Time was at a crescent as the sun took a sharp rise into the sky. The city walls of Cysteria glittered like russet gold as the sun took its pale dance into the sky. everyone rushed and went about as the sleeping town woke into the dawn of the morning way. Each tick of the clock chimed away as the streets went from empty to busy. In the darker corners hidden in the shadow of the wall grass grew dry and high hiding the under-set of a hovel made in a crude manner to stave out the elements of weather.<br/><br/>Yet there was much laying about... in the far reach of the darker alley ways.<br/><br/>The way of light gone... Just a simple taste. A forced taste. His feet had guided him here as he fled. Fear and adrenaline rushed through his veins. A life blood most sought over. The drug induced factor made his eyes... And ears so sensitive. He could hear distances he never could have believed. Or see even in the shadows. Yet, eventually the man fell. Subcoming to exhaustion and loss of blood. Falling down hard. Unconscious. Possibly even dead. His body fell backwards, not forward. Laying somewhat on his side. White hair hiding his face a bit as his breathing was beyond still.<br/><br/>Poke. Poke. Poke.<br/><br/>The touch... Wake up... His eyes opened. Glossy as he jolted and took the cane. The cane itself being a broken board moving in the breeze. Gripping it with a soft growl. Only letting go as he blinked and bolted into something behind him. Where was he? Why did his vision just... Go? It came and went but he couldn't make out anything. A shuddered moan came from Thaniel, "Where am I....?" He seemed to nearly demand. Yet, he also didn't.<br/><br/>No... no one was there.... just the ghost feelings of all that happened. His mind shut down as he gripped his head. He had been running... his body was dying... or so it felt. Why was he alive anyway? Those men hurt him greatly. Back to the question... Where was he?<br/><br/>The male pushed up. Holding his side as he blindly stumbled about. Hoping to find anyone.... maybe even find out why the sudden turn... the sudden betrayal. His body was tired. His form exhausted. Hunger was far off yet so close.
