I knew it would not take long, lady mundane. Still, I would have much preferred to stay away from that place. At least this time around I know what to expect; and I will admit I am pleased to see all of the friends I made.

Do not expect me to just run away from things this time, though. I am well aware of the creatures that dwell within the darkness, and running did me absolutely no good the last time I was there. I can assure you, I will do my very best to protect those around me and myself... if I have learned anything from Richter and Maria, it is to endure.
