Familiar Tunnels

Well these tunnels aren't really that familiar.  I remember very little of my journey out to Sanvell, other than a few really picturesque halls, and we seem to be returning by a different route.  I've not seen anything worth stopping and wondering at yet, but there are several days of this ahead of us.  There are plenty of these historic lands to travel through here yet, though.

The feeling of the delve is the familiar part.  It's good to be back in the dimly lit Dzarraf-made tunnels, although it seems extremely warm down here.  I've stripped back a couple of layers of clothing, but I'm still sweating.  I'm not sure if I feel as at-home down here as I did before.  It's as though I've changed, as though I've become much more than the contented Dzarraf that I was before I embarked upon my journey.  Actually, I like the change.  I've experienced much already, and I really hope that when our new adventures on the surface begin in earnest that I'll continue to grow and develop in ways that just haven't been open to me deep in the under-land.

I'm both keen to be back at my my home, just to relax back into my old life just for a few hours, and excited about the prospect of earning gold in the land of the Hznamen.  I think I've become accustomed to the outdoors, this is, perhaps, because of my captivity.
