This place is hardly fit for myself let alone a wife and child...I am going to have to move. But where to?
The spider creature has proven to be invaluable, if somewhat disturbing. I cannot get over the noises that it makes when just moving about the building I have erected, but it is necessary. That voice had told me of a way to travel, similar to before but without the large machine. The voice manifested itself to me as a...small metallic companion. It hovers around me and watches what I do. Unnerving but it did show me how to travel and through it I was able go to a new place.
It was not what I thought.
Hot and black. That would describe this place, where life seemed to have evolved to be adaptable. I recognized some of them but others, not so much. A beast made of burning stone and melting rock, capable of shooting fireballs! I thought myself in some form of hell, but my metal companion assured me otherwise and I tamed one of the spiked beasts and a rex. My plan was to return for more beasts and to look for Ve. Though, once more, if I am honest I would wish her to not be here either. The Bog might be dangerous but this appeared to be outright hell.
I do not want her or our child here.
THE VOICE LIED TO ME!
THERE WAS NOTHING SAFE ABOUT THIS PLACE!
Great snakes that I could see back home were hidden from me and I nearly lost the spider beast, which in a panic as it was coated in flames and poison started to feed from me. FEED FROM ME! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE?! TO HAVE A CREATURE SO DESPERATE TO LIVE THAT IT CHOOSES TO EAT YOU?! THE ONE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MASTER?!
A scouting trip that turned up nothing, not a trace of my love and a waste of precious resources that I am sorely lacking on a failed taming of one of the hardback lizards that enjoyed eating bark as well as the unaware passerby.
Am I wrong to think she is here? Perhaps, I died? And I am doomed to search for her for the wrongs that I have done? The people I have hurt and abandoned back home…
Please...do not say that is true.
The voice said we can go to a place of snow. I like the cold. Ve does not.
Where are you Ve?
The Mentally Exhausted Knight,
Rahl
