As I reflect on the last few weeks, I realize that I'm feeling much better, more determined to continue learning and enjoying life at its fullest. Every moment counts, live it as if it was your last.

I found a very pleasant human Benjamin Poetr, who was heading out of the city for an exploration trip and a quick copper stop. I feel respect toward Mr Poetr, and I feel strange addressing him as Ben, but that's what he said he enjoyed the most, so that will be the way I will address him. I enjoy his company, he is very knowledgable and I can continue trading goods with him and learn from his combat strategies.

As we were venturing, we found Hedessa, another pleasant human to be around. She kept us company and mentioned she wanted to show me some beautiful places by Mariner's Hold.

As we got to the outsides of the city, a griffon attacked us. They inmediately went into battle, and I tried to help with my song. I realize it helped them well, because they defeated such a powerful creature sucessfully. They are very talented in battle.

After that, we helped a farmer figure out a mistery of what happened to his cows that kept disappearing. We found out that the griffon had been stealing them as we found one of his cows collars on the griffon's legs. The farmer was sad, but he thanked us for the help. I hope he puts up a fence or something to help the cows not go that way anymore. There are also lions that can be dangerous to the cows.

We kept exploring together and we found something amazing, something beautiful that made a great impact on my grief. We got to a city called Stone, just like my Stone. It was breath taking... beautiful. Gigantic waterfalls that fell to the ground with such power and then created a cloud that would disappear into the air as if they were being lifted to heaven. I felt peace... I meditated on this beauty and I felt like my Stone was whispering to my ear "I am ok, I am at peace". Tears of joy came to my eyes as I felt a burden lifted from my heart.

After I meditated, Hedessa told me that there was another place she wanted to show me. It was right next to that city and it was called Sun Castle. How amazing this was... Is it coincidence? The castle was also beautiful, bright, unguarded. Ben mentioned he couldn't find an entrance to it. Perhaps the entrance is underground? That's what I thought.

My body still shivers as I think about this amazing trip and what it meant to me. A Sun castle unguarded, next to the beautiful city of Stone. Is my Stone telling me he will guard me? Is he telling me that he will be by my side always? I know he will. I know he wants me to be happy and so I will. I have peace.

As we headed out to the docks to return from our exploration trip, we made a few quick stops. At one point, Ben was chased by some strange giantic creatures I've never seen. One of them resembled a robot. I became overwhelmed with fear and almost died. Hedessa rescued me as I almost bleed to death as the creature started pounding on my helpess body on the ground. I felt stronger and I ran away as they battled these creatures. It was so fast! Almost a blur of what happened that moment. At least they defeated these creatures and we were all unharmed.

We got closer to the docks and stopped by a ranger's station. There was an underground cave and Ben went ahead and looked to see what type of creatures were in there. He said there were worms in there. That would be quite an experience, fighting giant worms. We decided not to head in because it seemed to dangerous. As we rested, Hedessa showed us one of her latest learned tricks. She calls it a "water element". She poured some wine on the ground and there it was... a water creature emerged from it. It had some sort of trident on its hand and had no legs, just water... That was quite interesting.

I really enjoyed the company of these two humans. I look forward to see them again and venture out exploring these continents. Their knowledge and abilities are helpful on defending ourselves from unwanted company.
