After many months of traveling and sight seeing across the rolling planes and lavish regions of Charon Alistair stumbled across a small village that looked to be in the midst of construction. The village was nestled between Dragon's Cradle and Zeniav. Entering the village was a sight to behold for Alistair for he had seldom seen such a collaborative effort to build something from the ground up in all of his travels.
He rushed over in a jovial bounce, his heavy footsteps and large feet kicking up mud and dirty water in the air, and sought after a person whom he could offer his assistance. The massive giff was greeted with bright eyed dwarfs and humans who were delighted that someone had arrived out of the blue to offer a helping hand.
"Oh? so yer here to help us are ye lad?" One dwarf chuckled "Well we'd be glad to have yer assistance! Go ahead and help that poor whelp over there hauling those heavy bricks." The dwarf gestured to a rather skinny looking human attempting to drag a pile of bricks on a wagon and with a pat on his back sent him on his way.
Alistair immediately rushed over to the boy with glee and grabbed the wagon with one hand and with a mighty tug began to rapidly drag the wagon over towards a building site. Unfortunately in his haste the boy was toppled over due to Alistairs strong pull hit the ground with a resounding thud and ended up covered in mud. The boy rose to his feet wiping the mud off of his face shouting "Hey! What'd you do that for ya big oaf! You could have crushed me!" Alistair was taken aback by the sudden animosity directed towards him. The shouting hit him with a flood of embarrassment and the distant snickering of other workers didn't help either. "I'm terribly sorry my friend I was merely trying to offer some help as I was instructed to, please forgive my haste." Within moments the boys eyes would noticeably turn from hard to soft and in that moment he moved over to the wagon and grabbed one side and said with a sigh "It's okay just be careful next time. Now are ya gonna help me move these or not?" The boys biting sarcasm caused Alistair to give a small chuckle and then in turn grabbed the other side and gave the boy a nod. Together they lifted the wagon and hauled the bricks over to the site and began unloading them and helping the other workers build up what looked to be a small house.
When they were done Alistair dusted off his hands and started to pack up his gear and head out from the village to continue his travels. But not before being stopped by the boy "Thanks for yer help today sir it will not be forgotten soon!" Words of appreciation that sounded like music to Alistair's ears. "I was more than happy to help and I should like to visit this place again when it is all finished. I suspect this is not the last time I will pass through this village!" They both shared a laugh to themselves before he turned and headed outwards barely noticing the boy waving him off.
