Richard is Mr. Curiosity ;
aka quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever done for a challenge yet :P Damn you inspiration. (I had 2,700 words on a fic that failed me! ASDFGHJKL;)

There once lived a man whose appetite for the unknown ran an insatiable course. Richard was his name, but to most, he was simply Mr. Curiosity.
One day, after spending such a fine morning out in the forest, he puzzles at the familiarity. Suddenly, he wants to see more, to know more.
With nerves a rattle, he dashed home to confide in his father. It wasn't easy to convince one so close, but soon enough, Richard's father conceded his blessings. If Richard wanted to see the world, then by golly, he should see go and see it.
Richard was gone by dawn the next day, traveling towards the Midlands. Things weren't going so well at first, he might've even been ashamed to call himself a woods guide, but Midland hares were fast little devils. As the days wore on, his food scarce from prior hunting. Little did he know, his luck was forever changing.
After an intense exercising regimen, Richard stalks off to have a bath in a nearby stream when he's startled by the presence of another. She is beautiful to behold, such an encounter couldn't possibly be so random?
Since meeting that strange women in the middle of the forest, Richard's adventure seemed to had only just begun. He began to find trouble.
Playing hero has it's perks, he learns. But can never stay too long in one place, and seeks out other wonders the world might have to offer. But finds himself face to face with the woman from the forest.
Richard finds himself disappointed when he suddenly jerks awake, realizing that it had all be a dream, all the wonders he'd seen. And the woman, too.
Maybe for now, he'll put his adventures on hold.
