Jurgen - I new I would see my children again. All I had to do was survive. I suppose the same was true for them. They were both survivors. Rana has changed the most, she is more woman now than girl. I suppose the proof of that is her relationship with the Dwarf. She was sure to announce her independence by disappearing to the upstairs bedroom of the tavern with him while I was sipping of my first pint in more than two years.
Strange didn’t begin to define my new world. Floki was a man now. He was more like me than I cared to admit. I no longer had a place in the world I had tried so hard to return to. My own children had moved on. The only real spot of warmth in the room came from Sabella, the tavern wench at the Sea Witch. It seems that time had only stood still for me, the rest of the world had changed. The festival of Làn-Mara was something I had avoided for years prior to my extended journey, now it felt like an old friend.
