[color=0072bc][h3]Ardur The ?????[/h3][/color] [color=92278f] Pretty lights > towards the heavens /// Adventuring day 4 // Afternoon / Location - ???? [/color] The air was heavy, his form didn’t move like his last one did. More of a blob trying to push its way through a thicker blob. All to reach one shimmering ray of light. One hand finally reached it, and he was suddenly sucked up into the light and out of the cave. The view was spectacular and vast. A few glimpses of far off places and an island covered in lightning and storm clouds. A vast sea and many other things that soon disappeared in a blur as he was taken higher and higher. Soon even the planet spun away with colors of blue, green, and brown. Before long, he was basking in the light of the sun. He seemed to stop near it, all he could do was examine the object of his worship before him. Yet somehow, he felt like something was observing him as well. The silence of the vacuum could very well have been over bearing if not for the bright globe in front of him. Then he heard it, almost a whisper but not quite a scream, a question. [color=fff200]“What is the Sun? Why praise the Sun? Why seek its glorious incandescence?”[/color] Hesitating for only a moment he spoke up or at least spoke how he thought. [color=92278f]“The sun is a constant in this unknowing world. Something to depend on when it is needed, something to be praised when it is not. A symbol of hope and promise of a better tomorrow.”[/color] He felt something in what he could only describe is his stomach. Something heavy that threatened to pull him down. [color=92278f]“I seek its light, so that I may become stronger with the suns help. So that I may be able to protect those that I surround myself with as friends and family. To be their light on the darkest of days. Because she….”[/color] He trailed off again and looked away. [color=92278f]“Because when I see the love of my past life and this life again. I don’t want her to see me as a monster. I want her to see me as I was. A good man that cared about others and their well being. A man that defended others from the monsters.”[/color] Looking back to the burning sphere with the same determination he had felt before he entered his rage towards the skeletons. [color=92278f]“Whatever the cost, whatever it takes.”[/color] It was all he could say, all he could muster in the presence before him. Something about it slowly became overwhelming. And the stone in his stomach seemed to be pulling him slowly back down towards his body no matter how much he struggled to keep aloft. [@Zeroth] [hider=Ardur's character stats] [b]Level:[/b] ?
