Evangelline's lying asleep in our room in Combe next to me, where we’ve been staying for the most part of our time together. Still fast asleep. Guess she must have been tired after her job enquiry. I love her, I’ll miss her more then anything when gone. The thoughts of leaving on such a journey, all the way to Rohan of all places, twice around the world, like she said, is rather daunting. But this is something that I need to do. I planned on going to Lake Town before I can settle. Truly settle, as I’ve thought of doing so here in Bree, the contracts of the Dawn, a new life. Yet, can one truly escape a past of which there dangles so many lose ends that still haunts your nightmares?
Last night I met with Taala again, the old hag, and she gave me an option of retreaving a horse for a contract. Now, fine, I know fate can be cruel and unjust; but as everyone that knows me by now should also know I have a healthy fear for the beast. Not overtly so, but say, I’d be spending most of my time in a cart. Yet, if I can hire a decent horse somewhere; docile, a gentle and understanding beast, I’d be making my way on the creature, rather. The trip would take faster that way.
Tonight, though, I’m planning on spending some time in Bree, say goodbye to everyone and pay a good farewell to the Pony.. One.... Last .... Time.
I don’t want to wake Eva, but I guess I’ll see her before I leave. Though I’m happy we could have said farewell as we did last night.
