"What is it?" We had resumed moving, the creature that was hunting us kept doing it hunting from a distance. Well I said us, but I'm pretty sure it was me it was after.
"I don't know, the man who sent me on this quest told me it was the sum total of my fears, which I don't know how it could only be something small since my fears take up this entire island." What can I say I don't let one thing scare me, I let all things scare me.
"You agree to things without knowing very much about them don't you?"
"So you're memory is coming back!" The assent up the mountain was getting harder, I could feel fatigue with each step, then again as I've said several times I am horrifically out of shape. Oshujon didn't seem worse for the journey, then again I'm sure despite his griping he was just happy to get out of his cage.
"No this is a brand new observation, let me guess in my previous life I made you do things you didn't agree with."
"Several things, but I went along with it because as you mentioned I'm very easy to convince."
"Well I think this journey is a fools errand, I'm stopping here, you can walk the rest of this mountain yourself." He dropped his pack on the ground and sat down.
"What about the thing that's hunting us?"
"Its probably hunting only you, I'll make sure to say hello to it as it passes me by, don't worry I'm sure the natives will collect me and put me back into my cell." I frowned, I had taken Oshujon on the journey hoping it would jog his memory/I didn't want to be alone. But now he was leaving me, and all I could do was nod, pick up his pack and continue. I had a quest to finish and a beast of something or other to slay. I tell you the more I thought about this quest, the more I thought I should probably have made a better attempt at figuring out what was pursuing me before continuing up the mountain. In a lot of ways it was an example of my whole life, doing one thing while ignoring certain doom coming from below!
