-Afterwards-
Many moons passed and many things
transpired in the months after that day.
I found a dog and I had a
shack in the north that Charon and I found to be most agreeable in
the sense that it was practically impossible to stumble upon by
accident and it was close enough to a traders route that we weren't
completely cut off from additional supplies if they were needed.
One day, I saw a stick with leaves on
it poking up from the ground one day when we were out
hunting.
Another day we were surveying some cliffs and we saw a
cluster of trees and a sizable patch of green spilling over the
rocks, down into the water below.
But that is another story, and that is not my tale to tell.
End.
