Orchidia, a city overgrown with vegetation and life—it was beautiful, at least, to the young Quintis. Quinn rose from his bedchambers early that morning, rays of sunlight bled through, rousing him from his slumber. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes, before getting dressed. Once dressed, Quinn made his way out to the streets of Orchidia, there while getting a bacon and egg sandwich—Quinn noticed that the streets seemed to be a bit darker. A huge shadow had been casted over the city by a bizarre and non-nature tree; a tree which towered over the city like some sort of monument to nature and it great powers. Quintis studied the bizzare tree for a moment, scratching the underside of his chin. As he observed this bizarre tree, Quintis noticed that a crowd of men and woman had gathered at its base, and amongst the crowd were lumberjacks and farmers.
Quinn approached the crowd; one of the lumberjacks held a huge axe, and promptly slammed it into the base of the tree, he hacked, and hacked, but to no luck. The lumberjack hand then started to tremble uncontrollably, causing him to lose grip on his axe, which tumbled to the ground. Boils started to appear on his hand, as his veins started to darken. Quintis cocked an eyebrow upward, then rushed to catch the guy as he proceeded to fall onto the ground. He pulled his cloak over the man, so that his skin was not touching what could be a curse or disease. Quinn drew a circle in the air, muttering a few words, as a glyph appeared in the center of the circle. A magic circle was then summoned, as blue ‘hard-light’ ‘dust’ speckled over the lumberjack- but nothing happened. Quintis’s frowned deepen, What’s the purpose of knowing healing magic if it doesn’t work? He thought bitterly to himself, as the slender and attractive figure of Inspector Nilan came to him.
“Damn it,” Nilan cursed as he approached Quinn and the Lumberjack. “That is the fifth Lumberjack this day!”
“Fifth?” Quinn questioned, his anger momentarily rising in his words. “What do you mean the fifth Lumberjack?”
