Sakamoto sat down, leaning heavily against the desk. The quill and ink stood on it, waiting for him to pick it up and use it. The parchment lay in front of him, white and untouched as it had been so for the past weeks. With a sigh he finally picked up the quill, dipped it in ink and stared down at the parchment, as if trying to will the words to life.
I am sorry for not having written to you in the months since I left. After leaving I rather quickly discovered that the training I sought either was impossible to get?or insanely expensive. One supposedly Master of the Blade demanded ten thousand gold for some basic training. I had to resort to renting out my blade as an adventurer at the closest village. I made some gold this way...and even met some kind spirited people.
I scrounged up enough gold to further my journey, by ship to the mainland of Faerun. I had heard tales of a new city and great fortunes being made, specifically Sundren. The journey was terrible?never have I been so seasick, so I must admit I am not sure when I will gather the courage to return. I?d much rather face a horde of goblins than that trip again.
Finally getting on shore...I discovered to my horror that the cursed sailors had stolen much of my gold and equipment while I lay seasick. Again I had to post pone my search for a true Master of the Blade to further my education and instead seek out employment and adventuring.
Weeks passed during this...and NOW I understand why you dad sometimes talked so about those trips to the East that you had in your youth. Goblins fell to the Dragon-technique as wheat before the storm!
It was during these weeks I met someone, which I have grown to think of more than just a friend...I will speak more of her in a later letter I think. The night grows cold and I have duties to perform in the morrow. That is also another thing I will speak of?
