Excursion.

"I'd love to follow my fellow people's life map, but my mind and heart just ever pull and lead me on a different path."

The older ancient elves remind us all that every elf needs to follow the way of Arwvoj. That is being a guide to spirits which are lost and troubled. We help them find their way into the light, or a safe place of rest. Later they'll be received by former past loved ones in heaven.

I've talked with my Parents. They seem to think that I'm going through a phase. I wish they understood that I want to go on a journey, & explore further lands beyond our elvian homeland.

If my Pa 'n' Ma won't listen to me, then I'll deifinitely seek aid from my spirit guide, trainer & friend. Shamlok, the best teacher our people have had since my Pa retired.

I've known Shamlok from his spiritual guiding training days. I was only a young child then- always watching from the sidelines. My dream then was to someday be like my Pa, and also became one of the greatest spirit guide(s).

Shamlok had noticed the change of heart in me. My mind wasn't fully present in the moment. All I thought about daily was what life was like away from home. I wanted to meet other creatures and beings....fairies, goblins, minotaurs, sorcerers, dragons, mermaids, dwarves, trolls, if I was lucky even humans.

Shamlok: Young Master Druth. What seems to be drowning your heart and mind in trouble?

Druth: Greetings O Grand Master Shamlok. (Sighs and shakes his head) I don't know what to do. On the one hand my feet are deeply rooted here. While on the other hand, I want to discover and explore what's beyond from home.

Shamlok: O, wise, mighty and strong tecaher, and friend. You're able to do anything that you set your mind and heart to. If it's our way that you wish to not change, don't worry. You are not changing it at all. In fact wherever you go, follow it and never forget it.

Druth: (Bows head) Thank you so much dear wise, mighty and string friend, and teacher.

Shamlok: May the spirits of the ancient ones be with you and guide you on your journey.

Druth Faerwol heads to his parents home. His Pa gives his heir and student a nod. Druth nods in return. Druth's Ma pulls her son towards her & gives him a tight squeeze. He bids them farewell. His Ma sobs, as her eyes follow her child's movement untill his out of sight. She waits to see if he returns before sunset.

The sun's bright light vanishes beyond the horizon. Druth isn't coming back home right now. There's no turning back for him. He is on a journey of discovery of what lies beyond the elvian forest.
