Summer BCE 40,000
Oh great Cave Lion why did you choose me as someone under your protection? Why did I have to be born of the Others and why did you have the Clan raise me then curse me? I know I have faced every challenge you have set before me, but I do not know how much more I can take. I am now out in the wilderness without my only child, Durc, to be raised without me.
I am finding it hard to trust in you right now though I know you have never steered me wrong. I have not always known your reasons for testing me, but every time I have come out on the other end with blessings to spare.
Being on my own out in the wilderness is something new to me. I would take long hunts back when I was near the cave, but I always had Creb's hearth to come home to. Now I have no hearth, no cave, and no people.
Yesterday I crossed a river with all my possessions floating on a log. It would have been so easy to just stop kicking and let the river take me and my possessions away. It was so hard to cross, but I did it even though it took every bit of energy I have. I have no idea what I am supposed to do next. I have no where to go and each day is new and mysterious. I just have to have faith that you my totem will not leave me and guide me where I am supposed to go.
