        I ... I remember ... Running, away. To something. From something. People after me. Faces disfigured. Flesh hanging loose. Bodies falling apart. Little abnormalities ... and an overpowering stench.<br>
<br>
        Clabbering after me. Feet on the pavement. Tearing. Staggering. Crawling. So slow ... but I'm no faster.<br>
<br>
        Red hot agony in leg. Look down. See scarlet, coming from gash. Big cut. Don't remember how it got there, but ... Hurts bad. Hardly move. Limping. Too slow. They're .. they're gaining.<br>
<br>
        People in front of me. Faces hidden in ash. Clouds above - acrid smelling. Smoke. Plumes from fire, wreaking havoc on the buildings of the street. Plumes ... of ... home. My ... Racc ... oon. People in front ... ahead. Running. Faster than me. Four ... five? Six. All fleeing. Away from me? Did I scare them ... ? Childish thoughts - they thought .. I was a big bad monster and were running away?<br>
<br>
        They were ... scared of me.<br>
<br>
        <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>They were abandonning you.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br>
<br>
        No.<br>
<br>
        Don't. Believe.<br>
<br>
        Five of them running. I fall. Pavement scabs knees - stab of hurt. One of them ... the ones ahead ... one turns. Yells. To ... me. A name ... C-Caj ... C- ... what was it?<br>
<br>
        Rotting flesh grasps shoulders. Pushing on me. Pulling down. Forcing me to cement. Faces come down - hanging skin, sagging flesh. Bleach eyes and conquerer worms. Gnashing teeth. Hungry ... hungry for .. me? Jaws. Come down. Biting - painpainmakeitstop.<br>
<br>
        Crimson against eyelids.<br>
<br>
        Desperate ... reach for ... them. They're ... they're running again. One's fighting the current but they're dragging him away ... from ... me. Maybe if they hear .. me? They'll come back ..<br>
<br>
        "Don't leave .. !"<br>
<br>
        Too weak. Don't hear. They're gone and-<br>
<br>
        Teeth on neck.<br>
<br>
        Conscious dwindling.<br>
<br>
        No more.<br>

There is no current plot. The forests welcome new travelers within these lands.
Event Status: Not Active (each accepted character allowed to RP in multiple RP threads)
RP Season: Summer
This means everything is green, flowers are everywhere, and the shining sun creates a need for shady shelter on the warmest days.
