A heavy boot crunches down on the decaying debris that covers much of the ground beneath it. The sound had become the symphony of his stride. The twilight sky above had not left him for what should have been many days and nights by now, instead following him monotonously as he walked drudgingly over the barren landscape. 
The very air itself tasted foul, and there was naught vegetation to be found. For Arex it had become obviously clear that he had been abandoned here to die. But Arex didn't die so easily. 

Arex marched endlessly, without direction. He walked for so long that his mind retreated from thought and he basically became an autonomous machine. He had long since lost track of time when the dull flat scenery finally broke and gave way to a petrified forest. 

It was in there that he found a hermit rancher who's sanity was far waning. Having fallen in love with the few remaining beasts that he had, the rancher refused to eat them. Instead living on a diet of charcoal, petrified wood and unwary visitors. Arex put the wiry old man out of his delusional misery. He added him to the many skulls of aboriginals and his once suspected family that filled the dugout basement beneath the little shack. Finally Arex could eat and rest. 

Time passed as he regained his strength. He dwelled here in recovery for some time. Amongst the shambles of clutter that fill the abode Arex stumbled across info of the Karnorouri’s Pillar. The rancher was seemingly obsessed with it. Chalk notes of nonsense were littered through out pages of books and piled in draws. Scribbles and sketches reached across furniture and walls. Admits all the madness Arex found interest in what the man sought to uncover. 
Maybe the insanity was becoming infectious.  
Maybe he just saw something of truth and promises in the blurry darkness.

Either way, over the next few days he would eat the last wild pig-like creature and then with a few decipherable notes in hand head off in the direction of the pillar in search of 'Doch Moi' and its lost treasures.
