"So I have no idea where we are going." I felt like killing Nidget wouldn't get me anything, but the satisfaction of the action would at least be worth it when my final moments came. We had at least gotten beyond the desert and into a swamp like region which didn't seem like one should be next to the other, but I'm not some kind of environmental person I have no idea.
"I couldn't tell Nidget, what with your charging ahead 'I know where I'm going' the whole time."
"Well that was to give you a feeling of confidence, I'm completely lost, I don't even know what continent we are on."
"I hate you so much right now Nidget."
"There it is, now this a proper adventure with a Lorentino." I was about to tell him where he can shove his adventure when we were stopped by another hooded cloaked fellow.
"WELCOME TO THE SWAMP OF MISERY."
"Let me guess your name is Ralph." I figured we'd get this started right.
"Oh god you guys ran into Tommy didn't you?"
"Yeah a couple weeks back."
"How did you wind up here, like if you were going for civilization you are way off." I scowled at Nidget, but at least the keeper of the swamp of Misery was nicer than I expected.
"Nidget's an idiot."
"Say no more, come come along lets get you something to eat."
"I thought you said this is the swamp of Misery?"
"Well I get pretty lonely and only half mad people dying of thirst normally swing by, so I put on some theater for them sue me." I wasn't going to find fault in someone being nice to us in this weird place, but I have to say the Swamp of Misery was pretty nice eventually. Maybe it just needs better marketing.
