Re: Layl Maaw, Sun's Journal - a Bard's journey So many things, so many events! Where to I start?
Last time I sat down and scribbled my thoughts on this golden ink was right after the wedding proposal from Verideth. Things moved fast after that. We went to Voltrex and we performed the ceremonies there with his family. I'm saddened that his twin brother Aerimor couldn't attend, but it's perfectly fine because I know he's been busy and he has his own matters to attend and so does Alatriel.
I've been learning some new spells. One of the allows me to shout really loud and scare even the tallest gigant. I have been able to save us from trouble plenty of times by screaming it out. I also learned a dark tune that saddens my enemies so much that they can't concentrate well to fight back. I find it most interesting how they sometimes can't even tell where the sond is coming from.
As I grow on my enchantments, I learn more and more about techniques to defend ourselves from enemies out there. I've found a way to dominate a human or elven beings. It doesn't work on ogres or gigants, but it works on dark elves. I guess being an elf myself, I've been able to unlock the key to make them think we are their allies.
The other day, I found a dark elf, which of course, is a race that is not on my list of likable ones, due to their affiliation to darkness, and I sneaked in really close, and whispered to her and I was able to tune her mind into fighting with us instead of against us. I found that quite amusing and never will use that skill for any other purpose but to fight evil.
Verideth has also grown in tune with the land. I am amazed of his latest perfected skills. He can cast this powerful lighting along with a mist that makes enemies paralized and wrapped in a field of stone. I have no idea how he does it, but I see him more and more becoming stronger on being one with the land. He is also able to summon a big wolf that can take any mummy or undead and finish them in a matter of seconds. He also has a bear companion that defends him in battle when he calls it. I'm quite impressed. My dear beloved wolfie and I have been growing closer too, as we protect each other more and more.
I've been crafting a lot, and making lots of arrows. I'm getting better on using oak and made me a beautiful oak violin and have been making them and selling them as well. I also have been perfecting the art of making arrows. I think I'm growing more and more into using my bow in battle.
Perhaps I should consider studying the arcane arts and learn more about becoming an arcane archer some day. I'm just fascinated by how much damage you can do if you shoot an arrow the right way on a weak spot on the enemies. I started laughing the other day as I shot a few arrows to some angry goblins that came to attack us and they were trying to defend themselves at the same time they were trying to take the arrows off their bodies. Quite a nice distraction, since it doesn't let them concentrate and attach the fighters that come to face them. Maybe some day I'll be able to learn how to finish them with just one arrow. I've heard stories like that in songs about great fighters...
