I washed up on the shore of some distant beach, not really sure where I was or what I was going to do. But for now? I am going to learn to live again...Day by day. It was just after my sixteenth birthday that I was found washed ashore on a beach. The woman that found me was named Elspeth Tirel, she took me in and nursed me back to health. At first it was hard to get used to being on land all of the time and being around Top Lander's and their customs. Slowly but surely I have figured out some of it but not quite all. There are moments when I still run into trouble and become confused. Courtly rituals and customs escape me and I will never understand how women bend so low to the floor without toppling over head first! After five years on this land I have finally realized that should I ever return home it will never be the same. The experiences and friends I have made during my stay above water would be missed. The sea holds too many memories and the sadness of what caused me to become a pseudo Top Lander myself. I will always miss you Finn.
Those were the words that I have kept to heart for such a long time. Now I find myself having to rethink things. It seems that my brother is not dead and has come searching for me. What does this mean? I am uncertain but I will find out. The otters are growing steadily and getting into everything that they can find. Kodo is a bit of a Diva and rather high maintenance, Mondo steals anything he can get his grubby little paws on and Podo? Well, Podo just doesn't seem to care as long as he's got food and a place to play....Or sleep. Soon my shop will be fully open and I can begin earning money without having to do it the other way. I'm quite certain that my new friends in this Kingdom would frown upon how I've recently obtained funds....Even if they were long forgotten by everyone else and I just happened to know where to look!
