    After weeks of meticulous preparation, we were finally ready to embark on our journey to the Graylands. The trek to the border would take just over two weeks, slowed by the sheer volume of supplies and equipment packed into our caravan. However, there was no urgency in our pace; the true need for speed would come once we ventured deep into the heart of the Graylands, where time would become a far more precious commodity.

How I wanted to smack him for ruining Sam''s speech he made to me. This would be a long journey with that fool tagging along.
