Realmwar - Level 1 | Jian Scavenging pt2

His surroundings got more dismal every day he traveled. Days after he killed his first hunt, a very thin Jian walked through terrain with the ever present thorns. Red sand had been replaced by dark, rocky ground, but still dry and dusty. Holes in the ground did not hold water, but fire emerged from them, angry and consuming. He had made sure to stay as far away from it as possible. The ingredient list seemed too long to complete, but Jian didn't feel exhaustion or hunger as he was anymore. There was only the feeling of emptiness left, while his body was bruised and battered, his right shoulder grazed bloody, and more cuts than he could count were on his legs. But he didn't feel any of it. Maybe it was Hannibal giving him strength. He had carefully avoided trying anything of the recipe he was crafting for the Lowlord. It was supposedly deadly and that was what he was trying to avoid in the first place. The deity had spoken about an upcoming war, which Jian had ignored until now, but he couldn't focus his mind on anything else today. A war. That meant fight and bloodshed. That meant death. He didn't think he could be a good fighter. He'd barely made these few kills a few days ago. He wondered who would dare challenge Hannibal for war. Just as he imagined the most horrendous undead creature his mind could come up with, his eye caught a glimpse of dirty white on the ground. A skeleton of a dead horse lay there. He carefully approached it, avoiding one of the big, fiery holes that burned his eyes. This one had been dead for a long time. Vultures had picked the bones almost clean, but maybe he could still salvage some of it for that dreaded Bloodfire potion. Hesitantly he broke off one of the thorn ranks nearby, was this another of Hannibals consorts? Had this been another Ballator on the quest for that damned potion? Would he himself end up dead on this journey? Would all the pain, hunger and thirst end in him being an ingredient for Hannibals mixture? No, he would not suffer that fate. He had refused to die that day Hannibal had sought him out and he would refuse to die every day moving forward. After minutes of utter silence he walked towards the fire, lighting the thorns to check out the skeleton.
