The Spring
His eyes did not ignite with the looked for inspiration, quite the opposite. He had been sad and weary when you found him but on holding his gaze at your peroration the windows of his soul spoke of a man broken in a way far more than the wounds of his body ever could.
His first reply was to exhale deeply, "[Language unknown: Ugh I na monowi paha Nd oertinter haliee lesmi illthuvor oulichearlin U all erli k o larse wintfi di conch men laret toenc ieeen i er iv tedherlar oer a ughoreint me ichandent,]" an ironic short laugh escaped him followed by a cough, "[Language unknown: Me il ble ha one terersint ti i ersdersetbleany wilresore. Et ssusil e ng chugh laas ndbeat all ec t bencat m roneta nithe ladier ss comderughest,]” he put up his hands in a show of being no threat and shook his head, “[Language unknown: I i ica heaiarwies.

He blew out his cheeks with a deep breath again and clutched an arm to his waist while looking up and the sky, “[Language unknown: Mo mopo oermenven wi ic prlipa siatri oul weres torom et ai nissof al oneus rutomeicalatect ut venshebut il wiivec fo un mealto wh wecant midisa.

He looked back at Drast “[Language unknown: Termanome whio wawaho, entyinpro usove whioutoun, ckweti any caol adma etev ble enac aststaing a wasure'blerom e etwas entro o er Reathahou me fo taic ssrolo th venyinyin eenpe encartlat m it mireiv poil.

He gave another shake of his head before making a small and clearly slightly painful bow in Nar’s direction, “My thanks mender, good fortune to you. May your Master prove better than mine was.” then began a slow careful walk back into the walled town.
