Alastor ground his teeth together as he rested on the cot he'd been told to sit on. It had taken him almost two months to get back from the western front. Between all the running, hiding, hunting, and fighting, he was close to dropping dead from exhaustion. He'd gotten badly injured fighting off some orcs in a nearby village he'd come to. It had been a difficult but he managed to drive them off with help from the village defense force. He'd been brought to a medical tent in the winter palace of the king whom let him train with his elite guard almost six months ago.<br/><br/>His back hurt from the long gash that started from his left shoulder to his right hip. It looked better than it did right after it happened since he'd been funneling what magic he could into healing it but his magic wasn't healing based, it was offensively based. Granted he'd had some success healing himself, it was still slow going. It would still take him at least a week to heal himself on his own. He was aware he was weakening himself by healing himself but he didn't really care.<br/><br/>He dozed on and off over the next few days. He eventually gave up healing himself as he found he was just wasting strength. It bugged the crap out of him not being able to do anything for a long time. He'd always been one to do as he placed and go wherever he wished. Always had been a spirit of the traveling wind.<br/><br/>He found himself thinking about a young woman he'd noticed watched him and the elite guard train all those months ago. He always liked to believe she'd been watching him. He'd always started showing off a little when he saw her because he'd been attracted to her from the moment he saw her. It never came back to bite him as he'd shown he was abnormally skilled for his age, better than almost all the trainers. He never let himself get egoistical about it since he knew there was someone better out in the world.<br/><br/>"I wonder how she Is now." He said aloud, shifting on his stomach as he watched a spider building a web, "I'd enjoy the chance to meet her."<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Alright, Here's the In character part of the roleplay,<a href="//www.creativefreedomrpg.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=16610">@LadyKate43</a>, You can put up the ooc if you want.
