You wander away from the town, your steps sluggish, travelling over rolling hills and among clumps of tall grasses and flowers.

You must be heading north - seen as it must be about early afternoon, the sun above you and a little to your left.

After a while you come across a small, burbling spring emerging from some jagged boulders. It trickles down into a small stream that curves off into the distance, northwards.

"Are these...fish? Wait, are you trying to find that fish the merchant wanted in exchange for the sword?"

It must have been the practice. Just as you are a few metres away from it, its head perks up and its ears twitch. It hasn't seen you yet - it must have heard you.

I freeze and wait for it to go back to eating.

He nods solemnly, still looking guilty for dragging you out all the way here in the middle of the night after him.

After a while Skywhisper touches it. "Yes, that's better," he says. "I'll insulate it now."

He takes it back and curls round it, covering it up and keeping it warm. "Now we just need to rest. We'll have another couple of days yet before we reach the Western territories."

It stays alert for a few more seconds, before cautiously nibbling at the grass and then relaxing again completely.

I take another step toward it.

I scoot over to Skywhisper and go to sleep.
