The sun was shining brightly in the sky and birds chirped merrily in the background. Cales was returning home for the first time in 15 years. He wondered how much his parents would have changed, he wondered if they would recognize him, most of all he wondered if they'd be proud or him. He had finally completed his training at the Temple, not at the top of his class, not even somewhere in the middle, but he definitely came a long way from throwing mud and dung at passing nobles. Just the thought of his childhood brought a smile to his face. 'I wonder why they never came to visit,' he thought to himself, 'Everyone else's parents seemed to show up from time to time, but never mine. I guess they were just too busy keeping afloat, I bet that's it.' He smiled absently to himself and began whistling a traveling tune. 'Soon I will be back in Mudcake and back with my family, but what will I do after that? How will I make my mark on the world?' He pondered these issues as he continued walking down the path.***"Arrgh, what I wouldn't give for some fine dwarven ale!" Melkantur muttered absently to himself as he continued down the path. He took a swig from his wineskin and spit it out on the ground. "Bah what these humans call ale is nothing more than swill. I need some strong drink to quench my thirst, something with some kick." "I should never have left the village. All this traveling has done nothing but cost me more than I can afford. What have I gained, what have I gained? Damnit I should never have listened to you Rigdar, I should never have gone on this confounded quest" Melkantur ranted as he looked down at the black toad riding in his pocket."Ribbit" the toad croaked back up at him."I know I had WAY too many spirits that night, but you really should have known better than to talk to me when I was in that condition!""Ribbit" the toad looked up at him innocently."Arrgh, stop mocking me!"Melkantur and Rigdar continued bantering back and forth as they traveled down the path to their unknown destination.***"I know Grrr, but we really need supplies and maybe some information" Sasha tried to convince her blonde bear companion. "We've been traveling for days and I'm not really sure where we are."Grrr continued to pull on Sasha's cloak trying to get her to come back in the direction they came, while Sasha tried to wriggle out of Grrr's grip. They struggled for a few moments until finally Sasha undid her cloak and the two of them both tumbled to the ground."Look Grrr there is a farmhouse just over this ridge, that means we're probably close to a village. I just want to find some villagers, ask a few questions and maybe pick up a few supplies," Sasha pleaded as she stood up and dusted herself off.Grrr sat up and whimpered softly."I know that not everyone is going to react kindly to us Grrr, but if we want to find our way home, then we have to start somewhere. We're not going to be able to avoid people forever."Grr scratched his ear, completely unconvinced."Besides maybe they have some of that honey that you love so much?" Sasha stated innocently as she picked up her cloak and wrapped it around herself and began walking towards the farmhouse.Grrr's stomach growled as he stood up and stretched out his back legs. Sasha looked back at Grrr with small pleading eyes, and Grrr shook his head and padded after her."You'll see Grrr, You'll see." Sasha said as they sauntered across the farmer's field.***</blockquote>
