Taint Stirling pulled himself up onto another cold, moist stone and sighed, waving some fog away from his face. The ruins stood almost dominatly before him. He pulled out his broadsword and a small, feeble light from the sun shone down on it. He pawsteps were small and light, but as each one softly slapped against a rock it sounded like an explosion in the forboding quietness. He passed a bush, the only one he saw in a while. He was about to enter the crumbling door of the ruins when the bushed moved slightly. He wasn't alone.

a small muffled "oof!" came from the bush, and it rustled, the sounds of rocks sliding downwards could be heard.

Taint set his jaw and pulled out his sword slowly. "Come out." he said steadily. "Come out, and I won't have to use any force." He stepped forward.

From the bushes emerged a small, scared looking otterbabe. His smock was dirty, and he looked extremley thin.

Taints eyes softened and he sheathed his sword. "Hey there, little matey." He squated down. "What...what are you doing out here?"

"I'm...well, I'm going into those ruins. I'm looking for someone in there." Taint stood. "Say...where are you parents? Who takes care of you?"

"yea!" Taggle exclaimed excitedly, looking at it. It was razor sharp, and deadly, probably a little to heavy for him too.

Name: Gold Seam AKA Gold or G
Gender: Male
Speices: Garter Snake
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gold Seam's dry, scailed underbelly slid along the cool stone at a swift pace. With his unblinking eyes, he saw two otters ahead, one large and one small. Reaching out over a narrow ledge, the small snake let his body drop in tthe loam. As he moved towards them, a continuous hissss could be heard in and amongst the leaves.

Taint gripped his sword tighter and turned around. The snake seemed harmless...at first. He picked up the small otterbabe and placed him on his shoulder. "Listen, snake. We aren't looking for a fight."

Gold Seam gave a dry, hissing laugh.
"I've not the intention or means to fight you, otter..." With a smooth and powerful motion, the snake lifted himself, until he was nearly eye to eye with Taint. he had a smile frozen on his yellow lips, his eye scails were fogged over. He would soon shed, but for now, his sight was impared.
"I'm half blind at the moment, and besides that, peaceful. I was simply wondering what draws you to this baran place.."

The otterbabe stayed silent. He had never seen a snake this big. He looked into the snake's yellow eyes, examining him.
