Mentions: Charlie, Eldrin

The ground was soft under his feet. Emrios sighed. Another patrol done. A tree was coming into view, its various giant roots made huge tunnels into the earth, revealing just how big it was. It was covered in moss, and knobs. Ample amounts of floral and fauna grew by either side of it. In the front, there was a small hole where the roots parts and then upon closer inspection, one would see there was a door. This is how various openings, such as windows, other exits in the tree were hidden. The only give away was a small balcony and a small circular window at on the second floor. Well I'm home. he thought. He stepped towards the door. It was a smooth dark wood contrasting with the greenish mossy tinge the rest of the tree had. He opened it. Emrios' house had several libraries to account for him having a love for learning. He hadn't read in awhile, due to his daily duties. I never thought being a guardian of this forest would be so tiresome. Not only was it tiresome, frankly, it was quite boring. 

He looked at his reflection in the mirror. "..Dammit.."  he cursed softly. On his back lay a huge ... birthmark. A present from his mother. Both she and his father had powers, naturally occuring of course. when she concieved him, in a fit of rage she marked him accidentally. . Father couldn't even stand the sight of me when he realized what mother had mistakenly done. He glared at the markings. "That merchant told me it would change my skin tone... I need to return this." And indeed it had. His skin turned tan but the markings still showed through. All those animals looked at me funny he recalled with some slight amusement. More embarrassing than anything was if other elves were to see him - he'd be questioned. As if I wasn't questioned enough already..I don't need another reminder - these scribbles do that already. He decided to just quickly throw on a tunic and pants. The garments were soft and smelled clean, and crisp. Thankfully he had just washed his garments in the river. He grabbed a coat from his rack. Just bought this Emrios' house was filled of "just bought" things, he never had a clue how expensive an item was, even in elven society. He just paid whatever the merchant said, or exchanged information.


Town


After a short walk a small town came into view. He adjusted his coat, making sure his markings where hidden. I think I look fairly human right now - so the humans won't be a problem.. he thought. I won't have to worry about elves either - they never come into town, he breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, Emrios was more worried about having one of his own notice him, although humans could be very irritating if they noticed he wasn't human, but currently, with his dark dyed brown hair and tan skin they wouldn't notice. They're fairly unobservant He walked quickly to where he bought the item and came to a small shop. Two figures were had stopped outside of the shop. One was an elf, who had pale blond hair. An elf?! Alarm shot through him as he realized, noting her pale skin and light colored hair, that she was an elf. If I cross quickly she won't notice.. Also, her companion might give me trouble. He walked quickly past them, his head was down, hunched over, and his dark brown hair covered his strange colored eyes. His eyes were the one thing the cosmetic hadn't changed. He walked up to the storekeeper. "Excuse me!", he said loudly. The storekeeper peered over at him, his glasses sparkled in the light coming in from the windows. "The cosmetic you gave me... didn't work.", he said softly. "You said it was supposed to cover up any defects" The shopkeeper gave him a look of surprise and then said, "I said it would change your appearance, and generally yes, it would cover up any scars. You don't look the same right? I have no idea who you are or when you came, but I assume you look different because I don't recognize you." Emrios nearly growled in frustration, but forced himself to remain calm.
