Their deaths usually come from the front." -Drizzt Do'Urden ↗

He knew he had to investigate. That would be the only thing that would calm him down. Go out into the cold darkness and find out what was there. You must face your fears. You must confront them head on and find out what is real and what is imagined. That's the only way you can proceed through life. ↗
