Aldren appeared on the edge of the Hook Coast docks. He had been always meaning to go here and now he finally had the chance.
The wind was gentle pawing at his face as Aldren sat down on the pier. It was cold and Aldren shivered but he couldn't have been happier.
Perhaps running from his problems was not the best of ideas but it couldn't have been the worst. Besides, Ravyn would be more then capable. She had proven that when she had refused to kill him.
Aldren walked up to the local inn and requested a room. He wore a hood over his head and all times so no one would recognize his face. An old angry looking female escorted him to his quarters and when he was alone he sprawled out on the straw mattress and took a nap.
When Aldren woke up he decided that enough was enough. If he was going to get back into the Hero business then he would have to shave his long bushy beard. No proper Hero had a beard now a days. With a razor and a mirror Aldren changed his image substantially. Pleased with the results, he left the inn to explore more of Hook Coast.
There was still a Gentle Wind in the air. That was a good omen.

Magpie appeared in Hook Coast, ready for his retirement. He accidently walked into a cloaked man.
"Sorry." He muttered.
Magpie made his way to the docks, sitting down on the edge. At long last he could go fishing like he had wanted to for ages.

Griff was scouting Hook Coast when he spotted Magpie at the docks fishing.
"Do you mind if I join you Magpie?" he asked

Magpie beckoned to Griff and Aldren to come over to him, they did so.
"Planning another raid, Griff?" Magpie whispered to him.

"To be honest Magpie, I don't know. The life of a bandit is what I want, but I don't really agree with the whole killing innocents. I'm thinking of working on my thievery skills, they're coming along pretty well." Griff said handing back Magpie's bag of 500 gold he took while talking
"See what I mean" he said laughing

Magpie chuckled.
"Very good." He said.

Griff threw the line in on his hand reel, noticing the man in the hood standing not too far away.
"So that is Aldren?" Griff asked letting some more line out.

"Huh?" Magpie said taking a look behind him.
"Oh yes. Well spotted Griff." Magpie said, beckoning Aldren over.

"So he shaved his beard, it's a good look. I'd like to talk with him, but I don't think that he would want to" Griff said
He looked up at Aldren, seeing him in a different light. He didn't look like the old frail man that Griff had once tried to kill.
Now he looked like a completely new man who was much stronger, and much more adventurous.

Magpie got up and approached Aldren.
"I'd always wanted to travel with a powerful person. Will you let me travel with you, Aldren?" He asked.

Aldren looked at them both for a moment and shook his head sadly.
"Yes, I guess my disguise was not very good. Perhaps some magic would fix that.... oh well. I'll travel with you for awhile, but neither of you must mention my name. If anyone asks it's Murph. And Griff, if you try to kill me again I swear to Avo I will turn you into a Hobbe."
Aldren got up from where he had been sitting and grabbed his sword.
"Where do you want to go to Magpie? I am very ready for some adventure."

"Hmm..." Magpie said thinking a moment, before grinning.
"How about we head to Oakvale first? I can buy you some supplies which it looks like you could use, and we could prepare to make a visit to Darkwood." He finished.

Griff reeled in his line and got up off his seat.
"I appreciate the offer to travel with you guys, but I don't think I should. Aldren, I am sorry I tried to kill you. I want you to know that I'm through with that now, I refuse to kill anymore. I'm still a bandit at heart, but I just won't hurt people like that anymore unless it is in defense for myself. Anyway, please accept my apologies, and good luck with your new life" Griff said as he walked away

Aldren nodded at the disappearing figure that was Griff Trevin. It seemed to him that the boy had figured it out, nothing was really worth the sacrifice of another life. At least he understood that now.
"Magpie, if you would like to lead the way, I fear I have not been to Darkwood in over two decades and I would get us quite lost."
