So… What should I do with this baby? There’s a few options I can take. I can leave it there. I can take it with me. I can take it out and leave it lying out in the open… I’m sure someone will walk by at some point… Right? Or is this path not used at all? Nah… Paths exist to be used. What use would a path be if no one used it? Hmm…. Then again… If I just leave this baby out here, a wolf is probably going to come by and… Yeah… No need for gruesome images here! Right… But if I take a baby with me… What would the point be? Could it help me? Not really…
Let’s just camp here for now… And before I forget there’s a baby here, let’s take it out. Hmmm… Nice and bloody bodies in the way… And let’s be lazy. I’ll just absorb them while I get the baby out… Now that I think about it. What do babies eat?
Whatever, I’ll just feed it some cooked meat… Babies can eat meat right? And… Are babies supposed to be bald? I mean… It doesn’t look like a newborn baby or something… And I’m pretty sure that babies grow their hair out quite soon… Unless it takes time? I don’t know. I never took care of children before… So… Should I try to shove the meat into it’s mouth? I suppose that works…
It’s not biting the meat. What should I do? Please help. Someone, someone please. I need help… Actually, shouldn’t the baby be crying? After all, it’s being held by a stranger… Whatever, I’ll worry about it later…
So… This means I should just leave the baby here right? If I take it with me, it’ll die, if I leave it here, it’ll die. I’m not being cold hearted by saying that even if I take the baby with me, it’ll die. It’s that I don’t know how to take care of it… Which means that it’ll starve to death… Or some other horrible way of dying. Who knows. Or maybe I should just find an orphanage and drop the baby down… Yes… This way, I don’t have the babies blood on my hands, not that they ever were, and I can save them. Good deeds for days.
Forwards! To the next town! Actually, is there even a town close by? I guess I’ll just run at full speed… Hyping myself I start at at small jog and then start to pump my legs faster and faster until I’m sprinting as fast as my legs can carry me. Is that… A turn? A TURN? SHIT!!! Turn body, TURN!!!!!!
Nope. Going straight off the path I threw the baby at the ground, so that it wouldn’t get smashed by trees, just as I smashed into the first tree, and into the next tree. Splinters flying around me, I finally come to a stop lying face up.
Would you look at that? There’s one moon in the sky! I thought there would be two moons or something… Actually. Why haven't I ever looked up at the sky? Do I have some phobia of looking at the sky or something? Whatever… Actually. The sky… Isn’t fully black… It… It has some sort of blue lining to everything. Like the world is covered by a big blue sphere… But maybe it’s only for this region? Maybe other regions don’t have this weird blue lining to everything?
Oh yeah. What happened to the baby? Slowly standing up, I see a large row of trees that have been blown out of the ground. Hmmm…. What stopped me?
Ah… It’s a massive boulder… So I smacked a boulder, bounced off, did a few front flips and landed face up? Not bad for an acrobatic stunt… But I should probably get back to the baby… Did I mention the baby was bald? I think I did…
But man, I sure flew for a while… I mean, it wasn’t that long of a walk back, but… Wow, I had to hit a boulder to stop instead of a few trees huh… Actually, is my tank fine?

That can’t be too bad… Let’s just take the… What is that? What is this bloody mess? Ah… Poor baby… It’s been smashed to bits and pieces… Not my fault. I was busy flying through the air and smacking trees…
Let’s just leave… The baby’s death wasn’t my fault… The parents should have done a better job of protecting their own child… I tried to help but failed… At least I tried to help. Yup. The attempt is all that matters. Yup, not the result. Yup. I’m not trying to run away. What are you talking about? I don’t know what you’re talking about… La la laaaaaaaaaa… The baby’s death wasn’t my fault.

Hmmm… Lets just leave before someone finds out I was here. Let’s just follow this path… Let’s fiddle with my… Screen thing? What do I call this? No clue. Hmmm… I want to call this a status window, but it’s not really a window… It just lists what’s there and what isn’t… I guess this screen thing will never have a name then…
Has anyone gone walking for a day before? If so, I’m surprised. I can’t believe any of you guys can be so sporty… Well… Walking isn’t a problem but boredom is… I really don’t like this… Oh boy… I don’t even know where the next town could be…
Oh wow. It seems like I backtracked… What? Now that I think about it… Did I check my map before heading out? I don’t remember… But anyways. I’m back to where I started at the very beginning… You know. That place with the cars. The place that is apparently the rich kid town. I wonder if I’ll encounter the same bandits? I do have to walk back now anyways…
“Boss! This guy is walking!” Say’s a voice in the trees.
No seriously? I just mentioned you. You didn’t have to be so eager to pop out you know… Should I deal with them like before? I… I don’t know… But… Using magic is a pain… And what if I have to use it for emergencies… Not that anything could endanger me… Except for… Hmmm… What was it that worried me so much? Hmmm… Whatever.
“No wait, don’t attack! This is the same level five mage I was talking about earlier, don’t attack.” Said another voice.
Oh. So it was the same exact group from that other time.
“Why is he walking in the same direction again?” Said the first voice.
I don’t know. Because I’m lost?
“Maybe he’s on a patrol mission?” Said the boss.
No… I’m just lost… But I already know where this path leads, so I’ll just follow it for now…
Guess I’ll just keep walking along this long lonely path… I wonder if someone will jump out of the trees while being chased by a group of evil people? Who knows. Anything could happen.
And as if on cue, someone ran bursting out of the bushes. Called it! But I was hoping for a pretty woman or something… This… This is a just a guy holding a baby. A baby? Not again… I hope you don’t ask me to-
“Please! Please good sir! Please take of this baby for me!” Pleaded the man.
Umm… What about no?
“Thank you! Thank you so much!” Thrusting the baby into my arms the man ran back the direction he came. A few moments later a piercing scream broke through and birds scattered in all directions.
Um… I’m bad with babies you know… Looking down, I saw the baby looking back up at me.
“Let’s go look for your parents.” I mean, his parents could’ve been that dude that just got murdered, but what about the mother? I’m sure I can find the mother… Oh wait. This baby has the same clothes as the last one… Don’t tell me. Royal twins or something? Maybe I should go back the way I came and go to the rich kids town. The baby probably belongs there, right? Right.
“You there! Hold up!” Says a voice.
