The Retreat

The rain patters softly on the mossy stones, dripping down slowly into the abyss of the damp cave. There lies no light from outside, yet a deep fog needlessly covers the walls. In the dark, however, lies a single torch. Beside it sits a man wearing blue robes, his hood pulled down.

 

The man looks around at the glistering cave sides as the rain gently patters through loose cracks that range for meters above his head. He makes no sounds as he observes the place. In the damp light, his blue eyes, pale skin and bright blonde hair seem to grow darker. He holds himself tight to try and ignore the fast approaching cold, yet it is hardly effective.

 

He raises a jug, sipping the water from its insides one last time, the dried fruits upon his other side. He looks around once more before slowly whispering a set of words...

 

"... By and by, let the future bring me wisdom without fear. Let the Light bring itself upon me in this time and allow me to fade from this world for however long it needs me gone..."

 

And, with his final words spoken, he raises a gloved hand and quenches the flame...

 

... he is gone.

Far off in the forests of Fiandra a fairly young high elf meditates beside a tree the wind blows softly bending the grass as the leaves above him flutter sporadically ,and fall down around him. He sighs thinking about his friend Socari. The last encounter he had was them fighting over some silly thing.  "Was I the cause of his disappearance?" Is the only thing he can think as he waits. Waits for his friend to appear once again.

Elsewhere, a young mali'ame girl sits day-dreaming... How long until his next visit? Would he even again? Or had she scared him off?

*A certain woman donning green and black robes continues to visit a certain cave, perhaps hoping to meet others there*
