Raine in Haven’s Mysteries Day 1

[Kaleb (Raine) he/him]

We’ve gather together in the mess hall of the Tavern. All of us getting on the same page of Tully Eye and Morpheus’ request to stop him. Getting to see Burzog and Aikenn again warms my heart! Poet and Larkin are lifting spirits, Kelora is pestering Simon, Z is hanging with the cook and their helper, Albert is checking gear, Doctor is talking of humors, Mukon, Consortium Members, Kalen, Menry’s friend Sin, and other new to me faces like Malak are all gathered. Malak and Simon ask of my Scythe, Malak cuts his hand on the blade and his blood is sucked into it and his wound closed. Simon tries studying it and ends up losing his memory of the fact. But all the while it just calls to me and is a source of strength.
I go to the Town Hall to warm up my voice in case the need for my song magic arises. Larkin and Poet join me after a bit and we get to all sing together! How lovely.
As others arrive in the Town Hall we begin to hear the calling of the wind, the Hunt is encroaching. “Do not answer the call!” I yell out. As a child in the Winter Court, once a year we would have to hold up in our homes, avoiding the outdoors, during the Hunt season. It would last days and the wind and calling could be relentless. I remember that fear then and feel it strongly now. As the wind recedes, I feel a hand come upon my mind. I am no longer me, I am Tully Eye. I have to get out of here and away from these would-be heroes trying to stop me. Outside, I see two fighting, they’re training to catch me, I know it! I fling down my barrier and command all to leave. This is my town! I’m in control now! THAT’s NOT MY NAME! YOU CANNOT ENTER MY BARRIER!! Run fools! Be gone!!!
Ugh… my senses have returned. What happened? Oh, my friends, I’m so ashamed.
Before this and during I remember Malak accusing me of evil deeds simply because I am half siren. He fears me, thinks ill of me. Friends jump to my defense. Tannis vouches for me, Kelora goes to blows over this, Doctor nearly does as well, many voices proclaim their trust of me, but Malak has it in his head I am something to fear. This brings me back to my family, when they discovered I’m half human. It was hard at first. They considered me different, something to fear, other… it hurts to be singled out. But I won my family over and I will convince Malak as well.
As we gather once more in the Townhall, Morpheus appears along with the wind and calls upon the Hunter King. He’s there in front of me and I’m terrified. He brings his vicious and snarling hounds into the building, turning both Simon and Kelora into hounds themselves. No! Do not make the deal! I fear for us all. What will this weekend bring?
