How/why did you come to Monte'De: I was born an adventurer, and on the last of my great many adventures i have been on, i was attacked by a strange man. He and I fought a valiant battle, and in the end i came through.... barely. I was half dead and passed out near the local inn. Once I was found by some locals, I was brought into the inn. When i got inside, they woke me up by pouring water onto my head. When I woke, the first thing i saw was a face. The face of the man who I had fought. He gave me a small sneer that no one else saw and walked off. Walked off. Amazed, i pulled myself together and followed him into the back of the inn. When i got back there, there were a great many crates and quite a few other items laying around. Ever cautious, i slowly walked into the room. The second my foot hit the wooden floor, a floorboard creaked. With a very annoyed groan, i ran into the room. As an afterthought, this was a very bad idea. I was on the ground before i realized i was being attacked. I felt a hard sharp stabbing at my wrist. I assumed the man has simply slit my wrist and left me there to die. I lay there obsessed with my own torturous death for hours, only to find that it wouldnt come. I eventually mustered the strength to stand, and did. Upon looking at my wrist, realization dawned upon my face. No wonder that man had looked so strange.... he was a vampire! So steadily for the next few months, i walked the night in dispair, hiding during the day. I refused to feed, no matter what. I would eat chickens, squirrels, or dogs, but never a human. As the hunger grew stronger, i knew i had to search for a cure. So then was when what might be my last and hardest quest started. After years of searching with no results, i find myself at the castle of monte'de. With hope banished from my eyes, and happiness banished long before that, i started my ascent into the castle.
Appearance: Dark/hazel eyes, Flaming red hair, 6 feet tall, and of fair skin.
Equipment: (Weapons, items, keys, etc.) My fathers old sword Duir'Sgen (dee-yur-s-gen) and old, worn clothes. I keep a pack with basic medical supplies and a rather healthy supply of coins.

As i walk into the castle gates, I find myself amazed at the architectual genius of it. There are fortifications just where they need to be, small slits in the wall where an archer could fit his bow, and small cauldrons ready to be filled with boiling tar. There were many smaller defenses, most built into a very intricate series of switches and levers. I realize that the man who designed this building, along with its defenses, must have been a genius. I slowly walk forward, and am immediately greeted by a small sandy blonde haired boy.

As i began to observe the small boy in front of me, I reached out to shake his hand. He grasped my hand with a strength beyond that which he looked to have. After introductions were made, i got back to the topic at hand. "So as you were saying about the castle, yes, it is a very beautiful structure. How long has it been around? And if its not too much trouble, could you point me in the direction of the man in charge?"

I ponder for a second about how exactle to word this. "I have a... personal matter that i must speak with him about. If you do see the king, could you please tell him I am looking for him?" And as an afterthought, added "And is there any local healer that I could talk to? That would be just as useful."

"Peppermint... okay, thank you." As i walked in and got the full view, i realized just how big this place was. There were people everywhere you looked, and everywhere you didnt. With my hightened sense of smell, it wasnt hard to find the scent of peppermint. After a quick deduction, i found that there was peppermint in around a dozen areas in large quantities. I found the one with the most, and headed there. As I approach, i see a small room built into the side of the castle. As I walk in, I am immediately greeted by a short elderly looking woman with a huge smile on her face.

"Yes, thank you very much for your time. Look, I am in quite a perdicament, and i would really like some help on the issue. The only problem is trust. For one I'm not sure I can trust you not to tell anyone about it. The other thing is that I'm not sure if I can trust you not to... expoit it."

As I consider whether to tell her or not, completely unbidden by me I blurt out "I am a vampi-" but halt in midsentence. As I realize what I just said, and recognize the look of horror on the woman's face, I immediately shout "Don't be alarmed! I wont hurt you!" I could easily read the disbelief in her eyes. "I am just looking for a cure. Under NO circumstances is this supposed the get out to the people of the castle, understand?"
