As we started climbing the mountain, Simmel started off by finishing to calm me down by saying that he was not a threat to me and that I should consider him my guardian angel. Ironically he looked more like a demon to me, but I knew he meant no harm.

Simmel started explaining what there was to do, as I was now immediately signed in into an adventure, when I never really signed up for this...

We soon however reached the top of the mountain.
I couldn't hide the fact that I found him a little bit bossy from him, but he couldn't hide the fact that he found me a little bit annoying because of my cluelessness from me.

As we gazed upon the vast lands that we could see from the top of the mountain, we started planning our route even though I had no idea why or where we were going, I was just a carry on, which made me question further, questions Simmel would ignore.

"We must travel north Andy, we will reach Kiosk village in a few days"
"Kiosk?"
"It's the name of the village, just like you have a name, villages have their own names as well..."
"I see"

Soon enough, the light started fading, we were not prepared at all so we had to build a small shelter.

I saw a creature getting closer to me, the frightening gaze of the creature had frozen me in place, which made me unable to run back to shelter, but suddenly, I saw the creature disintegrate into thin particles thanks to strange blue waves, that gave a calm sense to my eyes, as if I was witnessing something magnificent bestowed upon my gaze, a sea of energy that would scare away the darkness of the night for a quick moment.
"Be careful Andy, not everything is good, I used a lot of energy on this"
"..."

We went back to the shelter after I grabbed this strange eye that the creature had dropped, and after all the pain and fear I had withstood, I fell asleep with ease.

As the morning came, the bright cube at the top of the sky shone its powerful rays towards my eyes, forcing them open. And then, hoping it was all a dream, I slowly turned around, wishing that I would not find Simmel, yet he is exactly what I saw.

He had watched upon me all night, as I soon found out that he does not sleep, he just has a profound stare, kind of like the creature from last night, which made me feel slightly disturbed, but I knew I could trust Simmel, he meant no harm towards me.

"We need to start walking towards the village, I get that you're tired but if we don't go now, we will have to sleep in the swamps"
"..."

I stood up slowly as I still had some concentrated pain in a few areas of my body, and we started walking north...
