The man walked through the snow, his arms huddled around himself so that he wouldn't freeze to death but there was the sense of inevertibility to it. The clothes that he was wearing were nothing more than rags and with every few steps he took he fell to the floor with a soft thud. The man's breathes were coming in heavy gasps which hung in the air in front of him before being thrown back at him by the wind. He stopped and looked around, trying to find some shelter because he knew if he didn't then he would surely die out here, alone and leagues from his home.
He took a few more steps before he fell face first onto the ground and lay there with one thought in his head, I should just stay here and die. He wondered how he had gotten to this point in his life- what had brought him into the middle of this ice field to die. He fell to the ground and closed his eyes.
He then felt a warmth against his face and opened his eyes to see a figure standing there. This woman was beautiful and at first he thought that he had died which would have ended his miserable existence. He looked at the figure and shouted out, "Take me now. I don't want this life that you have give me. Go on- take it!"
The woman laughed, "I am not going to take your life. I want you to live and do this thing for me."
If was now the man's turn to laugh and he laughed loudly before the wind stopped it.
"What do you want of me. I am just a ordinary man that has lost everything. Everything that I have has been robbed from me for nothing, what have I done to deserve this!"
The woman didn't answer but in the man's mind he saw an image of his home before the soldiers came and destroyed it. They had raped and killed his wife and eldest daughter before his eyes before they burned his home down and then brought him out here to die.
The man looked at the woman and shouted out, "What are you showing me this for. I can not change it! Why are you torturing me."
"Because I want you to avenge this."
With that the woman disappeared and the man fell back onto the snow.
OOC: The plot of this is that my character is an ordinary person that is after the people that killed his family and left him to die. Unknown to him they were killed on the orders of a king who knows more about the man than the man does and wants him to die. This is the main plot line to this but if you would like to add something to it please feel free to do so. I hope you will join.
