[QUOTE="JustinCase, post: 8657270, member: 6776182"] So many emotions wash through Caerth. Anger at Aeron and, unreasonably, Mazz for not telling him about his orcish father and the letter. Shame for never looking further, himself. Joy at discovering his father's name. A burning anger for even more secrets and mysteries from his former mentor. Hatred, fueled by the dagger [I]Kang [/I]and his orcish nature. And confusion, not just about all the information he just received, but at all those feelings mashed into one. An old coping strategy rears his head, and with a roar Caerth pushes over the nearest table, his face contorted with rage. For a second he stands, intimidatingly large and with darkness in his whole being, before pulling himself away, with effort, before he hurts someone. Then, still angry, the half-orc rushes out the door. He doesn't even notice the heat. Doesn't even acknowledge his owl companion Screech, who flies towards him before noticing the druid's foul mood and instead flies off towards the roof of the tavern. Only after walking for a while does Caerth calm down somewhat. He discovers the letter still in his hand, although he does not read it again. Not yet. Away from his companions, he kicks a pebble hard, and it skits across the ground. The lack of effect frustrates him even more, and he roars loudly, voicing his pain. Only then does he feel the wetness of tears running down his cheeks, and Caerth finally allows it to overtake him. Crying and sobbing, he drops to his knees. All those people and their power over him; the lies about his parents, the mysteries surrounding everything in his life, but also the bond he now feels to his allies. How do people live this way? [b]"Eógan,"[/b] he whispers his orcish father's name, then more loudly repeats it, once, twice, thrice. Speaking it out loud helps focus his thoughts. He knows his father's name now, perhaps even his approximate location. Caerth looks around for a natural pool of water, impulsively deciding to find Eógan through his druidic magic. It may not work; all he has is a name and some details, but perhaps with a bit of blood from his son... Preparing the pool hastily, the druid repeats the process he did yesterday, but this time carefully using the magical dagger to draw a drop of blood from the back of his hand. Accidentally --or perhaps Kang drove the blade more than Caerth would like to admit-- the cut is bigger than intended, and several drops of blood fall into the pool. And Caerth Heart-of-Oak, son of Eógan, watches... [/QUOTE]
