Sunset.
As night wrapped the city in its dark, gentle embrace, a brilliant ambience took shape. Torchlight and magics of various colours and forms lit Ragash's streets, and much of the city still bustled with life even after the sun descended into rest. From high above in the palace which loomed over, Ashuanar cast his careful gaze out and over all that he could see.
The war in the south had thinned the populace, drawing many who would otherwise be here to go elsewhere, either to fight the fight themselves or contribute in other ways. Nevertheless, though there were fewer here, one would be hard pressed to tell. Only Ashuanar's acute knowledge of that situation alerted him to any change, for whatever importance it was. As for himself and his being here, his time in the front had been arduous, and even he could not be ever present. There was a time afforded where he could return, and so he had. And though there were several reasons for his doing so, tonight there was a particular ebbing at his heart. As his eyes looked down into the streets below, he longed to remember what it was like...
… to be just a passerby, just another person, traveling through the street. Enjoying their life. Not concerned with the outcome of battles, disputes, or negotiations. Just moving forward, with not a care for the words or actions of potential enemies or being ever watchful for assassins or conspiracy.
Tonight, he decided, he would remember.
So clothed in a heavy, masking cloak, forsaking any markers of his identity(save for his golden armband, well hidden beneath his sleeve), he departed from his room. He was careful to ensure that he moved unseen, and as he stalked through the palace's dimly lit corridors, he kept a careful watch for any who might spot him. He wished to leave unfollowed with no entourage of his faithful warriors to "protect" him. He wished to be apart from any sense of formality, function, or even security. He need only depart the palace unnoticed to enjoy a brief reprieve...
