Bircalin rises from the cow, blade in hand as he scours the carcass for edible meat. Finding nothing he looks onto the coming night. Gazing longingly at the sunset almost hoping any form of food would appear before his very eyes. How he missed his time as a Druid. The abundance of broth, bread and apples. Living from nature was all he knew. He'd become a shell of his former self now. Dousing the sparks of life in creatures, hoping to aquire meat.
Realising he'd become deeply lost in nostalgia, he regained his vision to find that he'd been eyeing a relatively large windmill.
He began wading through the small bed of water surrounding the tip of the island. Reaching the small embankment of the island, Bircalin noticed he had been here twice before on his travels. Both times he would sit in the canopies that lay at the foot of the island and watch longingly as the inhabitants talked.
It had been decades....decades...decades since Bircalin had someone to call a friend. Small talk, how he missed small talk with a mug of ale. Now his days are spent protecting Indelwehn, fending off bandits and assassins. It was the life of adventure he'd longed for. However he now found this life brought his and others lives in danger, it was the life he wished would cease to exist.
This third time in Salvus enlightened him. He was no longer a man that could be deemed friendly. He'd become the villain in childrens tales, a man of no emotion and bitterness. Instead of mustering the bravery for conversation once more, the shell of a Human laid a batch of baked bread Indelwehn gifted him for the hunt down on the bank, wrapped in ragged cloth.
" Nowhere for me anymore but home.."
Bircalin returns to the opposite shore once again returning to the hunt diligently.
