Day 4,515

A summon for all gold-ranked Slayers is a serious matter.

The last time it happened, a hundred of us were gathered to slay a colony of Behemoths. It was a brutal extermination, and less than thirty of us were the only survivors.

That was three years ago. And now there is another call to arms.

I can't ignore the summon, so I immediately prepared this morning for a long trip to Arlonia. It was dated a week ago, so some has probably arrived by now.

Since I am loathe to travel again on foot, I bought a horse using the money I had earned yesterday. The horse, a sprinter I called Baleth, is friendly toward me. A pity. Once I am reunited with Aderyn, I am quite certain she would eat it like all the others before. She is a possessive dragon, and she hated another creature to travel with us.

After buying supplies to last for two weeks, I finally left Delmarva. It will be a long journey to Arlonia, so I am not sure how often I can write in this journal until I reach the city.

It is almost midnight now. As I waited for sleep, I cannot help but wonder about the reason Oldrin has made an urgent summon. If it's anything like the Behemoth extermination, then I have to be utterly prepared.
