So…Arthur Morgan, Hero of Heroes…Is now gonna be doing some collecting for a mysterious woman named Madam Nazar. Many shouldn't underestimate Madam Nazar and her value of expenses. Many think it would be a scam…Perhaps it is…or perhaps it isn't. Who knows what exactly Madam Nazar has in store for our, Arthur Morgan. Maybe it is true fortune…or maybe something more. Something like Destiny.

Whatever awaits Arthur Morgan in the end, it will have to wait…he has much to go through in all this…before he reaches his True Destiny.


-Chapter 5- The sense of danger is never, perhaps, so fully apprehended as when the danger has been overcome

Arthur Morgan had stopped by the Post office at Emerald Station. He had a letter he needed to write to Dutch. Telling him he would be gone for at least three days.

The letter read,

"Dear Dutch and Everyone,

I found us a good score, one that could help us get whatchu want, Hopefully, it's a good one…and not a damn gold scam. I'm writing this letter to you so you know where I'm going. I'll be gone for at least three days. Tell, Mrs. Adler she did good, dealing with 'em O'Driscolls. Same with Micah. If I ain't back in on the fourth day, send someone to Mount Hagen, That's the spot where I'll need to be. There's a large cave that I gotta get to. This is a real score Dutch, I ain't lettin' it slip by my fingers. Of course, in the end, it could all be for nothin'...But I gotta at least try. $10,000 is on the line. I'll make ya proud, Dutch. I'll make everyone proud.

Sincerely, Arthur Morgan…"

The Letter had been written, and delivered to the post office and now all that he had to do was head to Mount Hagen and find whatever relic that Madam Nazar was after. $10,000 were on the line, he wasn't about to let this chance slip by.

Arthur had changed out of the "Crime Outfit" and changed back into his "Winter Gunslinger" outfit. Wearing a heavy coat. He hadn't shaved quite yet, but he felt that not shaving would be better. It would at the very least keep his face warm from the cold. With that, Arthur mounted his horse.

"Giddy-up," Arthur said as his Horse started to trot on the road. Heading toward Mount Hagen.


Horseshoe Overlook…1 Hour Later…

Sadie Rode her horse up the path of Horseshoe Overlook. She had taken off the masks that had covered her face, letting her hair take a good breath. It was free, no longer in a braid or tucked under the executioner mask. She rode up the path. A voice called out to her.

"Who's there?" The voice sounded like Lenny.

"Sadie, coming in," Sadie shouted. Lenny came out from the brush holding a Carbine Repeater.

"Well, look who it is, How'd you get on Mrs. Adler?" Lenny said.

"I'm well, thank you for asking, Here," Sadier halted her horse and dug through her satchel. She then threw Lenny $10. Lenny caught the money.

"Huh, Thanks, Mrs. Adler," Lenny said with a grateful tone.

"You're quite welcome," Sadie said as she trotted her horse up the path. And loan behold, Dutch Van Der Linde was waiting by the large tree. Almost as if he was waiting for Arthur, Micah, and Sadie to get back. But, it was only Sadie.

"Mrs. Adler," Dutch said, in a neutral tone.

"Dutch, what's the matter?" Sadie said.

"Abigail wanted to speak with Arthur, where is he? Where's Micah by the way?" Dutch said as he uncrossed his arms.

"Micah said he had things to settle in Strawberry, Arthur and I separated so we weren't followed as easy," Sadie said as she Dismounted her horse, grabbing it by the lead and leading it toward a hitching post. Dutch let out a sigh.

"You alright, Dutch?" Sadie asked.

"I'm quite alright, thank you. How did the O'Driscoll heist go?" Dutch asked as he followed Sadie.

"Well, we took care of them, that's all that matters, and we got a good take from it," Sadie said as she pulled out a good $290.

"Well, How about that? Thank you, Mrs. Adler, for taking part in helping us out," Dutch said. Sadie then gave $10 to Dutch.

"Course, Dutch. What did Abigail wanna talk to Arthur about?" Sadie asked. Dutch took the money with a smile.

"Uh, she said that Jack was feeling a little down, she wanted Arthur to take him fishing," Dutch said as he counted the money in his hands.

"Fishing, huh? I wouldn't mind taking little Jack fishing," Sadie said. This seemed to enlighten Dutch.

"You wouldn't?" Dutch asked.

"Sure, Might as well have the boy get to know the Widowed Mrs. Adler," Sadie said. Dutch seemed to nod a few times, then broke out a small chuckle.

"Thank you again, Mrs. Adler, might wanna let Abigail know about it," Dutch said as he walked off back to his tent. Sadie started looking for Abigail, who was currently by the fire, resting on a log.

"Hi, Abigail," Sadie said, greeting the young girl.

"Oh, Mrs. Adler, is there something you need," Abigail said. Sadie sat down on a crate by the fire.

"Dutch said you were looking for Arthur, said you wanted him to take Jack out fishing, right?" Sadie said. Abigail then went to brew some ground coffee.

"Yes, I thought Arthur would be back by now," Abigail said.

"He probably went to check on Micah in Strawberry…but, I can take Jack fishing if you want me to," Sadie said. This seemed to make Abigail happy but also surprised.

"You wanna take my son Fishing?" Abigail asked.

"Yeah, might as well the little guy got to know The Widowed Mrs. Adler," Sadie said. This seemed to make Abigail smile.

"Thank you, Mrs. Adler, I really appreciate this," Abigail said. Sadie nodded her head.

"Alright, I'll go find little Jack," Sadie said as she stood up from the crate. She's seen where Jack usually goes to play. Mainly by where the horses were. Sitting under a tree in the shade.

Sadie started walking toward where Jack usually sat. And sure enough, Jack was sitting on the ground, playing with some wooden toys.

"Hey, Jack," Sadie said.

"Hi, Mrs. Adler," Jack said as he looked up at her.

"Say, how do you feel about fishing? Just you and me," Sadie said, hoping to cheer him up.

"Fishing?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, I know a spot just a little ways from here," Sadie said.

"Sure," Jack said with joy on his face.

"You gotchurself a fishing rod?" Sadie asked Jack.

"Yeah, Mr. Matthews made it for me," Jack said.

"Well, How about that," Sadie said as Jack followed her to Sadie's horse. Sadie's Horse was currently grazing on some stray of hay. Sadie started to pat on its neck.

"Good boy, that's my boy," Sadie said, the Horse made a few noises and rubbed its head against Sadie's shoulder.

"Yeah, My boy," Sadie said. She then grabbed the lead and pulled it over to the hook. Sadie then mounted her horse. Jack walked close to the horse. Sadie then reached down and wrapped her left arm around Jack's chest and shoulder, pulling him up on the horse with ease. And setting him on her lap.

"Alright, you ready Jack," Sadie asked.

"Yeah!" Jack said excitingly. Sadie then got her horse in a trot, making its way toward the river.

"Mrs. Adler, why is there blood on you?" Jack asked a question innocently. Sadie could feel herself go pale…she didn't want to really so it outright what she did to those O'Driscolls. But she had to answer it somehow.

"Well…uh…I was hunting," Sadie said quite bluntly. Though Jack didn't seem to catch it.

"Wow, I bet you hunted a giant bear," Jack said with excitement.

"You…could say that," Sadie said, relieving the stress of answering the question.

"I bet you've hunted a lot of bears," Jack said. Suddenly, it hit Sadie. A Flashback…


Flashback…3 Years Ago…

Sadie was crouched behind a snow-covered rock. Hiding up on a cliff. Down on the bottom of the small ridge, there was a huge Grizzly Bear, feasting on an Elk. Sadie brought out her Springfield Rifle. Aiming it at the monster. She was wearing heavy clothing for the cold. In the Mountains, it was survival of the fittest.

She took a deep breath in, her finger caressing the trigger. She stared at the bear, whilst it feasted, unaware of another predator nearby.

Sadie then pulled the Trigger, creating a loud BANG! Echoing throughout the entire mountains. The Bullet pierced The Grizzly's hide, hitting its shoulder, and causing it to roar in pain. It turned its head to the point of origin. It roared as it started to tramble its way to the hill.

Sadie cocked back her rifle and fired it again, hitting the heaping monster in the side. Causing it to let out a yelp of pain, but only continued its charge.

Sadie then started running further into the trees. With the bear following in pursuit. Roaring in the making. Sadie ran through the snow as fast as she could. She bursted out of some trees and ran out in the open on a small hillside. The Grizzly bear charged through it. Sadie Turned around and shot the monster again. Hitting it in the chest, causing it to let out another yelp of pain. Sadie cocked back her rifle and prepared to fire it again, she tried to pull the trigger…but the trigger was jammed. The Rifle wouldn't shoot. Sadie looked at the gun shocked.

She looked at the bear which was now right in front of her, still trembling its way at her.

"Shit!" Sadie cursed herself, the bear then clamped its jaws on Sadie's shoulder. Pushing her to the ground with its sheer weight. It then started to claw at her. Clawing her shoulders and side. Sadie screamed in pain. She then grabbed her knife from her belt. She then stabbed the bear in the gut, causing it to yelp. It retaliated by clawing Sadie in the face. Sadie retaliated back by stabbing the bear in the throat, this time, the Bear was showing heavy weakness. Blood started to spew out from the wound. The bear gave slight roars as it fell on its side.

Sadie got up on her knees. She pulled out the knife. She placed a hand on the Bear's head. She looked into its eyes. But it didn't look into hers.

"Find your way…" Sadie said as she finished the bear. Stabbing the bear under its throat, putting it out of its misery. Sadie let out a few heavy breaths. Blood covered her whole body, some of it was the bear's…most of it was hers.


End of Flashback…

Sadie snapped out of it, having seen the flashback.

"Yeah…Yeah, I've hunted…a lot…of bears," Sadie said, a little shaken. They were near the spot where Sadie would want her and Jack to fish.

"Well, here we are. Woah, boy," Sadie said as she pulled her horse back a little, making it stop. Sadie then dismounted her Horse with Jack in her arms, she set him down on his feet and grabbed her fishing rod out from her Horse's satchel.

"Alright, Jack, Let's teach you how to fish," Sadie said.
