It’s not like I begrudged them the water—goodness knows they need it far more than I do—but you go through all the trouble of packing certain things. It’s the devil to lose them.

Okay, fine. You caught me. I would have brought them more, but I can only take so much with me. It’s not easy Traveling such distances.

This isn’t the most comfortable lodging, but it will do for now. Eons know I’ve stayed in much worse. It’s not like I’ll be sleeping anyway. I have to keep watch and be ready. Play my part.

The skull wasn’t meant for them. It was meant to scare me off. It didn’t do its job. There is no way to get rid of me. That is something my adversary will not understand for a long, long time.

So busy trying to control the world, shaping the timeline, that you can’t even see the truth in front of your face!

Well, I’m not scared.

I can’t be scared off when I’ve already seen the worst that could happen.
