OOC: Okay, I'm pretty much making this up as I go along, so bear with me. There won't be much story in this first post because I don't want to completely waste my time with this if no one else ends up posting. If someone does, I'll reveal the story and the layout of the world, etc. in character as much as possible...and of course it's always open to change.
I may be a bit rusty...so yeah
IC:
The sun stood at the edge of the world in a thread of dark orange light, dipping its head from dusk into final night. Soon the world would be dark, and Auberon would die. The cloth pressed against his shoulder had been stained deep crimson for some time, barely stopping the flow of blood that ran beneath it. He had walked the same dirt road between one village and another for days, not crossing the path of anyone else. Simply alone.
This is how it ends, he thought bitterly, smiling in spite of the pain. He stumbled, fell to the ground and rolled onto his back, one hand pressing against his shoulder and the other caressing the long grass at his side.
Stars were in the sky like a million prying eyes, watching, waiting. For what? My death. The winds were moving the trees all around him, whispering in their branches and rustling his dark hair across the dirt path. Auberon closed his eyes and felt tears gathering at their corners.
Who will remember? Now the sun was gone and night was spread fully upon the world, wrapping the air in cold, embracing darkness. Auberon tried to remember how long he had lived...20 years? It seemed so short a time now, only an instant in a place that might go on forever.
"So far, my love. So very far we've come."
He was watching the stars, weeping. Soon the tears and the world became far away, and Auberon closed his eyes.
OOC: Okay, nothing great, but there it is. To give a little more explanation, it's a fantasy story, midevil sort of thing, and if anyone wants to join in, please do. Otherwise Auberon never opens his eyes
