All the tendrils fly at me at once, but a shield appears around me and they fizzle out when they hit it. The fists come down again, but I hurl two axes through the monster’s arms, breaking them apart. Then the creature concedes and turns to dust. “Was that so hard?” I tell myself. Then I feel a thump to my back. I turn around to see Jestro once again pointing his staff at me. “You…you think that was the hard bit?” he says “Now…now you gotta face…face me!” As always, he’s terrified. “Oh, Jestro,” I say “You haven’t changed a bit. Last time I let you go. This time…I wont allow that” He tries to run, but a cylinder appears around him, like a spider in a glass. I walk through the cylinder like it wasn’t there and swing my sword, sending him to the ground. Then I start pummelling him. i can hear him screaming for mercy. “Stop!” ‘I’m good at being bad!’ “I surrender!” ‘I’m better than you!’ “Please!” ‘Well, whose the one on his knees?’ “I'm begging you!” ‘Why do you bow down to him?’ “Just stop” “HE’S RIGHT, BLADE!” I hear someone behind me. I turn to find Arrow standing there. His shoulder pads are glistening orange, proving Stronghold of Resolution is still working. Jade looks like she’s waking up too. “LOOK WHAT YOU’RE DOING!” He shouts. “I’m doing the right thing,” I reply “How many people has he butchered? How many people have had their lives wrecked by him? We can’t keep him alive.” “I thought you were a good man, Blade.” “I still am.” He draws his bow “I’m sorry, Blade. I’m so, so sorry.” He lets his Arrow fly, but it is absorbed into the cylinder. “I’m not” I send a wall of shadow flying at him. It hits him, but he stands firm “How…?” “Stronghold of Resolution, Blade. come fight me, and you may stand a better chance.” “Challenge accepted” I teleport from Jestro to Arrow and swing my sword round, but he jumps over it. Then I feel a pain in my back and the power goes. Jade. Her dagger Is in my back. I fall to the floor. My vision swims. She’s poisoned it with some sort of sleep potion. As I close my eyes, I hear Arrow and Jade talk. “Were you really sorry about this?” Jade asks. “No,” Arrow replies “Not anymore.” Then I fall asleep.

Interlude “Do you remember that, Blade?” the Nightmare asks in it’s hissing voice “Your friend giving up on you?” “You…you…forced…me to use…the Dream Stone” I say. My eyes are still closed, so Nightmare’s trying to tease me out of it by making me fall asleep into…well, what do you think? “I had no part in that,” it says “You used the Dream Stone on your own accord. You keep blaming me on your fall from grace, but in truth it was your lust for power.” “I NEVER WANTED THE POWER!” I shout, struggling against the coils holding me “What can I say? Desperate men do desperate things. And admit it, you enjoyed it. The shadow control, the strength, the teleporting…” “Because you were clouding my judgement. No, not even that, you were controlling me!” It laughed “Of course I wasn’t! You knew perfectly well what Jestro had done and that he should be brought to justice.” “Yes…but not like…not like that.” “Stop fooling yourself, Blade. He deserved what he got.” I can’t stay awake much longer. I look up and open my eyes, but Nightmare's grinning face comes into view and I close them instantly afterwards. Even with my fast reactions, I feel my will dissipate rapidly in that one moment. “Admit it Blade” the vile creature hisses “This is the one fight you can’t win.” He’s right. I can’t hang on much longer, and even if I do no one can help me. “Although…” Nightmare suddenly interrupts my thoughts “There is that other time…” “No…” I whisper “Not that time…not there…” “That time,” I hear the hissing voice say “When you were on trial. Did you enjoy that, Blade? I certainly did.”

I start to wake up. I know this place. It’s the kings throne room. My hands are in shackles. The Nexo Knights, the king’s guards and King Halbert himself are the only people present. I can see Arrow, but it’s safe to assume Jade isn’t here. Then it hits me. I’m on trial. “Ok…” I say, still drowsy from the sleep poison “I’m not a sucker for the law, but i'm pretty sure beating up Jestro isn’t illegal.” “It might not be against the law” Halbert said “But it’s against the Knight’s Code” “And going against the Knights Code is against the law? I’ve gone against the Knights Code before. We all have. Well…” I look over at Clay “ Nearly all of us.” “Going against the Knight’s Code is fine on occasion…but what you did was purely barbaric.” “He deserved it.” “When did Jestro deserve anything?” “When he started threatening the kingdom and attacking everywhere with monsters.” “He doesn't know what he’s doing.” “If he didn’t he wouldn’t do it. He’s being played by the Book of Monsters, granted, but he’s still responsible for all this. He wants to do this.” “Again, we found the condition he was in, and because of what you did to him we let him go.” “YOU LET HIM GO?!” I stand up. I'm surprised my legs aren't shackled as well “I BASICALLY GIFT WRAPPED HIM FOR YOU AND YOU LET HIM GO?! SINCE WHEN WAS THIS JUSTICE?!” “You barbarically assaulted him. He did nothing.” “HE DID NOTHING?! HE WRECKED THE KINGDOM! DOES THAT NOT CONSTITUTE BEING STUCK IN A DUNGEON? Does that not constitute execution?” “My predecessor King Albert banished execution 80 years ago.” “Albert was a weak king. He let rogue groups go unnoticed…just as you let the monsters grow unnoticed.” “I wouldn’t call the monsters invasion unnoticed.” “Hence your proven your likeness to Albert…you are a weak an old fool who failed to dispense justice to where it should be dispensed.” “you dare challenge my judgement?” A pause. “well?” He says. “I think Jestro is more competent than you.” “HOW DARE YOU!” He stands up “YOU CHALLENGE MY RULE IN MY OWN PALACE?!” “IF YOU IGNORE VILLAINS LIKE JESTRO? IF YOU WANT TO TEAR DOWN YOUR OWN RANKS IN THE PURSUIT OF YOUR DELUDED RIGHTEOUSNESS? THEN YES! I CHALLENGE YOUR RULE!” Halbert looks like he’s about to explode. “TAKE HIM TO THE DUNGEON!” “That won’t do. Prove to me that you’re a stronger king than that fool Albert” “How do you advise me to?” “Put me to death.” A few mumbles cross the room. I’ve actually asked to be put to death. No one had ever done that. No one had ever been foolish enough to do that. “Go on” I taunt “You have the power. Do it.” “Exile him” the king says “Give him his armour and his weapon. Then he goes” The guards drag me out, and I do what no one thinks I would. I laugh. “YOU THINK BECAUSE YOU EXILE ME YOUR STRONG? YOU COULDN’T BE MORE WRONG! YOU’RE NO BETTER THAN ALBERT! AND I WILL LAUGH IN YOUR FACE FOR ALL ETERNITY!” Then the doors close. This alternate side to me Is the Nightmare. I know it is. But after what just happened, I don’t think it's alternate anymore.

Arkmoar. I'm stuck in the dungeon. The Royal guards hurled me into my cell and locked the door. In 3 hours I will be an exile. Arkmoar. I try to ignore the Nightmare but I can't. He's too strong. He's nearly claimed my mind and body. But I will win. He won't control me. Stop lying to yourself, Arkmoar. What has just happened proves that your already under my control. You got me to exile myself. You would have been so anyway. You got me to nearly smash Jesteo. Wouldn't you have done that of your own accord? Name one good thing you've done. I helped you in that battle at that insignificant village. I helped you take down the Destroka. Now name one bad thing I've done. He's right. All he's done was either helpful or what I would have done anyway. Now you see the truth, Arkmoar. We are stronger together than apart. No...that can't be right... it is Arkmoar. Let me control you once and for all. I can't resist it any longer. I lay down and fall asleep. The moment I wake up I feel him take over me. I can only faintly feel my body and have no control over it. My vision is like looking through a camera lens. My thoughts are completely enveloped by his. My body is his now and, for some reason, I feel better for it. This is how I've been this entire time, Arkmoar. Nothing but an onlooker. Now you can know how I feel. Will this be permanent? No. Like when I was in your position, you may rise up as the dominant personality. Also, I know of a location where I can be free of the chains of your mortality. What do you mean by that? Before he can elaborate further, a guard opens the door and leads me out...no, it's him now...and he walks out into the light. As with the tradition of exiling, he is given his weapon and a bag of supplies, capable of keeping him alive for about a month until he gets used to living in the wild. Then he's kicked out of the cities gates and into the forest. So...this location of yours… Yes. It’s in the Black Peaks to the east. It’s a circle of stones, the centre one being made of something similar to the Dream Stone. Back 1000 years ago, when I regained supreme, Valen and the Force Valiant used it to break me free of people's bodies when I controlled them. So, 1000 years later, I'm going to gain my ultimate revenge. Obviously you can't directly take revenge on them, unless you want to destroy the Nexo Knights of course. You're going to take revenge by outwitting them. Yes. I have never been one for direct combat. So I gain control after you're released? Of course. Although, do you really want me to lose hold of you? No. For the first time in months, I finally accept what's better for me.

The next week is a monstrous trek. According to Blade...no. I’m Blade Arkmoar. Being in this position, my body’s new controller is slowly sapping my personality. Memories are blurring. Names are going. I’m even starting to think he's me. I’m not sure if this is a side effect or not, but he does seemingly know about it. Anyway, according to the Nightmare, the mystery location is on the edge of Knightonia. The Black Peaks are well known for their Imposing stature, storm clouds permanently blocking out the sky. It’s also known that no one who has ever been up there has come back...not even Nexo Knights. Ignore your doubts, Nameless. I'm Blade Arkmoar. And I always will be. You won't be until we reach the stone. Continue. He's been through a lot on this trek. He'd been captured, hunted, targeted by bounty hunters, and every single time he'd fought through it. Even when he nearly smashed people, I still don't think he did anything wrong. He has a reason for everything. He reaches Peak’s Shadow, the last town before the Black Peaks and the end of Knightonia. What’s beyond no one knows. Some people report sightings of animal people near the border. Blade doesn’t believe them, though. Nor do I. He passes through Peak’s Shadow unharmed, save for a few weird looks. Then, on the edge of the town, he stumbles along some petty thieves. “Get out of my way,” Blade says, almost like he’s trying to death stare them into oblivion. They laugh. “No way, man!” One of them says “You may look like a Nexo Knight, but I bet it’s just some costume! And even if you were, we’d beat you anyway.” “We’ll see,” He says. He draws his longsword and prepares to fight. The thieves were stronger than expected. One of them draws a Nexo Knight grade Power Mace, another draws an energy bow similar to Arrow’s, and another guy just uses a steel spear. It’s the last one Blade goes for first. He dashes forward, swinging the sword so fast the enemy can’t react quick enough. He’s sliced apart before he can do anything. The one with the Power Mace swings the military grade weapon round to try and knock Blade’s head off, but the Ex-Nexo Knight is too quick and ducks under the mace, unleashing a back kick that knocks the weapon out of his hands. Blade swings his elbow round and strikes the attacker in the jaw, sending him tumbling to the ground. Blade looks for the one with the bow, but he’s disappeared completely. At least, he did until an energy arrow struck him in the back. He spins around to see the thief loading another arrow, but he doesn’t fire before Blade smashes him into the ground. “I told you to get out of my way” He smirks before he gets up and walks towards his destination. After weeks of travelling, we’re finally here. The Black Peaks

The Black Peaks are more imposing than everyone says they are. The only path is a thin one, cracked and damaged so much it looks like it will fall apart under his feet and send him into the dark pit below. Blade's got enough food to survive the climb and his sword was sharpened recently, although the currently irreparable Nexo Armour is starting to crack. He begins to walk up the path. Pebbles fall away and the already ravaged path cracks even more. Yet he crosses it without problem, entering a makeshift cave in the side of the Peaks. Little light comes down here. The path has widened up now, although the cave is still fairly small. Then, he sees something: A hand clawing its way out of the stone. It’s not a real hand, though. It’s bone. Then more break through the stone, some holding swords and other weaponry. Then I hear him whisper something. "Skeletons." The undead creatures crawled from the ground and attack him, but he’s already tearing his way through them before they really get going. Yet every time one of them falls, it just fixes itself and rejoins the fight. Even when his sword cuts one of their arms off, it reattaches it and strikes back. Soon, he’s overrun. Then shadows crawl out of his armour and cover him entirely. “Your true master has returned” he says “Go back to your realm and inform your brethren. I will need them and their Avatar.” They abide: the ground cracks open and they are absorbed back into it, leaving only cracks in the stone. He continues out of the cave into the open air and onto a bridge. It’s clearly designed for minifigures, yet the architecture is nothing like that: it’s made of a weird black metal, claw-like objects jutting out of the bridge, making it look more imposing than any bridge I’ve seen…yet he’s clearly seen it before, and more than likely crossed it. How exactly this monstrosity of design is holding itself up I don’t know. The shadows that made the Skeletons go away now coils around him, creating a menacing armour that looks like the bridge itself. I can feel something looking into his mind, being briefly confused by my presence, and then leaving. At the same time, the bridge emits a purple glow. A psychic bridge? A safety mechanism, purely to keep intruders out. That explains a lot. He gets to the end of the bridge, and then we reach it. The stone circle. Six stones in a circle with one in the middle. The middle one has multiple pink crystals jutting out of it, while the rest have blue crystals throbbing with some kind of weird magic. This is it, Arkmoar. Soon I will be free. I…I don’t want you to leave. Do not fear, Arkmoar. I won’t be with you in body, but I will in spirit. Now…where were we? He lays his hands on the middle stone. Then my vision goes blurry and I black out.

I wake up. I’m back in control of my own body. I flex my joints and stand up. I'm still next to the stone circle. It’s erupted into a circle of lightning, blue bolts firing between the outside stones, yet never touching the centre stone. I’m assuming Nightmare is in the central stone, where the pink crystals are starting to turn black. Then I see something spinning out of the central stone. The lightning is finally turning its attention to the centre. I need to get out of here. I run towards the bridge, forgetting about what Nightmare had mentioned to me before. It glows red and my head is struck by a sharp pain. My legs buckle under me and I fall back. I have no other choice but to abort my attempt to leave, which the bridge is fine with. Shadows are coming out of the central stone. Then I see it. The Nightmare. It…It’s impossible. The shadows produce images…its impossible to describe. Jagged teeth, sharp claws, red eyes that glare at you like the sun. So many horrid features…I can’t win this. I reach for my sword and hold it at arm's length, hoping it will put some distance between me and that…thing. But it won't do. I can’t beat this. I’m going to get smashed. I’m going to… Then i realise: the Nightmare is trying to do something to me. It’s trying to make me think I can’t win. I can’t of course, but I can certainly avoid being smashed. I tear my eyes away from the Nightmare, even though it will be the only thing that can help me survive what i'm about to do next. I walk backwards onto the bridge, looking up at the Nightmare, which is still swarming out of the central stone. I’m once again overcome by hopelessness, yet because of it the bridge ignores me. I keep walking backwards, and soon enough I feel the psychic energies pass over me and I get to the end of the bridge, tearing my eyes away from the Nightmare once more. Yet its done too much damage. I fall to my knees and cry. I’ve destroyed the world. Arrow, Jade, Clay, everyone I’ve ever known is going to be smashed because of me. And i'm going to be the first to fall to the Nightmares might. Then I hear the ground crack open. I draw my sword and get ready to fight with what little hope I had left. The Skeletons are back. I run while they’re still at least partially in the ground, but one of their hands grab me and pull me to the floor. Then they get up and attack me. I try to pull myself up, but they just pull me back down. I swing my sword at their legs, toppling them and allowing me to get back to my feet. I swing my sword around randomly, knowing I’ll hit at least one of them. The Nightmare has taken some of my memories away, including my combat knowledge. I keep advancing to the cracking path, but the skeletons are stopping me from moving. Then they retract back into the ground. For a moment, I’m confused, but then I realise it's because their master has come to do their work for them. I run as fast as I can to the path. I keep dodging left and right to make sure the Nightmare has no direct lock on me, but he’s still throwing out daggers of shadow in front of me. Clearly he never saw me fighting the Destroka. I reach the path and bolt down it. The Nightmare strikes at the bottom of it and it crumbles apart. I just make it to the other side and to the forest. Then I run. I run faster than I’ve ever run before. I run faster than I’ve ever had to run before. Then I realise the truth. This is my life now. Running from the Nightmare. Every day of my life, this will be all I do. Running from an inevitable fate. An enemy I can’t beat. A creature that will soon bring about the fall of the kingdom. A Nexo power couldn’t destroy the Destroka. Not even all the Nexo Powers in the world could destroy the Nightmare. I'm so busy thinking about the ramifications of what I’ve done that I trip over something. A tripwire. People start to come out of the woods. A group of rogues. Who they are I don’t… “Hello Blade” No…not now…not here… “Glad to see Jade Daggerfall again?”

“Jade,” I say “you have to run. There’s something coming from the Black Peaks. It can’t be smashed.” “You said you couldn’t be smashed when you used that power against the Destroka.” “Well, this is that power in humanoid form.” “Well, we’ll be ready for it.” “…You’re the only person I’ve seen for the last week who isn’t angry at me.” “That’s purely because you’ve joined the Nexo Knights outlaw’s club, which currently has a membership of 2…maybe 3 if you count the Alpha King.” I have no idea who the Alpha King is, but I'm in no position to ask. I get up. “Jade, you need to run. The Gryer rogues can’t handle this…and nor can you.” “Look, whatever you’ve unwittingly unleashed is hunting you and only you. Right now, we’re the only people who know it’s out. It wants to specifically smash you. Now we all know about it, if we get in its way we’ll slow it down.” “Jade…you’ll be smashed. Please, just don’t fight this time.” “Fighting is my life,” she says as the Gryer rogues get ready for combat “I’m going to be smashed at some point. Why not while saving one of my best friends? Now go. We haven’t got much time.” I continue running. I don’t want to argue with Jade. She’s doing me a favour…one that could save my life. Even if she loses hers. “Goodbye, Jade Daggerfall,” I say “It’s been an honour.” I keep running until I can’t run anymore. I lay back on a tree and have some of my food. Hopefully there’s now quite a lot of distance between me and the Nightmare. As soon as I feel strong again, I keep running. It's getting dark when I get to the next village. I walk into the inn and ask for a room. Not many innkeepers stand up to Nexo Knights, not even outlawed ones. I sleep for a few hours, then as soon as dawn breaks, I run again. Whatever Jade’s done, it’s paid off. I hate to say it, but I’ve put those people in the line of fire as well. If I keep up like this, I’m condemning Knightonia to destruction. As such, I keep away from civilisation as much as possible. I only go into villages to get supplies, and then fear for their safety when I leave. I run all over Knightonia-I come dangerously close to Knighton at one point-the seconds ticking away in my head. My armour cracks and rusts. I hear talk from the villages I enter about a mysterious black entity destroying villages, about black storm clouds gathering over the east of Knightonia. Then people start to realise all those reports started with a Nexo Knight entering their village. They start to shun me. Not allowing me to enter. One village even tries to smash me. Soon, I’m the third most feared person in Knightonia: the second is Jestro and the first is the creature that follows me. The Nightmare. The unstoppable monster nipping at my heels. This will be my downfall. I keep running. I lose track of time. How long have I been running now? A week? A month? A year? I don’t care. I just run. I run to the last village. I get supplies. They want me to stay. They don’t believe the rumours. They make me their protector. Then it finally comes. I try to do what I can to help them, but the Nightmare is too strong. I fall to my knees, the town burning all around me. I won't be running anywhere anymore.

Shadows Rule: I can’t win. The Nightmare holds me in his grasp. I’m still not looking at him, but that doesn't matter anymore. He’s seeping into my mind, trying to get me either to fall asleep or open my eyes. Looking back on my life, especially the last few months, maybe this is what I deserve. Maybe this is what I deserve for not fighting. For being weak. For letting the Nightmare in. “Come on, Arkmoar,” it hisses again “Let me in.” “I…I…” “You have no other choice. Fall to me.” I can’t do it anymore. “Yes. You win. Now smash me. Set me free.” I open my eyes. I let what little hope I have left disappear. Yet im not scared. I’m not scared because I have to do this. I’ve had to at some point for the last month. My memories deplete rapidly. Names, places…gone. Shadows rain down on me and totally destroys my physical form. What’s left of my armour is totally obliterated. I feel myself fall apart, physically and mentally. My eyes close. Soon, I will be smashed. My name is Blade Arkmoar. And this is where my story ends.

Epilogue: I wake up in my flat in Knighton. I get out of bed and open the curtains. The Fortrex has stopped here to refuel while we go to investigate these mysterious ‘shadow incidents’. I’ve got a suspicion it's got something to do with Blade. Ah, Blade Arkmoar. It's been 2 months since he’s been outlawed. 2 weeks after that we get the reports about the shadow incidents. He’s obviously embroiled in it somehow, and I’ve got a feeling the Nightmare is too. I walk out onto the street as dawn breaks, the sunlight beautifully reflecting off the windows. Knighton can be a really nice city provided you know where to look. I enter a local coffee shop and order a bagel and some coffee. The robot at the counter cooks it up without any questions asked and I sit down at a table. There's a TV screen which I happen to be directly facing. It’s currently showing the morning news. Firstly, attacks from Jestro on various villages which were solved by Clay…at least, solved by the other Nexo Knights and then edited to look like Clay’s team did it. Then comes the bit I wanted to hear. “Reports about the recent Shadow Incidents have now been confirmed to be true by Realm Knights outside the town if Gralvion. Footage from these knights also confirms the connection to outlawed Nexo Knight Blade Arkmoar.” I almost laugh. The only time when Blade was ever mentioned was when he decides to unleash the end of the world on Knightonia. The report continues. “Nexo Knight Clay Moorington has been asked about what the Knights are going to do to stop this.” A picture of Clay being interviewed is shown. “We don’t think the Shadow Incidents are any problem to Knightonia” I spit out my coffee, attracting the attention of the other people there. I need to get the Fortrex. I down my coffee and run there. I get inside to find it nearly empty. I go to the invention room to find Robin, Ava and an inactive Warmonger, but no one else. “Where is everyone?” I ask. “Dunno,” Robin replies “They all left an hour ago. Said they were having a summer break” “A BREAK?” I shout in surprise “THE NEXO KNIGHTS ARE ON A VACATION?” “I thought it was weird too” Ava says “I also noticed that the Merlock servers were down. They’re meant to be unhackable, but somehow it's been corrupted” Corrupted. “Brick,” I say “It’s the Nightmare. It got to Blade, and now…now its got to the others” “But why not you?” Robin asks “I have no idea. I should have been next, but it's passed over me. But what Clay said about the Shadow Incidents…it has to be the Nightmare. I’ve got to find Blade. If not, then at least a way to stop the creature.” “We can help…” Robin says “But the Fortrex has to stay here. Merlock operates it and the servers are corrupt so we can’t move it, but we can send Warmonger if you need him…we might even be able to rig up a Nexo Power system of some sort…” “Ok” I say “I'm going. Wish me luck.” I grab supplies, my armour, and of course my bow. Then I get on my Gyrocycle and drive out of the streets of Knighton. My name is Arrow Drakenheart. And it's time for me to save the kingdom. The story continues in Kingdomfall

Unused Chapter
The dungeon isn’t as bad as everyone says it is.it’s kept clean. There's a few books to read. The bed’s pretty comfy. There's even a computer with solitaire on it. The reason everyone says its bad? Its dull as brick. The books are all on the life of attention-seeking Clay Moorington. The computer has two hours charge and is recharged every 4,and even then it's rigged so you never win. Lucky i'm only here for 2 days before im exiled. So I do what I never expect myself to do. I try to talk to myself. Come on Nightmare. Come out, come out, wherever you are… Well,you’ve taken long enough, Arkmoar. Why are you trying to corrupt me? I have my reasons…none I shall tell you, of course. If your sharing a body with me, I'm guessing you’d be more open. I'm not In the body with you, Arkmoar. I’m helping you from the Dream Stone. In what way did you help me? I opened your eyes to the foolishness of your king. I gave you vital advice in the battle against Jestro. You threw me out of the Nexo Knights. Under your command. You made me exile myself. So? Better than being stuck down here. He’s right. He’s only caused a problem once, and even then I agree with what he did. [i{Now you understand, Arkmoar. You know we’re stronger together than denying each other.[/i] What do you want me to do, then? Let me in. Stop denying me access and let me control you.you and me together in one form… Woah. Stop right there. You’re not controlling me. Your reasons are good enough, and deep down I want to let you in, but this is me and me alone. Even now you know that isn’t true. I can still hold on to one of my own lies, cant i? Anyway, what do you want to do with me if you get control? It will require planning. I’d prefer to reveal it when I am in exile. I? Are we not one and the same? Not yet. Only one lie, Arkmoar? … Don’t try to fight me. You can't. You know you can't. Just stop talking. Fine. I don’t need to talk. I have my ways. I try to fall asleep, but then I remember Nightmare is going to get to me if I do. Once again lying to yourself, Arkmoar. Just let me in. The cell door opens and a Royal Guard carries me out.im given my armour and my sword,along with food and water that will last long enough for me to survive in the wild for at least a week.
