I was amazed, his metalic hand could move around and everything. I couldn't recall seeing anything like it until now, then again I haven't been able to remember much since arriving in this world.
"Have you," I started, "Found any letters?"

I opened my mouth but then paused. My ear swiveled forward, detecting the sound of people approaching from behind alen.
"We shall have to talk later." I tentatively stepped back in retreat, "We shall meet back here, for now I have to go."
Who the people were that were approaching Alen I didn't know, however i did not hang around to find out. Before I could be spotted I dodged back into the tall grass, and made like a fish swimming away through the reeds.

he waited for raillin to respond when he noticed his ears twitch. "We shall have to talk later." raillin spoke, as he backed towards the brush. alen was confused, he looked back, seeing nothing, before looking back to raillin "We shall meet back here, for now I have to go." raillin continued, he seemed afraid. "a. . alright." alen replied. its not like the guy is incompetent, he'll be fine, then alen heard the noises of people approaching the well, aahoooo thats why. alen stood up and look back towards the approaching crowd, they were chanting something. . .
daylight came beaming down his face when he woke up. he sat up, sore for no reason, and his face felt heated, mostly on one side. looking around, he noticed he was on the grounds near the same well as last night, but. . . what happened?

"ALEN!" I spotted the boy laying on the ground and trotted over to him. "Alen what are you doing sprawled out like this?"
I had returned from the grasslands to this well like we had planned to do in the morning. However once I arrived I was shocked to find a number of people just laying about around the well. They all had a dazed and confused look on their mugs, but soon after they gathered their bearings the strangers dispersed and Alen was left at the well alone.
"What happened to your face?" I tilted my head and stared at the redness of the boy's cheek.

he rubbed his head as he looked at raillin when he heard his name called, "Alen what are you doing sprawled out like this?" raillin asked.
"i have no clue." before looking around at the other people sprawled out and leaving. "What happened to your face?" alen looked at the other people, the ones leaving and the few standing up, he noticed the side of their faces were red as well, some look worse than others. . ."i think some slap version of Indian burning happened. . . looks like they joined in too. . ." alen pointed out. this was wierrrd to him, . . . perhaps. . nooooo. . . no such thing. . .

I crouched, hiding behind the well as the last lingering people wandered off. If I was human I would have stopped one of them and asked what this gathering was all about but, seeing as I was still in animal form, I didn't bother trying.
"What's that?" When the coast was clear I walked over to a sign near the well.
It was a well worn piece of wood with a post that stuck crookedly in the ground. I looked it over, thankful that I could still read but struggling as my eyes were rather far sighted in this body.
"Looks like a warning..." I looked back at Alen, "Or a curse. Do you think this could have something to do with what happened?"

"hmmm. . . . maybe. . . " but it couldn be a curse,. . . . could it?
back in alen's homeland, curses, demons, and other divine related things, charms, and events where myths, they didn exist to their knowledge. . . this tends to happen when many hundreds of years of such not acting as predominantly force to the general public as other things. very few know they exist, many others assume they are legends to assist in telling of real events in history. if not just for the sake of making the story more exciting, or epic than others.
he noticed hao raillin hid from the other folks. . . "hmm. . . lets go ask around."

My ears laid back.
"Alright." I stood and moved so that I could walk beside Alen, "But I'd rather not draw attention to myself. You do the talking and I'll listen for anything suspicious."
I lowered my head slightly,
"And if anyone asks I'm your dog or hunting pet or something." I murmured, as much as it pained my pride to act like Alen's servant, "Not a lion or whatever else these people hunt on a regular basis."

"alright" he responded. . . poor guy probably spent alotta time being hunted down. .
it took a while for people to ignore raillin as a threat. especially after the really loud lady.
"CAREFUL!"
"of what?"
"THHAT B BEAST!"
"don worry hes my hunting dog."
"Wait, what? BUT he was here for WEEKS!"
"lost him a couple months ago."
". . . well, DON'T LOOSE HIM AGAIN! you HAVE to be responsible for your pets!"
"alright."
from person to person alen asked about the well and about the 'curse' only to get the door slammed on him. if the person doesn just awkwardly back and walk away from him. every time he turned around to ask the loud lady that was nao stalking them she would run off, probably to see if raillin will attack someone. . . . oi vey. . .

I tried to distance myself from the woman that seemed intent on following us. When Alen stopped to gather information, I would twitch my ears, trying to listen to the conversation only to pick up a chattering instead. I looked behind me to see that the woman was biting her nails and staring at me with a most concerned look.
I nudged Alen's leg, telling the boy to keep moving, and looked back at the woman. Again she followed us but then when we arrived on the other side of town she stopped. She froze in place and stared ahead of us. Then she hastily turned away and retreated back to the center of town.
I twitched my ear again and turned to face forward. In our path was a single house, well more of a shack. It was worn with walls made of scavenged metal. The door and windows where boarded shut with old planks and rusty nails, save for a tiny gap on one window that would allow someone to peek inside.

he looked about before seeing the barricaded shack as well". . . well they seem nice. . . lets go ask them." he stated before he started towards the shack. he stepped over the trip wires and metal sheets, thou before they could get to the door, a male voice sounded " NO! G G GO AWAY!!! *sobs* "

At the scream my fur bristled and I let out a growl. Something inside fell onto the floor with a loud crash and whoever was inside screeched that something had spilled out.
"Yesh!" I dodged behind Alen, "I don't think we should bother with this house."
From where I was I could smell something like herbs wafting from the house. It wasn't a very light smell either, more like an invisible sludge that was dripping out of the place and mixing with the smell of the dead grass outside.

"eh, hes just hysterical. besides, i don know about you, but i rather deal with a hysterical hermit than a stalker lady. . . . who knows, she might start trying to do more than to simply watch and follow." he shrugged. "we sould at least ask." he really didn want to deal with the stalker lady. . . she cant do much more than throw rocks at railin if shes far away, rather than within touching distance where she could potentially poison or kill him easier, then play victim and claim he attacked her. alen walked up to the door, before knocking on it. "I TOLD YOU TO GO AWAY!!" he shouted. "hey, do you know anything about the well outside of the village?" alen asked. ". . . well?" the man inside began to murmur to himself.

I frowned and my ears tilted back. I had to admit Alen was right, so even though this place smelled foul at least it was acting as a repellent to that strange woman.
There was a shuffling inside the house and we waited patiently but the man inside didn't seem to want to cooperate. Finally I decided to ask something else in hope that I would get a reply.
"What are you cooking in there?"
Another bit of silence. I sat down, though the dead grass was prickly and uncomfortable, and watched the boarded up window. That's when the unkown man inside the house neared the gap in the boards, and peered at us with wide eyes.
"I tried to make a cure for the well's curse but it didn't work."
Intrigued I tilted my head.
"So you do know about that well. Can you tell us more?"
The man fidgeted behind the boards, then replied.
"It doesn't work. The brews don't work. The Well wants blood and pain is what it wants!"
The man raised his voice, then made a "shush" sound immediately after and whispered.
"That's the secret."
