"Wake up, dammit!!", the man yelled. The young redheaded boy or young man was sleeping deeply. "Wake up, wake up. You useless piece of crap!". The baldening, thin man appeared to be the innkeeper. Finally Kai woke up. He looked around disorientated. Hazy. Confused.

"You're already sleeping in this bed for the second night. You'll exhibit a compensation for this, my lad". Kai didn't know what this man was talking about. But then, as a cold breeze could surprise you with goosebumps, the memories came back. He had walked for twelve days now. He had slept like a baby. Tilting his head towards the innkeeper, he said: "I .. I'm sorry, sir. Give me some time to get out of bed and I'll meet you... uh... at the bar, ok? Then I'll pay off my debts and everybody will be happy, all right?". He had spoken so mature, gentile like an adult man. He wasn't here to look for fights, no that would cause even more delay.

He sat up straight and gave a big yawn. 'Greedy man, he thought. I was just sleeping so well. Yeah... guess it's time for me to take off... '. Stretching his arms gave him enough courage to get out of bed. He was so tired, yet he was determined to get what he was looking for. A tall man from about 5'8" feet was standing in the middle of the room. He was muscular, but not like a bodybuilder. His torso, arms and even his head were covered with special looking tattoos. The one of his right arm appeared to glow. But it didn't seem to bother Kai. Covered with nothing but a rag wrapped around his middle, 'protecting' what made him a man, he didn't feel ashamed. Al though everybody could just bust in the door.

His clothes were stuffed in a corner of the room. He began to pick them up and tried to fit his body into it. He put on his comfortable black pants, tightened his leather shoes and was about to ware his sleeveless white shirt, tightened at the bottom and loose at the top, when suddenly he remembered a man had to eat too. His stomach was literally growling, like a lion would do. He was that hungry! So he rushed to put on the rest of his clothes and his equipment. He threw the dark red cloak over his shoulders, buckled the iron staff at his back and finally grabbed the money bag.
He jerked the door open, rushed down the hallway, stamped his way down and suddenly realised he still had to pay the innkeeper. "That'll be two gold pieces, my friend". Again the greed was confirmed by the smile on his face. Kai assumed that this man liked 'paying time'. Nevertheless he paid and left as quick as he could. Kai was a well fortunate man, so he didn't have to worry about money.

'Hungry ! Where was that bakery again?'. He looked around and at the corner of the street, was a bakery. He almost sprinted to the shop, but he was still wary, he didn't want to be noticed. At least as less possible. Holding himself back, he would solve the problem why he was so starved and then he would continue his path, the reason why he got here: To find out more about the Secret Scrolls.
