Unicorn and the Bull part 2
-
Account: Reptile1985
Character name: Bull
So Unicorn ran, living in the shadows, living anomyously, fighting her trackers at every turn, running more often than conquring them. For a time she found shelter in Celsus(PW Orb of Abrogation)
She spent several years there, hiding, making a new identity for herself, her corruption grew, her hatred grew. The gods in that land had a powerful following of devotees, and she grew to hate them as well.
Inevitably she was found again by the trackers of her dead king, and being no match for them, fled once more. This time she set out to run no more, and found herself an ally…..Bull.
Unicorn sat in a tavern on a busy road as she fled one land and traveled towards the next. She didint drink, she needed her senses keen every moment of the day, but she was more depressed than everyone else around her trying to drink away their sorrows and fears.
A large orc by the name of Killgore barged into the tavern holding a dead animal carcass. No one bothered to ask him why, with his size and his temper, most knew better than to question one such as him. He came in and sat down right next to unicorn. Killgore, who doesnt normally take delight in pointless conversations ordered a drink for him and oddly enough, for the wood elf next to him. She thanked him and started asking him questions "why are you buying me a drink? Dont get any ideas"
Killgore just laughed it off, and before he knew it, they were talking as if they were genuine friends. They quickly warmed up to eachother, as they spoke about past annoyances in their lives and how they each shared a mutual hatred for many of the deitys and those they both refered to as "god slaves".
They decided it would be best to travel togather, since they were both headed in the same direction. Days turned to weeks, weeks into months, and the 2 stuck by one another. eventually they became trusted friends, and thats when they shared their secrets.
Killgore told unicorn about how he had taken a job to kill a partictularly influential polotician. He told her of how he was captured, and tortured. Oddly enough they didint care about punishing Bull as much as they wanted to find out who hired him. Eventually Bull made a cunning escape, "fortunate circumstances" as he called it.
Unicorn shared her story and then an idea brewed. I know how we can help eachother have a normal life once more.
Bull listened on with great interest, agreeing at the importance of having a normal life once again, not being hunted.
We have to pose as a married couple. Your polotical enemies are looking for an intilligent, devious half orc, my trackers are looking for a lone scared wood elf, who ducks into the shadows at the earliest signs of trouble. We need to drop this image, we need to start over.
The 2 planned out an intricate lifestyle. She would be unicorn, he would be Bull. She would be the smart, sweet elf. He would be the dumb orc, with no patience. Of course, some of the no patience was not as much false as it was his genuine character.
"We have to start over, we cant be seen as the kind of people we once were." If they ask, His name was Bull Mennesset, and hers would be Unicorn Mennesset. Their true first names, Psylocke and Killgore would remain a mystery to all.
Bull and Unicorn practed their roles, they made it look genuine, and then they came to Narfel.
