28th of Deepwinter
Yesterday I discovered my submission to the Guild was rejected. This was the worst thing that had happened in my life. Or at least I thought it was. The confrontation with my father when I returned home the next morning was worse. How can I live with the shame in his eyes?
The disappointment he must feel is crushing. Ours is a proud family, from a proud land. Failure is not acceptable. What can I ever do to make it up to him?
He was even more ashamed, “I spent the whole night out carousing.” The same day the letter came from the Guild. I surely couldn’t tell him what I was really doing. I collected more dragons that night, cutting the purses of drunken fools, than I did the week before crafting jewelry.
How much shame would my father feel if he knew how I am getting the coins to pay for the gems our backers in Calimshan demand? But the debt has to be paid…my father cannot afford it…
I’ve heard there is opportunity to find even greater treasure in Silverymoon. That could get us out of the hole we are in…I can be in Amphail by midday or Red Larch by evening. This debt is mine, I need to find the means to pay it.
