The Proper Role-Play

I nod. "After I'd built my shelter, and went to the town, all that, I went back into the forest, a few tree lengths across from my camp, I saw them. They'd searched for me while I was out. They were calling for me."

 

I nod slowly. "What did these men look like? And keep going, please."

 

"The women? She was tall, pure white long hair. The men were wearing green leather armor and both had black short hair." I reply.

 

I nod, so close to my target now. "Continue.." I say, rubbing my chin slowly.

 

"I had turned to run but they'd shot a bow at me. The person walked up to my body, lying on the ground, she pulled the arrow out of my back and hissed in my ear 'Serves you right for running away after killing your parents, Narkio.' " I grip my shoulder where the arrow struck me when I was younger. "I had gasped in pain as she pulled out the arrow from my shoulder. Two men had walked up to me. Each grabbing me by the shoulders and carried me to a town."

 

"Narkio??" I ask, rising from my the floor.

 

I lean against the railing, anxious.

I look out over the scenery and then start pacing.

 

I look at my feet and nods "My true name." I mutter quietly, painfully and stand, walking to my cabin.

 

"You should have told me your name! It all fits now! ABOVE DECKS!" I bellow, running to the wheel. "WE ARE TAKING OFF!" I yell, hands flying at different levers at lightning speed.

 

I look at Smighter, surprised by his outburst. I grip a railing and shout at LoneStar as the engines start running, "I need an orb! You never know when we'll need a quick escape!"

 

I look behind me, confused At least I've no need to tell the rest... That's a good thing... Right? I sit on my bed, feeling the forevermore Assassin's Curse on my shoulder blade and I rub it softly closing my eyes, the memory arising behind my eyelids.

 

"Just shut up and enjoy the ride." I shout back. "I'll make some orbs if we're in danger."

I walk to Tess. "What happened? He seems...a bit...um what's the word?"

 

"Sleep, Tess! Be well rested for when we need you! LoneStar, Maelstrom! Go below decks! Sleep! I need you to man the weapons tomorrow!" I yell, eyes on my compass, getting the right course.

 

I stand with my arms folded.

"I don't sleep that much. So I'm fine for now." I say bluntly.

 

"Enthusiastic." I mutter and curl under the covers of my bed. Glad of not having to say the rest as I lay a hand on my ribs.

 

I yell back up, "See you later!" I walk below decks and go to my room, instantly falling asleep.




G'night everyone!

 

"I'm not crazy! I need to get there as fast as possible! Something is going to happen! Now sleep!!" I yell, going full throttle on the sails.

 

I sigh and close the door and lean against it watching Smighter's actions.

"Complicated machinery? Oh and what is the destination anyway." I ask

 

I blink sleepily and fall asleep, awaiting the morning, having another of the dreams of meeting my taskmaster.

 

"Very complicated. Hard to memorize. The Destination.." I scowl suddenly. "You wouldn't know. Nor any others. It's far away." I whisper the last part.
