CORMAC the BARBARIAN


Silence. It lay like a thick blanket of snow over the dark sooty bay stallion, following him wherever he went. For two weeks he had experienced a deafness that was akin in some ways to his own inability to feel physical pain. The first few days had had him in a state of almost panic trying to desperately reclaim something that only the benevolence of a god could give him. Now it was easier to at least understand others thanks to the help of Aryel who was kind enough to let him acquire his lip reading skills so that he didn't have to suffer the humiliation of being completely left out of his comrade's conversations. The pirate's meeting had been particularly difficult for him to follow since too many equines had been speaking at different times that it was hard to keep track of them all.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of his deafness was trying to find new crew mates in the threshold. Although he still had his sense of smell by the time he located the newcomer someone else had already snatched them up and they were off never knowing that they had just missed joining the best outcast herd there was. He finally ran into Vicer and a white colt whose name he still didn't know and after such a long day managed to help him recruit the young stag. He had had mischief in his eyes and would make a wonderful addition to their band, perhaps the wait would be worth it.

At long last Cormac reached the broken shrines and upon seeing them stood and stared, shocked. Was this some kind of cruel joke the gods were playing on him? The water god took away his hearing and then left?! A scream left his throat as anger and frustration welled up in him and he struck the black rocks under his hooves, wanting to release his fury on the shrines but knowing better then to disrespect the gods in such a blatant way. Finding a nearby pillar of stone that was disconnected to the decrepit shrines and threw himself at it. Long jagged scratches found their way onto his legs until he braced his head against the now red and black rock. A single word escaped his lips in a hoarse whisper. "Please..." This would probably be the first and last time he ever said it, but at least it was one of the gods that had finally dragged that word from his lips.

[ooc: So I adopted Cormac and am not totally sure if I fulfilled the quest correctly so just let me know if I forgot something.
