The Journal of Damien Crow

New beginnings

It has been awhile since Damien had been out of the manor. He tweaked his hood before going more into the crowd. Many people didn't know that half-elfs or elfs were real, anyway he was there and he was real, he was still ordered to keep his hood on for a safety measure. He was sent to do some errands in the town square. "Wow the town is busier than the last time." He adjusted his backpack and sighed then continuing on his way around the town supposing he had somewhere around two hours before he had to head back to the manor. It was close to 4pm. He didn't have the best life as a servant at the Macrow manor, but he managed. he wouldn't call himself a servant, because he had to keep his master satisfied in many other ways than just serving food.

 "No wonder that bitch is so dense, he can't get himself off so he's always cranky unless I help him out." Damien gave a laugh to the thought and brushed it off. It wasn't fun, but that was the only place that took him in when he was without his memory and lost. He could survive on his own by stealing and tricking people, but he got a good pay in the manor.

"So are you ready to go?" Damien heard a dark voice coming from the direction of the town square. He as a curious lad wanted to know what's happening. When he got to the sounds origin he glanced at two men next to a carriage. One of them was covered with a black cloak that seemed too hot for sunny weather like this one you also couldn't see his face. The second man in the other hand was a tall human who seemed to be a little bit tipsy. he went a little closer and heard them talking. "Yeah, it's going to be three day ride to the Shadowgringe." He heard the same voice say. "So then we should be fine with the supplies or what do you think?" The other man questioned. 

 He doesn't know what draws him to them, but for some reason he wants to know what comes out of this trip of theirs. "Yes, we're ready to go" The man in the cloak says and hops into the back of the carriage. "So let's go then." The other one called out to the driver and then hopped on himself. 

In a fraction of a second Damien made a decision and started running toward the carriage. "Fuck this. I'd rather go adventure than stay a sex slave." He ran toward the already leaving carriage and tried to get to it, but it was too fast, but he didn't give up tho. He knew that if they wanted to get out of the city they would have to go through the city gates. He started running through some of the smaller alley ways and got to the gates just in time. When he saw the carriage going past he took a fast sprint and jumped to the back of the carriage. "Huh, that was close am I right."

You could see the confusion in both of the mans expressions. "And you are?" The cloaked individual said looking at Damian from under his hood "Hey, sorry for popping in so suddenly, but I heard that you are going to the Shadowgringe and thought that I could tag in, cause I'm going there too." He smiled warmly while lying, He would have to find something to do when they'd get to their destination, but that's problem for that time. "Sorry, but we don't have enough rations for you and it's a three day ride." the human said. "And also-" Before he could continue Damien stopped him. "And don't you worry about it. I have some of my own and I have money." He had some food that he was buying for the manor and 22 more gold pieces, he can last with them for a short time.

"Well..." The human said while looking the cloaked person. Damien had to admit, he had some mystery to him. "Well, okay then. Welcome to the group. I'm Nafaryan." The cloaked individual who just introduced himself as Nafaryan said. "And I'm Damyar." The human said with a slight smile on his face. "The more the merrier I guess." He continues. "Hey you two. My name is Damien. It's nice to meet you. I hope we have a good trip." He says and sits down beside Nafaryan. "As do I."  Nafaryan  remarks before adjusting his position and clearly trying to fall asleep. "Didin't he sleep last night or why he's trying to fall asleep." Damien tried to make up some conversation. "Bingo. Either of us didn't sleep much last night because we were checking for things that we might have forgotten." Damyar says with a tiered smile on his face. "Hopefully we get some good sleep during this trip." He says before closing his eyes. "We should take a nap. The next town isn't far away and our driver is going to see us off there." Nafaryan's voice said clearly wanting the others to be quiet. "Sleep well I guess." Says Damien before turning away from both of them and staring back at the direction of his home town. "See ya." he whispered and turned away again. He adjusted himself to be more comfortable and closed his eyes hoping that this was a good idea.
