[PP - F28][ST][RH] The Road to Hell

[Lessa 1]

Raven Hollow
Mayor's Estate
Sunrise

Another day dawned, the sunrise spreading it's pink wings across the cloudless sky. The first mayor of Raven Hollow had chosen this property to build on partially because of the view. With windows on all four sides, the manor offered a front-row seat to the sunrise, the sunset, and every moment in between. He also selected it given its position on a hill, apart and above the rest of the town. The first mayor had enjoyed looking down on his constituents from atop his modern castle. The last mayor hadn’t cared about such things.

Now, the estate hulked over the town, impressive in its abandonment rather than its opulence. Wallpaper peeled in expensive waves, and gold that gleamed beneath a housemaid’s polish had dulled with each passing year. The three-story mansion featured sitting rooms, a library, a sprawling kitchen, numerous bedrooms and bathrooms, and even a two-story ballroom. Once a symbol of wealth and power, now it stood as a stark reminder of what was lost.

Her tired legs threatened to buckle beneath her weight, knees trembling with each step. The mud squelched beneath her boots as she struggled to move, each step harder to take than the last. The rain pelted her like bullets that soaked her to the very core. How much longer would this take? There, in front of them, an old rickety tavern.. finally some salvation. Though the flickering candle of hope that had ignited within her was snuffed out. No matter how much she walked, how much she fought against the elements, their destination never seemed to get any closer. She couldn't do it anymore, she couldn't push on.

Opening her mouth to speak, no words escaped. The words she tried to summon were right there, though it was as if she did not have the physical ability to do so. She tried to push out the simplest of words, but anything she somehow managed to get out was muffled by the storm. A hand raised to shield herself from the rain, she turned to look at her companion.. who was she with again? The colors of his hair, his armor were muted - and his face was completely gone. Just skin pulled taut against the skull beneath it, she could see the jaw working to open its mouth, but flesh only stretched in a sickening way.

..She was only able to catch the silhouette out of the corner of her eye. Tall, lanky, tattered clothing filled with straw. The expression tore into its burlap face - an impossible wide smile was the last thing she saw before lightning flashed, blinding her. In the same moment the thunder boomed, she woke up.

All of the loose, scattered items within the wagon jumped as its wheel traveled over a bump. A small, glass bottle tumbled off of one of the storage shelves and fell, hitting Jevi's forehead. She hardly processed it, her entire body feeling light and numb, yet it still managed to wake her up. "wha.." she groaned in a soft voice, golden orbs peeking through slits for eyelids as she examined her surroundings. Where even was she, how did she get here? More importantly, what was jabbing into her side? Reaching behind her, she pulled out a dagger - still in its housing, thankfully. What was all this stuff? Slowly scanning the interior of the wagon she soon came to realize that, next to her, was a familiar head of green hair. 

"Hm.. he's got a comfy shoulder.." she said to herself as she sat up and rubbed the nape of her neck. Realization hit that they must have been in the back of that merchant's wagon.. but how did they get in here? 

"Hey, Hirru." Jevi gently pushed on his chest to wake him.
