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?))
"Aren't you that old lady who call for me?" he said while sitting in one of the cushions "This town has really fall from the grace of the Creator"
She laughs slightly, her eyes turn little sad after that, lost in her thoughts. The tent feels warm with the dim lights of the candles and completely different of the outside pictures. Some incense are light up trying to keep the odor from outside, but failing miserable.
"I'm sorry, I didn't meant it like that, it's just... my expectations where so high when the message arrived at my doorstep" he gets up to look around the then.
She awaits my answer.
"My story... I was raised all my life in Hyspia. I remember playing around La Plaza. Helping my father fishing my whole life kind of help me to realize my destiny, I want to set sail to the seas. Be one of the most famous captains that this world has seen. Maybe that way i would make him proud, my fath... I'm sorry, I don't want to bore you with this. Since he was gone I tried to enlist in any boat I could, even some fishing boats, but no one want someone without experience. It's so unfair, isn't? How can they see what are my skills if they don't let me show it." he contemplate the flame of the candles "Well. If they don't give an opportunity, I will show them. I will build my boat, I will gather a crew. And we will set sail to the endless sea. I swear by the Holy Scrolls that I will become the greatest captain this mundo has ever seen"
The old lady begin to clap with excitement.
"Thank you for this, I needed someone to ask me about my story. But is not about what it was, is about what it will become"
