Day 11

Kai glanced into his tattered old satchel and breathed a sigh of relief. He then set it back down on the table and turned to Caleb, a look of serene determination in his eyes.

"I come from a place where civilization is on the brink of annihilation. Ambassadors like myself have been sent out; explorers tasked with the responsibility of finding hope for an otherwise doomed population."

Caleb sat on the couch, enthralled and slightly frightened, and hesitantly said the first thing that came to mind, "So there were others with you? Should we go back to the cave?"

"We all have our own personal motivations for volunteering, the one thing we have in common however is our desperate mission; with nothing but myth and hope to guide us, we each embark on a lonely quest for salvation."
