Norland brought a hand up to his chin as his eyes focused on the extensive paragraphs of a history book he had found. He had made it a point to read a brief part of history every day, to catch up on all that he had missed. In a week, he had managed to read through more than half of the history books.

The sound of footsteps and a familiar gruff voice reached his ears and he looked up, seeing a very serious looking Calgara. He smiled, always happy to see his friend, but he furrowed his brow slightly, wondering what was on the warrior's mind.

"Ah, what is it, Calgara?"

Calgara stepped into the room and closed the door, his brow furrowed.

"You have many unanswered questions, my friend," he began, striding across the room and taking a seat across from Norland. "You would have died with no answers, confusion. Your soul would not have been able to rest." Calgara gritted his teeth for a moment, jaw set, and rested the logbook on the table.

"I have read this; every page. I know too well your sense of loss and lack of understanding. I owe you these answers, and I have many stories to tell."

Logging all of his travels on the Grand Line, all the information he had researched, his time spent in Shandora. He swallowed hard, hearing Calgara's words as he sat across from him.

"Please. Tell me everything you know." Norland looked straight at him, his eyes focused on his friend intensely.

Calgara lowered his eyes briefly, recalling the panic he had felt when they had been displaced
