Josha was a wizard. Well, not exactly a real one, but he wore the sparkly blue robes and hat and staff, and had a fake beard, so he was the next best thing. The villagers only kept him around because he made special potions, ones that could heal diseases. Otherwise, they hated him.
It'd been two years since Josha had come to the outpost and his tricks were starting to wear off. People had begun to talk about burning him at the stake, and he was beginning to feel the urge to cut and run. As soon as this was over, of course.
I'm signing up as Josha, the Well-Meaning Wimpy Wizard!
