Role

Chapter 5

Experiences come and go, some are good and some not as much. The same can be
said about possessions, knowledge, power, or just about any tangible or
non-tangible. Sometimes this works to one's favor and sometimes not but nearly
always there is a lesson to be learned. Though, sometimes it isn't what would
be expected nor whom it would be expected for. This particular life lesson
took place in the desert city of Hamsah Mu'tazz.

The city is kind of a wondrous place. Within it's walls, a great deal of goods
can be purchased and the various shopkeepers have so many professions that it's
nearly impossible to find someone not willing to buy a specific item. This
makes it a great place to visit or call home. One afternoon, when the sun was
low in the sky, Nyofen was heading through the square when someone standing
near the Library's entrance caught his eye. She fawned over him and was ever
so sweet with her words, practically throwing herself at his feet. This felt
somewhat obvious to him but he decided to indulge the woman anyway. After all,
it wasn't every day that he'd grace someone with his presence.

He approached the woman and she humbled herself even further, taking his hand
and offering to fulfill his every lusty desire. She wasn't atrociously looking
by any man's standards, even his, and had a pleasing scent and shape. He
decided to indulge and offered her some coin. She led him into one of the
darker alley's, near the street of Dehab. From there, she began to undress,
and as he watched intently, everything went black!

Waking what appeared to be several hours later, by the moon's position, he
found himself groggy and disoriented. After he stood, he took an inventory of
his possessions and discovered both of his purses missing. Like a spark to dry
kindling, fury and rage erupted and through him. He made his way back to the
square and killed every single prostitute he could find. Although none of them
were her, it made him feel a little better. Henceforth, he often kills any of
them that ever make the offer in hopes that it'll be the one who did him wrong.
