It harassed us for two entire hours before we finally walked past the ridge. Fido never relented on his mission to murder us and didn’t make a great conversational partner either. Terrible date, wouldn’t recommend him to anyone, except Ellie. Because what are old friends for, if not to piss each other off?

It was worth it in the end. We'd made it to the mite fountain with about two hours of extra energy to spare. Had we taken any other detour, I’d probably be dragging bits and parts of Journey on the ground behind me and hoping Hecate’s Deathless abilities included speed outside of her armor. She was super human after all.
