Chapter Eleven: A Giant Surprise

Cold air from the northeast swoops over the prairie land situated between the Eastern and Western Splits. After riding for a good hour, we stumble upon a communal campground, noted for its circular pattern of rocks, and take refuge in the shared safe space that doesn’t allow combat within its perimeter.

The frigid wind reminds me of where we’re going – the Rune Lands – and the change in temperature makes me regret not starting a fire. After fending off the pyro-afflicted, a burning campfire was the last thing I wanted to see.

That, and the fact that my skin is still hot from the flames an hour later, keeps me from gathering brush and equipping my fire-starter kit.

Deathdale rests next to Wolf and for all I know, she may log out in the morning as soon as she wakes. She did that once before, on Karuna Island, and if she logs out I will again be alone, my only companion a giant Tagvornin wolf and the voice in my head.

It’s not that bad, Oric.

You’re right, Eric.

“No worries,” I tell myself as I sit down with my back against one of the big rocks making up the perimeter of the camping space. I wouldn’t mind cuddling up next to Wolf, or Deathdale for that matter, but I don’t quite know how she would react to wake up next to me, and I’d rather not be boiled alive from the inside like the pyro-afflicted she killed.

I’m surprised that even worked.

I’ve dealt with the pyro-afflicted before, those damn flaming zombies, back when I was mayor of Ducat. A group of ten or so came from the Eastern Splits and we were lucky to defeat them.

You didn’t defeat them, I remind myself. Like anyone with enough money and power, I let others fight my battles for me.

“And now you are the last warrior,” I whisper half-jokingly as sleep comes over me.

Part of me wants to chastise myself for this, especially after some of my actions over the last two days, but there is nothing about the “last warrior” moniker that says I need to be moral, or just for that matter.

It simply is how the Obelisk has christened me – branded me.

As I blink my eyes shut, I’m suddenly standing in the lagoon in Hashmonean, the Obelisk before me in her stunning dragonfly-esque armor. Golden glitter is splashed across her face and her disco-ball eyes are locked onto me. As she moves towards me, four vampiric mermaids lift from the water, their naked breasts perky and their wet hair matted to their faces.

“You’ve been busy,” the Obelisk says, her voice that of a thousand hissing insects.

“Is this real?”

She rolls her head back on her shoulders. “Does it matter?”

“This is a dream.”

“Your life is a dream.”

“I am dreaming within a dream.”

“You are.”

“Why have you come here?”

“To remind you of your task.”

“I was betrayed,” I whisper, bringing things back down to the real-enough world. “Governor Talonas tricked me. He killed Sam Raid; he killed all those people.
