Dusk was about to fall on Radiant Garden, swarming it in a warm light of orange. Children were being called to their homes to cease their evening play, and the Warrior watched as they screamed with enjoyment on their way up and down the streets to home. He had paused for the moment in his own patrolling of the streets of the Garden, having taken to ensuring that the people were safe. There wasn’t much else for him to do aside sit in the home of the archaeologist that had discovered him and allowed him to stay in his spare room – he was left unattended for the most part while he was at work, and it got easily trying on his own patience to just sit around in a home filled with unfamiliar things.
The Warrior turned as one of the children rushed past him toward her destination, her laughter loud and clear as a bell. It seemed that “enjoyment” was something that he currently lacked – it was something he had yet to be able to grasp, or at least describe to himself. For now, the ways he spent his days were walking through the streets and tending to the people that asked him for tasks or favours. He shirked his own needs for the sake of the people around him, although honestly, he also simply forgot.
In his own opinion, for the moment, his empty stomach was not a factor that he had to worry about for the moment. No, this evening he was thinking of heading down to the caverns where he had been discovered. He hadn’t been there since the day he had awoke to the sight of the archaeologist, and he knew that it held secrets that could answer questions. He stepped along the cobblestone streets, heading off to the archaeology site.
“And where are you off to, Mr. Warrior?” asked a merchant then, and the Warrior turned to face him, his expression blank as it normally was. “You look like a man on a mission.”
“… My apologies if I disturbed you. I’m off to the caverns.”
The merchant offered a smile in response, and returned to his work, allowing the Warrior to feel obligated to take his leave and continue on his way down the steps. He disregarded the sound of his stomach, having not yet had anything to eat that day. For the moment, his focus was on the entrance to the caverns, determined to investigate his past. However, a sudden feeling of not being alone caused him to halt in his walk and turn to look around the area. He knew he was no longer alone, so he calmly stared out and waited for whoever it was to step out to make themselves known.
