It was a long and arduous journey, but I have finally made it to the city known as Ilucia. This is where many people from so many walks of life and planes of existance come to learn and better themselves. This city and the University at its center are both mammoth, gargantuan even. I am exhausted, but I will persevere. I still must figure out where exactly to go on this massive campus, but sooner or later I will either stumble upon it or some kind soul will help me. You can never doubt the kindness of strangers. I do not doubt that by the end of tonight I will have a hot meal and a warm bed to sleep in, and that fact keeps me going.
I do not exactly know what it is they teach at this school. Math? Astronomy? Those were the sorts of things Doctor Tot seemed to enjoy, but they seemed fairly bothersome. I am in my prime, and I would prefer to learn how to do things that are intregal to life: swordsplay, wordplay, how to bake apple pie. The essentials. Although...although wouldn't it be nice to learn something just because you want to? To read some grand plays, or to learn of fine archetecture perhaps?
Oh, I cannot sit here and daydream! I must keep going.
