Night 20
I-I made it!! By the divines I'm alive!! I bled a lot, and I'm in pain, but I'm still breathing.  But I don't know where that person is now or how I'm still here. However that's the least of my issues. I need to strike out across the land and find a new place to live. That Man could come back, I don't want to take any chances. I can use some of the leather I have and make a backpack, but I can only take the most important items with me, I can't be weighted down by useless items. I feel sorry for Lambz, I have to leave her behind, but if that person comes back, I won't be so lucky...
I'm sorry Lambz, but this is a journey I must take alone, for my safety and sanity. I'll see if I can get on one of the horses, but only to help me move faster.
What happened today; this makes me want to go back to my world more then ever before... I'm fearing I won't make it...
