Sorry for Silence

Sorry for the recent silence. The Last Homely House has been under assault from the Plague. We have lost our dear old Huan and very nearly this pilgrim. They say the flu comes from Swine but whatever the source it was black indeed.

I lost my dearest friend when she breathed her last in my arms even as the fever took me into evil dreams. My own Evenstar has nursed me back but it was close. I am still too weak to see where she lays but my daughter tells me that it is a good spot under pleasant trees.

She was a good dog and faithful to the last. She loved her children and would put up with anything and the only time she growled was when an intruder stood over my daughter with a stick. She frightened him away but not her own illness. I'm going back to rest now as the Healers have ordered since they have released me from their care but not their authority.
