I've decided to spend a brief amount of time in your home shadows. As such, I allow you to set your own initial scene. Once you've done so, I shall step in from there.

Shaen, you're up first. Time, day, month, year, location, and whatever else you feel necessary to tell us about. What're you up to?

Shaen awakens to a blinding headache, a pounding behind his eyes reducing his world to nothingness. The pure white pain brings about despair, realizing he has awakened to the same white nothingness he floated in for unknown eons before losing his grip on reality.

Slowly, the pain fades, and his vision returns. The nothing has gone, and left in its place a washed out, faded looking crumbling ruin. Slowly, the ruins start to look more solid. though he is unsure if his vision is simply clearing or if reality is coming back into existence around him. Sitting up brings a fresh stab of pain through the back of his neck, and he quickly leans back against a chunk of rubble. Taking in his surroundings as he rests away the pain, they slowly take shape. Though they have fallen and been overgrown, the layout of the walls does match the citadel he had come to investigate. Their condition would indicate they have been crumbled and unoccupied for a number of years.

Unsure if it is a good idea or not, Shaen stands, shaking out the kinks in his muscles and checking his kit. Everything appears to be in order, so he sets out to satisfy his curiosity. Poking around the ruins reveals no new points of interest or enlightenment. With a mental shrug, Shaen sets off through the forest toward a small village which was in the area, hoping to find answers of what has happened here.

Shaen waves in a friendly manner. "Well met! I did indeed have a bit of trouble locating the landmarks I was told about, but I seem to have won free of those bloody woods at last!" Shaen offers his hand, and glances around the farmstead, nodding appreciatively. "Looks like the season will be treating you well. I can see why you don't get many coming from that way though" Shaen jerks his thumb over his shoulder at the woods with a grimace "Bloody woods are like a damned maze! And there was some creepy looking ruins back there too, didn't want to get too close to those for sure. Could be haunted or something right? You can never be sure about places like that."

Pulling his water skin from his belt and uncapping it, Shaen pauses a moment "Hey, you think I could top this off? A bit stale after a few days in there ya know?"

"Well, you cannot roam too far these days without knowing how to take care of yourself a bit" Shaen pats the belt holding the Bloodspikes as he speaks. "But still, that's no reason to go inviting trouble, especially from a good size ruin like that, who knows how many beasts could make a home in a place that size. I'm betting there's quite a story behind that place." Gesturing to the shadow cast by a large tree he continues "Say, do you mind if I enjoy the shade a moment and take a quick meal before I continue on?"

As he speaks, and settles to take his meal if allowed to do so, Shaen tries to place why the farm looks familiar. He tries to place this location in relation to the now ruined keep and remember what should be here.

Shaen keeps a close watch on him, but keeps his manner friendly. "That is a story I would love to hear, collecting good tales is half the pleasure of traveling. If you prefer I can have my meal as I continue on though, would hate to impose and all. Is there perhaps a town or village in the area I could restock on a few staples?" Shaen pats his pack as he speaks, remaining friendly and casual, while keeping a close watch on the young mans eyes.

btw, giving you a lil time to do anything on your end while the farmer is off scene -- in case you were waiting for more from me.

Shaen takes a moment to look around, seeking anything familiar to explain this deja voo. Settling beneath a tree he tries to keep himself totally open to anything out of the ordinary or unusual while digging some rations out of his pack and awaiting the return of the young man.

Shaen waves in a friendly manner to the approaching farmer "Greetings! I was just having some lunch. Your helper there" Shaen gestures toward the house while speaking "Said it was ok if I made my meal here before continuing on."

While greeting the farmer, Shaen keeps his sense focused on the farm, seeking for any sign of what is actually going on here.

Standing quickly in alarm, his meal forgotten, Shaen says in a hushed voice "Elder, there is a young man in your house dressed in orange and green, less than 20 winters. He bid me welcome and said he had an errand to tend inside. You do not know this man?"

While speaking, he keeps an eye on the house and seeks for easy entry points and potential blind spots which could not be observed from within.

Food forgotten, Shaen stands quickly, hands slipping beneath his robe to take hold of the Bloodspikes. "Elder, please stay out of sight while I find the truth of this matter."

Shaen moves in a quick run, settling against the side of the small house next to the doorway. The spikes seem to almost hum with power, a slight trickle of blood sliding down his wrist as his grip has opened small cuts in his hands. Sense tuned for danger, Shaen nudges the door open with his boot, peeking in to see where the young man may be and what he is doing in the farmhouse.

Startled, Shaen tries to stay quiet, quickly ducking his head back around the door frame and out of sight. He tries to remain still and quiet enough to hear anything that might be said within, keeping a keen ear out for signs that he has been noticed or they are moving toward the door.

Looking back, Shaen gestures the old man toward the nearest tree or barn, hoping he will move out of sight. He begins moving slowly toward the corner of the house, keeping his tread light trying to keep his steps quiet while his mind desperately tries to place the voice he has heard.

Someone from his past? Someone from the keep? A strange version of his own voice? His mind quickly cycles through the possibilities, reflexes keeping his steps quiet. With a quiet gasp, he misses a step, scraping the edge of the house as the stories of a sister never found rush back to the forefront of his thoughts. He glances around, remembering the old farmer, hoping he has ducked out of sight.

((OOC Switching to a first person post style I think, I like different styles for different characters and games, just finding the right feel still))

Hearing the thoughts in my head given voice as I have barely finished thinking them raises immediate suspicions. Creatures of the dark sometimes can pluck thoughts from the heads of the innocent. While I left my innocence long ago, the principle remains the same.

Eyes trailing over the side of the house and grasses scorched by the blast, it would seem that perhaps discretion would be the better part of valor here. Coming quickly to my feet after throwing myself from the path of the blast, I quickstep to a nearby tree. A glace back at the hole in the house and scorched grass makes me second guess myself, deciding that keeping a clean line of sight may do more to keep me alive than the trunk of the tree, I settle to a stop beside it, balancing lightly on my fee, ready to move in any direction.

"Is that any way to greet your long lost little brother? Dear sister, I fear your manners have slipped! What would Daddy say about us fighting like this?"

Hoping to fish out more information, I call out loudly to those leaving the cabin. Standing beside the tree, spikes held out to the sides, ready but not threatening I can feel my blood slowly sliding from the grips down to drip from the points, a few thick scarlet drops splashing to the rich green grasses below.

"Now now Sis, that may be a bit premature, being that I don't even know your name. I appreciate the gesture of sisterly love, but I think perhaps we should get to know each other better first. I would feel much better about dieing if I at least knew why you wanted to kill me." I gesture vaguely over where my lunch lays abandoned on the grass, keeping my attention firmly on this disturbing mirror of myself. "Perhaps if we broke bread together?

I hold my ground, hoping to elicit some sort of reaction or hint as to what this is about. Before letting her within striking distance for a lunge I fall back, trying to circle the tree a bit to keep some space between us.
