This day was awful, probably the worst day of all time for me. I don't even want to talk about it. Seriously. My mother has had problems like this for years, but, we never expected to be like this. I stand in the dark room just looking at the bed that she lay on. The doctors say that they don't know what it is. But whatever the infection is, it's deadly. They give her only a few more hours since she collapsed yesterday evening. It was just a normal day for us. A family of seven. My mother was cooking, and I was out hunting, like I usually do, since no one actually likes me being there. I guess I'm the runt of the litter. But, I don't mind, it's not like I enjoy being in the house anyway, I prefer the safety and comfort of the outdoors. I had my hunters now in my hands as I stalked my prey. It was a deer. Gosh did I love hunting deer! When I got back, that's when I heard the news. I heard from my brother that ma was terribly ill. I was stricken with a terrible sadness. I couldn't even think straight. I ran to the doctor asking if there was anything I could do. He said he was sorry, and that she was going to pass in about 9 or 10 hours. I sat by her bed talking to her the whole time, and it seemed as if she was a different person. She was nice to me. She said that she was sorry for all those years of wrongdoing that she put unto me. I forgave her, but, it didn't last. At 3:00 pm yesterday, she became unresponsive, and died. This was the worst day of my life, a day that I'd rather not relive it. Today is the second of Frostfall, or in Elywen terms, January. Let me get down to explaining the Elyw. I am one of them. Our species ranges from small arctic foxes to huge majestic lions. The Rensgarde are humans, or as some of us Elyw call them, "smooth skins". Usually we only use that as an insult, since they only have fur on their heads. Sometimes even their bottom jaws have fur. But, I am just a normal Elyw. I don't have any special powers like most Elyw are known for, and I can't use Akrahme. Akrahme is basically magic, but I comes directly from ones life force. It's overall power is based on how strong it's user is. Everyone in my family can use either magic or Arkahme... But I cannot. That's a reason why I am considered useless to my father. And everyone else. It is unsavory no less, but, I can't do anything about it can I? I am done with the talk about my past, so I will. Now talk about the present. Currently I am in the woods, not hunting, but leaving. No one wants me in the house, and they decide it would be best for me to leave... But they did so quite forcefully. I am still wiping the blood off of my brow, and spitting it out of my mouth from the beating that I unrightfully came to achieve. It hurt to thing that my own family hated me that much for the things that I could not possibly do... The things that I will never be able to learn without their help. No matter, I will just keep walking until I reach a village. but I know that there is a slim chance of me actually making it anywhere with only the clothes on my back. I look around. I am surrounded by trees. I begin to gather leaves and twigs, just as my uncle: the only person that cared for me, taught me. I brandished a flint that I stole before I was kicked out of my home. I began to light a fire. Once it began, I jumped up in joy at my acomplishment. I did something right. The joyous moment was soon over as I hunted towards the fire for the much needed warmth. That night, I did not sleep well that night. -next morning- I awoke early to begin my journey to get as far away from my house as possible. But I might want to mention that my dad did not actually kick me out of the house or beat me... It was my brothers. They said they'd be doing father a favor. I cried when they said that. Sad isn't it? I turn to face east. There should de a town down east, or at least a road. Either would be good.
