"THANKS BE TO THE GODS!" As the mighty White Stag went down, kicking its last, Antaeus practically fell to his knees with arms thrown out wide. Breathing heavy, sweat pouring down his body, his muscles aching due to the constant tension caused by fear, hands beginning to shake from the adrenaline rush, he looked towards the wild Orc man. If not for his experience working in the mines with the Boss and her crew, he might have been afraid--after all, for all he knew this was an Orc raider or bandit of some kind. But that didn't even occur to him, as seeing an Orc was a daily thing for the young miner. Instead he felt an incredible sense of relief.

Then panic struck him as his memory refreshed.

"Sir, she needs help!" he called to the Orc as he scrambled towards the silver haired girl. Antaeus was no doctor, but as an elder brother he had treated a few of his sister's scrapes, and he had grown up watching his mother treat anyone in the family who came down with a cold or injury. Still, he didn't know if there was anything he could do about this. How hard had the Stag hit her, to cause bleeding like this...?

"C'mon, miss, please don't die!" he said as he did whatever he could, gulping nervously. She, and the Orc too, had pretty much saved his life--if it hadn't been for them, he had no doubt in his mind he could never have overcome the stag, even if he had tracked it and trapped it. But a real Hero wasn't supposed to sacrifice others, or let them get hurt for his sake...the Hero was supposed to sacrifice himself for others!

Antaeus had realized long ago that he was in over his head. Being a Hero wasn't going to be as simple as he thought. He wasn't going to be good at it just because he was strong. But right now, he couldn't think about that. Just like fighting the stag. Just like working the mines. Make your brain shut up. Turn off all the bad thoughts--about Dad, about everything--and just do it. Push the cart. Swing the pickaxe.

Save the girl?

[hider=Quest Log]
+Bookie has agreed to write a letter to Captain Ork at the Garrison. I should kill an animal in the forest and take it to Captain Ork to prove I'm adventuring material.
--The animal can be anything from the Forest. Bookie suggested a deer or a boar.

+Barthen has requested me to hunt a White Stag in the Forest, and has given me a free hunting trap for this purpose. If I don't succeed I should probably bring the trap back.
[s]--I should try to find the Redchaser, she might be able to help me.[/s]

+Barthen is paying 1 GP per pound of Medicinal Herbs from the forest.
