I wandered out today and did some training. It felt good to get my mind off things. In the end I wandered back to Branishore to see if I could help anyone. I could not get the image of the woman I saw the other day. I heard a rumor she was leaving for a while to seek out someone or something. Perhaps she will find what she seeks. Perhaps not.

I thought back to my journey back to my homeland a few years ago. I still wear the scars I received in battle during that time but I did find a great deal of truth. In a way I found myself.

Suddenly I and recalling the victories I had that journey and I’m encouraged. Though my life has been full of many sorrows I do truly have much to be thankful for. If I had not made the journey I would not have became who I am today. The danger we face is worth it if we battle through and learn from those experiences.

In the end we all take a journey. We may not all travel to far off lands but we find ourselves in the end. The depth of who we are can be measured by the many friends that depend on us and the victories we have no matter how small.


I have stared my first quest for membership in AVE. it will not be easy but it is worth the effort. I did not expect them to go easy on me nor would I ask that of them. It would cheapen their membership process if I did.

While I do not divulge the details of my quest, I will say it will be an interesting journey in itself. In a way it pushes me to get out of my shell, seek help from many in the land and will, hopefully, be a useful tool for many in the land once I have completed.


Even as I sit attempting to map out my quest I still look to the ocean. While some go out and never return I have a feeling I will see that kind face again. I wish her luck and settle in to work. Peace settles in around me and I get the feeling that in due time all will be ok.
