Leandra Rosemay

As the sun raised up to the sky the small village started to move and come alive with the shops and hunters. Laying in bed a woman woke with beads of cold sweat running down her neck and face. Her nightmares had not subsided as her late husband had said they would the beast that hunted her thoughts and dreams seemed to have become more powerful with out her husband to chase it away with his spear and knife. But as of late her nightmares always stayed and never let her rest.

Shacking she could feel the runes that where carved into her back where cold as ice. looked about hoping her son wasn't around to see here like this she had learned to not scream from the dreams while she was young her parents didn't believe her about the beast cursing her as a kid. So she always felt alone and learn to seek shelter from her dreams in her solitude.

As the stones roll out Leandra looks upon them "hmmm i see good fortune in your future." with that the man sitting across from her smiles and giggles. "hmm I also see that your hard work will pay off and bring you great joy Mr. Logan." Mr. Logan smiled even wider with the rest of the reading. "Oh thank you so much Sand Seer and here is a token of my appreciation." Said Mr. Logan as he handed her two gold coins. "Mr. Logan it was and honer to read the stones for the head hunter of the village."

With that the man stands and leaves the small tent. "Well son lets pack up for the day and head home." said Leandra as she starts to pack her stones in her silk bag and stands her son follows her lead and packs up his set of stones that his mother gave him to practice with.

As the small storm blew at the small house of clay Leandra started to make food for her and her son. While her son set up a game of chess "Hey Leandra when your done will you play chess with me." "Only if im white." said Leandra as she smiled at the boy "Okay." said the boy with a large smile.

As the storm died down Leandra set down a small bowl of soup in front of her son. "Well are you ready, son of mine." she said as she set across from the boy.
