Six months? Has it been that long? Seems like a single summer's evening.
You witch! While I slept you turned a band of heroes into swine. -It was much easier to do than you think.

There's a part of me that loves the familiar, the end of the journey, the harbor, the cooking fires at home. There's always the other part. That part loves the voyage, the open sea, storms, strange shapes of uncharted islands, demons, giants.
