[written from the inn in Iksay, evening]
By noon tomorrow I should be walking through the gates of Budehuc once again. It's been a long time by some counts, but as long as I've lived, it's a mere drop in the bucket. I should like to see the old place again. It's been around as long as I have, and weathered the same wars about as well. I'm sure when the castle lord sees my face again, he'll wonder what brings me back again, and I must confess to have asked myself that same question throughout my journey here. When I caught the passing wisp of gossip in the tavern in Caleria, I nearly brushed it off. Names from my memories, a place I had a hand in, nothing more. Sounded like things were going well, there. But it stuck in my mind, and all that night I lay awake, wondering. Curse my natural curiosity - it gets me into some bad situations. I didn't consciously decide to turn my feet to the paths west until I stepped out of Caleria, and then it was too late to take it back.
I am curious about the place. I would like to see just how well it really is doing, if the rumors are true, if people are living grand, peaceful, comfortable lives there. I'd like to see if they finally fixed the holes in the walls. And, I suppose, I'm owed some peace and quiet. I haven't taken time off for myself in literally decades, perhaps it's time I stopped running away from living andsettled ....well, I'm not settling down. Not me. Taking a holiday, we'll call it. Budehuc sounds like the most peaceful place to be doing so, farthest away from Harmonia. I could really use that.
I wonder if I shall see any old friends there...
