Journal Entry Sixteen
"Training"
My training began unexpectedly with M'lady Jil's Daughter, Sharyn. I used two Short swords, and mostly to my disadvantage. The kobolds near Hempstead proved difficult to hit when trying to balance a sword in my good hand, and another in one which I had no formal training. The training almost cost me my life, but resulted in some experience and a Full box of aloe. Only five more. I continued to practice with M'lady Sharyn, mostly making a fool of my self as I fumbled with the two swords.
I left later, to rest and recuperate. My hands are sore.
As for Common. It was strange. I could grasp most of the language, But it was the speech I found difficult. It isn't as eloquent as the elvish tongue, or even that of the Dark Elves.
I received a letter from M'lady Ayana as well. It was odd, because she shunned me recently for whatever reason she had. I met her near Blackford castle. She was asking for apology about her "judgment". there was nothing to apologize for, so I resumed my activities not much fazed. I cleaned my Mask finally, which required much repair. I had worn the thing for weeks. The helmet was a struggle too. I had finally breathed fresh air again for a second time. I hated this mask.
I found the encounter odd. I almost expected a trap... but not from Ayana. She was too nice. I still had to be careful... Survival first.
