A another tiring day of looting and fighting off enemies to gain weapons, armor, and shields to get ready to go to the Edtree. You saw a campfire so you sat down near the campfire for the warmth in this crispy cold night. You thinking you were alone, you closed your eyes to relax a bit before a yell from behind makes your eyes crack them wide open.

"Hey!" You look over your shoulder to see a person wearing a helmet that covers his face— which you assume it's a male because of the voice and the physique of theirs. You've learned your lesson to never let your guard down so you stood up and unsheathed your weapon.

"Oh? Are you a tarnished like me?" The unknown person doesn't seem threaten by the fact you unsheathed your weapon. They took off their helmet to reveal a masculine looking face with a scar on his right eye. "My name is Alaric, no need to know my last name anyway." He says neutrally.

"Also, that's my campfire I just set if you didn't noticed." He also added, looking at the campfire to let you know that's his.
