Faerune had become something of extraordinary beauty over the years.

Adonis Montoya had seen this town grow for many moons. There was something about this town that drew people in, both human and occult alike. Adonis could understand the appeal.

The town was simple, quaint, yet beautiful. Each shop felt like a small home, a brand-new welcome into each day when he walked inside of a place. It felt the same at Birch Bar. 

Maybe it was having worked here for so many years, but Adonis loved this place like it was his own home. He knew the chairs, the tables, the notches in countertops, like he knew his own name. He loved working here. He couldn’t imagine working anywhere else.

The bell above the door rang, pulling Adonis from his thoughts. Another customer. With a smile, he turned and gave a polite nod in their direction.

“Welcome, welcome! Do come in. What might I get started for you?”

(tw: implied animal death)

The arrival of the “new queen” had shot a plethora of emotions through Adonis. Rage, shock, distaste, a morbid awe, but most of all, concern.

With the so-called queen’s arrival came a wall of crystals, stretching out across the border of town as far as the eye could see. They created a barricade, miles high, that stretched through lakes and woodland, barely missing houses in some cases and impaling a few shops here and there upon their emergence. 

However, in cutting through the woods, Adonis realized those he considered family-- the wildlife outside of his home-- were in danger. He allowed his anger to boil inside of him, for now (it’d do him no good to have an outburst so publicly), and rushed home, darting out of current conversations without so much as a goodbye.

Now, it was dusk. Adonis stood in the woods alongside his home, staring down at a matt of torn fur and blood that stained the crystal wall a good mile or so from his home. He was numb. He wasn’t sure how long he’d been out here, but this was all too much to take in. He didn’t even notice anyone approaching him.
