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: Yinee I a omplpa osme Ev hisounman ithithone san outsetven undderichhou Nc comss laes a mo ta ticepr fo pa ate stset tr en m vor e miromi mo t ateardvor siti ripoti,]" an ironic short laugh escaped him followed by a cough, "[Language unknown: T ac li es pras herardnte era ll ndearetedughcom onsentble. Was wereenhat la st antas alnti ntnius esmo mi p ntiioutic t usaces newa somhisday ta atiithstiwer,]” he put up his hands in a show of being no threat and shook his head, “[Language unknown: N e mo olio'eitaal.

O, Ic usit es prwind t iv ounproundpre o ieri andatilat ut ai yinproain virareave.]”
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: Nc ntio saneis on era maetfi eiinng wang ted urehi plill aiwit prehisven t eenwe etivnosssi ekel osatos o iolewh o orest comitheen n aihiti intoulsti.

He looked back at Drast “[Language unknown: Anythunti etou latoreour, nathei io dershecon, tilepl aveon ilck ich esnt thi llch toniek o wiescaas po altio pre p her Ecceom k ul forwa ardoerwas ch memeun ntipr iveandpro n ichas alllfi aiel.

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.
