A/N: Told you there'd be more. Survived one campaign, on to the next soon, so in the meantime here's some lore during the five years in-between.
Adam sighs, leaning against a rickety old fence under the blazing sun. "Don't go slacking off now you whippersnapper!" The old farmer nearby yelled, a handful of dirt making it's way into Adam's face. "Right, sorry sir" the brunet man apologised, wiping his brow before turning towards the fields in-front of him. Picking up the hoe he'd dropped, Adam followed the old farmer to a spot particularly covered in weeds. The two got to work, moving down the field every now and again to a different patch. It was late in the evening when Adam dragged himself back into town, his back sore from being hunched over all day. He was a tall man for 36, standing 6'5" (198cm) and well built. Almost nobody would ever even try to challenge him, unless... "Hand over your money pal" a voice said behind Adam, a knife suddenly being pressed to his neck. The brunet man let out a sigh, his hands twitching slightly in annoyance. "Your from out of town, aren't you?" Adam asked, not even moving. "Why does that matter? Just give me your gold or-" the mugger was cut-off as Adam's hands clapped together, and the next moment the man screaming in pain, with two blades of ice pinning him to a wall off the ground.
"Quit your crying. Someone will get you down soon enough" Adam said, fixing his sleeves as he continued walking. Passing through the town square, the brunet man waved to his fellow citizens as lanterns were being lit. "Evening Sir" someone said, walking past Adam with a box of apples. "Evening to you to Finn. Enjoy your evening" the brunet man replied. Continuing through the town, Adam pushed the door to a familiar bar open, sitting on a seat directly in-front of the old bartender. "How was your day, Mr Staria?" Death asked, sliding a chilled glass over to the brunet man. "Same old same old" Adam replied, taking a sip of his drink. "Hear anything about her recently?" Death smiled, nodding towards the seat next to Adam. The brunet man turn and looked down, finding a note resting there. "Arrived around midday, addressed to you" Death said, before turning to another customer. Adam reached down, picking up the note and examining it. It's contents was simple: 'Tonight, at the place we first kissed.' Adam's heart beat quickened as he chugged his drink, dropping some gold on the counter before sprinting out of the bar. Death watch the brunet man, a small smile playing on his lips.
Adam rushed through the town, startling people as he tore past them. Reaching his house, he dam near kicked the door open, giving Garret a heart attack as he saw his friend rush through the house like a tornado. "Adam, what the hell's gotten into you?" The red haired man asked, picking himself off the floor and sitting back on the couch. "No time Garret. She's back!" Adam cheered, his clothes already changed as he ran back towards the door. Garret couldn't even say a word as Adam tore from the house, leaving the door wide open. "Jesus, he's like a lovesick puppy" the red haired man joked, looking back down at the book he was reading. Out on the streets, Adam sprinted through the crowd of people who clogged the paths. It was the 10th anniversary of the day Adam had abolished the monarchy, and since then the kingdom had become a prosperous and happy nation. As the crowd grew thicker, Adam started to get more annoyed. The sun was nearly set and he was still halfway across the town from the church. 'Screw everything!' The brunet man mentally cursed, clapping his hands together.
A whole bunch of jumping from every rooftop later, Adam had finally arrived on the church roof. "Took you long enough to show up, magical masked moron" Reina said, perched on the ridge of the roof. Adam panted, one hand on his knee, the other giving Reina a middle finger. "Says the one who was gone for a entire dam year" the brunet man huffed. The Ravenette woman chuckled, slowly sliding down to stand next to Adam. The brunet man looked to his side, finally noticing the scarring and bruises littering her skin. "Before you ask, it was my own stupid fault" Reina said, rubbing the bandages on her legs. "Went a bit overboard and burnt myself... again." Adam sighed, raising to his full height before leaning down and kissing the Ravenette deeply. The two stayed like that for some time, until eventually they needed to part for air. "Miss me that badly?" Reina asked, a light blush on her cheeks. "So much more" Adam replied, pulling the Ravenette into his chest. Reina wrapped her arms around the brunet man, leaning her ear right over his heart. "Me too, ya magical moron."
