Defeating the Cure

One Job.

An easy assignment.

Find the source of the pollution darkening the waters and take care of it. No questions asked. A simple adventure into a dark forest. What could go wrong?

For three adventurers it's a quick payday. Get in. Clean it up. Get out.

Until they find the island. Reaching its shores will be hard enough. Leaving will take everything they have if they are willing to pay the price.

Defeating the Cure. A Wayward Companions short story.
