Editing PERSONAL NOTES:The Family (section)

===Year of the Sun 1236 Fidelity 20===
Since my time with Zafar has ended I have rested and recovered myself. I have taken time to reach '''''Samadhi''''' anew and have gone to see Master Laughing Crane one last time. With his calm voice I have smoothed the surface of my mind like a deep pool and have drunk the water to slake my every thirst. I go now to find the knowledge I desire. 

I have asked the Father to release me. With the promise of my undying loyalty he let me go. I told him to send word if he had need of me and I promised to send any information I thought he may want. He told me of a tavern in Hotempa that belonged to the Family that I could use to send and receive information.

This freedom was the best birthday gift I could have gotten and the only one I have had in twelve years.
