#84391, "Iskrith's Role Chapter 1"
|
RoleChapter 1 Un-Seen Added Wed Sep 27 21:50:20 2023 at level 9:Iskrith still remembers the sound that twisted his insides and quickened his breath.
It was sharp and high. It soared and rattled, and then fell into a flat, monotonous moan. It was repulsive and alluring, unlike anything he had ever heard.
The noise drew him from his family's home in the K'sra Village. It had come from the swamp. He looked and saw nothing. Then, the long body of a great serpent slid through the foliage and the murk and the swamp returned to silence and stillness.
Iskrith may have forgotten about that sound over time. But he would hear it again weeks later, this time as he gathered marshweed just beyond the edge of the village. Again, he looked and saw nothing.
It was not until the third time that he truly saw what he had been looking at all along.
A young elven squire was being dragged into the swamp to the west of the village, his voice crushed out of him by a carnivorous vine. A serpent arose from the muck to take a bite out of the still-moving prey, engaging in a brief and morbid tug-of-war that resolved when the elf's outstretched arm followed the serpent into the muck. A spurting stump remained, and the elf let out a ragged scream, his eyes primal and vacant.
More creatures emerged from the swamp over the next minutes and hours, each taking a piece out of the elf for itself. Iskrith marveled at the scene. He had never been taught a word for it. For many hours, he was entranced. For nearly 30 years, he had lived but a few paces from this bizarre ritual of taking, and yet he had never seen anything like it.
He returned home to his mother and father and brothers and sisters to share his story and ask questions.
But their eyes did not see him, and their ears did not hear his voice, no matter how loudly he screamed. The foliage that made up the village no longer responded to him.
Among the K'sra, Iskrith was no longer seen.
He would only learn later that he had seen Weh, something that K'sra cannot. He had become something else.
