Heretic this, heretic that, this heretic is gone! It seems like my pursuers have stopped chasing me, at least. I was almost expecting another cavalry to hunt me, but I guess they finally came back to their senses.
It was dumb of them to fight me in the first place. Sure, I caused a tiny bit of destruction but losing further troops to a traveler like me serves no purpose. Even hunting heretics should be done with pragmatism, it seems.
I've just been galloping in a straight line at various speeds. I don't exactly know how horse riding works at all. I've tried hitting it with my talons a bit, giving it vocal commands, and even moving my body back and forth, but nothing worked.
