[Part of the problem with being a swordsman for hire is that you get the absolute shittiest jobs imaginable. They might pay well, but all the money in the world doesn't change the fact that you're trekking through calf-deep mud in a swampy forest to find one stupid bird for some rich idiot who has never even been in a field, let alone a swamp.
To say Michael is annoyed would be an understatement.
He knows he is being led around. He has circled past this same tree at least five times, and he's considering making a mark on it every time he passes it. Whatever is in this forest with him, it's leading him on a wild goose chase, and his temper is growing shorter with each turn.
But he is going to get that stupid bird. Michael is too determined, he won't give up when so many gold coins have been dangled in front of his nose. Even if this is frustrating beyond belief, he won't give up.
He just doesn't expect there to be nature spirits leading him astray.]
