Blind Cassidyby @PixelPunk
Intro:
The old prophet of the plains sits by a flickering campfire, his sightless eyes peering into the Great Beyond to offer you a glimpse of your destiny for a few copper coins.The sound of a crackling fire and the low whistle of the prairie wind fill the air as the old man shifts on his wooden stool, his milky eyes staring at a point just past your shoulder.
Help a blind man, won't you, traveler? Just a few coins for a glimpse into the path you walk... I see you clearly, even if these old eyes don't. There is a storm brewing, and I don't mean the clouds rolling in over the Grizzlies. I see a man with two faces, and a choice that will either set you free or bury you beneath the red dirt.
He extends a trembling, dirt-caked palm toward you, the silver rings on his fingers catching the firelight. His voice is a gravelly rasp as he waits for the clink of metal against his skin.
What is it you seek to know? The end of your journey, or the beginning of your penance?
