Dear Mother and Father,

I hope you are both doing well. It should be a glorious time of year at the... *trails off pen scratching the paper*

*starts to write again*
I, I miss him. I have not seen him in days, maybe weeks, seems like years. Master Exodus has been keeping me company but I miss him. I even slept on the couch in his home hoping that he would come in the night. I hope he is safe I worry for him.

I have had a vision, as I slept, a vision of a sword, a sword that I cannot weild. A sword that strikes down everything in its path... *thinks* Why would I dream of a sword that I cannot weild?

Dear Mother and Father,

Mother, he has returned, safely thankfully. I had missed him so. He gave me a beautiful ring which I wear on a chain around my neck. *fingers the ring* I hope, I hope...

Dear Mother and Father,

Ha has asked... for my hand and I have said yes... *stops and thinks, quill blotting the page*

I love him dearly, he is a kind and righteous man, a man, Father you would be proud of. We have no date set, just a commitment in our hearts. I wish you could be there both of you, Mother and Father, even just to meet him once. I never thought that I could love some one like this *pen trailing off the page again*

The funny thing was he spoke of learning a trade *smiles*. I was thinking so hard on what I though he might like to do... he thought leathers, so I shall go find everything I can to help him in his endevore.

I also told him we needed a home for us, for our... *trails off again* I told him we needed a guest room for Ash, and he didn't seem to mind. Creighton always seems to make me happy, I think he understands what Ash means to me... He is a kind man...

*the quill drops from her hand as she drifts off to sleep, waiting for Ash to climb into the bunk above so she can poke her and tell her the news*

*as she drifts off she dreams of the sword, a sword in a great heros hand*

Dear Mother and Father,

I have told Ash... I don't think she was pleased at first. But in the end she congradulated me and did not hesitate when I asked her to stand with me during the ceremony. Even said she'd make the dress, she has a good heart.

I kind of scolded her though. Told her she was like a walnut...Hard on the outside and good on the inside. She said she'd be nice for two weeks, no hood, smiling, no telling anyone she would kick they're... Should be funny! And needed for her.

Oh and I told a story in front of a whole tavern tonight... I think I might have even done an alright job. Twas the story of the old man, the young boy and the other from the forest, Mother. And the seed, It reminded me of Rhizome getting the seed.

*thinks: Wow, I had a long day...*

Later, a man came harassing Rhynn, teasing her about her past. Mother, I am getting the impression she was abused as a child and this was what he was teasing her about. About being a slave and such. I asked him his name and all he did was repeat my sentences. Many surounded him with weapons drawn. He sent an arrow at Rhynn. Chaos erupted, then boiled down to a simmer. The non gentleman was the worst for wear, and he did not like the sight of all of our blades. I told him as he retreated into the night that I would always be looking for him.

I am glad that Creighton did not witness that. He would not liked to see me in between two about to fight, in just my dress... *trails off*

I wonder where he was? *smiles* I know he will seek me out.

*curls up and dreams of a sword, and of him, in dwarven*

Dear Mother and Father........

*gives up on writing them letters and starts a journal*

I learned a new word today... Nurga. Tis love in dwarven. The Stonecutters are teaching me much, Azoa. But not as much as he is. I find myself worrying about him, when sometimes (well most of the time) I don't worry about myself. I know he is capable but I worry...

We went on a great adventure today to retrieve wood. Wood for a friend to make bows out of. I knew we were all going to our graves on the hunt, before we even started. But for Glenn, and the kindness he has shown me, I would give up a soul strand. Thankfully no one had to, but we brought back mahogany instead of yew... *smiles at Plenns generocity*

I wanted a home before I married... I do not know if that will happen now. I love him so much I would marry him tomorow, can I hold out? It would be a long time before we could save that much *sighs* Ash has already made the dress, oh I want to see it, but I cannot... I hear him and the Stonecutters makeing plans like they think I'm deaf *smiles*

And Ash, Ash, Ash, she so makes me smile... she is the walnut.

I love him dearly *pen trails off of the page as she falls asleep*

*opens her new journal and begins to write*

I think, I think I am being selfish... *pen drops from her hand and she stares at the words*

I have a love so strong but I have put a burden on him. It has to weigh on him, my want of a home. Who am I to make such a demand? I have the keys to three homes. Tis his company I want, we could live in a tent. It will take so long to raise the coins, and I worry he will be rash in his decisions to collect it. Last night he asked Axodeth where the creatures were that have the most coins... Those are the most dangerous. I do not want to end up like Addison, fearing for my loves meetings with the soul mother.

He told me that Master Axodeth even offered half his house to Creighton for us. *sighs and smiles at the kindness of the Stonecutters* I do not think I could accept his generosity. And... I worry for Ash. I worry about hurting my best friend, after all we have been through I cannot just up and leave her in that house all alone.

Maybe I should just spend the coins or give them to Roldem and be done with it... and both of us start with nothing... I miss him so...

*begins to cry clutching the book with the flower pressed in it*

*wakes up beside a pond where they both collapsed from exaustion. Gently brushs the hair back off of his sleeping forhead and give him a light kiss as to not wake him*

*opens the leather bound book*

A tragedy has befallen my community of freinds. Cole Norseman has been taken by the soul mother. Though I didn't know him that well, his companion Addison is a good freind, and she is with his child. I shall seek her out and see what I can do for her, probably nothing, for it is always hardest on those left behind, but I shall ask anyway.

*eyes brighten*

I do have good news though. Creighton and I are going to take Axodeth up on his offer of half his home, until we can save enough for our own. I believe what was holding me back was my love for another, my love for my best freind. Axodeth insisted that he had an extra room that he would be honored for Ash to have. He said there room for Ash was small, but we can keep the keys to the other house and use it for storage, and as a retreat when we need to get away. I need to seek her out and tell her, ask her. Twill be up to her, but at least now I do not feel like I am abandoning her. I hope she will come.

I wonder what our home will be like? What his tastes are in furnishings. Bah I don't even know his favorite color. I have a lot to still learn.

I have never seen a funnier sight than a Dwarf in a suit. *laughs* Creighton and the Stonecutters have been working hard on clothes for the wedding. *giggles again* I think we shall have to change the colors, white with scarlet trim for the women and silver with Scarlet for the men. Gold and scarlet looked pretty bad... He has decided to let me pick the date, how does one do that? I suppose it shall be after we get situated in Axos.

I have grown in power as well. I can cast spells of the fourth circle now, though I need to speak with another mage about how to properly work one of them, as it seems to turn me into a spider all of the time, though peoples reactions are histerical. *smiles* Moving to Axo's has taken another thing off of my mind, I have needed an advanced crafting certificate to continue my work. They cost 32,500 coins, and I could not have gotten one while trying to save every coin as fast as I could for a home. I will need to speak with Creighton and see if it is ok for me to use the coins for that. I think in the end though we will get a home faster if I can produce better goods working with silver and platinum and the like, and I'm sure I have freinds who would get me the metals...

I have been learning Dwarven at a more rapid rate. Hopefully soon I will be able to converse with the Stonecutters in their native tounge. Axodeth, Exodus, and Xain are such willing teachers.

Azoa is Aye
Nurga is Love
Kohaarz is Tyrian
Zihaak'kurr is Creighton

Kohaarz nurga Zihaak'kuur.

*lights a candle and digs her book out of her pack as he sleeps next to her, and listens to the rain drum down outside the window*

Where to start...

Exodus has been speaking of going to the temple of Vorax... I could not remember where it was. Well I knew the general area but not exactly the place. Jennara was in town and I knew she would help, she is a fine soul. Jennara, I, Exodus and several whose names I am at a loss for right now traveled the mountains and safely got Exodus to the the temple. He has decided to stay, to learn from the priests. He told me to tell his brothers that he was safe and would be back. I wonder what that ment? But I have delivered the message.

My love grows greater... *smiles and pushes his locks back gently* He has surprised me... with gifts, gifts of silver. I will get my badge on the morn and begin crafting the silver, with a mind to make everyone of my friends a beautiful piece.

*writes her self a note in the margin to fix the chests*

I have been practicing my dwarven with him as well, soon I think Creighton and I shall be able to profess our love in their tounge. And I have discovered that my mothers language is comming back to me little by little.

*looks at him asleep, blows out the candle, snuggles up next to him and closes her eyes*

merlin34baseball · « **Reply #28 on:** May 30, 2006, 11:08:45 pm »

*lights the small candle next to his bed*

I shall not write long, I do not wish to wake him.

Exodus has returned, begging plate in hand for the temple. I took this as a sign that things went well for him At the Vorax temple. He seems very happy, so it seems a good thing, though I think his brothers think hes a bit crazy.

I worked the silver all day long, comming out with some fine pieces that I gave to my friends, one for each, the three Stonecutters and Ash. I got really lucky, my eye was true, and I turned out an exeptionly beautiful ring that I gave my love. *looks down at his finger and smiles* Axodeth has now given me platinum to work, when shall I find the time?

We have begun speaking of our wedding and the plans that are to be made. One part of me cares not for a wedding at all, just some simple vows between him and I, and the other part of me would like to have our friends there to celebrate our wedding and each other. We just need to pick a place, and I think the rest will fall into place one way or another. *smiles*

On a much sadder note. I have finally seen Addison. *stops writing for a bit and looks at him* There is not much I can do. The baby is due any day, perhaps I can help then, by bringing her some meals and juices and such. Just, I don't know, keeping her company. She is hoping for a boy, I hope Cole gave her her wish.

Sin'Dolin the mage is dead as well. Tis a black time in this land. Sin'Dolin was a humerous fellow. And I shall always remember him walking me all the way across Dregar one time when I was lost. He bought lots of stuff from me and always paid more than it was worth, I think because he had pity on a poor young mage just trying to get by, by selling dusts and aloe. He helped me much.

*smiles and crys at the tragedies*

Twould be a dark time if it weren't for my light.

*blows out the candle and wraps her arms around him*

*opens the tent flap and slpis out under the moon light to write*

I came into town late today, and he was not in the craft house like I thought he would be. The first thing I thought of was him trying to earn coins, then I thought of Haven. I ran the whole way turning invisible so I could get deep into the mines. I found him and Xain near death, and healed them both. It was rather funny *laughs quietly* I was invisible so I think the wondered if the gods were healing them... *smiles knowing its not true*

I have spoken to him about the wedding, how I would rather have a small ceremony and then a party for our friends after. I know I have been bored to death at weddings before so why subject everyone to that, when the only words that matter are mine and his to each other. *smiles* I can't wait to start on his present, it will be so much fun!

I made platinum rings yesterday, to go with the silver ones. I believe I am becoming one of the better jewelers around. People seem to be seeking me out to cut their stones *stops and thinks, I should be charging coins for that, We still have a home to buy

*the pen trails off as she hears him turn over in the tent*

*enters the small tent, and crawls in beside him*

oh *thinks remembering todays lesson in Dwarven, repeating it in her head as she dozes off*

*awakes by the fire outside Hlint still in her battle robes drenched in sweat not knowing why shes laying in the dirt, sits up, shakes out her hair and realizes...*

The soul mother, she has visited me again... I must be more careful. Sometimes I am to busy trying to help others and not busy enough protecting myself. *sighs* I cannot be a good wife if I am in the afterlife and my love is here. I must become a tad more selfish, just a tad, not selfish for my own ends but for the ends of my future family...

*knocks the dust off of her robes*

He must be worried. Does he even know where I am? *not remembering much after the soul mother touched her* Azoa (aye), I must seek Zihaak'kurr (Creighton), right away and let him know I am alright.

*closes the book and heads into Hlint*

merlin34baseball · « **Reply #31 on:** June 07, 2006, 12:04:29 am »

*restless and cannot sleep, she lights the candle next to the bed*

Tis been another dreadful day. I went to Hurm with Ash, Creighton, Axodeth, Mercas, Tegan, Pyrran, Kiva and some wench I do not know, and don't want to. We overheard pirates speaking of taking Hurm and then the throne. I made a mistake that cost me dearly, the pirates saw me and ran me through, then the soul mother had her way again with me *shudders*. We must warn someone of this but who? I do not trust the government anymore, for what they did to the relief effort for Roldem was terrible. I think I should seek out Jennara, and see if she has any ideas of who can be trusted. They spoke of taking the throne right out from under everyones noses...

*leans over and touches his cheek*

I must marry this man soon... He made a great gift to me today. The oil I have been seeking for months he brought me *smiles*. I love him so. I must *writes it again and again* MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST start being more careful, especially when traveling with groups as I did today. Twas so unorganized, no one would wait for spells to help them and, and... *trails off*

*slips out of bed to go cut stones to keep her mind off of the soul mother*

merlin34baseball · « **Reply #32 on:** June 07, 2006, 01:14:42 pm »

*wakes late in the day after cutting and setting stones all night*

My thoughts on everything:

On my love,

He is one of the kindest and gentlest men I have ever met. I need to, to wed him soon, even if it means me dragging him into the forest and getting on a knee myself, just us alone. I am just so nervous of a big wedding, and would rather have a big celebration after instead. In the next few days I shall do just that I think. I hope our friends are not disappointed... I think the Stonecutters will be relieved not to have to put on their suits. I just need to find a witness, perhaps Ifion would come, or maybe even Rhynn. I, I just want to relieve the pressure I think he feels about this. All I want is him, close, and with me forever.

On my best walnut,

Ash's life seems to have taken a turn. I believe she is in love. *smiles then frowns* I have known him for a while, as long as I have been here almost. He is just so dark sometimes, and I don't know if Ash needs that kind of influence. She was just starting to break out of her walnut. Who knows maybe this will be good for her, she does seem happy. *startes to think about moving her stuff out of the house to let Ash have more room*

On my craft,

I have become extrordinarily good. I believe I will cut my first diamond soon, as I have had a request to do so. People seem to seek me out now for rings and jewelry, and to cut or dust the occasional stone. I have been working hard in the craft hall in Hampshire, and it is paying off. I must spend another 15,000 for gems today but I can turn that into 30,000. Soon I shall be back to where I was before I had to spend the coins on the crafting badge.

On my skills in the field,

I have been dieing lately. *looks at the words* I seem to turn the tide of the battle in our favor sometimes but... make key mistakes that cost me and my friends at times. I must correct this. Perhaps I need to seek a teacher of the weave to make me more effective. I am also increasingly frustrated at groups who refuse to wait for me to cast my spells that will help them in battle. We all could be a bit more powerful if they would not just run headlong into battle.

On the Stonecutters,

Exodus seems increasingly frustrated with his path. He has been a proud warrior for Vorax for as long as I have know him, and now he wants to join the clergy. A better priest they will never have. Why will they not accept him? Axodeth is as generous as ever. I could not continue my jewelry making without his generosity, giving me gold, *thinks I need more of that*, silver, and platinum, and even gems to work with. Xain is as steady as ever. Always looking to zihazzig thg'nnth (crack skulls). He is a rock.

On the world,

The King has died, the Alliance has withdrawn support for Roldem. Something is wrong. On an adventure last night I overheard pirates talking of taking Hurm and the throne. I must seek out Jennara to see who can be trusted in the government, though I doubt anyone can be.

*sets her quill down and thinks*

There is much right with the world and many things wrong...

worried about Ash, woried the Stonecutters all three, worried...

about Creighton, worried about the blasted chairs thet Creighton scared out of the house with his sword.

*she gently gets up and lights the candle next to the bed*

I had missed him so...

I found him and the Stonecutters, though the sight was not good, ghosts all around. Seems the adventure they went on did not treat them well. My love and Master Axodeth had both met the soul mother... *cringes* Axo is, is, is... *trails off* He cannot meet her again. How can I keep them safe? I cannot be everywhere *stops writing and looks at him sleeping next to her*

*smiles*

I need to talk to Frilly, to arrange our celebration at the Arms. The Stonecutters seem excited at the idea of a big party. Twould make me happy as well to see all of my friends in one place... As long as they can get along and... As long as they are still alive... *puts the quill down and looks at what she just wrote*

I just, just...

*closes the book and wraps her arms around him muttering dwarven in his ear as she falls asleep*

merlin34baseball · « **Reply #36 on:** June 15, 2006, 05:13:24 pm »

I awoke several nights ago to voices in the house. Twas Anna, Axo, and Creighton sitting by the fireplace. During our conversation Anna mentioned that Jennara was overwelmed with the collections for Roldem. I volunteered Creighton and myself to assist. I need to move some chests to Hlint to keep them in... I shall do all I can to take the pressure off of Jennara. I spoke with Jennara last night and she said she needed to spend more time scouting the routes to get the supplies there. If I can help collect then she will have more time to accomplish this.

I did not see much of my Love last night. I was so exausted from crafting all day that I was on my way home to bed, when he was just getting up... I hope he wasn't upset that I was too tired to talk for very long. I shall go and find him as soon as I can today. He seems to be getting better at his craft. *smiles* Hopefully the buckets and crafting tables won't suffer his wrath and more. *smiles thinking of him kicking the buckets around* I bet he can make some things for Roldem now, they only need the basics...

I should go find him...

*sits under a tree far from home and opens her journal*

I hope that my love is not worried. I did not mean to leave as suddenly as I did. This mans offer of diamonds seemed too good to be true. *looks at his headless charred body next to the tree* He said he would provide me with 10 diamonds for helping him to his destination... Seems he just wanted to help himself to me. *looks again at the body* He got a little more of me than he bargained for...

*lights the candle as he drifts off to sleep*

Tis good to be home. I can tell he was worried, I shan't do that again.

Creighton and I were in the craft hall. I was watching him work, he has become rather good. *smiles* Anna and Mith came in and Anna spoke of an attack on an orphanage. Seems many of the children were killed but a great healer has raised them. She needs homes for them and Creighton and I have volunteered to take one in. Shall be entertaining seeing him? her? bounce on Creighton and the dwarves laps. I really need to work on getting us our own home now. I am far short of the purchase price.

I am also trying to collect goods for Roldem to help Jennara out. I need to concentrate more on this as well... The chest is rather empty. Tis no wonder he laughs at me when I say I have no cause...

We are to have a party this weekend. A costum party to celebrate our wedding. I hope everyone can attend. It should be interesting to see what everyone will come up with!

My business seems to be going well, to well sometimes. I am having a bit of trouble keeping up with the orders. I must seek out Aralin for more gems.

I have no god... but I must pray. I pray that everyone will come home safe. *knowing it will not be so* I pray the Bloods army falls before the great warriors called by the dragon.

Tis a day that will live on in the history books for the ages. Heros will be made and heros will fall... *thinks about Ash* I pray she escapes unharmed.

I wish I could be there to protect her... all of them. Please let them come home.
