The weathered and worn monk

Post by A Brother »

A sharp clanging sound ringing in his head began to wake him. As his eyes opened and parted the darkness, the fires of the underworld raged before him. Utter confusion was perhaps the only clear thing at the moment. As he looked up, the crimson sky seemed to scream back at him, beneath him the earth rumbled steadily. Slowly fragmented memories began to siphon into his consciousness, bits and pieces of his time among the living, but not what brought him to this place or how long he’d been here. He struggled forward, seemingly bound in ethereal chains that dragged behind him slowing him to a crawl. All around the derelicts of the underworld cried out, bound by their own agony and seeking only the simplest of peace. A shimmering light appeared before him burning his eyes and forcing them shut. His attempts to block the light with his hands were worth little, and the figure within the glowing crimson light stepped forward. "You served well among the living, Prexus… but I would not see you here… yet. In your last life you served us, go serve yourself. And it has been a few centuries since you last walked the mortal plain… return to it."

Birds chirping above forced a grimace and his awakening. The weathered and worn monk, though barely able, struggled to his feet. He looked around, squinting his eyes into slits, blinking a few times, then opening them. After a few moments to adjust to the light he was able to make out his surroundings. Lost somewhere in the mountains, but suddenly sure of himself. Making his way over many months, foraging and fighting to survive, he was finally reunited with his city, Tranos. Moving into town he noticed much was different around him, though very much the same. He made his way to brother Kringle, who of course, seemed shocked to see him, perhaps even finding it difficult to recognize him after all this time. The brother, still marked by the Brotherhood entered the Guild.
