Sometimes I can’t believe what I get myself into. Recently, I tagged along with an assistant pig-keeper, a musician, and a creature. I guess I didn’t have much to do and I was bored (817). I knew right from the start that the assistant pig-keeper was not a very bright guy. At the time I first met him he was a prisoner of my aunt Achren, and I was supposed to be training to be an enchantress with my aunt Achren. I wasn’t really interested in doing that. This was after my parents had died. I had been sent to live with my aunt Achren and I got tired of her whipping me and trying to lock me up (819). That is why I decided to help the assistant pig- keeper escape from Achren. We headed out through the tunnels under the castle. I am really good at thinking things through and seeing the big picture. I was able to get the assistant pig- keeper out of the castle, and the other guy he told me to get out of the castle, and get us a horse out of the stable. As it turns out, we had a communication problem. The guy who I helped to escape was not the assistant pig-keeper’s friend, but he was someone else locked up by aunt Achren. The assistant pig-keeper was angry at me and insulted me because of the turn of events. We all made the decision to stick together as we ran to escape Achren. I was happy I had grabbed the sword as we fled the castle. The next figure we encountered was Gurgi, an unusual creature. We listened to the assistant pig-keeper explain what his mission was, and we all agreed to help him warn the Sons of Don about the threatened uprising. So off we went on a journey to Caer Dathyl (834). I knew the assistant pig-keeper was not excited to have a girl on the trip, but I knew I was smarter than he was and I was not going to stay behind. We had a great adventure. We accomplished our goal, met some interesting people, found the pig that had run away, put the sword to good use, and made it safely back to Caer Dallben.
