It was a foggy day, and it had just begun to rain when Diarmaid had awoken. He put on his woolen rain hat, a conical brim as was typical of a man of his profession. He donned a robe that was little more than a burlap sack with holes cut for head and sleeves, and made to be long enough to cover his whole body. He put on a blue cowl which matched his hat, keeping the hood down to leave his hat on. He straightened his rain hat and thumbed through a collection of staffs at his bedside, they were of various makes and material, but he selected an old wooden one. This one came up to his shoulder, but it was taller than the wizard whom he took it from.
He walked out of his buried house, the large door was wooden and reinforced with steel he had smelted himself. He generally only needed the materials for items that he wanted, though he had taken from other wizards who thought they should challenge him.
It was a monday, so at the town market would be the dryad, selling her remedies and ingredients for the sins committed on Sunday. At least he hoped she would come out in this, though he couldn't think of rain and mud being a reason to delay a dryad. As he approached the village he lived near, he pulled down his cap, covering his third eye so that the humans could not see it. He looked for her, wanting to see her again, not just for the ingredients.
