Season of Spring, Day 5, year 514
I huddle close to the fire, when I hear a loud screech. I shiver, knowing that plenty of creatures could have made that sound. No, don't think about that. Focus on Dinner, or writing a letter to Father. I begin to cook a crude vegetable soup, when I hear the screech, except this time, it is louder, closer. I worriedly loosen my Greatsword, and look to where the screech is coming from. "Damn this! Spire. Wake up!" I say, more to take my mind away from what horrible thing could have made such a Horrifying sound. I look up, and see a giant bird shape fly past me, and am relived. Just a hunting patrol from Wind Reach. I quickly put out the fire, and finish my soup.
