Today my father and I visited the Tomulcan Shaman, her news was grave
after another day of strenous work, my father was once again assailed
by sharp pains in his chests. These had occured before but he had always
managed to block the pains, a few months back my mother watched as these
pains crippled and immobilized my father. Today the pains struck again
and much harder. My father lost consciousness, and when he finally came
through he was clutching his chest and gasped to be taken to Tomulca,
his voice then faltered and fell into incoherent mumbles. I carried
my father to the small village in Tomulca, where the Shaman informed
me that my father was in critical condition and his heart was failing
I choked back tears as she went on and told me the only hope was for
immediate rest in another land. When questioned as to if my father would
survive, the shaman just shrugged and said there is a small hope, but
the damage to his heart is severe and may be irreversible. Even now
my father sleeps comfortable, heavily sedated to ease the pain as my
family prepares him for his journey. His future is uncertain, but as
of now it does not look well. My family prays for his safe return to
us, but we fear it may never happen.
