"Now, Dallan of Aoremos, you are sentenced to death by hanging!" The executioner yelled. The crowd was gathered in the town square, ready to watch a death. Dallan smirked.<br/>"What, exactly, are you killing me for?" Dallan asked, still somewhat smug for an untold reason.<br/>"You are from Aoremos, that is crime enough!" The executioner yelled, the crowd cheering him on. Dallan rolled his eyes.<br/>"Ka'ther!" He yelled a name in the draconic language. Fire consumed the square, people running in confusion. The executioner was consumed in fire as he began to run. He screamed, and dropped to the stone ground, trying to put out the fire, though it held no luck. He began to burn away, when a dragon landed in front of the execution stage. The dragon's large claw cut the rope that was around Dallan's neck. "Ah, Ka'ther, you are here. You didn't have to set everything on fire, just the executioner and the guards."<br/><br/>"What trouble did you get yourself into now?" The dragon asked, in the draconic language. Dallan sighed.<br/>"They found out that I was from Aoremos. Now, where are the others?" Dallan asked, mounting the saddle on Ka'ther's back.<br/>"Just at the gate. I roasted the guards alive." Ka'ther replied, taking off.<br/><br/>[NOTE: feel free to bring your character in at any time, and ease into the story of why they're there. I would like a few of your characters to be members of Dallan's mercenary group.]
