So in a place a call home I find that they are drafting for the war. Instead of standing up and doing the honorable thing, I slink off and run from my obligations. I know it wrong but what can I say, “I do not want to go to war.” Is that a bad thing, am I a coward? I know we have tasks that in ways are helping the war, but I still feel guilty about all this. Pay 500gp and your free to go, what of people less fortune. They are marched off to a war they didn’t even start. Dam the Belar to hell. Why are they doing this?

I feel with a little training, I will finally break through and reach a new level in my spell casting. I do not know what route to take yet. The spells of necromancy comes so easy to me but I would sure love to master Polymorph. Just think of the mayhem I could create with that simple spell. Polymorph is a difficult spell but I think I can master it after my training. Should I attempt this spell?

I have been thinking a lot about friends again and I am still confused by it. I think that being a friend is truly laying one’s life down for another and I do not see that kind of friendship in any relations that I have. I know for my part I would do everything possible to save a friend, but would the people I travel with do likewise? I think not and I can not fault them for looking out for number one, but how long can companion live like that.
