What now?
Wont go far
You ride for a while, but just as your heart begins to fill with quiet and ease, your gentle guide stops. "You should come down now gentle Yuliana"
"... Why? there is bound to be more Orcs coming this way" You hesitates following his command. "Are you wounded? Hurt?" You are actually surprised to hear genuine concern in your voice, perhaps because the stallion did save you.
"Hoghar may forgive a fleeing lass, but he wont forget the beast that almost killed him. He will track me down and kill me, and there is nothing that can be done about that." there was a certain surety in his voice, and it made you feel... guilty. Even if this was just a stupid game. 1 and 0s.
"We took him once! we can take him again." You try to fight the despair in your voice, but you felt the tears welling in your eyes.
"Dont cry, gentle Yuliana. We are just like morning dew, ephemeral in our exhistance. If we can sacrifice ourselves for the greater good, we should do it without hesitation." What kind of sappy bullshit was this? you sob pitifully.
"I dont want you to die, I dont even know your name". You feel your feet touching the ground, and he moves so he is facing you. "It is Gwadayliechdawynnobar" you wish you had the control to laugh over the absurdly unpronounceable name, but as he touches you with his horn you feel the wounds in your body vanish. "Take care, Yuliana. I dont know whenever or not you will truly renegade the Bard's mission, but he is a fickle one, and I pity your fate if you follow down that path. Take care"
And with that he gallops away, leaving you alone in the forest.
You take stock of the situation

... why is your luck at -2? it seems to impact everything in your sheet. Is this because of some Patron bullshit?
|Max Health 88 |---|Max Stamina 158|---|Max Concentration 83|
|Current Health 88 |---| Current stamina 30 |---| Current Concentration 83|
... you still felt very tired, but at least your wounds were healed. You touch your throat, where the Orc grabbed you, and feel your heart quicken. You have the gnawing certainty that you would meet him again.

Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books. This story is also being posted on Royal Road and Scribble Hub.
