Something about the fact that his end came at the tip of a man made arrow, and not a wild animal, gave him comfort even as he passed out.

Every time he left the castle to attempt another success, he felt the heavy weight bearing down on him from the knowledge that he was leaving her alone with him. Robert felt helpless when he considered how little of a chance he had. She shared the same concerns with Dillon, not him. (Concern? If there were multiple books, did it count as multiple concerns?) She did not yearn for glory and the promise of adventure. She did not yearn for him the way he found himself yearning for her.
And why? Why was he so obsessed with this particular conquest? Perhaps that was all it was, he tried to convince himself. Perhaps his failure had rendered her the sweetest fruit beyond his reach, and therefore the only one he wanted.
Time would tell.

His mind was muddy with distraction and discontent. If he was going to find the treasures that he'd been searching for, he would have to remember how to focus. He would have to learn to get the sight of her eyes out of his mind. He would have to stop smelling the scent of her on the wind. He would have to stop walking where there was no ground, sending him plummetting down into the ravine below.

The fall was hard on his body, but his pack had so little food in it already that it lost nothing but a wedge of cheese.

To travel alone was a burden, especially for someone such as he. He thrived on the sound of voices and laughter, especially the gentle tinkle of a woman's giggle. He wanted revelry and joy, but all there was in the forest was peace, solitude, and silence. It unsettled him, but it unsettled his horse even further. The poor beast had to stop, and Robert couldn't blame him. He dismounted and patted Galaxy down, giving her a thorough rubdown before he took the sack of food off of her back and heaved it over his own shoulder. "It's all right, girl." He whispered, resting her head against hers for a moment before he began the journey anew on foot. "I'm tired, too. I understand." STEP TWO Quote: Rolling a 3: Your horse gives up on you, running away. Every turn you take, you must subtract another additional 5 food from the caravan. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 4 YOUR HP: 30

He was thankful for the little blessings, such as how well he'd done so far without much in the way of food stock. He was thankful for the fact that his horse was managing, even if she was too tired to carry him anymore. There was much to be thankful for, but when the food ran out and he found himself too far from the castle to turn back, and too far from his destination to make it, he knew that he was going to need a miracle to survive. It just so happened a miracle was waiting for him at the end of the longest road, in the form of a box of dry food that looked as if it had been waiting for him all along. He opened it up and began to pack the food away in his satchel, in order to carry it over his shoulder again. "I bet it's her, Galaxy." Robert told the horse. "Making me immortal again." STEP THREE Quote: Rolling a 6: You find a small supply crate from the last group of knights who tried to attempt this! +10 food QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 9 YOUR HP: 30

It wasn't hard to believe that his luck had finally made a turn for the better. When he dragged his horse into the summit, he tied her up at the tree before the highest hill, and continued alone on foot. All he had left were a few scraps, and his pride. But oh, how far his pride could carry him when he felt truly worthy. He dug his heels into the rock and he climbed, until he reached the highest peak and found himself a pair of pants. They were lovely, impeccably designed, but not quite his color. Blue, and black, or - wait, now that he touched them, and held them up to the light.. "Gold and white!" He cried out, twisting them to see their shine. "It's my lucky day after all." When he descended the mountain wearing his new pants, he was overjoyed with his success. But as he rode back to the castle, he realized the joy was waning into something just a little less brilliant. Leaving her alone with the boy, for a pair of pants. Suddenly, he did not feel so lucky, after all. STEP FOUR Quote: Rolling a 5: Somehow, you made it safely. Somehow. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 4 YOUR HP: 30
