Avalon/Roleplay Section/Hector/Hector's true love, part I

Hector lost 5 men in his recent battles with the monsters in Lacint. He fought extra hard, though. His anger and hatred brewing inside.

When he first arrived, Michael, Grimm-Reaper and minsc had joined formed up front, right outside town, and before he knew it, the battle had begun.

Grimm-Reaper and his men had charged first, Hector and his men fell charged just after, followed by minsc, then Michael. The blows were mighty, and the monsters recoiled. They attacked back, splitting our forces. That's odd, almost like regular battle tactics Hector thinks to himself. He charges on.

As the monsters all fell, one by one, Hector looked around and found 5 dead men who had joined him on this expedition. Soon after, he received orders to return to Cteduul. They would be moving out soon, again, to take another region... all for the glory of Avalon. He has become cynical. Very much so sine he found out she went to him when she was in trouble.

Hector found himself standing in the town square, amongst the crowd of people who had recently moved there, all buying at the market. He had drifted off in thought and wound up in the center of town.

He decided he wouldn't interfere, that he would let her do what she must. After all, she didn't belong to him, and they weren't in love anyway. Right? We aren't in love.

Time and time again, he thought about her. It brought his whole world down. Normally, he obsesses about saving people. So, why, obsess about her? Jessica, his dear Jessica. Perhaps, because he felt she needed saving. Saving from herself.

He looks up again, and finds himself on the street where he lives. Middleton Street. A well to-do street, where some of the more affluent of Cteduul's people live.

He thinks on to how they met, how he chose her from all the other girls, and how his deep scars over the women he once loved prohibited him from just "sleeping" with any woman. Perhaps, it was she who saved him?

He looks up now, he has wondered to the man's doorstep. He looks down at his feet, then back to the door. He thinks twice about it, then knocks. konk, konk, konk. The door is solid, it would take quite an effort to knock down, he thinks to himself.

She answers the door. Her eyes grow wide, and she looks terrified. "Hector, why are you here? What on earth makes you think this is OK?"

Hector's heart sinks, then breaks. He can't believe what he is hearing.

"Hector, it's not how it looks. Trust me, you have to go, I'll come to you later, and explain everything."

He's heard that before, not from her, but of women many times. It is never as it looks! How ironic that he should fall for someone whom he thought would never have any attachments in the world.

"I'll meet you tonight, at the Kings X Pub."

"Fine, then, I'll see what you have to say." And with that, Hector turns and leaves.
