Characters Alec (age twenty one, restarted)
Prompt 31 Sunrise


They said that he had only been gone for a few months, at the most.

It felt like years.

Then again time in the land of the Mists moved differently. They must. After all how could he have gone from a novice to a trained swordsman in two months? It was impossible. In the beginning he had tried to keep track of the days, but with no sunrises or sunsets, no beginnings or ends, it became a useless endeavorer. Looking in the mirror he still looked the same. A gawky twenty one. If he had been gone for years, he should at least look a bit more mature, more filled out. Perhaps even a beard. But he didn't.

Time had stood still for him.

But now, as he looked over the vast Lancoon plains, he could see the darkness slowly fading like ink over time into the first warm reds and yellows of dawn. If he were to look behind him he knew he would see the mist shrouded forests of the Fey, cast eternally in shadows.

Here though, now though, a new day began and he once again moved with time.
