*Aelus sits by the fire, jotting his thoughts down in a small leather-bound journal*I have arrived at Center, finally. It has been a long journey, but I imagine the road ahead will be longer still. I will rest here, then proceed to Port Hempstead in search of work. I have begun practicing with the rapier, in the hopes that I can capture the fighting style I observed from that traveler on the road. I have begun to understand the basic forms of the weapon, from books and practice, and I believe my speed is improving. I shall see what tests of my skills I can find in Port Hempstead.*He closes his journal and retires to bed, preparing for whatever he may find in the morning*
