I have finally woken up, safe thanks to the shadow slayers. The expedition was a disaster from the beginning and I am lucky to still be alive. However, it was not a complete waste as I have learned much of the jungle beyond the gates of the city and the dangers lurking within the dark. This has just furthered my resolve to do what I set out to, all that time ago.
First things first, I must apologise to my father and see whether he will accept me back into the fold of the temple. It is where I belong after all.
