On Your Left!

He turned to dust in front of me! What the heck is this?! What am I supposed to do now? I crouch and I send as much divine energy as to try and heal it…but it's too late. I can't help but think about how my life experiences are useless right now. CPR ain't gonna save him… 

Still, this is weird. How did that even happen? He used magic to defeat the enemies and then he died from over-exhaustion? That makes no sense. We just did a deal. I can't save him from that…Think. Think. Wait, what if this horse isn't truly dead? 

I grab a gourd on one of the fainted men that came with my savior. Then I carefully grab the ashes and chuck them in. This way I'll be able to bring them with me. This may be a stretch, but what if this horse has phoenix powers? What if it will revive from its ashes after a while?
