Julian was perplexed. He had thought that after he graduated, he would have some direction, some purpose in life. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. 'Well, if I don't know what to do, I'll try to travel,' he thought. 'Maybe then I can find something.'
After hearing several vague rumors that concerned Lycia and Bern, he decided he would begin by heading to Lycia. From there, he would just 'go with the flow,' as his master would say.
'Now that that's decided, I should probably get away from the small crowd of females that have been following me for the last few minutes. Julian then ducked into a random shop and exited out the back heading towards the city gates.

After leaving the city and reaching a somewhat secluded area right after the first turn in the road, Julian pulled out his map. 'Let's see...If I head to the east a bit, it looks like I'll hit a river. Following that should lead me to Lycia in about...a week or so if I'm lucky,' he thought. With that, he put his map away and began walking.

Julian sighed. He was bored. All he did was walk and walk and walk. Then, at night he would set up camp - mainly a fire and a bedroll - eat a quick dinner and sleep. He had hoped that something would happen that would alleviate his boredom. And you know what they say, 'be careful what you wish for.'
As it so happens, Julian did find something 4 days into his trip. Passing through a small village to buy a few supplies, he heard a commotion inside a barn. Curious, he stuck his head inside and froze at the sight of 2 men laughing while subduing a young crying girl. In his shell-shocked state, he only heard the occasional word. But what he did was about to send him over the edge.
"Haha...stu...lut...gonna have...fun...you." When the man reached out and hit the sobbing girl, Julian snapped. His face went blank for a moment before an insane smile lit up his face. With this expression on his face, Julian walked into the barn, saying "Well, well, well, what do we have here? Do you mind playing with me first?"
The peace of the town was shattered with an ear-piercing scream followed by the barn erupting into a fiery blaze. By the time the townsfolk managed to put out the fire, the only things found were two corpses burned beyond recognition and an unconcious girl. Julian was long gone, having fled into the forest aways before suddenly stopping in a clearing and collapsing.

Julian woke up,wondering where he was. The last thing he remembered, he had been in a barn...Crap. The blank in time from then to now meant he had lost control...again. He had hoped that he had better contol than that.
Pondering what he could do to gain better control, Julian, using his map and the position of the sun managed to triangulate his position. 'Seems like I'm closer to Ostia than I thought. I'll just head there then to stock up and see if there are any good rumors.' That out of the way, Julian started walking, hoping to get to Ostia in the next day or so.
