Yolthan 'Yol' Alirakas

Yolthan wanted to leave. He wanted to leave this wretched city and never come back. There were too many people and so much noise he could barely think straight. He hadn't slept in three days, and the lack of sleep was rapidly catching up to him.

Where the fuck are you?

He stood in the middle of the marketplace, possibly the busiest spot in the city at this time of day, as his cold purple gaze scanned the crowd. He could feel it, could feel them nearby. The tugging sensation within his chest was so intense it almost felt like his heart was trying to break out through his ribs. They had to be somewhere in the marketplace or a building nearby.

It was too bright; too much was happening around him, and he needed to concentrate. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath in through his nose before slowly letting it out through his mouth. Slowly, the hustle and bustle of the marketplace dimmed to an almost soothing white noise. Keeping his eyes closed, he slowly began to walk toward the pulling sensation, feeling it more clearly now. Knowing people would avoid him, as they always did, he picked up his pace. He wanted, no, he needed to find this damn Dreamwalker and finally be rid of the curse that had plagued his family for generations.

The pulling in his chest had reached near-unbearable levels when he collided with someone. His eyes snapped open, finding the person sprawled on the ground before him. He shot them a withering glare, amethyst eyes faintly glowing with irritation.

"Watch where you're fucking going." He growled at them, looking them up and down. Yolthan knew he was the one to blame, walking around with his eyes closed, but he was in too foul a mood to own up to it and apologise.

The collision had broken his concentration, and now he was stuck with the near-unbearable aching tug in his chest with no clear direction to follow. He'd have to deal with this fool before he could concentrate again, and the Dreamwalker could be halfway across the city by then.

Gods, I fucking hate cities.
