I am the current guard, after I and the sorceress beat th ranger I took the role because I couldn't sleep anyways. Atleast now I have an excuse to run from my nightmares.
It's sayd that a group will have nightmares the first night they spend together, I'm not sure how long I would have lasted if I saw their faces again.
The grip on my blade tightened.
----------------------------------------
I patrolled through the forest like I always do except that I'm watching myself patrol. This again? How often do you want to tease me with this?
What? Don't you enjoy remembering the day you forgot how to smile?
Said my own voice to myself.
Perhaps if you were as good as your mother then that wouldn't have happened.
I didn't say anything, I can't win an argument against myself. Besides this all, was born from my weak mind.
Then the young version of me noticed something and froze, just like that day.
----------------------------------------
I smoked my pipe whilst enjoying a nice day.
"You know it's not really fair if you always smoke that thing."
"Oh please, not my fault that some idiots don't know when to stop."
"But you don't stop."
"I don't need to."
"One day your gonna regret it."
"Oh yeah? Gonna make me thunder boy?"
He fell silent, like always when I challenge him. We're thunder and flame a duo with with unparalleled destructive potential. But then a wet smell of dirt, the smell of rain came to my nose.
And then I shuddered as I realised that I have been betrayed.
----------------------------------------
It's a day like any other the waves shake the floating village and the seagulls plague the sky with their disgusting singing. I make sharkbait so that the spear fishers have a bit of extra time before they have to give up their catch.
I'm not really skilled with the spear myself as strong as I am it doesn't matter if I'm to slow to hit anything. The best I could catch are deepsee oysters and squids because they rather fight, the squids I mean how would an oyster fight?
My biggest value is that I'm quite good at building things because of my strength but when building boats or other complicated things I usually need the help of others, and with help I mean instructions.
Eh, doesn't really matter right now, I'm not here to work but to meet with the one who stole my heart.

But she never came.
----------------------------------------
It was chaos, people screamed and then were silenced by death. Most would panic right now but in the temple I and my fellow clerics where taught to stay calm in moments like these. More like got used to it.
I have to save them! But I can't, not like this, not unarmed. I need armor, I need a weapon. The armory, it's right there. I can just go in, I can just gear up. As I made my way there a hand grabbed me by the shoulder.
"No, don't do it. You took the oath to never wild a weapon to never kill or to harm others!"
I looked him in the eyes, he's a junior back from the temple, he has the same bleached hair and white robes on him just like me.
"I took an oath to save those that need me! And if I have to condem one life to save the other then I will do it without hesitation!"
He punched me in the face in a desperate attemp of stopping me.
But I punched back.
----------------------------------------
I'm dreaming, I know that and that's why I'm in controll. I'm fishing in a golden lake sitting in a golden boat wearing a golden suit. I have gold but I'm fishing for platin.
----------------------------------------
Just by the introduction of them I can tell more about them then they did.
The most illegal thing one can do in a forest is hide a body, but one can't grow shit there. The strongest thing one can grow in the red forest is a barry that would give you food poisoning. He probably killed someone. And ever since then he lived the life of a bandit.
The sorceress wasn't a student of the academia, if she was she would have elongated the name and titles of the academia and her own to make one fall asleep. She got her hands on fire magic some other way. She might be addicted but as long it doesn't get in the way.
The brute, he probably isn't that smart and he knows it that's why he didn't say what he actually did. He isn't a shark hunter but a deepsea hunter. That alone makes him dangerous and he didn't actually say where he's from.
Something mist have happened because the clerics of the temple wouldn't fight each other. He probably wasn't exiled and he probably burnt the mark of the sinner on himself and ran away.
The rogue is probably the most honest and best one of us. As she doesn't have the murky eyes of a murderer that all of us have.
----------------------------------------
There it layed, the lord of the forest. A majestic deer without any one as majestic as him, now dead. Its killer didn't take a trophy or a proof of the kill for they know what they did. I touched the blood that was still filled with a mysterious something beyond me and brought my hand to my face and then drew the symbol for 'hunter' on my cheek.
The hunt was on.
----------------------------------------
Flames roared, thunder crackled and water howled. Those sounds didn't leave the fight once. Thunder is hard to dogde is but easy to block. Water is hard to block but easy to dogde. But they're just sitting in that water dome completely protected from me, I will tire out before them. I grabbed a fistful of dark Ash and stuffed it in my mouth.
I will boil them alive!
----------------------------------------
Where is she? The other villagers looked at me worriedly. I don't like what's going on, something happened. Then, the bravest young man in the village approached me fearfully. He had something wrapped in cloth. He handed it over and stood straight. The thing wrapped in cloth was a hand. Her hand.
I recognise the teeth line at the spot where it was torn away, it's the work of a shark.
I walked away without saying anything, because nothing was asked. They knew what I'm gonna do. All I needed a weapon.
Then I jumped in the water.
----------------------------------------
I put on the chainmail I don't know how to put heavier armor on, then grabbed a short sword and a short shield. Now I was ready.
I ran out to help them but was stopped again.
"We can't let you do that!"
Four juniors stood in my way, all shorter than me. I just shoved them to the side. I need to help them, I need to save them!
----------------------------------------
Ha! Somethings took the bait! I pulled the golden fishing rod and pulled out of the water a silver fish. Not what I was hoping for but I'll take it!
----------------------------------------
So what now?
I'm sitting in a jar and right now I can't leave.
What can I do? Cry?
Hmm? My hostess seems to have a troubled sleep but what can I do?
