Phase 2: Watch Out for Mimics

In a different world...

How would your character go about their day to day if they were born into a high-fantasy world instead of the SWU? In at least 500 words, write a story about one of your sheeted characters and how they would spend a day in their normal life in this kind of scenario, whether it be trolling dungeons for some pretty valuables, crafting potions for a nearby village, or getting into a drunken tavern brawl. Feel free to use inspiration from high-fantasy sources like Final Fantasy XIV, D&D, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, the Elderscrolls series, and Mistborn.

Coop with Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir 13486, an old unfinished story this gave us the opportunity to revisit.
set in Dungeons & Dragons.
Characters:

* Kobgin Settgre as a gnome who's secretly a bloodhunter of the Lycanthrope order(bonded with a pelt of a monster heart-eating elk-canine beast) and worships Malar loosely with fear. Monsterhunter with a guild called the Purloin Shrikers.
* Jax as a elven-blooded shifter Rune knight, who's been in love with Kob since he first saw the gnome in the woods near his home territory. Blames himself for the guild finding and slaying many of his pack couple of years ago and despite not having been present, knows he caught Kob's scent there and that he was involved.

Sooo, yeah, this is just a portion of this enemies to lovers, remorse and regret tale.
