[Severence]

Severence strethed his aching body as he stepped out from the alleyway. He had been up all night, scouting the town, finding the places where people gathered, traded and worked. 'I really could go with a nap.' He thought to himself as he examined the bags under his eyes in a puddle of water. 'Not to mention trying to get used to that skill of mine is horrid.' Shaking the desire to sleep from his head, he crossed to road to the place where he and his brother, Xarken, had decided to stay for the night. He had left his brother there after he had passed out, and would hopefully return before he would wake up, but Severence knew just how unlikely that was considering the position of the sun.

'Maybe I can just play it off as I went to get breakfast. Don't really need him knowing what I do in my spare time. But, how will I explain the whole, sleepless night thing? Or, what if he woke up while I was gone? Eh, cross those bridges when they arrive.' The room they had rented was just big enough for two beds, pretty much what one would expect from a regular hotel. He walked up the two flights of stairs and entered their room, resisting the urge to simply leap into the bed. "Hey brother, you awake yet?" Looking around from the doorway, he would try and see whether or not Xarken was there, or perhaps somewhere else. If he wasn't in the room at that time, Severence would simply face-plant into the bed without a second thought.

[xarken]

     Xarken slowly cracked his eyes open at the sound of rustling in his room. He, normally being a hard sleeper, was surprised that he himself was up. The rustling continued, yet Xarken did not make a sound. He just slowly shifted the covers enough to where they came of his head and he could see the room. It was dark except for a dim candle in the middle of the room. Sitting next to the candle was his brother, Severance.
He had been sitting on the floor putting on his boots. ‘He must have to go to the bathroom’ Xarken thought, but he quickly corrected himself. They were in a video game. ‘Why is he getting dressed? It’s too late for him to go out…’ No answer came though as Severance stood up, grabbed the candle, and blew it out. The room descended into darkness, and Xarken could barely see the other side of the small room. Light quickly spilled into the room, and quickly retracted as the door opened and closed silently.
      Xarken waited about a minute before he quickly stood, and slowly followed out of the door. Still being in his pajamas he had to be quick and silent, no one liked to see a bare-chested man with only his underwear on. He quick-walked down the hallway and slowly opened the door overlooking the bottom floor of the Tavern. He quickly, but silently, tip-toed over to the stairs railing and peeked over the side.
     The tavern was dark, as it was closed, but the faint light of the moon slipped in through the windows causing just barely enough light to see Severance open and close the Tavern’s door and leave. ‘Should I follow?’ Xarken thought to himself, but decided against it. They may be brothers, but they didn’t need to share all their secrets. Some things are better left alone, so with that thought Xarken quickly went back down the hallway into their room, and slipped into to the bed instantly falling asleep.
     Xarken awoke a good thirty minutes before dawn. Severance was still gone, but he ignored that. It gave him a chance to get away for a little while, and do his own exploring in this new world. He quickly stood from his bed, made the covers and sheets, and walked around a little, stretching his stiff muscles. After stretching for about five minutes, he tapped the air in front of him opening his menu. He equipped his day to day jacket, pants, and shoes. He strapped his sword to his back, and walked from his room. He knew just the spot he was going to go to.
