Regardless how I felt there was work to be done. Sorcery does not idly sit around accomplishing itself.
I’d been tasked, as usual, to find some ingredients for a spell whose function wasn’t of my personal concern. The opportunity to see distant lands and avoid the usual politicking that happens was more than enough incentive.
I don’t favor caves but some do have such wondrous vistas that on occasion I remind myself the value of adventure.
