Adrien placed the letter in the envelope and let out a long, warm sigh as he thought about home. While the comforts of Valerion's tower were far greater than anything he had ever wished for, he still couldn't help but feel the slightest bite of homesickness as his mind wandered to the image of his mother tending to the chicken coop. He smiled as he recognized that such nostalgia was only to be expected - after all, he had never been away from home for so long. But this feeling didn't change the fact that he was happy. He was finally living the great adventure that he had been planning for months, and he was enjoying every second of it.
