Duncan felt the despondency in the air affecting him more and more as time passed in the region.
He could feel his thoughts become stagnant. The desire to walk was slowly beginning to wane. A kind of laziness was seeping into his body. His heart became unmotivated as well. It was a bizarre feeling to describe properly.
His mind started thinking about various incidents in his past where he personally experienced loss and became disheartened. The day he realized that as an orphan he had no one to support him in the world flashed through his mind.
The day he figured out that Becca only slept with him because of money and not because she had any affection towards him also reappeared in his mind. The days he spent toiling in the mines day after day, trying to earn the meager coins that were awarded were also remembered.
