Today I found a flower, its tiny yellow petals adorned like a miniature crown on a green bulbous frame. When I saw its tired, ugly, scarred flesh I thought of your face, my love, and smiled. \n\nFor I, the delicate flower, grew ever lovelier in your succulent soil of wealth and adoration. Now, I have been blown on a warm wind to this distant land, to adorn it with my gentle beauty. \n

A bright new day

To My Love

Yvette and I ran hand in hand through the desert today. Her health is much improved, and her spirits as well! I thank the Gods we had the sense to depart from Reekwater. Surely a swamp is no place for man to live. \n\nYvette has become hale, and often visits town to see the Consul. Today I shall follow, and surprise her with a handful of desert sage!\n

A healing town

Yvette

Sand. White bones. That’s all you’ll find in Brimstone, they said, as if to say Windsward was some kind of magical faerie forest. Windsward. A bunch of farms growing rocks and Lost instead of turnips! I had enough of that, and plenty more. \n\nSure, here they’ve got rocks and sand. And sure there’s cockroaches big as a bull. But come the evening time? I don’t get near as many bug bites as I used to, whilst looking for a dumb cow that’s wandered into some den of blue-skinned man-eaters. \n\nAnd when it’s all cool on your skin and the air is all crisp like, up on the rooftop, it’s- it’s damn satisfying is what it is. \n

Anywhere’s better than Windsward

A Satisfying Home

No man can sell water. It is a fault of mine, to always prove them wrong when they say a man can do only this or a man can do only that. But a merchant, he knows. He understands his customer. And once he understands, then anything! \n\nSo. One hundred jugs I fill, I put in the cart, I swim in mud, across sand, I lose half my cargo to the sand serpents, Umbria take you. And after thirty-nine days I come to the Brimstone Hamlet. \n\nAnd I sell everything. Everything! How long it takes me? One day. Just water? No! It is home. I sell home. I sell the clear memory of a summer day. I sell the song of the brook by the big pine tree, where you read the poetry, eh? Home. And I, Giovanni, I will do it again! My water from Everfall. My Everwater.
