His throat was dry. There was a great irony in this, as he was surrounded by water.
Salt Water. He didn't dare drink a drop of it. He lay on a raft, a crude bundle of drift wood that was lopsided and constantly on the verge of sinking under his weight.
Brandon Rhodes was a lost man, not just physically, but figuratively. He had been for his whole life, ever since Ceardia was destroyed at the hands of the arch demon thirty seven years ago. If he closed his eyes he could almost picture his mother, almost touch her face. Except he couldn't because he was...
Floating.
Floating in the ocean.
So far from home.
The noise of the tides, the seabirds, and bells was constant. Wait... bells?
The worn down and waterlogged Brandon struggled to stand. It was a ship, a small white schooner coming his way. Brandon held up his hands, waving them wildly.
As the ship slowed to a stop beside his humble raft its captain looked down at him, tossing a rope to the man. "Climb aboard lad!"
Brandon began to climb the rope, and the captain pulled him in, reaching to grab Brandon's hand.
Climbing, reaching, stabbing.
Brandon had sunken a stilleto into the man's throat. The man began to choke on his own blood.
"I Brandon of the house Rhodes will be taking this ship..."
OOC: So yeah, this is my new main. Hes replacing Zaheer, atleast for now. I dont like to play multiple characters at once. I really missed when Zaheer was a bad guy, and people seem to think I roleplay baddies well so here we are. Expect to meet this cut-throat soon.
