Rowida cried hot tears as she ate some fruits and drank water from the spring she slept beside last night, for three months she had to walk westwards, only stopping when hunger was too much to bear, and sleep was strong to overcome.
They gave her one canteen of water, and a knife, and if not for her survival instinct, she would have died twenty times over.
She couldn’t resist the urge long, she had to stand up and walk, or else, the pains would attack every inch of her body.
Although her feet were blistered, and her knees, hips and feet always were sore, the pain from the compelling spell was twenty time worse, so, she had to walk alone for ten hours at least each day.
She didn’t know why, but for some obscure reason, all magical creatures avoided her, her only challenges were big cats or the occasional wolf, and she could manage those.
She didn’t know whether it was her diminished aura or the spell put on her by the purple mage which pushed the magical creatures away, but she was resentful of this fact with all her being, she would have welcomed a swift death against an unbeatable opponent far more than her horrible existence.
She stood up, stifled a moan of anguish, and started to walk, forever westwards.
