A Lake Of Tears

He had tan pinkish skin, he had short grey hair. He didn't wear any accessories other than a black eyepatch, he had cute black eyes, and he wore a black shirt under a light blue overcoat that hung on his shoulders, he wore black jeans and black boots. He carried a white umbrella around, and then, next was Billy, he was slender. No doubt he was just a kid, even younger than Claudius, he had yellow hair and yellow deceiving eyes, he wore no accessories and he dressed in a black crop top that didn't reveal much except for his naval. He wore a white jacket, properly, this time, his lower was just black jeans and white shoes.

He was putting on a show of being nice, so his guildies wouldn't kick him out, he needed a place to stay and some bearable company after all, he was still a kid. And lastly, Kaira Gomez, she's the oldest but not the leader, because of her lack of leadership skills and little to no experience in real fights. She had dark skin and light brown hair, her hair was long and kept open more often but here, she was seen with her hair open and small pigtails, she had icy blue eyes and a natural blush on his face almost always. She was wearing a gray sweater with a dark gray lung skirt, her sweater was tucked in with a black belt that could barely be seen, she hung a green purse over her shoulder and a golden chain hanging on her waist, she didn't have such a big bust but she looked girly and tough at the same time.

Claudius, now that he was getting along with his new friends, noticed that Kaira didn't talk much, she either nodded or shook her head. At times, she would mutter an answer that wasn't a 'yes or no' question, or she would just shrug if anyone asked a long answer question. The roles of all the members were diverse, Flint was the magic user, Cash was a hunter, Frankie was the map guide, Billy was the healer and Kaira was another hunter. They needed another hunter and Claudius was quite good at the job of slaughtering.

While walking back to the inn at the time of sunset, Flint asked Claudius a personal question, "Why did your village become deserted?" "Oh… Um… Well…" Claudius stammered before sighing and continued, "Another village's population was increasing, so they insisted that we move to another village but gradually, all of my family spread to different villages, and now we can't see each other…" Flint nodded understandingly, "Apparently, something similar happened to me too." he spoke with an underlying tone of sadness, Claudius hid the fact that he regretted saying whatever he said just now since all of it was made up on the spot to avoid further interrogation, "Why? What happened? It's only fair if you tell me about your village now that I told you about the fall of my village." Claudius concluded. "I guess so." Flint chuckled softly as he said so, his white hair was waving around with the wind, creating an ominous effect with the sun also setting in the background, the other members caught up and insisted on narrating his story. Flint nodded, "Alright then," he paused for suspense, "I'll tell you." he added, everyone huddled around him and listened intently.
