An Arrival

[LaCabra (Soda) 1519]

The sun rises upon the Eastern hills of the Vale, sending beams of dusty light into the burrows of the Halflings. It is safe too assume that this day will be a good one. The birds chirp and whistle, while the wind rustles the leaves of every tree, creating a "Hssssshhhhhh" sound that trickles throughout the town. All seems peaceful, all seems serene. Soon after, a different noise comes up. It goes, "Crunch, crunch, smack, crunch, crunch, smack."

You listen to this noise, and soon recognize it as the sound of footsteps joined with a walking stick. As you turn your head, a small figure can be seen walking across the bridge towards the Drunken Sheep in. This figure seems cheery enough, as he is whistling and skipping along. After a few minutes of seeing this young Halfling's delight, he meanders to your direction. His face seems recognizable, but you cannot seem to grasp who he is. Your thoughts are soon answered, as he holds his hand out and begins to speak.

" 'ello, mister! I'm new 'ere... Jus' arrived from the Cloud Temple! "

You converse happily for a few more minutes, until he finally says his name.

" Me name is Bili! Bili 'ollowmead. Ye migh' 'ave known me father, Rill. Anyways, I'd bes' be leavin' ye alone. Don' wan' te waste yer time, eh? "
