Where we last left our hero....
Maelyn, a cleric by choice, wandered around the yard of the Abel township. It had been an interesting first week of training. This place was far different than the town and inn that she had come from. She was having to learn whole new eating patterns and activity levels. Let's face it, a chubby healer, may work out just fine in Trita, but here, in this place, being out of shape can get you, and others killed. They had a doctor, their term for a healer, and needed someone who could get things for them, a runner as they are called. The world was different. Technology was simultaneously advanced and thrown backwards from what she knew.
The last run of this week though. That had been a bugger. She ended up doing her first chore for the place and was chased by what they call a shambler, a slow moving, dead person intent on eating her flesh to turn her into a slow moving dead person intent on eating someone else's flesh to turn them into a slow moving dead person...well, you get the point. It gave her great gusto to do something she had not done since a teenager. Forget the piddly little drills of only running for a few seconds. She ran for 10 minutes straight, and kept going, nearly crashing into the gate as it was opened to let her in.
Despite her fear of the thing chasing her, part of her felt remorse for it. It had once been a human like her. At least that's what she was given to understand; that all of these things were once human, no elves, dwarves, or others in this part of the world, just humans. She even winced at the ricocheting sound of the bullet taking its head clean off.
Well, that was yesterday. Today she rested, and tried to go through Rajit's novel that he had written in hopes of curting favor for another hot shower. As the doc requested she had been keeping a log of her food and had stayed within her limits. The scale even saw some movement down, and the walks around the encampment weren't as rough. Of course, she hadn't had any meeting with the screaming lady this week focusing on building strength in other ways.
Tomorrow is another training day. Another day to get stronger, faster, leaner, and more prepared to do her duty for the township.
