Embarkation

I suppose I've got to start this Quest alone, as the search for someone with whom to embark upon it, has proven to be something of a quest of its own.

I suppose I have to trust that as I make my way through forbidden forests and demonic deserts the right people will come at the right time.

It’s not a faith I find difficult to muster as it is the very nature of God to make it so. But I set out with a heavy heart nevertheless, forlorn for the lack of company.

My kind of adventure is not for the faint of heart nor the ones contented with artificial peace.

My type of journey is not for the sticky footed nor the ones bogged down by superficial desires.

There are no well wishers who understand the mission, to give charms and amulets for protection. Not a prayer is spoken here.

There are no brave souls to shout “I will fight by your side to the death!” Everyone is asleep.

Nothing left to do now but pack my sack, put on the armor and set out into the sunset alone.

Fair thee well. Fair thee well. May our paths cross again some day.
