Home. Just as the unknown Poet once declared: There is no place like it.
We arrived earlier than expected, for most of the Merchant voyagers along the Vosk were bound west for the furthest trade points of Port Kar. Perhaps too, the trip seemed shorter because I was going home rather than abroad.

For more than a year I had been exiled from my master's house, existing in the city of Ar wherever the Fates would lure me. Once long ago I dreamt of freedom, wondering what it must be like to live among those blessed by it. In the past year I have come to believe that freedom is not a blessing at all.. but a curse. And I am ever grateful to have returned 'neath the sovereign wing of my master.
