You need the money, you need the money...YOU NEED THE MONEY!!! That was the mantra that twenty four year old Daniel Fox, better known as Danny, had been repeating to himself for countless hours at this point. Really since this so called expedition had began though he had agreed to it and was on this trip on a purely voluntary basis. Okay so he had been bribed to come along and act as a guide for his less than enjoyable benefactor, and he used that term lightly, but since he was going to grad school for history and liked to visit the places that he was studying so that he could really get a feel for it and identify better with it, money was sort of necessary. And his less than pleasant companion had offered him that money and all he had to do was show him around a place that he was not familiar with.

It had sounded easy enough but the execution of that left a tremendous amount to be desired really, the two of them had been butting heads constantly. Danny was younger and therefor his companion thought that automatically translated into didn't know as much, a fact that was starting to grate on his last nerve. He was willing to put his IQ up against anyone's since he was rather intelligent and very well aware of that fact. Which just made being bossed around by someone that he did not see as better than him more insufferable than it would have likely been otherwise. Thus the need for the mantra that he had been repeating to himself almost continuously as they made their way through what could very well be described as a swamp.

Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll get eaten by something... Danny thought to himself sort of meanly, not actually cruel enough to mean that but enjoying the mental image anyway.

The two of them were on what most would call a fool's errand, a search for the legendary Fountain of Youth. While tales of the legendary water of life still existed to this day to Danny's knowledge no one was actively searching for it, well aside from himself and his current companion. And he was really only doing it because, like his mantra had stated before, he needed the money. He was using this as experience with dealing with unpleasant people as well, even if that was just an unfortunate side effect, but he kept all such thoughts to himself. Mainly because he didn't want to listen to any whining that his companion might have to offer.
