A New Priest in Town
Hector leaves the Druid temple, knowing full well Arian would not be there when he got back. He headed into town wearing his druid cloak and went to a local Tavern, and ordered a couple of shots of hard alcohol and sat there, pondering.
A young woman approached Hector from behind. Hector knew she was there, but ignored her for a moment.
"Lord Hector" she said as she gazes at the back of his cloak.
He does not respond, and she reaches up and taps him on the shoulder, "Lord Hector, please, I've been looking for you for a couple of days..."
Hector turns around ready to snap at this person who is destrubing him, but as he turns around, he is taken aback by her beauty and soft spoken look.
She continues, "I've been looking for you, I wish to join the druids, I've heard about them and want to join..."
Hector reaches behind him, never removing his eyes from her soft face, and grabs his shot glass and gulps it down, returning to gaze at her. "We're full" He says, snickering inside himself, knowing full well, her becoming a druid could seriously distract him.
"But Lord Hector, it is written the Druids accept anyone pure of heart, and I am not about to stop now!"
Hector raises one eyebrow and purses his lips together, then looks to one side and back again, trying to think of something. Hector is normally quite quick with his wit, but he seems mentally blocked, his brain is locked, and he has nothing clever to say, so he says, "OK, meet me at the temple tomorrow morning, and we'll begin your studies."
A smile stretches across her face from ear to ear, she then looks at the bar tender and nods. He slaps a shotglass on the table and she reaches for it, without hesitation, slams it down then looks back at Lord Hector, "OK, then, I'll see you in the morning, and as quickly as she appeared, she was gone in the crowd again and out the door."
Hector turns back around and leans on the bar, he looks up at the bartender after a few moments of silence and says, "you know what... leave the bottle!"
