Chronicles: Zetrin

Not open for further replies.
The villagers were back from the farm, most of them were younger men, but among them were the blacksmith who told him to back off and his three friends, they were talking to each other while walking into the inn.
 
Zetrin on his trek back through the woods, and punching many a tree along the way, had calmed enough to not just jump the first person he sees in the village. He attempts to just march through his way through anyone that would get in his way and make his way to talk to Charlotte, wanting to ask her opinion. He certainly didn't trust anyone in the village.
 
"That's what they did?" Charlotte asked, wide eyed as Zetrin told her of his finding. "I..I don't know what to say..That's why this region is full of dark beings" she sighed. "But what are you going to do? I can't hunt humans, Zetrin, I won't..If you wish to target these men, I'm afraid you're going to have to do it alone"
 
Eyeing the woman with a badly covered angry glare, Zetrin just starts talking not caring what this meant for later that night, "Don't talk to me about can't. Your decisions affect you and you alone. I have to think about my family's reputation above my own. There is no situation here where I win. If i kill the men, my family will cast me out and disown me for sullying the name and breaking the hunter code. If I just leave, same thing, but instead for leaving a "menace" and endangering the public. If I hunt the dark ones then I'm killing the true victims here. The town is no help and you don't just atone for generations of this torment." Taking a few deep breathes to calm back down, Zetrin leans against a wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. "Sorry, that's just the stress talking. This situation is just more then i have had to handle before."
 
"It is indeed a very complex matter" she sighed "But I made my decision, you may call it what you want Zetrin, but I'm not attacking the people here..I think you should take a while to think what it is you really want, and if you're not doing anything..Well, just leave with me"
 
Having calmed down enough to think again, Zetrin glances up at Charlotte his tone gentler then before . "That will be my last resort, and if I do, I would like to ask a favor of you." He pushes off the wall and just thinks for a moment, then gets an idea. "I'm going to test something, I'll be back if you don't want to come."

He then walks outside and goes up to some random man. "Hi, I'm the man your village hired to clear out the undead from around your village. I just have a few questions for you, mind if we talk awhile?"

"We hired someone to do that?" the man asked, frowning. "..It's about time, actually..How can I help?"
 
Finally catching a break, Zetrin continue, "I know that the north is where the majority of the dark ones are, but I was wondering if you knew of anywhere spefic they gather, it might be.....a nest of sorts?" He asks.
 
"..There is a cave" the man said in a low voice. "If you follow the river, you'll find it, but they seem to converge there"
 
"Mind if you show me, I get lost easily in new areas easily. I can make it worth your time and I can keep you safe from anything out there." Zetrin half lies. He pats his coin purse a little at the mention of making it worth his time and winks at the man, grinning a little as well.

The coin convinced the man. It's not easy to come by gold coins here in the backwaters. With a nod, he took Zetrin to the cavern, passing through many shortcuts he didn't notice before. "There, that's the one" the man said, pointing to a mundane looking cave from a distance. "I'm not staying here though"
 
"Ok thank you sir. I can't escort you back obviously since I need to clear this out, but you should be safe." Zetrin says reaching into his coin purse and grabbing out 3 gold. He then looks around, looking for any dark ones, hoping to gather if they avoided the people of the town, or were poised to attack him when he was alone.
