I finally explored the city extensively. And more importantly I have learned much of the history of Amber from the Unicorn Shrine and its priest. Very helpful fellow. What was his name anyway, damn. I should do something for him for his help. A tribute doesn't seem to be expected...I am not going to become a priest. Maybe I could just visit with him. I am sure he would enjoy company, as he seems to lead a lonely life. And what of his life; inner peace? Truth is what we make of it? What was all that stuff supposed to mean? I probably have to obtain inner peace to understand it all. Peace...peace would actually be relaxing. I have spent most of my life fighting. It's all I've known. Maybe now, here, I can fight for a peace that would last. Starting with Sand. Caine said he would introduce me to Ahab, who is planning an attack on Sand. I have come to realize just how many problems she has caused me and Amber. Just yesterday, I overheard someone I don't even know call me a viking. Perhaps the word means something else in this language here, but she seemed to mean it as an insult. Why would someone call me a pirate raid? Did she mean to imply I was a raider? Why? My people have always fought _against_ raiders. Well there was that one time...but I don't think...well, I don't remember it. Obviously she got the idea from that incident with Sand. May Loki tear off her ears and wear them around his neck.
