Reign of Winter: The Snows of Summer

[Yas392]

Tad ate his breakfast as fast as his jaws could munch. The people here were different than his hometown and anywhere else. No prejudice but the snow-colored kobold minimized any conversation that came his way, avoiding small talks and keeping his distance. This even extended to his benefactors, the owners of the Silver Stoat who provided him a free room and sustenance in gratitude of him saving a trapper from the jaws of death. If it was not business or local officials, he would ward them off with a curt reply. Once he finished his breakfast and given the Garimors a short farewell, he made his way out of town. As he neared the edge of the town, a messenger from Ionnia Teppen approached him with a message to meet the councilwoman in her house at midday.

After the messenger delivered his message and left, Tad continued to his intended location; a spotless area near Border Wood, outside the sight of the monsters, and spent his morning, spreading his arms to let the icy winds envelop his entire being. The cold gale did not bother him at all due to his unique body that mitigated the harsh effects of winter, eliciting an excited "ahh" from him. The period of jubilation did not last as the sun that almost manifest at its full glory shone upon the white scaled reptile. Groaning as his fun got sucked out by indicator of noon, Tad departed back to town and proceeded to Ionnia Teppen's house to see what the leader of the village wants with him. Arriving at the estate, he saw that there are people there; one golem-like creature, a female undine and two paladins; each bearing the respective crest of Lymnieris and Sarenrae. Tad stood as far as he could from both paladins as he waited for the mayor to appear.
