The next day started just like any other. Desmond woke up, completed his aerobics workout, drank some green space milk and got ready for work. But as he exited his apartment in the morning, he heard someone screaming and shouting.

“Help! Help!” shouted a female voice down the hall.

Desmond turned to see that the shouter was his brother’s wife, Wiferson. Desmond rushed over to her.

“What is it? What do you need?” he asked.

“Help!” said Wiferson, “my husband, your brother, has been kidnapped and taken to the peak of the highest mountain on the nearby planet of Planet Town. I cannot live without him. He requires rescue!”

Desmond was shocked. His brother, Captivus, was his closet friend in the whole asteroid belt.

“Oh my god. I have to save him!” he said. “Upon which mountain was he taken?”

“The highest peak in all the land! He has been taken to… the Planet’s Peak.”

Desmond froze and shuddered in fear.

“OH MY GOD! NOT THERE! ANYWHERE BUT THERE!” he screamed. “How will we ever save him?”

“Somebody has to do it!” Wiferson said. “And it can’t be me! I have far too many excuses that require my character to stay behind.”

Desmond knew what to do. As much as he wanted to turn and run away, he had to accept the quest on his own. He knew deep down that he was the only one capable of achieving this task. He was the only one smart enough, strong enough and cunning enough to travel all the way to the Planet’s Peak and get to the top.

“I will do it!” he said, confidently. “I must. But I am a very scared person. I do not know if I am brave enough.”

“Of course you are!” replied Wiferson. She patted him on the shoulder. “You are brave enough to do anything! I recall a story when long ago, you did that brave thing and proved to everyone that you are brave.”

Desmond nodded his head. He remembered the story. Man, that was cool.

“You’re right. That did take bravery. Perhaps I can do it!” he said as a sudden rush of optimism overtook him.

Desmond turned back into his apartment and packed some provisions like space vegetables and space meat and whatever else space people eat and was ready to go. He stepped out of his apartment, looked down the hall and was off.

After only a few steps, he paused for a few seconds and let out a deep breath. This was it. He could stop now and turn back, or he could be brave and accept this quest.

He knew what he had to do. He continued forward and didn’t look back.
