"Then we shall go."
Brendon and his new travelling companion began their sprint across the land, heading East on the road that the others had taken about half an hour ago. Breondon was in good shape, but had to exort himself to keep up with this fellow who was as swift and tireless as the wind.
"Well, let me tell you what I know about the others...which is not much. I only met with them briefly, as we rallied together to come face this plague on the land together. They were very anxious to begin this journey, and I was more curious that an undead sage suddenly decided to take up residency in that treehouse back there just as we were leaving the scene. Not one to miss an opportunity of learning something new, I had to investigate, and I asked for a favor from him if he would make me a quiver that could hold a seemingly endless array of arrows, in turn for whatever magical or odd artifacts that I happen across on this journey. He didn't hesitate! Now I am glad that I was born with that streak of curiosity in me."
Brendon then stopped speaking for a bit to catch up on his breathing, as he was now laboring a bit more than his fleet-footed friend...
"Now, about the others...I...er...well...I know that we travel with an odd bunch. There's this guy named Morguerat that was involved in the dramatically epic battle against the legendary Mad Modding Mage of Ironworks. Morguerat nearly died in that battle and has fallen from the grace of his God, due to the poisonings in his body created by the Mad One. Let's see...there is a Chosen of Odin that is with us, and he is a very confident, and strong person. Won't need to worry about him. Then...let's see...there's another guy that was in the first war against the Mage that seems very eager to get going. He had a pet dragon in that battle that died, I think. Oh! and this lady with a pet lion. She is a newcomer to this land, and speaks shyly...but I think there is more to her than all that. She is probably the most curious of the bunch,,,well, next to you, that is. And me, but I am really a nobody. Just a common and curious adventurer that has been lured by the intruigues of venture. I think I have covered everyone."
Brendon stops again, not being able to speak anymore for the fire that is now erupting in his lungs. this run was going to kill him, before they ever met a monster to fight! yet he was too proud to ask for a break.
