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?))
Winton meanders along the the twisting paths, crossing damp wooden palettes covered in moss and inhaling the dense, earthy scent of petrichor rising from the wet grass, moss and forestry surrounding the swamp town, mixing with the pungent tones of rotted wood that travelled through his nostrils; there was something rather satisfying about the smell, and there was the distant, wafting scent of the occasional street vendors stationed outside the shacks and coming from some of the open windows of the cabins, he didn't know what it was but it smelt good.
He ducks across, proceeding to step into the tattered tent that stood before him. As soon as he enters the tent he squints, holding a hand above his eyes. His pupils slightly constricting as he adjusts to the change in lighting from the dim, dark and dingy exterior to the well-lit interior of the tent illuminated by a series of candles. His eyes flick from side to side, observing the interior of the small tent before meeting the old hag's gaze as she began to spoke.
"My story?" Winton's eyes slightly widen, before nodding and taking a seat upon her gesture - getting comfortable against the cushion. "I'm no-one, just a passerby." He continues, resting his tired legs whilst seated, he had been travelling for a long time now and needed a short break. "I was working as a farmer until war plagued my small town, and we were all forced to leave." He says pensively, before resuming. "I've come from a place far from here, looking to find a city to settle in, maybe find some work and put this all behind me."
