A New Start
Ryan stared at himself in the mirror, huffing as he buttoned his vest. Something he never really did before now was to become a normality. He thought to himself. He was about to go through a drastic change. His new life meant something extremely different from the disgusting caves he traveled. He adjusted himself, placing his weight upon his wooden leg, the old and frail wooden floor boards creaking as his weight shifted. He looked to himself once more in the mirror, his arms slipping through the black cloth of the silk coat he spent much of his savings on. Ryan rolled his shoulders a bit, taking in the strange feeling of the silk coat he wore. Sighing, he finally grasped the goggles which were oh so familiar to him. A lost memory of a lost friend that he now wore proudly. He placed them over his head, adjusting his hair so it fit perfectly, placing the brown band behind his pointed ears.
He finally slipped on his leather riding boot, looking to the other, then glancing to his wooden leg that was a replacement to his right leg. He sighed, finally redirecting his blue gaze to the mirror once more. He spoke in a quiet mutter "You are now Aranethon Pierce." He hadn't mentioned his old birth name in years, looking to the now almost stranger that stood in the reflection of the mirror. He then spun on his heel, stepping over to the wooden door, grasping the handle. He took in a deep breath before turning the handle, opening a new door to a new life "A new start."
