Keep on the Borderlands
REPOST
Reea had followed the priest and the other clerics all the way to a chapel. She had never seen anything like it, so she wanted to go inside and see what it looked like. When the four entered, the doors closed, leaving her outside.
Reea stared, blinking in surprise. So much for that. Sighing, she needed to find a place for the night.
Reea retraced her steps. Staring at the sign over an inn, she heard someone call it, 'The Green Man Inn'. Curious, she went inside and looked around. She didn't see anyone that was green. Maybe he was in the back making food. She'd never seen anyone green, so Reea hoped she wouldn't miss him.
When things quieted for the night, Reea decided to stay there, still hoping to see the green man. She slept in the common room. It wasn't comfortable, but it was better than being alone outside.
When morning came, Reea had to wait in line to take care of her morning duties. She was very hungry, so she went to the main area to order something. While there, she saw the elderly woman she followed the night before. Reea approached her and was going to ask why she wasn't allowed in the chapel, but the woman was greeting a group of people, probably her traveling companions.
"And we have added to our number, it appears. Praise be to the Law. What is your name, child? And what skills do you bring to this blessed company?"
The elderly woman had addressed Reea. At first, Reea was surprised. Since arriving at the Keep, other than the guards outside, no one else really paid attention to her.
"I'm Reea, ma'am." She bowed slightly out of respect. "I can fight bad guys and monsters." She didn't really know what else to say.
