# '''Temptation: Survival:''' I want to survive, as all living creatures do.
# '''Dedication: Learning: ''' The Fireside does not help those who do not help themselves. If I want to learn the secrets of survival, I shall need to find them myself.# '''Ascension: Learning: ''' I have learned the names of those esoteric plants that mortals can consume without danger, and how to recognise them. I have also learnt the names of those that are poison, and how to avoid them.# '''Ascension: Learning: ''' There are methods of hiding the body and the mind from detection, even whilst I sleep. These methods are known to me now.# '''Ascension: Learning: ''' I no longer need maps or compasses to find out where I am. Where I'm going is not important.# '''Ascension: Phrase: ''' I have left behind my home, and picked up the trace of the Fireside's travels. Now I must find him
# '''Ending''': I do not remember how long it took. Maybe months. Maybe years. All I know is that I met the Fireside, and showed him all I had learned. He was impressed, and told me that my dedication would be rewarded. His Scribe wrote my name in his log of the Fireside's travels, and now I am safe from all mortal threats. Safe to wander and explore, just as the Fireside himself does.
