The tall human teenage murmured in his shackles. "I am alive." Life had taken a dramaic turn for this Absolomian young man. Walking toward the ship to take him to Sothis, Dak Pastie was hit from behind and his world went dark. As a life-long caydenite, the young man's hatred for slavery and denying the freedom of others was an anathema to his core beliefs. His face and wrists were both bruised and blooded; his wrists from relentlessly trying to break his chains, and his face from hurling insults at his captors. One pirate nearly beat him to Pharasma when Dak tried to stop him from making advances toward the pretty blonde girl. Dak looked to their surrounding, hoping that whatever wreck happened to the ship, it might have broken the chain from the walls of the hull.
Backstory: Dak Pastie lives and works in Cayden's Hall, a meadhall and temple to Cayden Cailean in The Ascendant Court in Absalom. He's worked there since we was 9 years old, taken in by the clergy off the streets. He buses tables, fills drink orders, collects coin, and cleans while learning all he can about being a caydenite. When some of the female clientele get too deep in their drinks, they like to tease and flirt drunkenly with the young bartender. Dak awkwardly gets back to his work, to much laughter and good ribbing.
Dak figures he's going to be a cleric of Cayden Cailean someday. High Priestess Saphira has taken a shine to the young acolyte, helping him to learn her native varisian language. For as long as anyone remembers, Dak has always been interested in firebirds. Occasionally, Dak will have vivid dreams of seeing flaming hawks or eagles high in the sky above him. Dak was given an important job by High Priestess Saphira. The bartender is to accompany a shipment of ale to Sothis in Osirion. Dak is to make sure all 36 barrels make it to their destination. And the clerics of the temple wanted Dak to go and see the world outside of Cayden's hall for a bit; get some experience. |
