## Trophies

"**Leaving All Behind**" is the sixth chapter of *A Plague Tale: Requiem*.

## Plot

### Synopsis

> Hugo and Amicia have wandered alone into the county of Provence, looking for the boy's prophesized island. Hunted by the Count's troops, they made it through the labyrinth of an old quarry. Severely injured by Arnaud, Amicia grew weaker and weaker, forcing Hugo to open a path for them by using his evolving power over the rats. When the soldiers rushed after them, Hugo lost control of the horde which was flooding the place. An unexpected hand pulled Amicia away from death at the last second.

### Summary

#### Towards the Sea

Hugo and Amicia wander the county of Provence together. Hugo worries for Beatrice and Lucas, as well as Amicia's head wound from Arnaud. She reassures him they will be alright.

#### A Pilgrim Road

They come across a camp of pilgrims traveling to Rome. A woman directs them to their leader, Perreux, a man who knows the region well. Before they can receive any help, however, the Count's army of Provence arrives in search of Amicia and Hugo, headed by the Beast. Perreux helps them escape, as he refuses to give up a child.

Unfortunately, Amicia and Hugo are spotted, and while they are running from soldiers they roll down a steep hill. Amicia's head wound is reopened.

#### Connection

They find a quarry and try to lose the soldiers inside. Hugo stops Amicia in one area, warning that there are people ahead, though she can hear nothing. He tells her he can feel them and he thinks because of the rats. They make their way through the quarry, avoiding soldiers.

#### The Ochres

Finally out of the quarry, they find themselves in a far more open area. They head towards a building in the distance for cover, but they have to pass a large area crawling with soldiers. They get across by fighting or sneaking and finally reach the building. Amicia is in severe pain and she is struggling to continue on.

#### Call of the Rats

Hugo promises to lead Amicia through the building. She passes out just as rats flood the area. Soldiers are drawn to them by the noise. Forced to take the lead, Hugo controls the rats and devours the soldiers. Amicia wakes up and Hugo shows her his new ability. He describes it as the rats “letting” him use them. They continue on and exit the building.

#### Hunting Lesson

Outside the building, there is a large dye works, patrolled by soldiers. Hugo can help by controlling rats. They make their way through the area and finally reach safety - only to run right into the Beast. Amicia spots the weak point in his armor and kills him, but is quickly weakened by her head wound.

#### The Assault

    Soldiers start to surround Hugo and Amicia, but she is too weak to help. Hugo controls rats and kills the soldiers, but loses control and passes out as thousands of rats flood the quarry. Amicia carries Hugo to safety and pushes him up onto a ledge, but is too weak to pull herself up. She sits down, exhausted. Someone approaches the ledge beside Hugo and he looks up at them in fear.
