I suppose this place is home, now.

Well, we're finally back from the Islands. It was a bit...well, unsettling seeing the place I grew up and never left for over two decades so many years after my time, but I don't regret going. Obel is very different now, but it's comforting to know that there are some things that have been kept constant.

I did manage to pick up a few things myself while I was there...Jeremy, I have something for you, too. I never did get you a proper birthday present, after all. I found something for Travis as well, but I heard he...left while I was gone. I never even got to see him... Well...I hope he's alright, wherever he is.

I also heard there might be some sort of festival coming up soon, is that right? I think Master Thomas mentioned something about a kind of culture festival. I don't know if it's still done, but a long time ago there was something similar in Obel that began after the Island Nations was formed...His Majesty started it to celebrate the cultures of the different islands, and a lot of people sailed there to participate. I think with so many people here from so many different places, it could be even more interesting, and I would be honored to help out any way I can.
