Sherry packed her bags, doing her best to make sure she had everything she could possibly need. These quests, while not overly difficult, were taxing, and she had nearly starved to death last time. She was a little sad to see that her supplies had been cut this time, too, though not as badly as last time.

"Makes sense though," she muttered to herself. There were a lot of knights in the area, and they would all need to eat. Only so much could be spared for quests and the like. She would just have to make do.

"We can handle this, right, Stan?" She gave the horse a pat before swinging into the saddle. "Alright. Let's be off."

She rode along, not surprised to find it another gloomy day. And perhaps a little chilly. But weather was not something she would allow herself to complain about. There were far greater things to worry about, such as spiders and traps and giant fire monsters.

She was thankful that the land immediately around the castle was relatively free of such things.

In the light of this, a chilly day didn't seem bad at all, really. Sherry could even smile to herself. And perhaps hum a little tune. She didn't know the words, or where she'd heard it...or even if she'd ever heard it before. But she hummed away, and somehow it made the right that much more pleasant.

Sherry had forgotten about one thing the countryside did have.

The bees were pissed. Sherry and Stan must have ridden right over them.

It ended much the way it had before. With Sherry on the ground and Stan running off into the sunset, alone aside from a horde of bees chasing him.

There would be no more songs that day.

The forest was warmer, somehow. Sherry didn't think she liked that fact. She knew that decaying things were warm, and living things. She didn't want to think about either of those waiting just off the forest path. She would rather think that the forest acted as some sort of blanket for itself, keeping heat under its canopy. That was a much more pleasant thought.

There were lots of other pleasant things to think about, too, and Sherry might have even thought about if she hadn't noticed the bag settled in the middle of the path.

It looked like it had fallen from a horse or maybe even a cart. Sherry, trusting as ever, walked right up to the parcel and opened it. "I hope someone didn't need this," she said.

The bread was very stale, indicating it might have been there some time. But there were other things inside the bag. Things Sherry could eat. Sherry didn't see the point in letting anything go to waste, so she took it. All of it. Even the stale bread.

She was not going to starve this journey.

The forest gave way to mountains.

The path this time was marred by the tracks of some great beast, one that had possibly been on fire. Sherry walked with care. Quietly, slowly, inch by inch, constantly listening for any hint of monster or trap.

She found neither. What she did find was a cart, and several bodies, possibly those of knights. The knights had burned. The cart had not.

A quick inspection of said cart revealed even more food. Food which Sherry more than happily added to her ever growing stores.

"Hm. It is probably failed caravans like this that make them give me less supplies." Because there was less to go around, of course. Surely no one expected her to scavenge.

She said a few kind words for the dead, and then carried onwards.

Sherry left the dreaded mountain pass behind and made her way up the hill. There was a familiar face waiting for her at the top of this hill. Once again, the old man shoved food in her arms and then ran away.

Sherry didn't even know what to think about him anymore.

So, she turned to the item she was supposed to get. Some kind of shoulder pad. Hm. Okay then. Time to return home.
