Makena and Jordan follow spiritual "Caminos" (paths) toward the holy city of Santiago. Unsure of their futures, both hope to unburden some of their pain when they reach the legendary Iron Cross.

He probably hated that I was so cold towards the idea. Especially after the time we spent together this weekend. But I couldn't help it. This was me. I'm not going to commit to someone that I'm not in love with. When I emerged from the bathroom, he was getting ready to leave. He walked over to me, held me by the face and kissed me on the forehead. "Thank you for an amazing weekend." He said, quietly as he pulled me in for a hug. "Thank you for coming." I replied. A small part of me wanted to hold on to him forever but the rational thinker in me made me let go and pull away. He headed towards the door, before stopping, giving me a disheartened smile, and leaving. Man, I felt like a cold hearted bitch.......

It's not easy being a thief. You just don't get the same level of respect as fighters or clerics or those goody two shoes paladins. Heck, even wizards are held in higher regard. Stupid wizards with their stupid magic. Nobody trusts a thief for some reason. But really, what's a little petty larceny among friends? Thieves are supposed to steal stuff. It's part of the job description, for crying out loud. And you're definitely going to want a thief on your side when it comes to disarming a trap or needing to sneak up on some monsters or something without attracting their attention. The point is, thieves can be just as big of heroes as anybody else. On the other hand, they can also be gigantic jerkfaces. Fabian is a legendary hero and adventurer... in his own mind. People should have heard of his brave and noble exploits far and wide, except of course for the fact that they haven't. He is a pretty skilled thief though, even if he does have delusions of grandeur. Those dreams of being a hero are about to be put to the test in a major way as Fabian embarks on his biggest and most epic quest yet: finding some rich broad's missing cat. Dungeons will be explored. Fantastical creatures will be encountered. Monsters will be battled if they seem like they're weak enough to actually be defeated. And Fabian will attempt to lie, cheat, and steal from virtually everyone he meets. After all, that's what a thief does.
