I've walked so far.

The journal you find is finely crafted made from leather and fine vellum. the Ink is a dark brown and seems infused with ginger and sage. The script is flowing, graceful and the barest hint of a shake is seen in the writting.

My name is Chik'apu Earthwalker, daughter of a wise cow and brave bull. Our Tribe was small, and we were nomads. I remember being a young calf listening to my Ahma tell stories about the Earthmother around the fire as we fed on the game my father and our hunters had caught. My Ahma walks with the Earthmother and our ancestors now, my family long gone to the spears and arrows of centaur and quillboar. I am getting older, and wish to record my journey for my impromptu family so they can remember my journey and keep walking. It's not my desination that is important, but the paths I took to get there.
