chapter 10 - The beast within part 2

William Pov

Me and void started following the small creature and the golem but, we kept a safe distance from it and oddly enough I felt safer around void more than that thing on the golem.

While we were walking I was snacking on the berries void gave me earlier and it's just to hold more over for a while but not enough to get me full.

The taste wasn't bad but it wasn't good either and it was just something so juicy when you eat that when you bite down it gives a different flavor.

Then I broke the silence when I asked the creature a question.

William: where are you taking us?

She spoke to me without even turning her back towards me when I asked the question.

Fable: I am taking you to a safe place called the "house of the lost" a place where deadprice told me to bring y'all to.

William: and how far is it?

Fable: a few more miles and we will be there.

When she said it was a few more miles from here it is either going to take forever or it won't be too long.

Then a few more moments of silence the golem stopped.

Fable: we should stop here for the night and set up a fire.

I looked at the sky and it is starting to get dark.

Fable: mortal, what's your name?

William: my name is William.

Fable: ok William, my name is fable and I have a task for you. I need you to find some sticks for the fire.

William: simple enough.

Fable: and for you, sorrow beast, I need you to find some rocks so we can contain the fire in one spot.

Void: I have a name you know.

Fable: well then would you like to share then.

Void: my name is void.

Fable: well void, you could go get some rock so-

Void: yeah, I heard you the first time.

I wandered off to go look for some sticks for a fire so we can get ready for dark.

Timeskip 30 minutes

After a little bit of time I found some sticks and back to the place we were going to set a fire and once I got there everyone was gone except that rock golem that deadprice calls him a puppet.

It was just standing there with an emotionless expression on it's face and it is honestly creepy how it is just standing there.

William: I wish I could just get this bounty over done and over with already.

I drop the sticks on the ground and I decided to get a close look at the rock golem. Then when I took a closer look at it I saw some symbols on there body.

William: what does this mean?

I touched it's arm and it feels like it is made from a odd type of material and I can hear it like it was breathing.

William: I wonder can I chip a small piece of this thing and see what it is made out of.

I take my knife out and I try to take a small piece of if it by cutting down a small part of its horn. I had to stand on my toes because of how tall it is and I started to saw at the horn and after a little bit I managed to break a small piece of it.
