It is near the end of the day now. The gods have seen fit to destroy and recreate the world twice. It is a mystery as to how they can hold that much power. To destroy everything, and remake it even better. Wow, I could not fathom this. I saw a lot of people coming from all over the world to Minoc mines. People I never saw before. Back about 3-4 years ago, all my friends mined with me, now most of them are dead or moved on. My teacher Holocaustus Jr. left as well. I don't even know why he left. He taught me everything I needed to know about getting around Sosaria.
I mined all day today, and even did a little blacksmithing. It wasn't that bad of a day's labor in fact. The guards were a little edgy, killing too many innocent people. They could not discern from criminal and innocent from all the fuss going on in the early day. So many bodies. The sight was horrific.
Blood everywhere, bones, flesh, fecal matter. It was awful, I will never forget that in my life!
The ore in the mine was very scarce for some reason. Usually it is full of rich virgin ores, but this morning, it was empty as a blade spirit's heart. It picked up later on though, very quickly, once the gods remade the world. I was suprised to mine more shadow iron than normal iron. It was my lucky day indeed. Even the old copper was running rich too! I brought in about 900 shadow iron, 600 old copper, and 1500 or more iron already!
Yes. Today was a good day. A fresh new start to a fresh new world. I cannot believe I left these lands for so long. But when your friends die or move away, it is torturous to the soul. So much that you wish you too were dead or gone. I couldn't just give up, I knew I would return one day. But I never knew when they day would come, until today.
Brining in over 3500 gold today, I am on a good start to buying my first house. I will have to mark my territory so that no one will steal the land I wish to allot for the guild tower I wish to own one day. I believe it will not be difficult, but I must hurry before someone else claims the land I wish to bring prosperity towards. I have enough determination to meet my goals.
I will have to find some place to sleep. I know the store carries bed rolls, but it really is no different than sleeping on the earth. I may as well find a nice patch of grass to sleep on for the night. It is getting vey dark right now, so I am happy I bought a latern. But one thing does frighten me on my first night of sleep, the dangers of the land. There are so many murderous criminals and thieves out there. It makes me wonder if I will be safe, as I do not have any weapons to my name yet. I really should have crafted some.
I suppose I will know once I wake from the best sleep of my life, the sleep that will bring the second day of my fresh new beginning.
*Finally finds a nice patch of grass and lays down with lantern at his side*
