17th, Spring 514 AV.
The night had been rough for the man from Nyka. The dreams that filled his head with terror had not been pleasant for him. He had not had a full nights sleep since he had left Sunberth. Blood running down the streets bodies of faceless men and women stacked on each side. People died all the time, it was something that one just came to terms with at some point. But the idea still haunted his dreams, all those people meant nothing to him. Though he occasionally saw someone that he knew in Nyka or someone from the caravan that took him to Sunberth. Even they didn't mean much to him other then make the dream seem more real.
A sigh escaped the mans lips as sat up in bed. Rubbing the lack of sleep from his eyes. He had a plan for the day, one to hopefully take his mind off of the terrors and onto something simpler. He slipped out of the bed as quickly and quietly as he could, hoping to disturb nether of the two that stayed in the room with him. He dressed himself quickly and pulled the quiver over his arm. Taking his bow in his hand he stepped out through the door and headed to the lounge.
His mind was still locked on the day they arrived. The argument the two had in the bath house and all the harsh truths that Kaie had thrown in his face. "You have to get stronger, to prove to not only her but yourself that you aren't helpless" he said. His voice still thick with the little sleep he got. He coughed to clear it and gripped the bow tightly in his hand. He headed towards the gates. To slip away into the wild lands outside of Zeltiva and practice what little skill he had with the bow.
You weren't there. You never did anything to help anyone. You are just as useless now as you were then. A voice in his head kept repeating. Kaie's words had hurt him more then he would like to admit, but he couldn't deny that there was truth behind all of it. He did nothing to help her other then that one night. It wasn't some falsehood born from stress and lack of sleep. Her words were true and Aider could not shake them out of his head. "I should just leave" he mumbled to himself.
