1.6

M - I am coming.

I will travel further north to the fortress on foot. I cannot afford to stay and barter for aid; I will go alone, using all I have learnt from my travels. From the sailors, I have learnt to weather the cold; from the farmers, to set snares for my sustenance. It must be enough. I leave behind my writing implements, my few fineries - they will only weigh me down.

I pray I will reach you in time.
