Feeling a light crisp breeze caress my face as the soft chirps of birds fill the stillness of my now empty home.

I lay motionless with my eyes closed for a bit enjoying the peaceful morning, My eyes adjust slowly as the sun has yet to come up and the breeze fills the room

a slight chill nothing too bad but the warmth of my blanket was just as comforting as the dark room I lay on as I had left the window open last night

a small blue bird came into the room delicate and small it flutters over to my bed and land softly on the table beside my bed.

A soft blue barely visible in the early dawn of Spring, I sit up taking slow and steady breaths loosening up any stiff joints before getting out of bed

the coolness of Wooden floor creaks as I rest my feet upon its old surface stretching my back until a loud pop breaks the silence.

I stand up and get prepared to leave my house and its cold hollow halls with which life and warm left a long time ago, No Pictures hang on the Walls and a grey tone sits upon its rooms the void of life and dust.

I get dressed putting on the usual outfit for a commoner along with some old worn bull leather chest and

Legging armor alongside some old guard issued gloves that have thin chitin that protect from thorns and glass

incase I fall on some given to me after patrolling the town as one of the only few men here as look out for monsters not the best gear but

what can I hope for coming from a poor town on the farthest outskirts of the kingdom,

with barely any trade from merchants that pass through however I'm grateful that I'm not starting

off with nothing at all. I don't have enough money to buy a shield but I do own an old iron short sword

its chipped and somewhat dull but given enough force it'll cleave a small goblin in half, alongside an old amulet depicting the moon I lock my house up for the final time

just as Day breaks the horizon, I'm sad yet thrilled to move on with my life its a make or break kinda life and you can only live once..

It'll take a few hours to get to town as its about 15 miles up the hill side as my house sits at the bottom of Tarlow owned by "The Homestead of Tarlow"
