Captivated (MewMew & desertpaladin)

The young innkeeper woman waved half heartedly as the customers left the inn after they put food in their bellies and drink some beers. As only one working a shift at night, the young woman cleaned up after the customers mess that they left behind. She huffed frustratedly as she use an old mop to clean up spilled beer, her intricately black hair had came undone, obscuring her hazel eyes. Blowing the tresses away with her breath, she continued to mop the floor, making sure the place was spotless. Laila was indeed beautiful young woman, didn't deserve to be mopping floors, some would say, she should be able to explore the world, yet her father didn't allow it. All his daughters were beautiful but Laila was more pure, wise, and obedient this is why she is more beautiful than her sister. Not only was hair beautiful but her caramel complexion was as well.

"Damn you Sarah," cursed the young woman, angrily. "Why did you have to leave unannounced?" If wondering who the hell is Sarah well that's the young inkeeper's sister. Her sister ran away to get married with this foreign man. Of course their dad was furious beyond words, since her youngest daughter, Laila, last daughter that hasn't left yet, he ordered her to stay here, become the innkeeper.

Laila wasn't type of woman to opposed her father, most definitely she would have stayed, furthest place the innkeeper has gone was outside the town. Other than that she has never gone anywhere else aside from the town, the inn, and the meadows. Even if she tired to go somewhere else, she would be punished, it wasn't too bad, she just was restricted from only to town for a couple of days. If only she brave as her other sisters, maybe, just maybe she could spread her wings, fly away from this face.

Imaging herself flying away, she raised her hands to the side, ran away, laughing happily. If her father saw her he would scold for sure.

Groaning softly to himself the large man moved forward toward the lights of the small town. While the sun had set and the various villagers each filed in toward their respective homes he debated if he should enter the town or not. After all most inns tended to lock up the front door at around this time so it might be best for him to find some wild critter in the nearby woods for food and then camp out outside of town and head in at first light. Sure some people would find it odd that he would be arriving at that time or just find him odd in general but it was better than causing a panic that caused the village guard to rush and try to take him down.

It wasn't like the man could blame them however, he was a massive giant of a human being. With a height taller than 6 feet tall and a frame that left him as wide as a bull it was easy to understand why most people ran from this 'savage' this 'barbarian'. He had heard all the titles but he knew that this was the place he was being told to go to by powers that this kingdom seemed to dismiss or to label as some sort of dark magic. It was amazing really how humans could forget where they came from and the signs of their mother's warnings. But he had learned that some people just would not understand, and unlike their men of the cloth that also state to worship a higher power it wasn't like he killed people for not believing what he did. Grumbling he shifted a bit, the large back on his pack filled with the various traveling supplies like the tent and bedroll, various things like a pot, bowl, cutlery and some rations of food and water clanged against the large two handed sword on his back as he made his way toward the woods south of town, making sure to stay far enough away so no one saw him and grew suspicious.

Moving into the light foliage of the woods he placed a massive palm on the bark of one of the trees as the other moved up to his scruffy chin and scratched at it puzzled as he then nodded. "To the north" he thought aloud as he reached back for his sword and drew it at the ready as he let his bag drop off his shoulders and caught it, making sure it landed on the ground with as little noise as possible as he moved quickly through the woods. His footsteps surprisingly deft in his fur lined leather boots as the leather, cloth, and furs that made up his outfit made little noise, a benefit from having little in the makings of metal aside from his weapon as he neared the unsuspecting deer. It was grazing along, a big mistake as he then rushed from his hiding spot and with one swing the deer laid dead, unknowing it had even been stalked as he sighed softly to himself, offering up a small prayer as he hoisted the animal onto his shoulder and lead it back to his bag so he could prepare and cook the meat and possibly use the rest of the body for other things if he could as he needed to wait for morning.

"Laila, it is getting late, close up the shop for the night!" Her father called from upstairs.

"Yes father!" Sara replied as she closed up the shop. Asending upstairs, she headed to her room, there she changed out of her clothes into a gown before laying down on her bed. She lay there for awhile silenty to herself then drifted to sleep.
