(08/04/14 04:30:06 ) Kanady - Sulport - [-Hall of Sulport-] Is within the Main gathering Hall. Surrounded by the warmth of the many blazing fires and scents of freshly cooked food oozing in from the kitchens. Gentle music dances through the air from the roaming lute players. The Hall is mostly for residents of Sulport and any uninvited guests will be stopped by the guards at the doors. says to ALL: there were streaks of sunlight coming in through the boarded up windows and the light made crisscross patterns over the carnage that made the gruesome scene even more horrific. I pushed myself up the wall and off the floor. My fingers were still curled around the hilt of the knife and now the blood had dried and my fingers were stuck but I pried them loose and picked my way to the doors. I had to tug and pull at the barricades until I was able to inch the door open and stepped outside. i didn't even let myself look out over the town but ran down the steps and around the side of the hall and past the blacksmith shop and the animal pens. I just kept running, I knew there were larls let loose last night and I didn't care. My goal was to wash and the stream was the best place I knew of. I would be able to wash my clothing and my body at the same time. I didn't care if anyone saw me or not. I had clothing in the house, if it was still standing, but I was sure that I would find something. I looked up to see the treehouse still there suddenly this place was looking good. the stream was there and I walked into it, boots, clothing there was no reason to remove anything. the minute I stepped in the water it began to swirl red. ribbons of it washed downstream and would wash over the falls. the water was cold and I walked out into deeper water and finally plunged under the surface, shaking my head under water. |

(08/04/14 07:11:29 ) Kanady - Sulport - [- The Stream -] A serene stream that runs all through Wild Tarsk Woods and out across the peasant fields. The stream is not connected to the Vosk and the water is fresh. In parts, the stream is no more than one foot shallow, in other parts it is said to be twenty foot deep. Following the stream would cause you to encounter a couple of rocky waterfalls in the woods as well as a small fishing pond. says to ALL: I needed to find soap, i needed to get out of the cold water and out of these clothes. I was still stunned and in shock at the nights events. I was having trouble putting coherent thoughts together as I looked down at my nails, they were still stained with blood around the cuticles and embedded under the nail. I was not immune to blood and killing, but this had been something different. It was slaughter, vengeance, insanity.......and I had joined in, I had wallowed in it slid around and rolled in it. It was now a part of me growing and living in the depths of my soul. I had thrived last night, I had lived through the night and I had sent a few men to hell.

It seemed too far, but I climbed the scaffolding and stepped onto the wrap around porch. The chest with all my personal belongings was in the corner of the house and i entered the door. Everything seemed alright here, no blood or stench of death and laid down on the mats and grabbed blanket to curl up under...... (08/04/14 13:28:25 ) Kanady - Sulport - [-Wild Tarsk Woods-] Somewhere within the large thicket of ancient trees that sits halfway between Sulport and Fina. It acts as a borderline for the two homes and with a shady unstable peace treaty in play; neither side dare cross into the others territory through fear of causing a full blown war. says to ALL: there were no workers today and i didn't even know if any of them were still alive. I may end up finishing it alone. I needed to go wash with soap. I didn't have a mirror so I didn't know what my hair would look like, but I gathered the soap, a towel and washcloth and climbed down the scaffolding to slowly drag myself to the stream again where I would wash and try to scrub away the stains. I was almost to the stream when I realized that I had forgotten my clean clothes and I didn't care. There would be no one around today so I could safely walk back to the treehouse to get them. This time before entering the stream I removed my boots and clothing and went into the water and began to scrub. I dug at each fingernail, the cuticles and the wrinkles of my knuckles. I scrubbed the wound and my face, I even scrubbed at my teeth with the soap and washcloth. and then my hair. I lathered, rinsed and lathered again and again. The blood and gore had soaked through my clothing and into my skin. Every inch of flesh on my was scrubbed til it burned, in fact I'm not sure that some of the skin might even be gone, but all traces of blood were gone and I returned to the grassy shore.

I pulled out the black leathers and a white shirt and eased each over my body.........I had no idea what to do next. Edited by 111111, Aug 4 2014, 08:54 PM.

(08/05/14 14:39:36 ) Kanady - Sulport - [-Hall of Sulport-] Is within the Main gathering Hall. Surrounded by the warmth of the many blazing fires and scents of freshly cooked food oozing in from the kitchens. Gentle music dances through the air from the roaming lute players. The Hall is mostly for residents of Sulport and any uninvited guests will be stopped by the guards at the doors. says to ALL: the streets of Sulport were sombre because death still walked among us. I walked up the steps to the hall at a slow pace, one step and then stopping to look at the guards, they would see the distrust in my eyes because I did nothing to hide it. They are no longer my protectors. Guards tried to kill us all that night, guards wanted to take the homestone from Sulport. I took another step, then another until I was standing inside the doors. That dance of murderous intent was playing before my eyes again. We were all looking at one another with open hatred and distrust, we had turned on each other that night, Each person saw the others as traitors and at that moment we all became killers, no longer were we man, woman, slave or free we were traitors and we were killers. I was hurting and I had hurt others. It was impossible for me to gain back anyone's trust because i didn't realize I had lost their trust until and axe had come flying to my head. I didn't even fully realize it until the day after and slowly now it was beginning to sink in........ I had adored the men of Sulport and now I wanted to hide from them, my heart was aching and I felt bereft of their presence and yet fearful if I was in their presence.

There was a smell of cleaning but no one could wash away that night of horror. There were a couple of new tables that I drew my fingertips over and my eyes floated to the black door that we had defended. We All defended that stone that lay behind that door Why do we all want to distrust each other now? What is wrong with us? |

It acts as a borderline for the two homes and with a shady unstable peace treaty in play; neither side dare cross into the others territory through fear of causing a full blown war. says to ALL: there was smoke coming from the chimney because I had started a fire in the fireplace and I was sitting on a fur on the floor watching it. it was not a blaze but a small fire. I would sleep here tonight, amazingly I had slept every night since it all went down. I would dream about it all, but I did sleep and slept well. There were dreams but they were not disturbing. I reached my hand over to pick up the knife, the handle was still covered with blood though the blade had been cleaned, sharpened and oiled. The blood was still tacky and I held it reverently as I closed my eyes to remember what it had felt like to kill to watch the spray of blood pulsing with each dying beat of their heart, then the last one had lost his guts when his balls had been sliced open. There was something seriously wrong with me, I had been born defective because I knew now that I had a penchant for killing, it is something abysmal that is growing within me. I have just enough Karian in me to be sneaky and guarded about it, but it was there nonetheless. I was also small so I am not able to wield large, heavy weapons, but I can be deadly when I am close, on the inside of a swinging axe or sword. The outside package was the perfect disguise for the clawing, raging menace that is my driving force. I am forever changed. |
