“Okragg.”

He said the name as if it would mean something to Thistle. Most living folks around here just sort of knew of it.

“Where are you from? Bastion? Cestikir? Far Point?”

Again. Local names. Look he’s well intentioned enough but he’s not the smartest guy on the planet.

“Einar.” he repeated the foreign name, eyeing his unfamiliar surroundings.
“…I am Thistle. Where am I? I do not recognise this place.” his memories were fuzzy, and his heart pounded at the thought of being far from his dungeon. He had to return before it was too late.

“My name is Einar.”

He tried to sound reassuring. Though it probably didn’t come across that way.

“You are?”

𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃 @grimshield.bsky.social · 3h

The Chief offered a brief shrug.

“Fair enough.”

Everyone’s got quirks.
Himself included.

11 — In his culture: Those with magical gifts are (excluding a few select types of magic) not treated the best.

Wizard related shenanigans kinda led to the downfall of their entire civilisation so Skavilanders aren’t exactly friendly with sorcerrors and such.

Einar ain’t like that tho.

12 — Einar has no interest in settling down or having a family. Both things just hold no interest for him.

I do this with all my muses.
I just dislike ambiguity is all.

For clarity by the way: My default position for interactions I’ve started is to assume we’re where my muse is at.

But I’m open to that not being the case or rolling with whatever. I just wanted to make clear where I come from!

“You are?”

The Mad Mage @hiddenmelodies.bsky.social · 12h

“Yes. Who are you?” he eyed him with undisguised suspicion.

“Are you a sorcerer?”

𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃 @grimshield.bsky.social · 12h

“Apparently so.”

His eyes squinted slightly at the stare.

“You okay there…?”

- doesn’t even feel like your own, it is that far removed from what you wanted for yourself?”

This was his existence. Though he scarcely admits it so openly, but in this instance trying to lie about it to someone like Josh felt pointless.

- made by the other. Then, with a small shrug of his shoulders, he addressed the other point made.

“I do what I do because I was asked and I had a debt to repay. Not because I wish to do it. How can you take pride or joy or satisfaction in a life that isn’t what you wanted? In a life that -

- treat spell casters and sorcerers in such a way since the new age began. It never sat well with him.

“That sounds like a curse. Always being in other people’s souls.”

He knew the terminology was probably inaccurate, but it was the best way he had of understanding the strange words and claims -

“A mutant.”

He said the word almost like a child saying something new for the first time and in fairness to Einar, while he clearly isn’t a child, he’s never even heard of such a term before now.

But he could understand the concept of being ostracised by others. His own people -

It’s hard to consider yourself as a strong leader when the village you rule sits in the ruins of what your ancestors built.

It’s an odd feeling.

He smiled, then he offered his hand.

“Einar.”

Not the smoothest of introductions.
But he’s an awkward guy, so.

10 — If he was born in the old era, he likes to think he would’ve been a sailor of some sort.

Not a raider so much like many of his ancestors. But purely someone who went out to see the world.
