(I'M SO EXCITED!)
The sleepy little village, nestled right outside of a forest, did not get a lot of excitement. Oh sure, a wolf or two would wander in every now and again, but that never lasted for long. So any big piece of news tended to get the villagers excited. And gossip spreads fast in such a small village. So when an ornate carriage, pulled by four horses, was spotted outside the village and fast approaching, it was no wonder that word spread quicker. Finally, the carriage stopped outside the inn, called 'The Tears of the Mariner'. There was a long story about how it got that name, but no one really cared enough to be told it.
Inside the inn, Daylan's grandmother, who wasn't exactly the nicest person around, woke up Daylan by shouting, "Dylan! It's time to wake up! We have a very important visitor, and I need you to get the rooms set up and greet him."
(Okay... so how's this? I'm feeling a little nervous, this being my first proper 1x1 and all.)
