Haranis was still getting used to Kantas after arriving by boat a few days ago. He had never seen such a busy and colorful city before. He felt nervous as he explored the streets and markets, looking for a place to stay and a job to do.
He felt like a fish out of water as he wandered through the crowded streets of city of Daring Heights. The noise, the smells, the colours, everything was overwhelming. He missed the quiet of the forest, the harmony of the animals, the freshness of the air. He felt a pang of loneliness as he realised he had no one to talk to, no one who understood his way of life. He wondered how he could ever find his way to his home, his nature.
But gold pieces he needed. As he learned quickly, here, a silver piece is not much... So when he saw this group of "adventurers" (what is that by the way.. They live in a fort, call this an adventure?) when one said that he could gamble some money he wanted to try. But THREE gold pieces? He never had that much, why would he?
He was different, but that didn't stop him from being accepted.
He was not out the wood (pardon the pun) yet. This dragon lady (suspicious about her), proposed a quest, 25gp. A dream! Yes of course. And they have to travel to a forest.
Haranis was hopeful. A forest. His element. But instead, farms, roads, all was urbanised. He felt worried, lost.
He's a man of honour, he agreed to a mission. He had to do it. Avoiding as he could the human interaction.
Oh… did he mention the rest of the party was almost only bards? they like to talk! Haranis doesn't.
As troubles started, he was the first in line. Maybe that would surprise you reader? Well he tried to be stealthy as the others. Let's just say jumping a small wall is harder than you think!
The guards were here. In front of him. yes at this moment he felt empowered. He did what he knows well, wake up nature around him to help others. Vines from the ground to restrain guards. And the hawk figure on his magical totem to guide his companions into success.
Part of the rest went like a blur. Arilian rushed to the compound. Too fast for his eyes to comprehend (how ??), lost sight of Ronkk and Kem.this massive piece of muscle of Ronkk. Impressive.
They learnt the existence of this cult of the boar. Again not what he expected. Haranis do praise boars! None sense to make cult out of this, no? These mage in robes ? A rocky purple things we found is hardly suspicious for Haranis, but he will pursue his knowledge of this. He was told boar as a star constellation. Too confusing for him.
Payment they got, he walked back from this first adventure (that was indeed one!) full of hope to integrate in this world and to bring part of his knowledge with him

As he sets for the night. His eyes glow red. As he is feeling his dark energy inside grow lot more than it to used to in the old lands. He's not sure if it's dark or light energy… he tries to hide this from others, but for how long..
