Blacks Journey

He shakes his head almost chuckling to you renewed with vigor once more. He reaches into his pouch and pulls out a cloth and unwraps it as he smiles and takes a bite of what appears to be a sandwich. He devours it right in front of you not seeming to care of the gravy upon his cheek.

"Forgive me but I can't get enough of these roast and gravy smamichs. Tis one good thing those lying bitches left me with other then my kids...they introduced me to new food."

He reaches back into his satchel and pulls out a piece of chiggin and a coogie (chicken and a cookie) and devours them as well before continuing his story.

"The voices started guiding me shortly after this. I ended up in a place called Wilderun. I can only describe this place as a land of beautiful uptight bitches. At first I thought all the men in the land were gay but a short time later I would learn that it was nothing more then they were simply lousy women with weak men around them. Within 24 hours of being in Wilderun I had purchased a parcel of land next to the cemetery and was named its Caretaker which turned out to be the reason the gods wanted me there in Wilderun. They wanted me to solve a mystery for them for the skanks of Wilderun were far to stupid to do so themselves and after 50 years they realized they better send someone in with half a mind to solve it for them. The Queen of Wilderun was nothing but a spoiled child named Eowyn. She felt since she was royalty that people would follow her orders without question. She was way off base for no one there respected her nor listened to anything she said."

"The other reasons the Gods sent me to Wilderun was a painful lesson they felt I needed to be taught. There was a woman, I hate using this term becasue she was not woman in any way especially her actions. She had no fighting skills yet seemed determined to do so every chance she had. Her named was Lea Anna Silver Wolf. If not for the weak warriors of their land she would have been dead. One day in Ameris with her attitude would be a death sentance. I can think of no one in Ameris who was as weak as she was technically, including my five year old Melody. Its funny how in one land you can be a mighty warrior but in others you are nothing more then a child skill wise.

She and I did nothing but fight when I arrived for she thought she knew everything. Her way of doing things was the only way. Sadly I began to care about her and saved her ass not once , not twice, but three times from dying. Not only that but I risked myself by going into hell itself to save her. For this she told me she loved me and told me I should take her virginity and make her my wife for she was my true love. I refused to take her virginity nor acknowledge she was my true love but we began to plan on a life which would have us together. I would not take her virginity for I had learned it was precious and that could wait till our wedding night."

He frowns but then smiles quickly looking at you a second.

"Tis some of the lessons in life are very hard and sometimes it takes something hard to straighten you out. Twas during this time I began to miss what was back home. I began to miss my children and friends, a few women in particular began to stay in my mind constanly. I was married to 5 women before I left for Wilderun and Lea Anna would have added to that mess by becoming #6. Luckily we never got that far but it would have and knowing that fact alone saddens me."

The orb begins to glow with images yet again.

"Lea Anna was a damn liar. She was not only not a virgin but she turned out to be pregnant by a complete fool. One of the men I had slapped around several times as a matter of fact. Now I realize why she would not let me kill him those many times during that short time span. The Gods began to show me all the things I had done wrong since Dreams had left me the last time. I had been harboring feelings for women who had hurt me through out my life and had blamed myself for everything when they were to blame just the same if not more then myself. It was I who had raised the children when they had walked out. I t was I who kept the DDM going all these years. It was I who had survived and told the truth. It was time I stopped blaming myself for others failures or for my wrongs of the past."

"The gods made me look at what I had and not what I didn't have. They told me I had far more then any other man could dream of and they were right. I began to think of what I had and what I had been through all these years as I traveled back to Ameris."
