Suddenly this kid walks into the tent where I'm laying. He just looks at me.
"You don't remember me?" He asks sadly.
"I'm sorry" I say, "I don't remember anyone.
"Not even Orion?" He asks.
"No..." I say flatly.
"Oh" He says and promptly walks out again.
Well that's one way to do it, crush the boy's feelings,
"I'm not in the mood," I whisper.
I'm only stating the obvious, you crushed his spirit. You hurt him.
"I told the truth. Truth hurts" I mumble.
Combative.
Camille walks back in and u immediately stop arguing with the voice.
"Sorry about Roger," she says. "He can be a little insensitive."
"It's okay," I say "but I do have a question, who is Orion?"
"The reason you're like this," she says gesturing to my shoulder where I was shot.
"He shot me?" I ask confused.
"Might as well have." She says bitterly. "Try and rest." She says and leaves again.
I lie on my back and stare at the ceiling of the tent. And a little while later another person walks in.
"I know how to fix you." He says.
"Shen I assume?"
"Sorry, yes. But I know how to fix your memory." He says breathing heavily like he was running.
"Enlighten me." I say.
"I have found a map. A quest if you will."
"And this quest will magically restore me to my former glory?" I ask.
"Potentially. But there's a catch. You'll have to go alone." He says cautiously.
"Okay when do I leave?" I ask.
Twenty minutes later Mt arm is in a sling, I have a backpack full of supplies and a really old map. Let's go 'fix me'.
