I finally reached a town. Burendwae, they called it. A woman took me in and gave me water. She offered me a bed in a small room of her house and I hardly remember anything between that and waking up here. She is a very kind woman. Her name is Helia and she has two sons, Nathye and Amer. Her husband, Geoffrey, is a soldier. He protects the town. I'm sure he's never gotten innocent people killed.
Helia says I can stay here until I regain my strength. I'm sure I look like a wreck, like a monster, but she looks on me with kind eyes. I will have to figure out how I can repay her, though nothing seems enough. For now, though, I think I need more rest.
