14th day of Dekab'askan
Entry 24

The wind finally picked up early this morning and has carried us farther than the last two days together. The captain believes that if this good weather holds up, we could be back on land in less than a week's time.. but as I've learned from Dominic, good weather never lasts as long as bad. I hope though, that in two weeks time I'll be off this gods be damned ship and on dry land. At least then I may be on the same continent as Cricket. The land, though, may prove harder that the sea. We won't be anywhere near RhyDin, and I'd completely forgotten the lateness of the year. Could I really have missed an entire summer? Hell, it had barely been spring when I left.. the snow just melting, and now I'll be greeted by it's falling. Someone, somewhere is laughing at me.. and I think his name is Akhil. As soon as we dock I'll have to get supplies. I just pray to the gods I have enough coin.. I don't want to waste anymore time than I already have. I should be able to procure clothes, food, and other necessities.. but there is no way I'll be able to get a horse. Not by any means that won't get me hunted, at least. Ah well.. it is nothing I haven't done before. What an influence Cricket makes. Before her, I would have worked for months hunting and tracking in order to get something. Now, taking what I want seems the obvious and most preferable choice. Gods I love her. I wonder how far we'll be from the Baron's land? The bastard owes me a beast, and his warhorses would be far better suited to the harsh weather. Too bad I haven't seen him for years and knew him only little. I doubt he'll be on the way back home at any rate.. and I wish not to make anymore unnecesary trips. The first capable horse I come across is mine, damnit. Be it a farmer's, a guard's, or a king's. And if an entire army is sent after me to retrieve it, so be it. Once I'm on my way home to Cricket, they'll never be able to catch up with me anyhow. But what am I planning all this for? Get off the damned ship first, Faizah.
