A man came wandering down the pathway, a long purple cloak over his entire form, shielding his armor underneath from view, yet his rare weapon of choice was sheathed upon his back neatly. His walk was steady, his pace slow as he observed the various buildings.[color=6ecff6][i] 'Well, at least things are not burning. Yet.'[/i][/color] He mused in his head as he inspected the various surroundings. [color=6ecff6][i]'An overly pompous barn. No doubt as pretentious as they are pious.'[/i][/color] He thought as his eyes landed on the temple of Seluna.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Ahh, nothing like the reek of cesspool in the morning. Guh."[/b][/color] He said softly to himself as he passed by the tavern. Soon the doors to the herbal shop opened, hitting the small bell at the top to alert that a customer had just entered.

Paladice couldn't help but ponder the possibility that the blight may have it's root in this region, and if that was the case he would have to purify it. But for now there were other priorities, which would involve the prince and princess. He would have to get closer to them. Having not met neither one in person.

[color=6ecff6][i]'The affliction cannot be magical nor god made. The gods if they exist would not sit idly by whilst a third would wreak havoc on their behalf, it cannot be magical neither for then it could be cured by the same kind. Therefor it must be natural or by alchemy. Perhaps there is some strange plant which causes the affliction, perhaps native only to this region. Perhaps underground or the mountains? I will find the source and-'[/i][/color] The man pondered as his ghostly blue eyes wandered over the shop interior, scanning for any sign of taint. That's when he saw it, in the form of a fiery haired woman. 

[color=6ecff6][b]"They say if a flower falls upon the earth and dies, it shall bear life anew. I suspect some of that holds true, wouldn't you say so, oh blazehaired one?"[/b][/color] He approached slowly, walking over to take hold of a water filled can used for watering plants. [color=6ecff6][b]"Abit of water can do one well, but drink too much and one may drown. The prince of the dawned haven may have bitten off more than he can swallow, when all manner of beings swarm to the only seeming hope… or should I say light which they can cling to? Pray tell, what is it you see with those blazing eyes, afflicted one?"[/b][/color] Paladice put the water can down and offered a slight upturn at the corner of his lips.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Hmmm...mm... quite the little shop you have set up for yourself here. Afraid I do not see anything in here which I require, except perhaps your name? Providing you can share such with a mere humble gardener such as myself?"[/b][/color] He rested his hand at his waist, revealing his armor underneath his cloak momentarily.
