One morning when I woke up I realized that my life had keep going on and on for same style. I wanted some change to prevent total boredom. I decided to go travel, see the northern mountains, discover the mines of moria and visit many other famous and well-known areas. I decided not to do very strict plans, just travel and follow the paths that were ahead. I packed my most important equipment, including flute (I was and I still am addicted to music), some food supply (I think I'm able to get more during the tour de bat) and my sweet and soft sleeping bag and hit the road. Since I live near the keep of shadows, I was natural choose to head west and north, trying to follow the road. My first destination was the famous Sunderland. During the days I hiked toward Sunderland, I did not met anything very special expect the so hostile barbarians. Luckily they were only camping with their leader Oogga and I avoided combats with them. Finally I arrived to Sunderland, explored land and I saw everything between penguins and golems. I even heard a strange rumour about some magical staff that could be found there. Unluckily I could not find it thou. I replenished my food supplies and decided to head to deep mines of Moria, even thou everyone gave me a warning about it's dangerous creatures. I must have got lost somewhere since I could not find the entrance to the cave. I tried to find it for couple days and then gave up, this journey will take forever if I stop for 3days at every problem I meet. I decided to head south, visit some good tavern at famous batcity and go on as fast as possible. After asking some guidance from the great Tiburcio himself I found myself from beautiful cornfields. "Follow the road", he said. First real problem came while heading to next mayor city in batworld, Lorenchia. There had been floods and the road was broken. Fortunately I met some local fisherman, sang some good luck to them and they carried me to near lands of Lord Lor. Again I heard warnings, now concerning about some horrendous wyrm that lived near city of Lorenchia. I owe them much for that good deed. I had now been on road for, umm, four weeks and five days. I was in a need of rest, good food and easy-going parties, hope I find them from Lorenchia. I never saw that horrendous wyrm but I got some problems with some funny, cloudy man who claimed to be lord of giants. I never believed and he got pretty angry for me. Hmm, rechie? Noo, Rechendak he was, that funny looking silly elementalis. Anyway I finally arrived to Lorenchia, found nice parties, great food and got even laid :). They loved our music from war north. For my disappointment, the citizens of Lorenchia told me not to head east, because of the floods. Sad, because I planned to visit that great chromatic dragon, Tiamak. Rumours told that the one who defeats it, is awarded with many divine equipments. Well I had to abide by my destiny. I felt very exhausted and thought about going back to shadowkeep to friends and family soon. I missed the really. Only problem was how do I get there. At local tavern one night, I heard strange magicians chatting about some magical devices, they called them portals, which can transport one to other city. They said that every city had now their own portal, still under testing period. They promised me a free trip if just dare to take that risk, they were not 100% safe at the moment. In one minute I found my standing in a middle of shadowkeep marketplace. Man, that was easy. I met my famile and friends, I really enjoyed being with them again. Childs were very excited about my stories about wyrm, mines and other dangerous creatures. I myself was also full of zest for life. That journey was best that have ever happened to me. I warmly recommend yourself too to grab good shoes and hit the road for better life quality!
