Default Re: A Fellow's Journal

*His words are becoming easier to read and the words are spelt correctly as he progresses through his journal. He writes in Hempstead, thinking of the last few days, releasing most of his numerous thoughts onto parchment*

Mister Plenarius told some of his stories at Blackford's Castle by the two waterfalls. Benches and tents were in place and the roar of the waterfall was a good touch. Many people came to listen, I went twice since he retold couple of his stories couple days after the first.

The first day Plenarius told his stories, I went alone and sat in the back to listen. He told of Eon and his betrayal to Katia, of the fall of Blood and then the metallic dragons. He told them really well, I felt emersed into the stories themselves. I do not want to copy the stories here, because I'll leave things out and they won't be so good to read as from the one that told it. We had little intermissions in between the stories, the first was fireworks! I never saw fireworks because I miss Missus Jil's and Marcus' wedding so I saw fireworks for the first time. They were loud and bright, not really my favorite adjectives but I enjoyed it. Miss Alatriel and Aerimor showed up before the fireworks. Aerimor had left before they started, leading a little boy behind him on the way back. I thought Miss Alatrial had a miscarriage, but this boy is about ten and not elven. So he must not be hers geneticaly. His name was Zain and he's seems like a good boy. Plenarius told about eight dragons eggs weighing 1000 stones each, and Zain's eyes widen and asked if his dad, or Aerimor now, could carry that many. *chuckles* Aerimor said he could in bear form with no problem. It was funny and I enjoyed watching Zain in his ignorance (that's put nicely) about the Al'Noth and it's powers. Well... I probably don't have much more knowledge in it either so we have that in common. At the end, Miss Alatriel was going to take Zain home, I wanted to meet Zain and asked about why he's with her. We talked for a little, she said Zain and herself didn't want to relive the story over agian so soon. The little guy must have had a hard time. But I said I'll go around with him, get him a sling and break couple of windows and beat up some kobolds or giants that harass travelers. Miss Alatriel didn't seem too pleased with the idea of Zain or myself breaking windows... so I changed to not being around any buildings when we do... I'll try somewhat. *grins* If he breaks any... or I do, I'll leave more than enough coin in the window sill to repay the glass. Zain looked axcited but Miss Alatriel said they had to leave... I'm thinking Zain and I will get along together just fine!

The second time, I remember that Plenarius was retelling the stories when I was in the crafting hall with Keppli. We were growing a bit bored, I made the belts for Missus Jaelle and Miss Sun, one was an exceptional , the patterns of the tiger's hide was very nice, they worked together to make excellent patterns. But after finishing the belt and wishing Keppli would put it on so I could see how it looks on her, I remembered that Plenarius was telling more stories and invited Keppli to come this time. We took a ship and ran to the falls, telling Keppli about the fireworks and stories. She never seen fireworks either so I'm glad I remembered to come. Sadly, Plenarius just finished with Eon's betrayal so Keppli missed the first story due to my forgetfullness. But he said fireworks were starting and I didn't feel as bad when Keppli's green eyes lit up with excitement. There was a small boom and the first firework was in the sky, making bright patterns and crackles. I believed I watched Keppli more than the fireworks themselves, out of the side of my eyes, watching her features flash with the sudden introductions of lights. Her already large innocent eyes were wide during the whole display, I could watch the fireworks in them. They reflected the lights quite well.

After the lights were finished, we went back to sit down in the grass to listen. Plenarius told us a story, people sometimes leaving and more arriving. Rocky arrived later on in the middle of the second story, was good to see him too. He could use Plen's stories to add something to his own stories and songs, so this was good for him. Miss Daniella arrived later, wearing some new armor. I found out later that Tristan made it and said she looked better in it than he did... I was thinking he made the armor for that purpose... to get it to fit her just right.*grins as he writes* I think Tristan's going after her, but more subtle than Raz or anyone else. He is one of Toran, and puts Toran first before anything else, so I guess they would be find together. They would both know Toran comes first before each other and themselves... I'm not sure, everyone's getting together and leaving each other, it's confusing.

But Tristan did show up, along with Verideth and some others. Plen finished up his stories and there was some after story socializing. Miss Daniella came to the other sides of the benches and sat beside the fire. I went to talk to her some and work my way up on what Rocky found in the Ire Mountians (will write about that later). Miss Daniella was in one of her thoughtful moments, not responding to anything and Keppli came down to sit by me. I grinned to her and looked back to Daniella. She said she foudn the pie before but left it so not to disturb evidence... I was shocked, I thought we were doing good by taking it and showing it to her but didn't know it was found before and that we just messed up a site that could help... Tehn Miss Daniella looked sad all of a sudden and said that people found the apple man dead.. shredded to pieces... so we really didn't find much evidence at all. I said that he couldn't be and she asked if I had heard. That set me off, I haven't heard anything at anytime, and I sort of.. yelled it at her... I immediatly felt bad with the look she had, it was of shock, I never yelled at her before. It felt wrong and I did it right in front of Rocky and Keppli... But Sion showed up and it was forgotten. He said that he didn't know Toranites would give up so quickly. I was not in the mood for his smart mouth, there were shadows playing everywhere around us, I could have easily dissapeared into one, feeling the "water", as Miss Alatriel put it, that you feel when you manipulate one, and have punched him square in the jaw. She didn't need this right when I yelled at her... but then she didn't need me fore starting anything. So I let Miss Daniella handle it and I stood by, listening. She said that there will be even more searches and that he won't need to be part of it and he could turn himself in. Keppli looked confused and asked why he should turn himself in. I whispered to her about the assault on Miss Daniella and Miss Anne, and the murder of the other dark elf while he was in the cell. I tried to put it nicely, knowing that Sion could possibly be partially innocent, my irritation torwards him gone. Keppli just looked at him with narrowed, suspicous eyes (ones that I hope she will never train onto me) and said she thought she could trust him. Miss Daniella then said that he could go turn himself in and being honorable, I wasn't listening much. Sion left and came back later asking if I knew anyone that would be buying aloe. I said that there's only one person I know that's buying and that I'm already gathering for him. Miss Daniella asked why he would need coin if he's going to be taken to a prison. He smarted off a little more and stomped off... his mouth isn't helping him much, but that's why I need to work with him and hopefully, he can straighten it out.

Miss Daniella had to leave, I didn't say sorry for the yelling and I still feel bad.. Rocky had left as well and it was Keppli and myself. She said she had to leave and get some sleep, I felt that the time flew by and she had to leave again too soon. *frowns, tapping his quill against the books, leaving black dots as he thinks*

Miss Jaelle *starts onto a whole new subject* was in the crafting hall in the gems crafting area while I was messing aorund with some gems. I found out that I can get alexandrite and sapphires by myself and decided to cut a few. She seemed really skilled in how she handled and polished the gems. She asked what I was cutting and I replied that I was just messing around with the gems, having a little fun. She explained to me some things about sapphires since they're so hard and have to be cut right. She said if they're too large, they'll look small and won't look right, and if they're too small, they'll look big but won't have the proper color. She said it's all about the light entering the sapphire. She showed me one of her rings that she had on one of her elegant fingers, it was a big sapphire sat in silver. I love how the blue interacts with the silver, I would say blue's my favorite (everyone should know with my blue coat I've had for months and then my black and blue armor and my blue and silver shortsword) ... green's coming up close, it's as if Keppli's eyes are imprinted in my mind. I close my eyes and I see hers, bright and green, full of life.

But Miss Jaelle eased the sapphire out of the silver and showed me a view from the side, and I don't believe how many facets there was on such a tiny surface. I went back to try agian, and she didn't seem herself once more. She didn't seem herself at Plenarius' storytelling either. She asked if I had heard of the problems in Vhel, Hempstead and Leringard. I said I did and that I felt sorry for the poor souls... then Miss Jaelle said it was a "poor soul"... it's one girl... cut up in pieces and shipped to different ports to send a message. I felt horrible for the little girl, she turned out to be close to Miss Jaelle and it explained her sadness. Her name was Rhiannon and I'm determined to find the man, who she said she saw him snap a child's neck like a chicken (I'm sure it wouldn't take much more force to snap mine), and put a end to him. Miss Jaelle said to check Leringard and Hempstead... to be sublte and to lie if I'm figured out. I asked what to do if I found him and she said to reply back to her. She said to be careful, so I'm going to try since she's somewhat afraid of him too... this may be too much for me if it is a little for her but I'm determined.

That's all I have, I'm really tired, my head seems a little bit more clean and ready to hold more thoughts and experiances. My hands are cramping up. I still have more to write about, but it will have to wait!
