The Kingdom of Nord had changed since our departure from it. It had been ten years since I've last seen this place, I wonder how Marcus is handling his new home. Maybe I could ask around to see if anyone knows where to find him. It still bothers me that it has been that long since seeing him, my hopes should be high. For some reason it's not very high. I want him to get better. Or at least enjoy life for once, well I can't be for certain. But I think he well enjoy this part of life. At least I would, seeing everyone smiling is definitely a change of pace for me. The streets of Nord didn't change over the years. Neither did the stores either, it seemed that everything stayed the same. If very weird to think that tens years has passed. Somehow it seems that something did change in Nord, I can't think about what happened here. First thing we need to do is get a room in one of these inns. After today I will look for a house for my family, I can't believe I'm actually looking for a house. We been in the shed for years. I wonder if we will ever be able to get use to it. I parked the carriage in front to the guild to see if maybe Marcus is inside. I'm hoping for a lot. It well be great to see him, I do have a something's to say to him. That I didn't have the chance to say before leaving. We all got out of the carriage. The mage left very quickly, " sorry for leaving you guys so quickly. I have to check up on my family.". He left running down the streets of Nord, his coat flopping behind him. For his small figure he can run very well, most mages are very out of shape. The dwarf didn't say anything he just went inside of the closet pub. I would have figured that, I don't condone drinking alcohol. I can see where is coming from, I do hope to see him again. I really enjoyed his company. This whole journey was very eye opening for me, it cause me a lot more problems then I've ever experienced. All that is left is just me, my family and the Elf. If I was her I would have stayed with her people. I got lucky with my life I've found someone in my same age dealing with the same predicament I was in. We grew together, accepted our flaws. I picked my daughter up hugged her in my arms pulling her closer to my chest. Shorty after she fell back asleep. The steps leading to the door have been cleared all most spotless, well that very different before there was so moss growing all around this place. I wonder why the sudden change to this building. Maybe I could ask them about it once we enter the building, before I entered the building. I felt my wife's hand tightly squeezed my hand. I've completely forgot she is use to a world where everyone hates her, so am I I'm not use to people caring for me. It just be to two of us for the past thirty four years. It felt like two lifetimes, I've spent the majority of my life with the one. The person who challenged my Faith, challenged my character, challenged my spirit. I began to open the doors. I began to felt tears rolling down my face, I know why I'm crying. For once in my life i don't have to worry about the safety of my family. Well of course their safety is always going to be a risk, I can take a breather for at least for this moment. After all these years maybe this is a break that I've been so longing to have. A place where my child can experience friendships, a wife that doesn't have to worry if I'm coming home or not. A father that could get a breath of fresh without wondering what job he must pick up to support his family. Did I make a mistake by not staying with the elves?, I could live peacefully with the elves. Be part of a community I always wanted to be part of, besides me lurking in the shadows. Hoping that those who know me didn't. I pushed the door back. Letting go of all of the stress that I've been holding onto for years. The warm wind blew into our faces, making this moment much more appreciated. Noticing that are less adventures than last time. Maybe they had retired. I mean it's been ten years those who were back then would retire, this job window isn't very long. The only reason I've stayed doing this so long if for my family. I also didn't take any high risk quest, I was stuck with gathering materials. Picking the safest quest means that I would have a higher chance of coming back home. Money didn't mean nothing if I could spend on those who I love the most, I placed my wife and child on the both that was back of the guild. Both of them are sound fo asleep. I wished that my wife would sleep more, she had gotten use to staying up until I would arrive home. When I arrived home shortly after she would fall asleep. I slowly made my way to the front desk, the few adventures that are left standing in place stunned of my arrival. The receptionist had age just as the guard did. My prediction was spot on, well regardless of that. " I'm sorry for the long wait, we have a few obstacles in our way.". She gave me a nod and a smile. " Can I ask you a question?., did anything happen while I was gone?. Cause it seems that this place is a ghost town". Her reply didn't answer my question. " Sir Jim. You missed the gameshow!.".
