I am finally back home, as it turns out running into buildings is not good for ones' wings so I was forced to hoof it half of the way here. It is always the little things that you never imagined you would miss until you don't have them. At least the countryside of Salmae is beautiful this time of year, there were kiwi trees in full bloom and even some bearing fruit already. In fact I noticed a rather peculiar creature in the grove; it looked vaguely like a tall wolf but had antlers!
I spent the entire afternoon watching as this creature did the oddest things; climbing trees, playing with smaller animals, even leaping to snap at the fruit hanging from the kiwi trees! It was indeed built like a wolf, but had a longer and a narrower muzzle as well as longer legs. Its coat was brown with darker brown areas, with antlers reminded me of a white-tail deer's. I was tempted to approach it to see if it could communicate, but soon decided against it; it wasn't the time to be making new friends.
I don't know if Ixontros will retaliate or not, he may actually take my warning seriously. Still preparing for the possibility is on my 'to do list', but in the mean time I must rest. The next day I will visit with Kurai and exchange information, he knows more about this situation after all.

What a fool I am... I completely forgot Ixontros doesn't need to send hunters; he has the best way to harm me already. The Dreamstrider visited me again, this time I was tied down in my own mind! He made my situation all too clear by showing me all of the friends I have made, everything I loved, burning. All of it was set ablaze as I stood helplessly watching, he forced me to relive the horrible vision a thousand times before finally giving his own warning: "Learn your place."
It was hours before I stopped sobbing, the visions were thoroughly seared into my memory after he released his hold. This was why my kind detested humans; they are cruel, senseless creatures! That is it; I am done being toyed with, if he dares come back I will make him rue the day he was ever born!
