It has taken me a long time to get round to posting this. T'is not because I am lazy, well not just that but it is because I actually know little of it. This may sound weird but is true. So I can only tell you what I know. I woke up on the morning of 22 First Harvest 288 lying on the boardwalk at Visage de la mer. I ached all over, my clothes were ripped and torn and covered in salt stains as though I had been in the sea and had dried. There was a waterproof bag leaning against the telescope that was there. I opened it and found what was obviously a birthday card which said "Happy 18th Artois" but was not signed. There was nothing else in the bag and my clothes were so ruined as to give me no clues either. For a while I despaired and lay there sobbing. Then I realised I must pull myself together. I did so and wandered towards the wonderful palace I had seen through the telscope when my tear-filled eyes had cleared.. I came to Devardec and was filled with apprehension as I saw so many people who I did not know and seemed too busy to even notice me. As I was walking however I did come across a person who seemed to care. That person was Dimetrios. He helped me find the Adventurers Guild and gave me money to spend on new clothes and skills. As we did this he talked of his guild and his love for his fellow rangers and the land itself. I did not realise it at the time but his speech was reaching deep inside me and finding a kindred spirit. As I learned and grew Dimetrios kept in contact and before I really knew what was happening I had become convinced that I too was a ranger. I spoke to other rangers who were helpful and wise but like Dimetrios never pushed me in any direction. When it came to killing the stag and finding the redwood even Destyni had to encourage me. This land is obviously not mine for its geography was strange to me and hunting down the guild was a long process for me. Now I am a member I want to make the guild proud of me. I may not be the greatest fighter the guild will know but I have somehow fallen in love with this land that I know so poorly. My aim is to learn its every corner, nook and cranny and to share what I learn with my fellow rangers who I respect and love so much Artois |
