“This is a good spot,” Bernard said, slowing down.

I stopped my horse, looking around. A tall oak tree just off the road would serve as a good spot to sleep for the night.

Sarah climbed off her horse.

“I’m so tired that I could sleep anywhere,” she said.

“We’ll set up our normal shifts,” I said as I got off my horse.

After tying up our horses, we started a fire under the tree. Bernard rolled a few logs over for us to sit on. The bag of Dawn Acid ingredients sat next to me.

“We did it,” I said, basking in the warm glow of the fire.

“I didn’t think we’d ever find all the ingredients,” Bernard said. “Especially at the end. We should’ve killed Rizzo and Sylvar earlier.”

“Agreed,” I said. “But we can’t change the past.”

Bernard stood and turned to me.

“I’m going to check the other side of that field for some dinner,” he said. “Be back in a few.”

“The wizards gave us rations,” Sarah said.

“I need some victory meat,” Bernard said as he walked away.

Sarah turned to me and smiled. I hadn’t seen her so happy in a while.

“We’re going to do this,” she said.

I nodded, returning her smile.

“Yeah,” I said. “We just need to find…”

I stopped mid-sentence as I saw a torch approaching on the road.

“What is it?” Sarah asked as I stood.

“Someone’s coming,” I said.

I pulled my sword and stepped toward the road.

A man without any weapons besides the torch rushed forward.

“Stop,” I commanded.

The man obeyed, a look of fear on his face.

“He’s coming,” the man said. “He’s coming for us all.”

“Who’s coming?” Sarah asked.

“The barbarian,” the man said. “The meanest half-orc ever bred in the badlands.”

I turned to Sarah.

“Josh?” she asked.

I turned back to the man.

“Describe this barbarian,” I said.

“What’s there to say?” The man shook his head. “He’s a half-orc, the vilest of all the creatures in all the realms.”

“Is he nearby?” Sarah asked.

The man shook his head.

“He headed back north to the Forbidden Lands. Everyone who follows Magictology is going that way. There’s talk of another Great War coming. I’ve got to warn the others.”

I stepped aside as the man continued down the path, mumbling to himself. Sarah took a deep breath. I could see anxiety in her elven eyes.

“Might be him,” I said. “We should probably head that way.”

She nodded and walked back toward our campfire.

I followed, wondering how to calm her fears.

We each sat down across the fire from each other.

“I say we go north to look for Josh,” Sarah said. “Maybe that’ll be good for the quest too. If not, it doesn’t matter.”

“Maybe,” I said, not wanting to upset her. “Don’t worry. We’ll figure it all out. No game can stop us when we’re together. Remember?”

She smiled briefly then looked away. Bernard walked up with two dead rabbits in his left hand. He held them out for us to admire.

“Good catch,” I said, not telling him about the man’s warning.

“Thanks.” Bernard sat down. “They should cook up nice.”

“We need the protein,” I said. “We’ve been battling so hard.
