🎶I am home, I am where I was meant to be always.🎶
As I lie in our village stream, my mind drifts back to our homecoming from traveling back from Haven after the war ended. Thankfully, our town wasn’t in disarray; there were signs of our defensive battle that needed cared for and that’s what we did.
I’ve been having to spend about 3-4 hours a day within the waters of our stream to keep my mind from deteriorating further. Primal hunger and thoughts of violence are eating me up inside…
Being task focused and the local waters are helping me through… for now. Our safety in this very chaotic time is a priority within the guard. We’ve had raiding parties to deal with, wild life that’s been unsettled, and a lot of foot traffic passing through. Us military folks and our community helpers have been busy! Gladius, Marcus, and I took on a group of 6 raiders while on patrol and thankfully, the drills we’ve been working through recently, helped keep us alive.
With all the heaviness, pain, and problems that the war caused, it’s time to find some joy and do some celebrating that we survived. That we helped end the conflict. That we are home!
