Those two days, which separated me from finally going to the canyon, felt like the longest two days of my life. I ended up spending a lot of time with Tam, and even more with Will. We drank and talked, but I still felt this hole in my life. The hole left by Nadia.
I needed to find something to fill it because I knew that it can't continue this way for much longer. I could distract myself with hunting, but I lacked the drive that I had before. Why? Because there was no immediate danger before me.
There was The Great One, and Xuvi hiding somewhere, but because I couldn't see them, I had no idea where they are, and wasn't feeling threatened by them, they didn't really feel real. There was nothing to go and fight against. Although I knew that their existence is not to be ignored, because one or even both, were a threat to our existence.
