Choosing a Path
A small off-topic thought (inspired by the chapter title)
Life is a journey, and everyone chooses their own path. But that doesn't mean you have to follow the same path your whole life. You can always change course, especially since crossroads appear so often, and some of them lead to paths with fewer obstacles and that are easier to traverse. Often, these paths lead through the dark side of life. You can judge such people and say they are bad, but sometimes they simply have no choice; they lack the strength to follow a different path...
There are also paths that pass through the shadow of fear. You might think this is also a path of evil. No, it's a path where people overcome themselves and their fears. Yes, you can reach your goals faster on this path, and it may be easy, but to do so, you need to overcome yourself, your fears, your habits, your lifestyle, etc., even if you are happy with it. Do you think you need to do this? Why give up the good things you have, because this is the long, difficult, but true path that was mentioned at the beginning? No, you are mistaken; this is a path of deception and lies. It only resembles the path of truth. But it is still possible to correct it.
Therefore, I suggest you look at the path you are on. Look around, look back, imagine the future that this path will lead you to. Perhaps it is not at all what you wanted or what you were striving for? Maybe it's worth changing everything? And not just for yourself, but for those you love. Think about it...
Our journey to the river continued; we walked without stopping, and the peasants and soldiers were tired. When we reached a crossroads, we saw that the northern road was blocked by an Orc camp, and the western road was occupied by the undead. Dacin said that it would be better to break through the Orcs and go north, because on the western road, we would most likely be met by Necromancers (indeed, I tried to go that way and ended up at an island with an Undead castle). Well, I didn't argue, so we decided to go through the Orcs. The battle was not difficult; we managed to defeat both groups (screenshot attached). After killing the Orc leader, the path to the north was clear...
