important. I'm just here to give you a warning."
Wander's curiosity grew "Warning?"
He could tell the mysterious person was nodding "The gods have a pretty big plan for you" he answered cockily
The teen frowned "Plan?"
"Nothing I can tell you. Now that my job is done, it's time for you to wake up." The voice stated
"Wait!" Wander called before the world flashed white.
Who was that mysterious person? What plans do the gods have in store for Wander?
All will be unraveled in time…
Now a message to all the readers who read this previously and continued to check in:
I deeply apologize that I didn't update this story in a VERY long time. I have been dodging in fear of being set on fire by flamers. I would like to say thanks to eschmongu and TheNomade5 for leaving a review that helped me get motivated to start up once more. Also I am sorry if this chapter isn't as good as my last one (I've just gotten back into writing again so I need a little time to get back into epic writing mode) and I will be updating this fic weekly if I'm allowed and I will be starting the parallel stories very soon.
Hopefully, by the next update I'll be able to tell you all their titles and I hope that you enjoy them like you enjoyed this story so far.
May the Divines bless you my friends.
