Welcome back, Freelancers,
They say these long dark nights bring us together during this season. It’s not just about needing the light anymore—anyone can set up a torch or turn on a light. No, it’s about the people, Freelancer. The people you fight for, and the people we live with every day.
Stories get shared around the fires of Fort Tarsis during this time. One of them was shared last week. This week’s story isn’t really a happy tale—most aren’t even sure how it ends—but it’s a reminder:
Freelancers are heroes to the people of Bastion, but when a hero doesn’t come to save you, you have to save yourself.
Lighter is the story of one man, by no means a fighter, facing off against the terrors of the long night by himself. More than anything, he wanted to be saved, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen unless he tried to save himself first. After all, bravery isn’t simply the strength to stand up to something. Bravery is the strength to stand up to something, even when you’re afraid.

It’s a story worth learning about, so be sure to take some time out of your busy schedule saving everyone to read it if you can.
With that, let’s jump into what you can expect from this coming week.
