"Remind me… which way did she say again?"
Xenos stood in the middle of a forest, a deep forest, trees around him like towers, their branches crossing above him in a seemingly endless green ceiling, making him appear like an intruder in a place he didn't belong.
'Go right after the boulder at the end of the path.'
Came Eris's voice in his head, soft as ever.
'We should see the mine there.'
He nodded, brushing a leaf off his shoulder.
"Right, the boulder. Got it."
'…You should try to remember these things.'
She nagged a little.
'I won't always be awake to remind you what or where the quest is.'
"Yeah, yeah, if I could forget less, I'd do it more often."
He kicked a stone off the path and started walking again, humming as he went.
Because yes, he was on a quest.
Sort of.
