Summary
Arthur wasn't one of those academics. He was simply an outlaw trying to survive a dying livelihood. He knew the next death was coming, eventually. Whether it would be from a hanging, a wayward bullet, or some beast of the wild, he knew he would see the last place he'd slept again.
Arthur knew that while he could simply try again, nobody else had that chance.

Summary
“Think we’ll find anything out here?” John yelled over the roar of the wind, his voice tight with cold.
Micah chuckled, a dry, rasping sound. “Find something, probably.” He sneered at John. “Maybe a lonely bear looking for a warm hug. Or a couple of hungry wolves feeling frisky.” The joke, if it could even be called that, fell flat.

Summary
“There’s always more work to be done, Arthur,” Charles finally said. “But even a horse needs rest. The land, the animals, they teach us that. We're not so different.”
Arthur scoffed, a short, humourless sound. “Horses can rest, Charles. I can’t. There’s the gang, they need food, medicine, debts I need to collect, the…” he trailed off, the weight settling heavily on his shoulders. “We can’t continue running like this no more. Dutch needs-”
“I know, Arthur. But what Dutch doesn’t need is you falling off your horse half dead from exhaustion.”

Summary
"You ever think about how many bullets you could take with a single wedge of cheese?”
John blinked, momentarily thrown off by the oddity of the question. “A wedge of cheese? The hell you on about?”
“Nothing. Just a thought,” Arthur replied. “But if I had a wedge of cheese right now, I bet I could survive a grizzly bear attack.”

Interlude: Destiny & Desire by UniversalMuse

Summary
Life can go by in a blink, the sands of time slipping through fingers as they desperately try to hold on to what remains. What happens after time and time again, they've slipped through until there's nothing left but yourself? A self made desert all that remains for you to traverse alone.
Stars littered the dark blanket of night, each twinkling and blinking in their own patterns and formations. Constellations could be made out, but Techno couldn’t be bothered to figure out which was which. It was undoubtedly a beautiful night. No light pollution made it this far in the wild. Everything here was pure, untainted from man-made structures and destruction.
Aside from that temple, he noted. Though that felt like it had always belonged. As if it had stood silent for millennia, quietly watching over the land.
If that made sense.

Summary
He started walking through the New York streets, his feet carrying him down the familiar trek toward the harbor, and soon he found himself staring across the water towards the Statue of Liberty, the monumental figure standing tall against the night sky. Her torch shone like a beacon, the greeting he remembered describing seeming more like a farewell.
“Hello, Lady Liberty,” Eddie murmured.
What is one left to do when it seems like a part of their soul has been ripped away?
