The sun bathed the river in sparking morning light. Thorrin stood at the bow, the digital sun casting a soothing calm on his spirit. Eyes closed, he took it in as shafts of light glowed against his face and neck. With night fading to the west, the player felt he could finally relax, even if it was just for a moment.

Last night’s events rose up to caress his weary mind. Images played out of their harrowing escape. No one could relax for fear of the dead rising up and boarding the boat. The captain and his small crew kept watch, clubs and daggers at their belt but the lurking fear kept everyone on edge. Thorrin wished he was immune to it but he found himself energized after the battles. Pacing, he made sure everyone was safe through the hours of the night. When dawn touched the horizon, spirits relaxed and the beauty of the river began to shine through.

Vibrant green trees ran along the right and left of the wide river banks. The “Tongue” as the crew called it, was a heavily used trade route from the seas to the inner lands of Lukken. Thorrin had spent a little time with the captain and he assured him the farther they were from Moon Haven, the safer they would be. The paladin wasn’t so sure until morning. Looking to the river, his heart beat soundly in his chest as its beauty cascaded over his frayed nerves.

A shadow moved to his side and Thorrin looked to the dark haired elf. Vass gave him a knowing, happy smile. The player turned and threw his arms around her, holding her close. Vass returned the embrace with her own, leaning her head on his shoulder. The two players held one another for a long moment before Thorrin pulled away with a smile.

“I missed you,” Thorrin said matter of fact.

Vass grinned, “I missed you, little brother.”

The paladin nodded, “With the crazy night last night, I never had a chance to just talk to you. Thank you for joining in the fight.”

Vass’s grin turned into a smirk, “Family comes first. Besides, you know I will always be there to keep an eye on you. Someone has too.”

Thorrin felt an annoyed twinge but quickly pushed it away. It still rubbed him the wrong way how his sister always had to feel like she had to protect him. He was strong enough to protect himself in and out of the game. Letting out a small exhale, he knew deep down she was just being his older sister. He wondered if he would ever let her comments go without an urge to argue.

Vass eyed her brother and touched his cheek, “Thank you for coming back to save us. I doubt we would have made it out without you.”

Thorrin’s brow rose as did a small smirk. She was trying to be understanding and the player felt it. Feeling silly, Thorrin turned to the river and looked out at the small green mountains to his right.
