Agna blazed a trail for us, and as the day wore on, I grew increasingly impressed with her skill. True to her word, she guided us safely through the goblins’ territory, bringing us to the shelter of a small cavern at the end of the day. The refuge was obviously a familiar one to her, and the rough ground inside was even furnished with several pelts to soften its rocky surface.

“We often use this place during our raids on the goblins,” she noted unnecessarily. “It should be secure enough for the night.”

Discretion required yet another cold dinner, and after a quick glance that Kyrah shook off, I began eating some of my rations. While I was glad that her hunger hadn’t returned just yet, I couldn’t help but wonder how long it might be before she needed to feed again. Considering how… profoundly we were both affected by the experience, doing so with Agna watching would definitely be quite awkward.

As I chewed on a mouthful of dry rations, I recalled the blinking light that had appeared in the corner of my vision after the fight. The interface was still unfamiliar to me, so it took a few minutes for me to bring up the messages that were waiting there.

Experience gained – You have gained 440 Experience Points (XP).

Experience gained – You have gained 440 XP.

Experience gained – You have gained 440 XP.

Quest completed – You have completed the hidden quest Acolyte. Gaining your first follower is quite an accomplishment. The question now is whether you will use your… notoriety to help others or for your own selfish purposes. You have been rewarded with 2200 XP.

Follower??? What the fuck?

With a set of ‘stats’ to work on and a definite goal to reach with what the interface labeled as ‘XP,’ I certainly appreciated knowing exactly where I stood in my quest for advancement. Yet I could’ve done without the message naming Agna as my ‘follower.’ I found it extremely disturbing to consider her in that light, even more so when I realized that the message only labeled her as my first. That was something my mind just wasn’t prepared to deal with right then, so I shoved the thought aside and closed the window.

“Where the hell were you just now?” Kyrah’s question rang out before my eyes could fully regain their focus.

“Nowhere,” I responded far too defensively. “I was just thinking, that’s all.”

The expression on Kyrah’s face told me she’d seen right through my blatant lie, so rather than deal with any further inquiries, I got up and began casting Create Trap, laying a series of snares across the cavern’s lone entrance. My attempted distraction utterly failed when it only roused Agna’s curiosity, and she gazed in wonder as the bright red outlines of the magic appeared on the ground before her eyes.

“What have you done?”

“It’s just another Spell of mine.” I tried to downplay my actions. “I’ve placed some traps around us that will capture any hostile creatures before they can cause us harm.
