Year of the Crow, Second Month, Day 3.

 We have arrived! Just as I was about to expire from the sheer boredom of playing cards yet again, reports arrived that Purple Lightning had quelled the bandits' attack once and for all. Given the nature of bandits, I doubt that but as long as they had been banished for long enough for us to reach the House, I did not care.

I have so much to impart but it has been a very long day and the maids will hang the night lanterns shortly so I will write more when I am rested.
