A Figure In Blood

[CharredAsh 2]

I apologize for the lack of color, pictures and general prettiness. I'm doing this on a phone. Expect a few typos as well. I kept trying to do this in game, but people seem to be absent every time.

The main north road from the Cloud Temple seems fairly empty as a lone figure trudged down through the gently falling snow. A cloak is draped across its shoulders, but does not cover it's head, though the flurries and it's distance keep the face obscured. As you would approach, they would see that the figure seems to be stumbling, one of its legs not holding it's weight.

At this point, the figure seems to be human in height, though hunched over, with only one arm hanging at its side. The figure is muffled through the snow, but you can hear it's heavy breathing. At this point, you may stop, or turn away and move in the other direction, or you may continue forward.

Whatever your choice, after a few more steps the figure falls, Keeling over and landing on its side roughly in the snow. Should you move closer you will begin to see the dark stains on the snow that lead down the way the figure has come, as well as the growing pool around the figure.

Upon closer inspection, the figure would be a young man 9 about twenty years, breathing heavily and laying on his side. His matted and tangled black hair falls around his face as sweat drips from his cheak, followed by a blood droplet racing after it. His icy blue eyes open, looking unfocused and weary.

The man seems to have been beaten, bruises covering his body, and he beard several cuts, including a fairly bad one across his chest, his arm, hidden from sight before, crossing the wound as though trying to keep his life blood from spilling out. His clothes, besides the gray cloak, are torn and ripped, rags that would keep out little cold.

"Help me," he would whisper quietly, barely within earshot, "Please help me..."

So! If you know Toov, you would be able to recognize him. If you dont, react as you will. This is my post returning from a fairly long break for school and life, and I'm excited to get back into it!

Katari steps towards the man, murmuring a quiet prayer as he calls upon the aid of Tahariae. After a few moments of praying, his hands are engulfed in heavenly light. He clears his throat, gesturing towards the cuts. "I will aid you, hold still please..."

 

((Sorry for the short response, wrote this while I was out and about. If you want, we can coordinate a meeting in-game, as I will not be able to continue tonight.))

A man in a fishing poncho looks up towards the road, having been fishing off the coast. Nothing was biting so he decides to check out his surroundings. Spotting the lone figure, he thought perhaps it may have been a local. Upon seeing said figure fall over, the man drops his pole and begins climbing up the small hill to get back on to the road. He stops behind a tree, spotting Katari. 

 

He waits, watching the scene unfold before him.

The man watches the cleric with one eye, the other clenched tightly closed in pain. At the words of the Cleric, he struggles to keep himself still, forcing his breathing to become slower and more drawn out as the blood continues to leak from his body.
