They raised their head, and there was a great pride in their voice; they answered: “We have followed you.” Then we could not speak, and they said: “We heard that you had gone to the Uncharted Forest, for the whole City is speaking of it. So on the night of the day when we heard it, we ran away from the Home of the Peasants. We found the marks of your feet across the plain where no men walk. So we followed them, and we went into the forest, and we followed the path where the branches were broken by your body.” Their white tunic was torn, and the branches had cut the skin of their arms, but they spoke as if they had never taken notice of it, nor of weariness, nor of fear. “We have followed you,” they said, “and we shall follow you wherever you go. If danger threatens you, we shall face it also. If it be death, we shall die with you. You are damned, and we wish to share your damnation.” D OUR VOICE TREMBLED HOW COME YOU TO BE HERE GOLDEN ONE BUT THEY WHISPERED ONLY WE HAVE FOUND YOU HOW CAME YOU TO BE IN THE FOREST WE ASKED THEY RAISED THEIR HEAD AND THERE WAS A GREAT PRIDE IN THEIR VOICE THEY ANSWERED WE HAVE FOLLOWED YOU THEN WE COULD NOT SPEAK AND THEY SAID WE HEARD THAT YOU HAD GONE TO THE UNCHARTED FOREST FOR THE WHOLE CITY IS SPEAKING OF IT SO ON THE NIGHT OF THE DAY WHEN WE HEARD IT WE RAN AWAY FROM THE HOME OF THE PEASANTS WE FOUND THE MARKS OF YOUR FEET ACROSS THE PLAIN WHERE NO MEN WALK SO WE FOLLOWED THEM AND WE WENT INTO THE FOREST AND WE FOLLOWED THE PATH WHERE THE BRANCHES WERE BROKEN BY YOUR BODY THEIR WHITE TUNIC WAS TORN AND THE BRANCHES HAD CUT THE SKIN OF THEIR ARMS BUT THEY SPOKE AS IF THEY HAD NEVER TAKEN NOTICE OF IT NOR OF WEARINESS NOR OF FEAR WE HAVE FOLLOWED YOU THEY SAID AND WE SHALL FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO IF DANGER THREATENS YOU WE SHALL FACE IT ALSO IF IT BE DEATH WE SHALL DIE WITH YOU YOU ARE DAMNED AND WE WISH TO SHARE YOUR DAMNATION
