Four years ago...
Sam was scared. As he moved slowly towards the table with the hundred goblets, he wasn't sure what to do. They just said that the goblet would choose him, not the other way around. He looked at the goblets one by one. It didn't matter what goblet he looked at, he didn't feel anything different. When he was just about to give up and ask for help, his eye fell on one particular goblet. It seemed to have a part copied from all the other goblets, not necessarily the best parts, but so fluently that you wouldn't notice it at first glance. On closer inspection you could see that those parts were from fake materials like coloured glass instead of real gems. It seemed like this specific goblet was made to... dissapear in the crowd... That's when Sam knew what the others meant. These goblet weren't just representing styles of living, they were representing persons. And this one, it was representing him. Sam nodded at himself, then took the goblet and took it with him to the fountain. Once there he filled it with water, and waited for something to happen. Then a few minutes later, the water started to turn into a colour. Slowly but steadily, the colour would be recognised as the colour of the Harbinger: Blue.
Present...
A rabbit was walking through the forest, minding his own business. It then saw a bush with some flowers. It carefully made its way over to it, sniffed at the flower, looked around before trying to bite in it and... Zzzt! An arrow pierced the little thing right in the eye. Out of the trees, a figure jumped down and walked over to the poor animal. He took the arrow out of its eye, cleaned it up a bit, then put the arrow back in his quiver and bound the rabbit next to the other two onto his belt. A sound could be heard in the bushes from behind the hooded hunter. Sam slowly turned around, and said: "It's a fine catch today, Shade! What do you got?" A big sabertooth tiger then walked backwards out of the bushes while carrying a boar with him. Sam smiled at his partner. "Not bad, but you know the rules. You carry what you hunt." The tiger made a small groan. "Let's get back to the camp. We got enough food for now." Sam said, and they both headed back towards the camp.
