I do not know what drove me there. My dreams were dark again last night. I saw only pain and despair and seas of lost souls. Then I once again got to thinking of the tomb in N'rolav. I have not set foot there for many years. Dreadful are my memories of that place and I had all but banished them from my mind. Yet on waking today I was drawn there as if in a dream. Drawn to the tree and my feet almost unbid made the dance.

So I was there. I could not remember the path - it is so very long ago I walked it. Then some madness took me and I strayed from the path into the forest.

I am wounded and bleeding. I have gashes that will take some time to heal properly.

But I have killed the first of the demon beasts in that land. Two demon bears lie where they fell. I would not take the meat from such foul creatures - let the carrion do what they will with them.
The second as it fell ripped my flesh and put me into the hands of my gods. By their grace I am renewed.

Yet I know I shall return. There in the darkness perhaps there are answers.
