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?))
''Uh... Just like that? Alright...'' *She would sit on the cushion* ''Well I was born in Nevaehlen lived normally till I was 5 years old, I just wanted to go up the trees and stay there most of the time my Mother had to go get me all the time. One day I went up another tree in a forest, after I went up I saw a big building made out of stone, so I went to investigate. After getting a close look I decided it would be better to go back however when I tried to go back I tripped from the tree and fell on a carriage thankfully it might had saved my life however not everything was good. I woke up in a cage some light skinned people with short ears were outside talking in a language I didn't understand at the time, I was confused and didn't know what to do so I just closed my eyes and waited, waited and waited. After a long hour I felt movement and the cage was in the carriage I fell before I didn't know where it was taking me but I just knew this wasn't good. I tried to break the cage but just hurt my arm trying. I was hopeless, there was nothing I could do.'' *She would sigh looking disappointed* ''I always question myself what would happen if I didn't go investigate and just went back to my Mom. But now theres nothing I can do. Continuing, after sometime we stopped the men who were taking me somewhere were panicking like they've seen something they shouldn't, I was just there stuck without a way to run while they were already on their way to the city without their carriage. Knowing I could do nothing I just tried to hide my self or play dead. After some minutes I heard footsteps coming from the front of the carriage. I just ignored and continued pretending however the steps got louder and louder until they reached the cage I couldn't hide my fear, they knew I was there and alive. I opened one of my eyes and saw some women and men with a really dark skin like a cavern dark. *She would adjust herself* ''They were the Dark Elfs, they opened the cage and took me into their cave, feed me and tried to talk to me however I was too terrified to speak for some days. In my third day there I started interacting with them as I could see they did not mean to hurt me. For some years I passed my time in the cave and learned a ton of stuff. I couldn't fix the past but I could fix my future. I always tried my best so I could thank them for saving me. Around 15 years later I was 20 years old, the Elfs from the cave needed supplys since I was already old enough they sent me and some other elfs to get food at a town. I was a little scared at first to go to a town but my friends helped me get around it. After we made it to the town we needed to go to the shop we buy and sell food and materials from I believe it was called ''Negozio di Tonino'' (I had no ideas for a name of a shop don't blame me) we passed half an hour waiting to get what we needed but it was worth it we had everything needed and all we needed to do is go back to the cave. When we were leaving I saw some people that looked my me I told my friend about it and they agreed to go talk to them, the conversation went mostly like this:
- Hey, uh I know this sounds strange but you kinda look like me are we family?
The women from their group said:
- ''Huh? I don't think so? But you do look like us you are probably an wood Elf. Why are you with the Dark Elfs?''
* Eve would say *
- ''Wood Elfs and Dark Elfs? What is that?''
* The women would say *
- ''Their both races or well rather sub-races from the Elfs. There High-Elfs, Wood-Elfs and Dark-Elfs. Didn't you notice you were a little different than them?''
* Eve would just be confused and be looking at the women*
- ''Look if you want I can take you back to the Wood Elfs if you wish too. Just comeback tomorrow to this spot. But now I have to go I have children to feed alright?''
* The woman would wave and leave with her group *
''I was completely confused and told my friends everything. They also didn't knew there were other races, so we went to an Elder of the cave and told him about what happen during our expedition. He essentially told us all about the races and how they work or look like, and explained thats why I looked different than the rest of the cave. When we were alone I asked him if I could go with the woman and discover more about my past and try to find my Mother. He told me I was old enough to decide my future so after a night of thinking I decided to go. I thanked all my friends for the help they gave me and thanked the people who help me escape and I just went to the town and search for the women.'' *She would breath slowly and adjust herself again* ''Your coshions are little unconfortable... Anyways after some hours of waiting I saw the woman and went up to her. She told me to hop into her horse and she took me to where most Wood Elfs live and there it all started...''
