[QUOTE="Ziona, post: 132991, member: 484"] [b]Eight-day of Kythorn[/b] Eilistraee be praised! My parents are together and well, and my companions are safely back on the surface. To think of the Underdark now seems like it was a child’s nightmare. Here I sit back in the home I was raised in, writing by candlelight as I did when I was a child. It seems so safe and protected…but for how long? The drow invaded the surface for my father once, they’re bound to do it again. That is why this will be my final night in the place I have come to know as “home.” My parents have decided it would be best for them to leave Ashabenford for their own safety and the safety of the town. I must admit that I am heartbroken, and wish it had not come to this, but I know it must be done. Those we helped through the Library of Eilistraee* have offered to care for the farm, so my parents can return someday. My father has spoken again with Drizzt Do’Urden, who has arranged for my parents to stay in Ten Towns in Icewind Dale. I have been told it is not the friendliest of places, but we trust in Drizzt’s judgment, and I know my parents are well enough now to make the journey…Eilistraee watch over them.
