I have returned finally - back

[rahgnar]

Now i have finally returned from my long journey to tibia..it took me almost a month to get there an back....i went searching for my family... they sent me here when i was around 10 with a close familly friend..so i could escape the violence an hatred of tibia..i decided to go back for them and thank them for my life...something i never got to do.

   I walked the streets of tibia trying to find my parents...then i tried to go fishing and the second i did a little gutter child ran a stole my rod... i look around to find nobody hospitible to me...people are being attacked down the street from me and the screams of the dead and dying are about....underneath the streets in teh sewers is the only half peaceful place....i searched for my familys homestead....

as i walked into whats left of the old barn that was on the map the family friend gave me...i saw dirt an rotting an broken furniture lying all about...i searched around and found no evidence of life for at least 10 years as i walked out of the door i saw another man and a woman walking...they seemed...different somehow, almost glowing... i recignised them as my parents...they walked up to me and said. "dont worry about us anymore rahgnar...God has taken us to a far better place than this" i said...mommy where?....in a weakening voice. son we are watching you... said my father... where are you i said. they told me that they are watching me from above, and that all i must do is look inside my heart to see them...

With that they told me they loved me and will always be watching me and helping me through life...i said "mom dad please dont go.." and they told me "we must go raghnar..God saw favor enough to let you see us...he knew that you journeyed hard and grew much to make it this far...and he didnt want it to be for nothing...you have much more time on this earth rog(my childhood nickname) may it be fruitful...and may youfind a wife someday...dont get discouraged because things dont seem to go your way..you'll make it.

theystarted to fade into the background..as they dissapeared i yelled into the dusk " love you dont go!" but they only looked sad and faded more.

I walked back into the rotted out house and suddenly i realised what had happend...looking around i saw blood covering the walls and ceiling and seeing that the place had been thourly looted...as i looked about closer i found two skeletons laying under a matress...with that i broke down and weeped for them...after i regained composure...i lit a torch and threw it on some of the wood of the house...as it caught i went outside and watched as the homestead burned....burned hot and bright...still a tear ran from my eyes as i watched...softly saying to myself..."this place is better gone..finally they rest and nobody can ever disturb them again..."

with that i walked away from that place and never looked back...continuing my journey back to the better land of illarion.
