Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
As only the blight of his eyes could be seen, with a calm but firm voice:
"I am just a man, with no family to leave behind nor dreams to chase, even the vengeance that would have solidified me as a fool vanished like sand on the day I went hunting, and when I returned, only the ashes of my home remained.
I cannot say if my daughter lives beside Khoda, or if she had the misfortune of witnessing the tragedy that is this world. Despite all of this, something still drives me. I don’t know if it’s the will of the supreme, making me his instrument, or the hope that one day I will be by my daughter’s side, as we’ve always been destined to be.
After that, I spent years alone, drifting through shadows in search of redemption—fighting for survival, killing for whispers of truth. And in the end, a single trace of that fateful night in the desert emerged. Once more, the sands of destiny have tilted in my favor. If it is the will of the Supreme, I will not fail.
Only the sands know the depth of my struggles, and only Khoda knows the extent of my resolve. The true question, witch, is whether you too desire to know."
