Well, Dan and I left together to make our fortunes, to help our families. Of course, things didn’t go so well... But when we parted at Badon, that was only a few months after leaving the village!

But what choice have I got? We fight every day! Where else can I train but the battlefield?

We had a plan, the two of us. We'd get lucky, make a fortune. Both our families'd live in happiness. That was our dream... But things didn't work out that way, of course. My friend went back home after only a month.
