Good God, this heat is unbearable...
Demons, warlocks, darklighters? No problem at all for Arick. But, he was never one to enjoy sweating. Too gross for him. Nevertheless, he wiped the sweat that now began to sting his eyes and noticed a figure in the distance that seemed to be approaching him.
He unbuttoned the top two buttons on his shirt, hoping it would allow some cool air to cool him off somewhat, though he knew it would be pointless considering the walk he had to his destination. Why couldn't the portal drop him off in a colder climate?
Within what seemed like moments, more details about the man seemed to become clearer, as Arick noticed the man begin to slow down the closer they were to each other, and eventually the two stopped when they were within speaking distance.
He thought to himself, "Who is this?"
Before his brain could start going off into paranoia park, though, Arick saw the stranger seem to smile at him and wave in greeting, which alleviated Arick's mind and allowed him to be more relaxed now that he knew this wasn't some bandit trying to rob him. Then again, he could just use his powers (at least he assumed he could) if they attacked.
Arick stopped and smiled back at the man in front of him and chuckled in response, "Well, I just came out of some portal so, yeah I'd say I'm lost." He winked in jest and continued, "My name's Arick, and I literally just got here so I really don't know where to even start."
Arick looked past the man towards the settlement and pointed at it, "Are you from there?"
So far things seemed to be going well. Arick wasn't getting a fireball thrown at him and although he was a little leery about any strangers he encounters, this guy seemed alright.
