It started to rain today while we were resting our injuries. I had Michael put mud on my back so I could get some relief from my burns. Michael's shoulder is badly bruised, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. With the shape that we both are in, we figured it would be best if we went home and rested before we went out again.
We are now on our way back to McCready. It will be good to see our families again. We could even get more men to go back out with us to fight. It will take about 3 days to get back home, as long as we stay the course back. We hope not to come in contact with any dragons because we are in no shape to fight.
It'll be good to go home and protect our families in case the dragons decide to change course and go toward McCready. I'll be so happy to see my beautiful wife and my son. They are the light of my life, I don't know what I would do without them.
I know Michael will be happy to see his wife. They just found out recently that they were having a baby. I'll be an uncle some time in October. Its truly exciting that our families are growing. If Michael's baby turns out to be a boy, he will become a dragon slayer, just like my son will be a dragon slayer when he gets older.
Even though we are badly injured, we know that there is still a chance we will face a dragon. As long as there is breath in Michael and I's body, we will fight. It won't be the first time I've had to fight in pain.
The rain is making our ride back tough, but it will surely be great to be home. I just hope our ride back is a safe one.
