Those bastards. They don't really know what they've gotten themselves into, do they? Asking me, of all people to go out and make them a map. Well, it was my only way out, so what could I do?
It two days ago, I was waiting for my trial, in my cell. Quiet. Then a guard came and unlocked my cell, led me out to a small room with a table and one of the king's representatives sat across. "The king, in his generosity, is willing to pardon you of your charges of desertion," he started.
His terms? I had to gather a group of explorers and map out the countryside. Simple enough, but everyone knows that it's been tried before and has NEVER been successful. But I can do it, I know it. So long as I have a few allies, I'll be alright.
I had some friends of mine make me posters and I glued them up all over Kelacia, trying to draw everyone to my favorite tavern at noon to join me in my exploration.
No one answered, except one girl named Millie. I'm glad at least one person answered, but she seems worried about her family's acceptence of the idea. I need all the help I can get. She seems so unafraid, despite the country's history of swallowing explorers.
I told her to meet me back at the tavern tomorrow morning. I hope she can make it. I've gathered the supplies, and I write this page by the light of the midnight sky. It's so clear and full of stars tonight. Hopefully that's a good omen, even though the thought of the journey makes me sick to my stomach for reasons I can't explain and don't understand...
