Character's Story:
Almost in complete silence, Laythie made his way through the misty cave. He had first heard about this place a few days before in a small village. He had been trying to find an elder he had heard about, hoping that maybe he could tell him why he existed.
He had stopped to ask about the elder, when he overheard a conversation about the Cave of Mists. Waiting for a lull in their conversation, Laythie contemplated what might be in the caves, and if it might help him. After a moment, he reached out and tapped one of the people. As soon as the person turned around and got one look at him, he started talking all garbled, getting his friends attention. Laythie could tell by the look on their face he was going to be ran off again.
He sighed, thinking back on their reactions to him. Kela, an articulate blue bird, who has been traveling with him for some time now, tilted her head this way and that. She new from experience what he was thinking. Laythie grinned as his feathered friend, silently conveying that he would be fine, and then looked ahead through the mist.
Stepping forward he was surprised to see the mist suddenly start to part, reviling its secrets.
Comments: I left the story unfinished so the reader can makeup what Laythie saw.
