🍂 [AKT Part 1] | The Inescapable Invitation

The air maintains it's chilly atmosphere, with pockets of sunlight offering warmth for what feels like only moments during the passing days. The leaves have nearly completed their transition, crimson hues paint the surrounding trees, soon to claim what little greenery remains.

The day is... typical. Crederians go about their days as normal, whether that be working in the market square, studying for the test given too soon after the beginning of the school-year, hauling fish from the sea with enchanted nets, or patrolling with your fellow knights along the Gallym plains to keep the beasts at bay. 

Whatever that may be for you, however known this day is, you're unprepared to find the small red creature that appears directly before you. In it's hands is a tan-colored letter with a vibrantly red autumn leaf pinned in place by a wax seal. The creature says nothing, and does nothing aside from hold the letter out to you. 

The hustle and bustle of the kitchen, the harsh waves nearly toppling the boat, nor the creature ambushing your party cause a wavering in the small creature's hands, it's eyes locked onto you, unmoving... until your name is called by another cook needing help as pots boil over, by the captain assigning positions to keep the ship upright, by your fellow knights calling out the beasts weak points. Once your body moves, it's body moves, following you with the letter held in front of it. 

On instinct you might question the creature about the letter and recieve no answer. No indication that it even understood you. It follows you through your typical day, turning it anything but as small misfortunes start to befall you the longer you go without taking the letter. A pebble underpaw, an elbow knocking into a doorframe, spilling a drink, a small fire breaking out due to neglecting a long-baking loaf of bread, tripping into a nearby puddle when you were sure you'd sidestepped it...

Maybe you take the letter. You take it, and with a satisfied crinkle of it's eyes it disappears in a puff of crimson leaves, leaving a small pile at your feet.

The Autumn King? More a fable than not, someone is surely playing a trick on you... Or, are you familliar with this being? Crederians talk about the seasons with caution, some with reverence, but most with respect; be it due to superstition, belief, or personal expecience.

The day is... typical, and standing with letter in paw, you wonder if the sharp breeze that billows through your hair and smatters the small red leaf pile into your face was on purpose.

What sort of day is it for them? Did they recieve their letter on the job,  on a hunt, while relaxing in the tub, or perhaps while taking a simple stroll under the reddening trees. Regardless of where, the creature will find you, and will offer you that letter.
