When I was
growing up I didn't have a family... But that of course isn't true. My parents
lost me during the war and as time passed I slowly gathered information about
parents and where I could find them. I overheard a story about a great warrior
that had lost a son during the war so I set off to find him. Days passed as I
traveled the wilderness alone and I kept passing areas that I was sure I had
visited before. The longer I was out there the more my hopes began to fade away
but I was not going to let anything stand in my way of finding my family. It
snowed and rained and my patience was tested in many ways. When I had reached
the house of Gberts I realized that I was home. I came to a clearing where
there was a little village and started asking more about the warrior Gberts.
They told me that I had to cross through a pass in the mountains and then I
would come to large clearing where a little house sits just inside the edge of
the woods at the far side. When I set out for the pass I was not prepared for
what was to come. I fought off mountain lions and bears. I was attacked by many
other strange creatures that I could not even begin to describe. The weather
was harsh and it never let up. I had found the clearing at last and on the
other side were the woods that the villagers spoke of. I looked closely at the
woods and saw smoke rising in the rain. I made my way through the dark easily
in the meadow and eventually found my way to the little house that was said to
be the home of Gberts. I walked up to the door and knocked. Gberts answered the
door and stared at me for a minute then asked me to come in out of the rain. As
I walked inside he asked if he could help me with something. After a long pause
I told him that I was his long lost son and that I had returned home. After a
long explanation he looked at me and said welcome home my son. We then
exchanged stories and caught up on old times and at last I was home.
