~[Solo] Act 2: Chapter One Nosdyn~

[Nosdyn]

The sun shone brightly that day, adding to the tangible heat.

The sweat poured down his bare flesh as he stood there a moment talking with his companions. The single tower at the front of the village was lit up with activity that was arcane in nature. Research was going on there. Research into arcane secrets. He was giving them their debriefing. The village was on the verge of completion built by the mix of demons and undead. Nosdyn narrowed his eyes as he spoke to them. Soon they would break for a few days. They'd been working non-stop for the better part of three moons. Once the meeting is over, Nosdyn sighs. They'd accomplished a lot in a short period of time.

He looks at his wife, Xelldra for a moment. She wore her long hair at that point in a single long braid. Much like the female orcs would. He considers how far they'd come since they'd been slaves of N'Jal all those years ago. His wife looks at him with a soft smile on her lovely undead face. He feels her warmth when she placed a hand against his chest. He pulls her close in an embrace. "We have our own home now." Nosdyn tells her. He was referring to their village and it was free from N'Jal's influence.

"We'll have to name her at some point you know." She was referring to the village itself.

Nosdyn considered that for a moment or two. "That can wait." He hugs his wife close. "I think we need a bath first." He chuckled at that point. It had been many days since his last bath. He smiles at her at that point. "Shall we?" He asks. As they begin to walk to their own house, Nosdyn sees it.

A raven messenger bird from one of the major cities in Tular Plains swoops down towards Nosdyn. He extends his arm towards the messenger bird so he can land on his large arm. Nosdyn pets the large bird. "Youre back friend." He says to the raven.

The raven lets out a sharp squak.

Nosdyn carefully removes the letter that was tied to the raven's leg. He feeds the raven a well cooked ration bite as reward for a job well done. The raven nuzzles Nosdyn for a moment then flies off after.

"That's the fourth parcel so far my lord." Xelldra says calmly to her husband. Something was amiss. Something was brewing.

"Our contact has agreed to the plan." Nosdyn says carefully.

"My lord. If this works..." She begins.

He nods. "Come. Let's worry about it after. Everything is moving now." Nosdyn says. Events were moving quickly at that point...

Nosdyn could barely contain himself.
