<span style="font-style: italic">Fire... heat... fear and death... Animals trying to flee... Elthan was running too. Flames were the prowlers and he was their prey. He had to reach the river. Only a few more steps and.... Jump! Into the river he dove and fast to the other side of the forest. The red uncontroled beast was swallowing everything in its path, turning trees and land into ashes and dust...</span><br/><br/>"No!" Elthan awoke. His longsword trembling in his hand. Cold sweat running down his forehead. A whole year has passed, yet those cursed nightmares wouldn't stop haunting him...<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Again those dreams..."</span>He seathed his sword and stood up. "Teror!" He called his smart raven.<br/>With a long cawing it landed on his shoulder. "Let's see if we had any lack" He said.<br/><br/>It has been a year since Elthan made his encampent on the other side of the forest. Now he was 'just a useless being' as he used to say to Teror. He couldn't protect the forest from the fire that broke out. He would only be redeemed if he took revenge for the destruction of nature.<br/><br/>Now he was off to see if he had caught anything to feed. Luckily the trap he setted yesterday had caought a wild boar. "Looks like we've just ensured our meal for today Teror my crafty friend." He said.<br/><br/>After the meal he had more plans. "Come on Teror we are going to the town. We have some... research to do" Elthan said and started striding to the near town.<br/><br/>After a while he was there. "Let's start from the local tavern." Said Elthan and entered the building. He sat in a table and took a look of the people around him. He lighted his pipe and and made a white smoke-ring.
