I received a message from the Sheik that a lot of people were talking about something. After his men walked around a while, they reported that the talk was that I have been on this journey for 2 years now. I doesn't seem like it has been that long from his point in the journey.
When I started, I never imagined this day. I was just a man beginning a journey to try and better my life and possibly extend it a little.
I escaped from Ol' Nic's camp and the tortures he was inflicting on me and began this journey at a crawl. I traveled by night and hid during the days. As I became stronger, I began to travel during the daylight hours.
I got to the edge of the desert called No Man's Land and wondered about this endevor. I continued on though and met each obstacle and trial on NML head on. I succeeded with the help of the other travelers and the messages received from the elders on the other side. They encouraged me each step of the way.
I exited NML and climbed the mountain. The Old Goat gave me a mission. I now fulfill that mission by roaming the desert to rescue and guide travelers across that vast expanse.
I want to thank everyone for the warm messages that were left for me yesterday. They truly warmed my heart. I couldn't have made it this far without each of you beside me.
I return to the desert now to continue on.
One step, and then another, WILL get you to where you want to be.
