>>5824409>The things you'd seen, sea giants of impossible aspect, mermaids, hulking wrecks of ancient battle, strange colored fish, it boogled the mind and paled the soul but it was all true, you would not deny that, let them call you mad, you had seen the truth of things. [+1 on a unknown path]>Path REVEALED: Strange shades>Perk gained>QM is currently reworking path perks, for now I will offer +1 reroll in place of a permanent talent for as long as you are at wounded condition.You gave a hoarse chuckle, you were mad, you had seen things, impossible things but they were as real as you, tangible, knowable, the world would mark you for it, let them do so, they are no less right about it then you are but better to see the truth of things than to remain blind to the truth of things. Your body ached and your throat was raw, Fatigue lingered in every part of you even at rest, you were entirely spent it seemed, your head ached and there was a deeper throb at the back of it, your breath came short and quicker than you would like with a irregular drumbeat of your heart, it would be so easy to rest…
Your eyes opened to the soft splash, for a moment you feared a shark or some other prey but it only seemed a fish of strange size had breached the surface some distance from you though its tail seemed strangely coloured, you shook your head, the world still felt strange as if something had put it off centre from you so that it tilted, maybe it had always been like this? And with new eyes you were seeing it for what it was.
You felt watched eyes upon you, vulnerable as you were it did not make you feel wanted and you wished just for a moment for a cloak or blanket to wrap yourself in, your gaze shifted to the water, compared to the cutting chill of the surface it seemed warm and pleasant even if it had nearly killed you, for the briefiest moment you thought you saw a pair of eyes watching you, you thought of the girl, she seemed half a dream, the half dream memory of her against you made you stir, you might have cringed on land but in the water it only seemed to stir your desire for the axe again, you had been be so <span class="mu-g">SO</span> close to it, something in your blood told you, maybe if you were lucky the girl would visit you again, she could kiss you again, lay with you even, the stir became fierce and you almost dived again for its thrill.
