Title: Nyyana's cute diary
Post by: Bryantiza on November 27, 2005, 07:39:00 AM

Entry 1[/U] I can’t believe my brother and father are both gone… What happened to them? *a tear falls onto the page* I have taken care of our family, brother, father… I...I don’t know what else to do other than travel the land looking for you…b…but I’m not strong enough to travel alone... but I will try… Entry 2[/U] I went to that village you always visited father. It was beautiful. The houses… they all housed pretty flowers. I didn’t know what to do from there… I had no money…no food…no weapon… I ran into a bit of good luck though father. A merchant saw me crying on a bench, and he came over to comfort me. He was really nice. Tancherm… that’s his name, he said I could travel with his caravan until I found somewhere to go. I did my best to pay for the kindness they offered me, by cooking them meals and keeping everything organised for them. I…couldn’t believe it. We reached the outskirts of Hurm…a…and we got ambushed monsters…I have no idea…what they were… Tancherm threw himself at them…his wife gave me some gold coins and said to give it to the ship captain and in return he takes me to Hampshire… and she also told me to purchase a weapon once I reach Port Hampshire… I ran and ran and ran…I...I don’t know what happened to them… I hope they are okay… Entry 3[/U] I felt really bad on the ship…I couldn’t keep my food down. The captain…he made fun of me…said I was sea sick… He’s crew had a go at him for making me cry and made him apologise. He’s a really nice man, he knew as many wonderful stories as you father! I never knew it was possible. Entry 4[/U] Well, I arrived at Port Hampshire and, after saying farewell to the captain and his crew I headed towards the shops to get myself a weapon. I looked for hours, trying out different weapons…*she writes in brackets* (sorry Mr Shop keeper…) The shop keeper and I both agreed…that the only weapon I was any good at was a bow… Entry 5[/U] I was a little lost as I headed towards the main entrance…and I met this nice man called Leo. He was really nice and said that the best place for me to go was to Hlint because lots of people gather there…but he said he was too busy to take me and that he would get two of his friends to take me. I waited around for a day or two and then just as I had finished cooking a meal for some people in the inn two holy men entered the inn saying they were looking for me! I clumsily stumbled towards them where one of them helped me regain my balance. They said they were looking for a cute looking girl called Nyyana…I…I went really red. They some how guessed it was me and said that they were here to escort me to Hlint. They were really nice. Defron and Justain were their names. They seemed to have a strange aura around them, but they fight really well in battle, from Hampshire to Hlint, they slaughter loads of monsters. I was so frightened. I’ve never seen monsters like that before. Defron said that the monsters we had fought were HUGE ants, griffons, shadows and ogres…I’m not too sure on which was what though… Entry 6[/U] Upon reaching Hlint, they said that they had some business to attend to, so they left me at the entrance and told me to look around. I saw a little kitty run into the sewers…and I chased after it to see if it was lost…b…but someone locked the sewer gates and I couldn’t get out…I...I was so scared. I peaked round the corner and there was a HUGE rat. I screamed and guess who came to my rescue? It was Elebrathe, your panther. He protected me from the rats, helping me reach the bottom, but then two people came along and scared him away. The rats chased after me so I ran towards the man and this HUGE person. They protected me from the rats an escorted me back out of the sewers. Entry 7[/U] A few days of cooking passed and I met this man called Pendar. He was a real meany. He said I was Leo’s girlfriend. H...he made me really angry inside…and he wouldn’t help this poor man who wanted help killing the undead which lie in the crypts of Hlint. I said I would help but that I wasn’t sure if I would be much help… Pendar agreed to go with him in the end. He was really powerful and fought well against the undead. He even complimented me on my skills with a bow…after he had laughed at me for managing to fire an arrow way of target… it...it wasn’t my fault, he scared me. After we helped the kind man lay all the undead to rest he gave me some gold…I...I didn’t know what it was for…I’ve never really had to use money before and all the other times people have told me what to do with it. Pendar told me what it was for…a…and that I should put it in the bank. I gave the bank man the money…b...but he didn’t give me anything in return. I ran outside to tell Pendar of this theft, but he told me that the bank man would give it back if I asked for it. Entry 8[/U] I met Leo and Defron once again. They said that I could come along with them as long I stayed away from trouble… We headed towards a place they called ‘Grey peaks’ It was really scary, and cold! This lady called Sy was overwhelmed by the ogres and fell, but luckily her soul was still binded to this world…wh…where are you father? ...brother? We headed back and we camped in the rain while we waited for the others. We must have been there for hours. I was really ill. Leo says my face was really white and that I was struggling to stay awake. After we reached Fort Llast, I must have collapsed because all went dark. I awoke in Wild surge inn with Defron standing guard at the door. My head was really throbbing. Defron heard me moan and turned and walked towards me. He looked over me and smiled. He told me to go back to sleep and that he would still be there when I wake up. Leo came to visit me once I was feeling better; he brought me some cooked fish and said it was good for me. It tasted really nice. Defron left at the same time as Leo, so I stumbled out of bed and decided to do some walking. I picked some wheat and some corn and made myself some wheat bread. Bread tastes really nice when it’s freshly cooked!!

Entry 9 I travelled back to Port Hampshire to get some cooking ingredients...but I ended spending all my money on new clothes. I got this pretty dress! When I got back to Hlint I ran into Leo, Defron, Dom and this other man and we all went to this nice little place called North point through this thingy. Its what you used to use father. That thingy that sends you to a far away place in a little amount of time. We went to this underground dungeon filled with Minotaurs! The really really scared me...but they all protected me. We managed to get all the way to the bottom but then we didn't know where to go so we headed back out again. Leo and Defron said my skills with the bow are improving! I'm so happy! They left me behind though. We all sat down for a rest and I fell asleep and they all walked off! Meanies! They made me cry, leaving me alone like that. I'm only little, not strong like them. They all apologised though so I forgave them. When we got out I discovered that they left me behind so that I didn't see them remove a minotaurs head! It was really horrible. They made me scream. They thought it would be funny to walk behind me and hang it over my head! Boys can be really mean, but Defron and Leo seem to be the exception. We all parted way's once we got back to town so I headed back through the teleporter so I could rest in Hlint. I briefly met this nice ogre called Glug, and Dom said he would love to travel with me again. He's really nice apart from when he plays tricks...but I'm not sure who hung the minotuars in front of me...I was too busy screaming. Well anyways, once I got back to Hlint I did a bit of cooking and then headed to Wild surge inn to get some rest.

Entry 10 *the page smells of freshly cooked bread* I saw Sen Today. He gave me some fish some time ago. His really nice, but he ran into some trouble against a HUGE spider. It frightened me just from him speaking about it. He said that it was still waiting for him outside of town, but he asked this girl called Aries if she could help him. She happily accepted, and then the three of us left town after this spider but luckily it had ran away. I quickly ran into the red light caverns to grab some salt for my bread, and then Sen asked if Aries and I would like to accompany him to Seirwood forest to collect some silk. I've never seen so many spiders in one place before in my life. It was so scary. To our disappointment there was no silk lying around so we went back to Hlint. We parted ways from there and I bought some yeast for the bread. I was surprised when I reached the inns kitchen because Sen was doing a bit of cooking also. I...I failed 4 out of 5 attempts at making the bread. I don't know what happened...they didn't rise.... Well, the one successful bit of bread I gave to Sen. I love it when others enjoy my cooking. He loved it and complimented me on my cooking and in return he gave me some of that beautiful fish again. He walked off after awhile, he said he had something important to do...so i just sat in the inn pondering on what to do next.

Entry 11 I met this nice girl called Jennara when I visited hampshire..and this nice man...he was so...charming...but i can't believe i've forgot his name!! Jennara gave me an apple pie and gave me some useful information on where to find stuff. We were talking for AGE's but then a bird Leo sent dropped a bottle on my head. It REALLY hurt! I've still got a lump on my head. He wanted me to head back to Hlint to go on another adventure. Jennara helped me get past the flying birdies and past the undead in the forest. She's really nice. From there on I walked by myself but it was safe. When I reached Hlint I saw Leo and Defron. They collected together some others. Daemon, Nimo and Liztzyr. When we had reached the ruins again Leo told us all what to do and when to do it. He's really smart but Liztzyr didn't listen and fell in combat twice! Defron also collapsed once but he was soon back on his feet. It was pretty sucessful, although I almost fell down a REALLY deep whole but luckily Nimo saved me. He caught me as I was falling. It was pretty succesful until Leo fell and he keeps on saying he doesn't feel as whole as he used to... I wonder what he means? Do you know father? brother? Leo said I was getting really good at the bow! He even said i was better than Nimo, who also used a bow. I was SO happy. After we got out everyone parted ways but Nimo asked me if I wanted to see what he does for a living so I thought it couldn't be too bad.b..but i was wrong. He's a theif father! he breaks into peoples houses and steals stuff...I am ashamed... I helped him steal some stuff...b...but I dropped it all and ran off! I..I don't know why I did it.. wasn't I thinking? I ran away and jumped through the teleporter back to Mistone and ran into Hlint.. I hope he doesn't laugh at me again..he's a real meany.. but he seems to joke about everything...b..but his nice...I don't know why I like him.. I..I suppose he reminds me of Kione. He was just like Nimo.... I...I miss you all... * a tear marks the page*

Entry 12 I'm having a wonderful time here father, brother. People compliment me more and more as the weeks pass on my skills with a bow. My stuttering has begun to get less and less frequent! Leo and Defron set up another trip. We travelled all the way to this place could blood desert, then looped round and we actually ended up back in Hlint! Once we got back their Nimo handed out the money we had earnt and we used it to get to North point again to do some more minotaur slaying. I feel sorry for those poor cowy thingies! Pyyran and Lan kept on falling and Defron had to keep on using his devine magic to bring them back. I could see in his eyes that he was losing something everytime he ressurected someone...although i'm not sure what.... There was alot of people with us today...I think i can remember all there names.. erm.. there was me, Leo, Defron, ...Nimo..Lan, Pyyran and erm...Rylok and there was one other...erm...Starr! Nimo is just a big meany at heart. He wasn't very nice to everyone..and Pyyran seemed abit big headed.. I really hope neither of them find my diary and read it!! I can fire arrows more faster now! I was able to fire off 3 arrows before anyone else was able to hit them! My skills really must be progressing! My magic is proving useful to! I met this nice lady and she taught me a spell which changes my clothes instantly! It's really handy! I just hope it never...fails.. I have to say the trip to the minotaurs was pretty sucessful..a..although Defron looked pretty tired afterwards from all the powerful spells he had to cast...I..I hope he is okay. Leo had recovered from our last trip there..b.but we found his grave! A gravestone still rest where he had fallen before... He was really shocked...but he looked the gravestone over and it suddenly disappeared! I hate the rain in north point! why does it always rain!! After they gave me my money I ran back to the bank to hide from the rain. Well I hope you are well! I love you both!

Entry 13[/i] I spent my time in Northpoint as the constant teleporting was making me feel ill. Leo and Defron came back to see if I was alright and they also wanted to check if the minatuars had finally learnt not to come back, but sadly they never. We weren't there long, oh and Rog came along too. We decided to explore! We went through these really creepy mountains and ended up in this town. It began with a 'D' but I can't remember the name. Leo and Defron complimented me on my continuous progression with my bow! I was able to kill a minatuar alone today...although it ws due to the build up of them along a thin bridge..and I was using my bow from a fair distance away. Well anyways Leo said that I could lead the exploration. We wandered around for what seemed ages but then we came across a huge destert. As we entered this weird half man half huge ant attacked Leo. We almost never made it but luckily we were able to over power the meany. The desert was SO hot. I drank alot! We managed to get all the way through the desert and ended up in this rainy place with just one house sitting on its own. We decided just to carry on walking past it but then it began to get alot colder and we ended up in this really cold and snowy place. Leo and Defron were holding off some giants that came running down one of the hills and me and Rog fired as fast and accuratly at the giant as we could. The meany threw a boulder at me! It's a good thing I saw it coming or I wouldn't have been able to write my story to you father, brother. Well, we wandered further along and we ran into a Drake! we ran for our dear lives but sadly the drake caught Rog and Defron. Leo and I were able to escape with out lives, barely. It appears that the ancients bind points that you told me about are still woring as we met up with Defron and Rog as we we're fighting our way through the desert. We we're able to help Defron and Rog get over their falling and we decided to get out of there as quickly as possible and to head back to north point. As we exited the desert Defron said he had some business that needed some attention so we parted ways with him and continued to North point. We entered that town i mentioned that begun with a 'D' and this man was being chased by this HUGE Golem! We tried helping him but there was no way we stood a chance so we decided to retreat and run for our lives.... I hope that man is okay... Well we got back to North point and I was really tired. Leo gave me and Rog some money that he had gathered from the giants and the minataurs...i wonder why they have money? Maybe they like the way it sparkles? Well Rog and Leo escorted me to the inn in North Point and I rented a room where i'm staying the night.

Entry 14[/i] I done alot of cooking and I feel i'm getting alot better! Leo came along to this really dark and scary cave in seirwood to help me get this girls necklace and then we went to northpoint again. I was trying to put some of my magic into my arrows..but I failed. I'm just not strong enough yet... Hopefully one day I will be able to. The trip went really well and no one died! Yay! I have been collected loads of rhubarb leaves and sold them to this nice man. Afterwards I was unsure of what to do but decided it would be fun to do more cooking. Sen suprised me while I was busy grinding some wheat. He gave me some fish fillets and some raspberries for my cooking. This girl was attacked by these mercenaries and I couldn't just stand there and watch so I ran in to help her... I fired an arrow...barely missing her but it killed the mercenary. She was very pleased and apoligised for the trouble. I was alittle bored after that but i've found a new pass time! Fishing! I know both of you, father, brother, loved going fishing. When I find you we can all go fishing together! I fished for hours and hours and hours and caught loads of fish and then I cooked them all on a fire! They taste really nice. I'm really tired from the long day so I think i'll go to bed now. I rented a room in Wild surge inn. Good night!

Entry 15[/i] Fishing is SO much fun. Not only do I get fish for tea, I am able to practise with my long bow. Defron and myself wanted to kill the minatuars but Leo was no where to be seen so we invited this weird man called Trysk. He invited some of his friends Abigail, Angella and Dorena. We got to the ruins of madness and all went terribly wrong. Trysk fell in the first moments of combat but we were able to subdue the remaining minataurs and we all waited for him to return. Abigail seems to enjoy teasing people, but she seems really mean. Angella is quite nice but Dorena is a erm.. ranger and she got really angry when Trysk and that killed some Dire boar. I still don't understand what that was all about... Well anyways before that we managd to kill the chieftan and take it to coco. After that we headed through these really scary mountains, but we came out at this really nice little town. We were talking for alittle while and Abigail and Angella kept on asking me questions. I was getting really embarresed and shy. We continue to head along and took down loads of ogres on this big hill, thats when Dorena got angry. She ran off and I never saw her again after that. While in the cave Angella fell because loads of ogres ambushed us. This other man joinded us there. He's name started with a 'Q' but I can't remember he's name. Well anyways after escaping from the ogres we headed towards Pranzis. We were climbing down this hill and Trysk said I had to jump. My botty still hurts. *theres a little picture of a face in pain* We had to climb back up the hill on the other side. It was really slippery but luckily I was able to keep my grip. Once we reached the outskirts of Pranzis it was all plain sailing. As we walked through the gates I was stunned by the beauty of the city. Everyone ran off so I was left with Abigail and she kept on saying mean things. I shot this water tank from really far away...but Abigail showed me up and shot arrow splitting my one in two, and then fired another one spliting her first arrow in two. She's really skilled, I hope I get as good as her one day. Q took us to his house after Trysk finished smelting his metal and we used the teleporter in his back room to take us back to Hlint. I said my good byes and Defron had to go. I wondered to Hlint and someone threw a stink bomb at me and I choked and collapsed. I couldn't remember what had happened when I finally awoke but this warf said something about stink bomb and passing out. I found Leo after that and we went back to Northpoint with loads of different people. We went back to see the minataurs again and things went ...well pretty chaoticly but it still went well and we were able to get out with out lives ...well most of us anyways. After we managed to get back out and into the forest a fey attacked us but somehow, for the first time ever we were able to kill it. I headed back to Northpoint after that and I found myself sitting near the cows and I'm now writing in this here diary. I suppose I should find a room somewhere and get some rest.

Entry 16 Hehe i'm still doing alot of fishing. My aim is getting alot better due to it! It has been really action packed these past few days! It all started this morning where I met this nice man called Quin. He walked up to me while I was standing outside of the inn shivering. It was really cold! Quin asked me if I would like to join him in the inn for a meal before he leaves for this Arabel..wherever that may be.. He bought me some soup and asked me about myself..I told him of you and brother and what I do for fun. I was really shocked as he kissed me on the cheek before he left. I went really red... Afew hours later I ran into Sen and he introduced me to the greatest sorcerer in Hlint at the time.. Anoron and this this girl called Nim..she had REALLY white skin. Anyways I asked Sen if he could make me an umbrella and he said he would try. We walked to the crafting hall and he couldn't seem to get his head around it and gave me a try. I wasn't sure what to do so I just started banging it and stuff but I was clueless. Then Sen tried again and I told him what it should look like and he went to work at it and the result is this umbrella. Its really nice and keeps me dry when its raining! He's so clever! We parted ways after that and I ran into Leo and Defron. We went to the minataurs again. Things didn't go to well at first, so we decided to rest in a quiet bit of the ruins. Luckily no minataur came along. Defron fell again but all was well as he was back by the time we had lost the raging minataur chasing Leo and myself. That was really scary. We headed back to Hlint after that and Leo said he had something fun to do so Defron and myself headed to Leilon to get a boat to Hurm. When we got there we were ambushed by pirates which we were luckily able to subdue, but Defron wasn't so lucky once we met a pirate with powerful magic and I only just managed to escape. As I ran crying back to Hurm I ran into this elf called Mith, I didn't find out his name till alot later when angela told me. Defron was able to get over his falling and we made our way to the Iron hills but Mith, the meany shouted at me and told me to go back somewhere safe and that she would turn up after awhile... I only wanted to see Angela.... We waited for hours and hours but he never returned with her and I didn't know what to do so we headed towards North fort in the desert. It was a safe trip but once we got there we were attacked by lots of ants. It was then that I realised I forgot to stock up on arrows!! Defron said he would come with me but I said that I would be fine and that i'd be back real soon. I thought I would be fine until I came across a cougar which had wandered over and was waiting at the bottom of a big flight of stairs in the hill side. I wasn't sure what to do at first so I looked into this little book I have and said one of the spells. A pretty blue ball flew out of my hands and hit the cougar... That made it really angry and it started chasing me. Elebrathe, our family guardian came to my rescue though and made the cougar run away. The trip back to Daranthar was easy after that and I bought lots of arrows after spending atleast 10 minutes searching for the shops. I ran as fast as I could back to Defron, but when I reached the plains that the cougar attacked me I saw Angela breifly with that meany Mith. I was struggiling to get down the hill but I decided to slide down the hill on my botty to get away from Mith. My bum still hurts! I ran back to the desert to make sure Defron was okay, but he had gone back to North fort for a drink and a rest. We went back into the desert and began to fight our way through but we got caught in the middle of the enemies and we were surrounded from all sides. We began fighting our way back to the fort, and we were really worn out. The ants almost overpowered us but Leo came with reinforcements just in time! Elebrathe did really well to get that message to him so quick! We manged to get back to North fort where we rested for afew hours and got our strength back but Leo left us but then we headed back into the desert and saw this REALLY REALLY REALLY big Scorpian! It almost ate me but we managed to bring it down just in time! We got to the other side of the desert and entered this place with a single house on its own and it was raining really hard. Its good thing Sen made me that umbrella! We carried on walking and the rain slowly began to turn to snow and we ran into some giants! They trampled on Defron and he fell to the floor! The other two archers and myself were able to bring them down though, and then we headed back to Defron who's soul had been caught by the bind stones and we helped him recover from yet another death....I really feel its my fault that he always gets hurt trying to protect everyone..... We all headed back to North fort and everyone parted ways. I decided to stay for a little bit to rest and when I had awoken everyone had gone leaving me there alone. I ran as fast as I could towards hurm, but I kept on hearing wolves howling and it sounded like it was getting closer and closer. I got to the outskirts of Hurm and all them meany mercenaries were in the tree's and I didn't know what to do. I must have been there for HOURS then out of nowhere Angela and Mith came along. Mith cast an invisibility spell on me and they both helped me get back to Hurm. Angela and I got onto the ship and headed to Leilon but Mith stayed there and said that he would meet us at Fort Llast. After the ship pulled into the port Angela said we would go to meet Mith and so we went to Fort llast and we entered this house. Mith was there somehow...did he take a teleporter back? Oh and I met this lady called Ireth...she seems to love talking and I sat there for hours listening to her with Angela. Mith just sat there looking at a scroll and Trysk turned up after awhile. He never tied his ox up and it followed him into her house. He called it Zeos. That name seems familiar.. well anyways he joined in with the conversation and he took his mask off. I had never seen him without his mask on and I began to stare and he saw me. I was really embarressed. Angela Stood up to take a drink and then Mith suddenly stood up and pushed her then sat back down again. He is strange. She almost fell on me but luckily caught her balance. She sat next to me after that and then Trysk suddenly said that he had panther meat. That made me kind of mad inside. How could he do such things to such noble and graceful creatures? He says he respects animals and yet he kills the mightest of animals? I ran out of the room and went to look for Elebrathe to make sure he hadn't hurt him but luckily Elebrathe came running when I called his name. Angela and Trysk followed me shortly after. Elebrathe seems to like Angela, but I think he could sense that Trysk had killed some of he's fellow kind and had their remains in his bag. I told him to leave it and thankfully he walked off after getting another scratch behind the ears from Angela. Trysk promised me that he would not hurt another panther, he better keep his word or so help him... Angela gave me a hug as she had to go and I realised I wasn't even sure where I was. Mith pointed me in the direction of Hlint and so off I went to get some much needed sleep. Good night father and brother.

Entry 17 I decided to go to Hurm when I woke up and guess who I ran into? Abigail and Angela! They invited me along and they went to Iron hills to get some...Well...iron. Trysk turned up as well once we had left the caves. I hope he hasn't killed any more panthers… We headed to the desert after that and killed lots of giants as Shelu and some of the others needed their heads...for some strange reason.... We got out with our lives which is good! We made our way back to the outskirts of Daranthar and I started stroking this nice cow! it was really cute! Everyone else was talking as some of them needed to leave. Angela, Shelu and Barion left, and Trysk, Abigail erm…this other person and I went back to the iron hills as Abigail needed some dire bear skins. It went successfully and we all headed back to Leilon then. I love ships! Trysk wanted me to make him 10 black knight malts so I told him that I needed him to get me hop flowers and blackberries. I got my hands on the other ingredients but i never realised that I was getting enough ingredients for 40 bottles!! While I was waiting for Trysk to bring back the other ingredients I did all that I could in the inn, and Abigail came to keep me company. She's really nice and we talked about lots of different things! Trysk finally came back after what seemed minutes due to Abigail keeping me company. I made every bottle successfully... It's a good thing its for some armour Abigail was making for him or I may have stumbled past him on the street....but I did give him 30 extra bottles... err I think I had better go look for him after I finish writing this.... Well after giving the bottles to Trysk I wandered around for awhile and bumped into Abigail again at the craft hall. We talked even more and then she suddenly asked this man if he thought I was pretty. I was so embarrassed! He said that he thought I was attractive...attractive? It took a mouth off and an evil glare to get him to say I was pretty...am I not pretty? Everyone says I’m cute though... Should I be happy about that?..... I don't see why not! I think cute is much better than being pretty! People like me because they think I’m adorable! Not because I am pretty and loud mouthed!.......... Everyone went to this girl called Ayla's wake. I never went because I never really knew her. I decided to go back to Hurm again. While I was on the ship I met this man called Dom. He said that he was meeting Leo at Hurm, and said that I could join them after I said I knew him. When we arrived he vanished somewhere and I walked into town alone looking for Leo. It took a little bit of searching but I found him in the end. Dom turned up a few minutes later with a friend of his. We left to head towards Daranthar but those pirates ambushed us again. Dom and his friend fell, but only Dom came back. I wonder what happened to his friend? Leo was running around frantically trying to distract the pirates and due to the practise I had put in against the fish, I was able to bring down the pirates chasing after him. We headed back to Hurm and rented 3 rooms in the inn and got some rest, before heading to iron hills. Once we got there Dom ran in and got a few of them to chase after him at a time. I suppose the ogres didn't consider us a threat, so they didn't all rush us at once like they usually do when I go with Trysk and that. We fought our way into the caves and were able to subdue all the ogres down there but as we headed back to the surface it appears they had sent reinforcements and they jumped us as we walked through one of the door ways. Luckily we were ready for it and although not easily, took down the ambush party. As we exited the cave we were ambushed again, it appears they had sent out a distress message and had set up ambushes all over the place, but we were aware of what they were up to, and although they scared me half to death Leo and Dom beat them all up! We thought we would be able to get back to Hurm easily after that but a HUGE bear attacked us with loads of ogres. They had me backed into a corner but luckily I was able to run through one of the ogre’s legs and run towards Leo and Dom where they charged them. We decided that things were getting too dangerous and that we should head back to Hurm, and take a ship back to Leilon. I went on ahead and took a ship back...but I still have not heard from either of them. I hope they both got back okay to. Once back I headed to Hlint and just walked around for awhile looking for Angela and Abigail but instead ran into Quin again! We talked for hours and hours and I told him that I was looking for Angela and Abigail and he asked me where I was planning to look first.... I didn't have a clue and just smiled and giggled. I got really tired though so I told him that I would rent a room at the inn and rest for the night. I now find myself writing this. I think its time for me to meditate, I’ll look for Trysk in the morning...I’m sure he hasn't drunken all of it....

Entry 18 After I left the inn this morning I ran into Pendar again. He really confuses me. I asked him why he was always mean to me and he just answered with questions. He made me cry so I ran away as fast as I could. Hours and hours past before I could get the courage to come back to Hlint. I entered town and bumped into abigail where we chatted for awhile, but then Trysk came along and they begun to talk about something. A business proposition I think, I couldn't really understand them. Trysk came up to me and gave me this pretty little necklace. He said it was for me as a friend of mine had done something for him... I wonder what he meant? What friend? They both walked away after that and I waved goodbye, then sat by the door of one of the wagons in town. I couldn't wait to see little Emila. Thats mr's Ephir's daughter. She's so ADORABLE! She said her husband was off defending a far away city from monsters and that she recieves letters from he every couple of months. She let me play with Emila for hours and hours. She turned 2 years old just last week! I was really sad when it was her bed time and I didn't know what to do so I thought that I may as well go aventuring! I took a boat to hurm, and then treked for hours and hours and hours. I went to Dalanthar first, then made my way through the desert to this city! I wonder why its in the middle of the desert? There was a huge oasis there so I had a little dip! I hope no one saw me! After my little dip I continued going south but this HUGE giant started chasin after me. I thought it was going to flatten me but I ran as fast as I could and made it back to town and for some reason the giant turnt back. I didn't want to risk being trodden on again so I decided to head back to Dalanthar. As I just had Dalanthar in my sights a beetle started flying towards me and hitting me. It bit REALLY hard but luckily Tobias was there and he saved me but we were only able to chat breifly as he was late. I decided to head through the great rift to get to North point. Once I got there I looked around, chatted to the locals then headed back to Dalanthar and from there I went to Hurm and caught a ship back to Leilon and I slowly made my way to Hlint and when I arrived I rented a room and collapsed on the bed and began to meditate.

Entry 19[/U] I awoke today to find myself wanting to do some more exploring. This time though, I wanted to go to the southern part of Dregar. I skipped along the road towards the harbor in port hampshire and met up with that ship captain again and he agreed to take me to Point harbor. When I arrived there I gave the captain some of my bread which I cooked earlier that day. Hehe he was over the moon. The trek through Rilara was pretty dangerous but luckily that map and set of instructions Trysk gave me proved to be really useful. He really knows his way around! I found this beautiful lake while I was walking along and found some new fish that i'd never seen before. They taste really nice! Not sure what they were though... I feel that I am getting better and better at fishing with each passing day, oh and I found some lovely apples, blackberries and cranberries as i walked further through. It was a long trop though so i'm greatful for all the food I had brought with me! When I finally reached Karthy I was amazed as to how beautiful it is there, but after taking the shop to Lorindar, I had realised that with every new town I went to visit, the more beautiful the cities were. Lorindar was beautiful beyond words! And it's HUGE!! As I arrived guess who I bumped into!?! Leo! I was stunned to find him all the way out here, but it appears he was just as puzzled as to why he was there. He said that he was standing there one minute, then the next he was standing in Lorindar and thats when I spotted him and ran up to him. We walked out of town, although I think now we wish we never did. We walked along, just chatting away when suddenly a HUGE boulder came flying out of nowhere and we were only just able to jump out of the way! Leo tried fighting it head on but it was no use. He was almost beaten to death so It lay down to me to distract him with arrows while Leo got out his bow. It ran really fast towards me but then suddenly an arrow hit it in the back and it turned round and ran towards Leo, then I shot it in the back, then Leo repeated, but this time it didn't turn around! It continued to chase me round and round as I tried to fire some arrows off as I ran. Leo was able to bring it down just before I became thinner than paper. As we headed back to Lorindar we were attacked by HUGE mushrooms which came from nowhere. Leo was able to hold them back while I picked them off one by one! They kept on producing this really stinky smell but luckily there was a strong breeze but it still smelt REALLY bad! I lost Leo after that as I ran to the ships when we got back to Lorindar and sailed back to Karthy. I ventured through the forests again and picked the fruit I had missed on my first visit and then came to the lake again where I did another spot of fishing. I heard the sound of fighting though so I ran as fast as I could towards it and found Leo fighting with some meany mercernaries. Nothing like the people you hired father! I helped him pick the last few off and then we headed back through the forests and parted ways when we reached the ships in Point harbor. I sailed to Port Hampshire but he didn't catch the same boat as me so i'm not sure what happened to him. After I got back I made some apple juice and cranberry juice with the things I had collected, and then set out towards Leilon so that I could that another ship to Hurm. I wanted to see the cows again so once I reached Hurm I treked through the wasteland and just as I thought I had got past all the pirates this mean litte dwark came from no where and chased me for ages and ages and ages! I ran around the cow pen. I thought he would never go away but he fell over exhausted after awhile and I ran off to the safety of Dalanthar. I spent afew hours there, but then I thought it would be safer to go back to Hlint and get some rest. I peeked through a whole in the gates to see if the dwarf had left but he was still laying unconscious by the cows. I quietly sneaked back towards Hurm and got back without incident. I almost missed the boat to but I got there just in time! It was night time when I reached Leilon and I saw Abigail and Angela and they invited me back to their house. I accepted and we went to their bedroom. They got me some new clothes but i'm not sure what they did with my old ones... Alot more happened tonight but i'm sure you wouldn't want to hear about it just yet father, brother, and i'm not sure if I want to write it down yet. Well anyways, they said I could sleep over for the evening so I better go to bed now incase I disturb them...

Entry 20 I awoke this morning lying in Angela and Abigails bed. It appears they had left hours before hand and had left me to get some much needed sleep. I turned to the side and looked at the new clothes they had spent alot of time and effort making and wondered if they would mind me making some..alterations to make it less revealing. I didn't really want to incase I upset them. They are good friends and the last thing I want to do is to upset them. I clumbered out of bed and realised that I never had any clothes on. Abigail and Angela must have removed them while I was in deep meditation... I got up and wrapped the blanket around myself, walking towards my clothes. I looked down at them and sighed. The clothes they made for me had no leggings at all. It was a dress of sorts, and a very beautiful one at that, but it was a little...skimpy. I drop the blanket to the floor and grabbed my clothes, slipping into them nicely and doing up the buttons. I looked around for the shoes and when I found them they appearred to be too big! I put them on and they had lots of room at the end which made it quite uncomfortable. I walked over to the mirror and looked at my bare legs. What was I suppose to do? There was no other clothing in the house. I opened the front door and looked around to make sure no one was out there and then ran towards blackford castle. The teenage boys began looking at me and I got REALLY embarresed. I ran and ran and ran until I got to the goblin wastelands. I sat round the back of some tree's for hours trying to think what I should do, and to try to pluck up the courage to walk around in my new attire. I stood up, and marched towards the gates of Hlint, but then I heard someone coming so I ran back into the tree's again. I had to pluck up the courage! I had to! I couldn't live in the tree's for the rest of my life. When the man walked out of sight I ran towards the gates and as I entered town everyone looked at me! Even captain Garent! I went as red as a strawberry! the shoes were really uncomfortable so I headed round by the pond and rested my feet for awhile. I stood up and walked along abit and that girl Aries invited me to join her on a trip. Although I was still really red with embarressment no one mentioned anything about the clothes as we went through the depts of Storans crypt. the group I went with were really nice and protected me from harm. After that everyone parted ways and I began to walk back to Hlint. I stopped while walking on the road that takes you to fort llast because my feet were really hurting me and this man came along. I can't remember if he told me his name or not... well anyways we talked for awhile and then he started looking at my legs. I started to feel enbarressed again and turnt to the side so that he couldn't get an eye full! He said that he had some important business to attend to after that and he ran back to Hlint. While talking to him I realised that I could take the shoes to that shop in Port Hampshire and trade them in for a smaller pair. On my way there though I ran into this really nice woman called Nim. She said I looked very pretty in my dress and so did the other people there too...but I have discovered that I am the only person that cannot see how pretty I am. What is wrong with me? Is that the reason why I stutter? She invited me to join her to some mountains near fort valensk. This really nice woman called Alantha was there to, and Leo and Rylok! When we got there Leo kept on running off now and then but it all turned out fine! We treked into the forests behind this town and these giants attacked us! Luckily Alanthar is REALLY strong and protected us all. We got to this dwarven stronghold and Nim was looking for someone called Garg I think. I kind of got lost though and ended up really deep in the stronghold and I could hear water all over the place. I got really scared and started running as fast as I could anywhere I could and then Alanthar found me and I wiped the tears from my eyes and she led me back to the others. She's a really nice lady. We managed to get back to fort Valensk where Leo said he had to go and he ran off. This man called Sharp came along and began talking to us and said he was looking for someone that he had to deliver a letter to at a place called fort Herliem or something like that. I remembered going fishing near there once and told him where I thought it was and that he needed to take a boat from Port Hampshire. I needed to go there anyways to trade in the shoes and Nim and Alanthar decided to come to. Once we go there Nim decided to take Sharp to the fort and Alanthar showed me where the tailoring building was. I asked around in there if they could make me a new pair, or trade for a smaller pair but it appears they don't do them shoes anymore and that they don't make them via request. The shoes were really hurting my feet so I decided to put them in my bag and i've just been walking bare footed since and it's quite comfortable. I'm not sure if I should rework the clothes. I'll ask Abigail and Angela when I next see them. Today has been pretty tiring and I could do with a nice and peaceful meditation, I wonder what the inn is like here in Port Hampshire...

Entry 21[/i] I awoke this morning to the smoky rooms of Port Hampshire, a major difference after spending the night in a lovely warm bed at Abi and Angela's house. I asked them about the strange disappearance of my underwear but they said it was only thin material and that it probably ripped and fell off as I was moving around a lot when I was meditating, must have been the strange feel of a soft bed and clean silky sheets that did it. Well anyways when I awoke from meditation I clambered up to my feet and splashed the murky inn water over my face. It had a cold refreshing crispness to it that the warm, flower tinted water at Abi and Angela's house never had. I staggered out of the inn room still half asleep and sat down at the bar. The inn keeper came over and kept me company as I ate a wonderful inn cooked meal. No matter what inn I stayed at they always made wonderful food! I was still wondering around without those shoes on, and it seemed to have a very...natural feel to it. Almost as if i was bouncing, or constantly skipping around. I must say walking around bare footed has a wonderful feeling although it does get might chilly in the night time! I made my way back to Hlint, but my feet were REALLY hurting after walking across all though stones around Fort Llast. On arrival or Hlint I sat by the pond and began to day dream about ships sailing the open sea. I don't know why but I really love ship! I sensed Elebrathe wandered past me and headed towards the sewers. He must have gone to catch some rats to munch on. I walked over to the crypts after that as I could have sworn I heard someone screaming from inside.... I opened the rusty old gates and walked through into the darkness only to be greeted by a scary skeleton grinning at me! I kind of...over reacted and shoot it in the face really hard with an arrow... It's a good thing it was already dead or that would have been painful. I made my way deeper and deeper into the crypts, and I could have sworn someone was following me...but I looked around but couldn't see anyone. Well I reached the bottom and this evil looking thingy attacked me, but luckily he killed all of his own minions as he tried to hurt me. I fired my arrows as fast as I could and it fell to the floor and certainly never got back up again! It didn't take long to get out of the now silent and empty crypts and I decided to go over to Wild surge inn for some green tea. I really love that stuff, it seems to have a very relaxing smell and taste! I found that Hlint was getting a little too busy so I decided to make my way to Port Hampshire. On my arrival I decided to pay the tailoring hall another visit. I walked through the well decorated and stunning front door and walked over to the back, to find Abigail standing there trying on some stockings! We began talking and Angela turned up a little while afterwards and they said that they would like to redesign my clothes to suit me better.. I didn't have anything else to wear other than this long belt so I had to be a little creative. I took off my clothes and handed it to Abi, and then wrapped the belt around myself. A few moments later I remembered that I had invited Trysk to come along and meet my there. I ran around trying to find where to hide and found a nice spot behind the cloth machine. I sat there for awhile but just as Trysk opened the door Angela gave me some of her old clothes and I dressed myself as quickly as I possibly could. He walked in and looked at me strangely as he wondered why I was standing there with clothes hanging off me. I was standing there holding the trousers up and hoping they wouldn't fall down. Trysk gave me this pretty little necklace and Abi said I should choose what type of top I wanted. We looked through them all for quite awhile but I couldn't make up my mind. I told Abi to decide for me instead. She chose this pretty little top and then put it all together then handed them to me. I walked out of Trysks sight and got changed. I walked happily back to Angela and offered her, her old clothes back but she said they looked better on me... She made it obvious as she asked Trysk while I was with Abi if he thought my butt looked nice in the clothes. I blushed so badly! Trysk had some business to attend to so Abi and Angela said they needed some topaz so we headed towards this cave near these woods. We got the topaz and got out of there. We trekked back to Fort Valensk, which we had passed on the way there to find a huge group of people. They were all being mean to each other, especially this girl who was being REALLY mean to Leo. Abi got angry with Leo again because he mentioned her name, but she said to me that she was only teasing when I got annoyed with everyone. Abi walked off and after a brief argument with that girl, and everyone else still bickering I ran off after her. When I reached her I was crying as I was really upset with all the arguing. She said people were like that, and we then boarded a shop to Dragon isle. The ship ride there really relaxed me and when we reached the isles I was feeling happy again, mainly because the ship is really relaxing as it goes UP...and DOWN....UP....and DOWN... What a wonderful feeling...although Abi doesn't like it much and she was feeling sick for the whole journey. I asked them why those people were mean and Abi said not everyone is a Xeenite. I didn't understand and I asked her what a Xeenite was. She said that she was a goddess...but what’s a goddess? She said she would explain it to me later. Ireth arrived a few moments later and we headed to these caves to beat up some mean cows. They are such meanies those cow's, no where near as nice as the ones near Dalanthar! That didn't take us long to teach them a lesson and we headed back to Fort Valensk. I was telling Trysk how his mask smelt really funny and that he should wash it! You'll never guess where he washes it! In the sea! No wonder it smells so bad and is going slightly green! He had to leave though...I hope I never hurt his feelings... We made our way to Port Hampshire though after he left as the ships captain refused to take us to Leilon...I don't understand why though, so we made the short trek there and met this man called Q and his soon to be wide Anne...or was it Anna... Ireth got really angry when he blessed her with the power of his god, Toran. I was confused by this too and asked them if Toran was another goddess and Abi said yeah and that she would explain it more later. Abi had to pull Ireth away as she was getting really angry and so we said good bye to Q and made our way to Port Hampshire where we took a ship to Leilon. When we arrived we waited around for a few hours for Angela to arrive as she had left earlier to tend to some business. Barion said he needed to go as he was really tired and so we parted ways with him. Angela arrived after awhile but Ireth had run off to apologise...or to speak to Q. When she got back she said that she really needed to use the teleporter in Abi and Angela's house so instead of going to Hurm we went back to their house where Ireth said she needed to get to someone called Jet. I stood around as Angela and Abi put stuff in their chests when the door suddenly slammed shut on in. I've got a really big lump on my head now. It REALLY REALLY hurt. Angela and Abi tried to make it feel better but had to put some herbal creams on the bump. We headed off back to their bedroom where we talked for hours and hours, then we went to bed as they offered me a place to rest and said I could stay whenever I liked! I wonder what I’ll do when I finish meditating...

Entry 22 I awoke from meditation to find myself heavily wrapped in blankets. I ruled off the side of the bed and managed to break free from the grasp of the mighty blankets. I staggered to my feet, looking around to see if anyone else was in, but there wasn't. I gabbed my clothes and cheerfully skipped towards Hlint. Upon arrival of Hlint I ran into that nice girl again…erm Aries! She asked me I would like to go on an adventure with her and a few other. We headed towards Leilon, oh and that nice man Sen was with us to! We took a boat from Leilon to Port Hampshire then from there...or was it from Fort Valensk....well anyways we took a boat to Dragon isle where the party took shape. We made our way inland, knocking away ambushes and attacks from those walking trees and other weird creatures. Nim was there to supply us with her wonderful skills with magic. We scaled our way through the mighty cave full of cows...err I mean Minotaur. All went pretty well, but my arms we cut up a bit because a Minotaur kept on throwing axes at me! It really hurt but everyone used there healing magic on me to seal up the wound. Nim wasn't so lucky though as on the way out she fell very quickly to a horde of Minotaur. I feel she will never be the same again... We managed to get out of the cave without any other events. We took a quick rest when we reached the burning light of the forest then made our way to the docks where the ships captain was waiting for us. The ship took us to fort Valensk and from there most of the group left as they had some urgent business to attend to elsewhere. It was Sen, Aries, this ogre man and I left. I was stroking the cows and collecting corn and I never noticed everyone walking away. I ran towards the entrance and looked around to see if I was able to catch up with them although luckily Sen had left a small note by one of the tree's outside of town which said that they headed north towards the forest. I ran as fast as I could and found them being attacked by loads of spiders! I quickly grabbed my bow and fired as quickly as possible taking down all the spiders I could with Aries as the other two recovered from their wounds. We fought our way through the forest, knocking back all the spiders so that we could get through to the hills to the east. We managed to get the spiders to back down and as we turned...WHAM! This HUGE giant came as if from no where and attacked us unprepared. We fought long and hard...one more hit...that’s all that was needed...but I couldn't fire quick enough...It smashed me in the face so hard that when I awoke I was in Hlint feeling really light headed a dazed. Sen was there also, and he helped me to a chair. We sat for a few minutes till Quin came along and asked if we were okay. We told him what had happened and he offered to escort us to Leilon. I walked pretty fast on the way there and collapsed when I was near that big castle. Quin and Sen helped me up and I took it slow from then on. We reached the docks in Leilon and I waved goodbye to Quin as we sailed to Port Hampshire. The ship pulled in and I went over to the next one still slightly dazed and took the next ship to Fort Valensk. I arrived in Fort Valensk and staggered through town still light headed. Sen must have missed the last boat as he wasn't anywhere to be seen. I left through the gates of Valensk and bumped into Aries. She used some of her magic on me and Sen turned up just after. We ran towards where those mean giants ambushed us and we got over the events that occurred there. A few more giants ran around the corner, but we were ready this time and we forced them to retreat. After that I decided to have some rest so I headed to Haven. i sat there for hours and hours then made my way to Hlint. I sat on one of the benches outside of town next to this man called Cel...well that’s what Abi called him. Abi asked him to explain to me what goddesses and religion are....but I was more confused after he told me than when I had no knowledge of them at all. Abi left briefly and said she would be right back and that she wants Cel to look after me. I sat there for awhile but then I realised that I could make Sen some different flavoured juices as he gave me some earlier. I sprung up from the chair and ran towards Leilon where I took a boat to Hampshire and from there to Point Harbour. I arrived on Rilara where I began to gather fruits and stuff, blackberries, cranberries, apples and even some fish. I was grabbing some more blackberries when Abi walked up from behind me and asked why I was there. I said I was gathering fruit and stuff to make drinks and she smiled and showed me where I could get my hands on some grapes. She showed me around the temple of Xeenite. It sure was pretty. We headed back to the lake where Cranberries grow and we met Angela. What are the chances of meeting these two here? Angela wanted to fight some giants in the next part of the forest to see how strong they were so we walked deeper into the forest and Abi and Angela took them down then afterwards they said it was up to me as to where to go next. I sat there for at least half an hour trying to decide and in the end the only thing I decided on was I wanted to go a kitchen. They agreed then we made our way back to Point harbour to look for a kitchen I could use but sadly no one would let us use a kitchen so we took a ship to Port Hampshire where I began making all the juices. I was in there for hours so I’m not sure what Abi and Angela were up to but I found them outside of Port Hampshire’s gates sitting by a fire. They again asked me where I wanted to go. I said it would be nice to go see miss daisy the cow near Dalanthar and they kind of agreed. We headed to Leilon via boat and dropped of at there house to which I thought was going to be a quick visit. Hours passed of talking.... But I think I made Angela feel guilty and she ran off. Abi and I ran after her and we entered the forest near Leilon. The rain was thundering down as I looked for her and I was completely drenched when I finally found her. She told me to go back to the house and dry off or I would get ill, but I didn't care. I had to make sure Angela was alright. She agreed to come back with us to their house but I started to get light headed when I got there. I clambered up to their bedroom and laid in the bath... but I was still shivering in the warm water. Angela and Abi were downstairs though. I stood to my feet, swaying and things get a bit blurry here after... I remember finding some dry clothes and going downstairs to see what Abi and Angela were doing but I got really dizzy and had to sit down. They helped me up to bed but I felt really weak and dizzy. I remember Angela saying that I was really white. After that though...I'm not sure but I awoke this morning in there bed… still feeling slightly dizzy but I better go see where everyone is...

Entry 24[/i] I gathered a whole lot of fruit yesterday, but that fat griffon beat me up. This nice lady helped me recover from my falling. When I arrived back in Port Hampshire I saw Angela kneeling on the floor. She still seemed to be guilty, but I don't want her to be guilty. I told her that i never did blame her for what happened that night and he hugged. She seemed to be happy again finally. Moments later Abi came along with this man called Drugo, and then Sen and erm...this other man came along. Abi said she wanted to speak to me quietly while she worked, but before that I handed out the juices that I made. Everyone enjoyed it! Angela went off home and I walked to the tailoring room with Abi. We talked with a while...and I told her my decision to go away for awhile. I needed time to think, and I could only do that if I could do it without interuption. I've asked that ships captain if he'll take me out to see and allow me to think about things floating on the calm ocean. I asked Abi if she would pass a message onto Angela for me...I wonder how she's took it. While i'm here i'm going to keep my writing down to a minimal and just think..and think and think... Well until I get back to Port Hampshire...I will write no more in my diary....

Grabbing a Quill and some ink, she sits in the inn, and once again, begins writing in her diary* Entry 25 Hello Diary...it’s been a while hasn't it. I spent what seemed like an eternity out at sea...just thinking about things, but no matter how hard I thought, and tried to make sense of things, I couldn't get anywhere. Waiting for the ship to sail back to Port Hampshire, I spent a lot of my time talking to the sailors and meditating. Its been awhile since I set foot on dry land. After a few months my sea sickness went away, so I was finally able to keep down my food. Decisions are difficult...and the situation I was in didn't make my decision much easier to make. Stepping foot in Port Hampshire brought back many memories, and after saying goodbye to all my friends, with my new dress which the sailors made for me as a going away present, I headed into town. *she smiles and giggles as she writes* I never knew sailors were so good at sewing. Walking into town, I met this nice dwarf who wanted to know the way back to Hlint, but if it was as dangerous as when I left I thought it would be safer to give him some money that the captain gave me so that he could get a ship to Leilon, and then I realised I really wanted to be in Leilon to, where its a much nicer walk to Hlint, so as fast as I could I ran back to the port and asked if the ships captain would be willing to sail me to Leilon. He gave one of his funny bellowing chuckles and told me to bring my stuff on board. He and his crew are such lovely people. Once again saying farewell to the crew, I made my way through Leilon. I knocked round at Abi and Angela's home, but on one was in. I wasn't sure where else they would be...but I thought the best place to look would be Hlint. It was raining just on the outskirts of Leilon...just like it was on that night. I took hold of my umbrella, and made my way through the heavy rain, passing Blackford castle and arriving at Fort Llast. Everything looks so different from when I left...all of the trees are in full blossom now... I arrived at the gates of Hlint, and stood there for a while. It had been awhile since I had last been in Hlint. Pushing open the heavy gates, I stumbled into Hlint and saw a group of people gathering. One voice...I thought I recognised. I made my way round the back of the bank and looked towards her... I wasn't 100% sure...but it certainly sounded a lot like her... She noticed me, and it seems she knew who I was to.. I wasn't sure what to do so I quickly covered my face and made my way to the big towering building in Hlint and walked up to the roof. Leaning on the balcony, I looked out into the distance and took a few minutes thinking. I was able to pluck up the courage to go back down and see if it was really her. Standing by the back of the bank I stayed listening to the conversation, and I was certain if was Abi then. They started talking about a monster in Hlint pond though! Apparently it only comes up every 10 years....and she said it was around 9 years ago that it was last here...give or take a year. I was so afraid, but luckily nothing happened. Wanting to get as far away from the pond as possible, I managed to make my way on the other side, near the little house there by the graveyard. I leaned against the wall, hoping Abi couldn't see me, but...she could. Vanishing out of sight, she appeared in front of me. I almost fell over with fright! I couldn't look at her at first...I just kept my gaze at the floor… So many things have happened since I left... Abi and Angela are no longer together...and Abi is now wearing all black clothes... I hope she cheers up; she seems to think of herself as a horrible person, a loner and someone everyone hates... but that’s not true! Its not! I know it isn't! She's one of the most kindest, beautiful and friendliest person I have ever met in my life! Hours and hours we spoke for, and she was telling me all about what had happened...I don't know why Angela did what she did...but I do understand why Abi doesn't want her back.. She left rather suddenly saying that the shadows were calling her, so with her departure, I made my way back to the pond. I was determined to get to the bottom of this mystery! Nice Mr Barion came along to do some fishing and we started talking about the monster in the pond. He said that Abi was probably making it up...and Abi came along afterwards confirming she was...but it's nice to be able to believe that there is a little village in the pond. Waterdeep it’s called. There are these little people living at the bottom of the pond in Hlint, and they use the fish in the pond like we use horses...only without saddles! And they are friendly little people, and the reason we only see them once every 10 years is because they build up a nice collection, then every 10 years, they come back up and give back the stuff that people dropped in there. Doesn't it sound like a wonderful place!? After Barion left, I continued to speak to Abi, but she wouldn't let me see her pretty face. She said what I would see would scare me.. but how could she ever scare me? Looking around to make sure no one else was looking, she pulled her hood back and allowed me to see her face once again. A face whitened due to the lack of sun, and reddened eyes from crying, she looked up at me, and as I looked at her, she stilled looked as pretty as the day I left. People don't understand it, but just because they think she has a tough outer shell, they're wrong; she's just as venerable and susceptible to being hurt as everyone else! She will find happiness again, I know it, in my heart, I know it..... *a tear marks the page* I met a nice man called Storold and Caighd and this other girl. *she wipes the tears away from her eyes, one hitting the page* We went to this place called the grey peaks ...but things went terribly… I'm just not as good as I used to be with my bow... We all fell...and I heard Storold scream in pain as the soul mother ripped away part of his soul.... Maybe I should just not fight again at all.... I saw him again briefly when I got back to Hlint, he looks to be okay… And now here I find myself in the inn...writing in my diary once again.....

*she skips along happily towards the bench by the pond, only to trip and almost fly head first in. Recovering rather ungracefully she holds onto the bench with dear life. Slowly allowing the bench to take a gasp of freedom from her tight grasp she takes hold of her quill and diary, gazes at the pond briefly then begins to write*
Entry 26
That was close! I almost went to meet the inhabitants of Waterdeep! *she looks down at her feet* OH NO!! I’ve ripped my dress… the captain and his crew made this for me…. *a tear dots the page* I can’t believe….I ripped it… I wonder if Abi or Rhynn would repair it for me…
*she wipes the tears away from her eyes*
Mr Barion and I were talking about family… It’s not something I’ve spoken about for many years… I hope you are well…father … brother … and all of you guys…and girls… I miss you all so much…
Abi appears to be cheering up now. I’m really happy, she’s dressing more and more like the Abi I know. I’m glad she’s cheering up. I couldn’t stand it when I was talking with them yesterday…all that talk of self harm and stuff….why would anyone do that to themselves?
When I returned a few hours later I sat on the bench in the middle of Abi and Rhynn. Rhynn called me cute…I was really embarrassed! Rhynn is a very brave girl…she was wearing near nothing in the middle of town! She’s an amazingly brave person, not to mind all those men looking at her.
Oh! And before all that happened I went travelling with Mr Barion and Miss Jezebel.
She wanted some cougar skins and Mr Barion wanted some Topaz. I’m not used to using my bow…it’s been so long since I’ve had to use it…Mr Barion was really brave though and he patched up any cuts or bruises I got from those meanies. He’s a kind, honest and brave man. I’m glad he’s Abi’s friend, she deserves friends as lovely as him…
*placing the book to the side as she waits for the ink to dry, she sits on the end of the bench kicking her leg childishly, something she saw Rhynn do and thought looked fun. Closing the box and locking it shut, she places it into her bag and sits looking at the pond*

Entry 27
It’s so cold…
Sorry I haven’t written up what has happened to me lately brother and daddy. I’m still trying to find you…

I suppose I should start from the beginning…

Abi wants…has given up on love. She doesn’t want to hurt anymore, I don’t want to see her get hurt, but I’m afraid she will even if she does give up on love. But I’m not one to speak. I’m sorry daddy… *some tears dot the page*

I’m starting to grip the ways of the arcane more and more. My spell collection of just light now has two more spells to keep it company. Expeditious retreat and endure elements. My mentors and two of my best friends are teaching me, Rhynn and Storold. I’m not very good at magic yet, but I’m sure I’ll get better! I’m glad they taught me endure elements…it’s always so cold lately. Without it I would always be shivering. I’m so happy, with all my friends by my side, I don’t think I could live my life without them…the only thing that is missing from my life is you and brother…
I’m sorry I’ve been so sad lately. I’ve been talking to my friends about you, brother and everyone else. I just feel so guilty with what happened… that day… I just froze, and now you’re all gone… gone from my life…gone from me… I really want you back… It hurts…I hurt… why? …why does it hurt so much? I told my story to Kiva, and he said he would try and find you for me. It has been about eight years now… What have you been doing all of this time? I hope you are both well. I hope that we will be able to complete our song brother…

‘Ship, Ship, Sail away, out to sea and far away’

Maybe we should try and come up with a new song when you get back brother…maybe I could start a song with Abi, Rhynn, Storold, Barion…and everyone else! That would be fun…

I went with Barion and a few others to Haven mines… I feel so…so useless… I didn’t even get an arrow off till we got further in… It’s just feelings of that day… The mighty hand of guilt, crushing my soul… Why do I feel so useless? Maybe because I am!? …I couldn’t help you that day… We could have all got away safely…but no! I had to freeze…and because of that ...everyone is dead…and you are both missing… *tears dot the page* why…why did you have to love me so much to risk all your lives… so many…many lives…

WHY DO I FEEL SO USELESS!?

It’s hard…
hard to keep it all kept inside…
I did it so well for all of these years…
but with so much talk of you both…
it’s just hit me so hard…
I don’t know what I would do without all of my friends…
I love them all so much...

I don’t want to be alone…
it scares me…
I just want to see you again…
I’m sorry…

Entry 28
Like a bottle floating upon the waves, my life has been constant ups and downs lately.
Where to start…hmm… well I suppose I’ll start with what I can remember from when I last wrote in you.
Hmm…should I start with the good stuff or the bad stuff first? If I start with the good stuff, then the bad stuff may seem worse when you get there… so I’ll start with all of the bad stuff that has happened in my life! And then when you reach the end of my entry you can see how my life has picked up again!
Now…let me think….
After my last diary entry, I kind of just started improving by myself, just like I always do. I went travelling with Rhynn. I’m her apprentice now. Right, well anyways when travelling, these big giants managed to fall Rhynn and myself. Jareg didn’t have time to raise us as we kind of rushed things and tried to pull our souls back to the bindstones. Rhynn forgot to bind her soul when we arrived and so she was sent half way across the world back to Mistone!
I later found out that Rhynn had been saying things about me because of something Storold and Abi did to her. I’m not too sure what happened but everything is fine now. It was about Rhynn not agreeing that I needed constant protection, and I think Storold or Abi shouted at her for not protecting me properly. All I can do is apologise…
Well, anyways I continued to travel with Jareg and Tegan, due to being with people I wasn’t used to, it was different; I got to boost my confidence travelling around with them for the short time I did.
When I got back to Hlint, I ran into Abi and she said started asking me what I had been up to. I think she worded it wrong because she said that both Rhynn and Storold didn’t want to teach me magic anymore! I was so sad. The first thing that hit me was ‘it’s my fault’, ‘I caused this’. I ran as fast as I could to the road just before Fort Llast and curled up by a hidden bit in the road… I never could hide from Abi…
I had hit rock bottom again. I just wanted to end it all…being an elf, I knew…and still do know that I’m going to experience a lot of loss in my life, and I’ve just had enough of people throwing their lives away just to save mine…
I never asked for it, I don’t want it, and I don’t need it…
Abi, trying to do her best and persuade me not to want to end my life, placed a dagger in front of me and told me to do it… I don’t think she was expecting me to pick it up and get ready to end my little life. I had it, held out in front of me, ready to thrust it into my stomach, and I could have done it at anytime. Abi continued to try and persuade me not to, but she couldn’t… She grabbed another dagger and said that if I ended my life she would end hers…as much as I love her…that didn’t seem like much of a deal… I told her, while I’m around people always throw their lives away, and if my death, only causes one more death, hers, then I was more than willing to make it happen…
I’m still here though, still alive. I couldn’t go through with it, If we both lay their dead, people would assume that Abi stabbed me before ending her own life, and she didn’t want that, and neither did I… She threw her knife into the rocks below… I just placed the knife onto the floor and told her that I wanted to be alone for awhile.
I sat alone, for hours and hours, but in the end I decided to head back to Hlint, and just go to the top of the courthouse to think. Rhynn followed me up there and we started talking. Apparently she never did say that she didn’t want to teach me, just that she couldn’t teach me till I grew up and learned to protect myself…I don’t think she realised that is all I actually wanted… was for people to treat me like an adult and let me be responsible for at least some of my actions. Rhynn thanked me because I helped her realise something to… something someone was trying to teach her years before.
I told Abi my decision and she said it was what she was trying to teach me all along… I just never saw it. I suppose it hit me on a subconscious level because it’s all I actually wanted… She seemed pleased…but also troubled… she said that she may have to go away soon… I don’t know where but if she has to go… then I suppose she has to go if she feels if necessary… I will ALWAYS be here for when she returns to see me… my heart is always open, to Abi, my best friend, my sister and one of the most loved people in my life… life without her, is like life without a heart, she’s my rock… I am deeply sorry for all the pain I have caused her over the years… but I thank her, with all that I am, for the happiness and time we have shared so far, and for the happiness she will bring me for as long as she may live. She WILL find happiness, I know no one that deserves it more than she… and happiness shall find her, and envelop her in its warm embrace.
I also found out Storold loves me… I’m sad, and deeply sorry for the pain I am causing him… He’s one of the kindest men I have ever met in my life… He deserves to love someone that is willing to love him back just as deeply. There are so many people…so many that deserve a better life, deserve true love, but not many find it… something that is shared among the groups of adventurers, is something that should NEVER be forgotten, and that is the love and friendship between companions. Fellow adventurers, those that they have travelled with for 30 years, or those that they have only travelled with for 1, it doesn’t matter… they share common goals, and they are like a family. We are all so lucky…
There’s so much out there… so much good stuff to look forward to, so much to love and respect. I’ve spent too many years focusing on the bad side! It’s time to move on! I have to enjoy life! You see a circle of stone on the floor, what could it be? Just a circle of stones you say? I think not! It’s a magic rune, and if you walk around it enough times everything will get better! Life needs to be serious, sure, but then life can get a little dull, if you don’t let your imagination run wild once or twice!

Don’t worry about me Daddy, Brother. I couldn’t be in better hands with such good friends around me. I will find you, one day, I will and then you can come meet the rest of my family! I love you, see you soon.

*In anger she goes back to her last entry and crosses out everything she wrote about Abi. What makes this even more confusing is that Nyyana has never had the feelings of hatred and anger run through her veins before*

Entry 29
Rule one- Know when to run
Rule two- Know where to run
Rule three- Know when to strike
Rule four- Know who to strike
Rule five- Don’t bother grumpy old wizards

The five rules of wizardry Rhynn has told me. I’m sure more will come with time.
Two mentors, two styles. Which is perfect, although I feel Rhynn is more my mentor, Storold is more like a teacher.
Rhynn has been teaching me the ways of how the weave work, although slightly confused at the fact I keep on trying to access and sense the weave everywhere I go, she excepted that the route I was taking probably meant I would end up on a path that neither she nor Storold can follow, and all they can do is teach me to be able to find that path. Rhynn has been teaching me different forms of spells, how to handle spell casting when in battle and an overall tactical side of magic. She has also taught me many other things, which need not be mentioned.
Storold, he teaches me the workings behind magic. Like the silent watch mountains, where the negative plane has intersected with the prime. The weave is said to not just be twisted, but more holed. We travelled to the outskirts of Blackford castle where he said the weave could be felt due to its strong presence. Taking my first attempt, I tried to focus, to sense the weave around me, but to no avail. My second try though, I was able to focus on the weave. It’s a strange feeling, as if always casting a spell.
We then went on to try and combine the skills I have with my bow, with that of the weave. Sensing the weave, I have to keep a perfect concentration, to empower my arrows with some of the weave before firing off, which can also be hard due to concentrating so much on keeping the weave focused in the arrow. I need to keep on practising, because at the minute it can’t really be very useful in battle, not until I can do it all a fast as I can fire each arrow. So far I either lose concentration or fumble the arrow, or as I fire I can’t keep the weave in the arrow long enough to hit the target.
I have still yet to be able to form a familiar using a part of my soul as Rhynn described to me, but it will come, I’m sure of it.

In an OOC note, the death of Abi completely changed the way Nyyana acts, although hints of her are still present, she wishes nothing more than her old self to be buried with Abi. There is no mention of Abi in her diary entry due to her handling the situation by ignoring the fact the situation is there.

Entry 30

I’m sorry…
I’m sorry Abi…
I’m sorry I couldn’t be a better friend…
I’m sorry I was too busy wrapped up in my own problems to notice yours…
I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!

I’ve got nothing left of you, no wait, I have the clothes you and Angela made for me... The rings on my fingers… the amulet around my neck…the bow in my hands… All meaningless without you here with me…but you’re gone…no more big sis… no more lil sis… no more…

I’m sorry I acted in anger… I still mean everything I said…here, let me write it out for you again…

I told Abi my decision and she said it was what she was trying to teach me all along… I just never saw it. I suppose it hit me on a subconscious level because it’s all I actually wanted… she seemed pleased…but also troubled… she said that she may have to go away soon… I don’t know where but if she has to go… then I suppose she has to go if she feels its necessary… I will ALWAYS be here for when she returns to see me… my heart is always open, to Abi, my best friend, my sister and one of the most loved people in my life… life without her, if like a life without a heart, she’s my rock… I am deeply sorry for all the pain I have caused her over the years… but I thank her, with all that I am, for the happiness and time we have shared so far, and for the happiness she will bring me for as long as she may live. She WILL find happiness, I know no one that deserves it more than she… and happiness shall find her, and envelop her in its warm embrace.

I’m sorry if I’ve let you down Abi… without my heart to guide me… life is leading me down a different path… and I have lost the will to fight it… I will speak that what I deem to be the truth… I want to kill the old Nyyana… bury her along with you… but she won’t go… I can’t kill her off… she’s too strong… too strong to kill… she’s still there… in my mind holding on with just a fraction of her strength… and yet I still can’t move her… I still can’t overwhelm her…

I got your dagger… the one you threw into the rocks on the way to Fort Llast when I tried to end my own life… I will treasure it forever… and if anyone tries to take it from me… I will kill them… they aren’t taking you away from me again…they won’t!

I’m not sure if you would even love me anymore Abi…the way that I am… I hope one day I meet what you expected, and always saw in me… I don’t want to let you down… I live life now to fulfil what you always saw in me…

I’m sorry for trying to ignore you…ignore the fact you’re gone... but if I don’t think about it… I won’t feel hurt… but its hard…everywhere I look…everything I do reminds me of you…

*tears dot the page*

I just want you by my side again! I don’t… I can’t… I MISS YOU! Don’t leave…don’t leave me…

Please don’t leave me…

Title: RE: Nyyana's cute diary
Post by: Yamada on July 03, 2006, 08:33:22 AM

Entry 31

I don’t know how to act…what to do. Some people think I’m going insane… I wonder if I am…I don’t think I am.
I don’t know how I should act… The old Nyyana is slowly coming back… but with her return I don’t know how to react to situations… I’ve been rude, and just plain right nasty at times…I don’t like doing that… sometimes they deserve it, but I’m not really the one to decide that am I?
It’s hard… I was quite depressed yesterday… I miss you Abi…and you father, brother… I just lay on the grass by the benches, everyone was telling me to get my head out of the road in case any wagons come by, but I didn’t really care. Storold told me to sit up, I didn’t really want to, but I did in the end. He said we should go do another lesson, so I slowly stood up. Matilda straightened my hat out for me and wiped the grass from my face.
Storold told me about Coran arti I’ tha – Guides on the blue weave path. Well, he told me one rule from it. ‘Use all gifts to benefit the weave and through it others. The weave is life and without it we are lost. Share your gifts with others freely, aiding where you can.’ I told him how I was scared of magic missile, due to that water lady blowing up my fire with them while I was busy cooking fish. He told me how I shouldn’t be scared of any of the gifts available to me. I asked Rhynn afterwards to give me a few pointers on how to use it, and I was able to blast a fish out of the pond!
I’m not too sure what was up with Rhynn after that, but I continued to play along with what she was doing. She said there was some great evil coming, and that we would need to prepare and get stronger to defeat it… I think she must have had one too many wines or something. I made sure to protect her when she slept, and followed her everywhere to make sure she didn’t get herself into trouble. She’s so much fun to be around.
Later that day these two people came to town, a drow who called himself Hood and this woman. The woman said you would win 100 gold if you could hit Hood. A few people had ago, but only two people hit him, once in each thigh. I’ve never seen two people so loopy in the head before… The woman pulled the arrows from his thighs, and when people told her to stab them deeper, she cut his wounds deeper with a rusty knife. Strangely, I wasn’t sick to the stomach, or scared… I just watched and prayed they wouldn’t talk to me, seems no one answered my prayers.
I stood next to Rhynn, and Hood came over to me, knelt and kissed my hand. He asked me my name and asked if I would remove my hat so that he may see my face. I told him my name, but only took my hat off for a few seconds before placing back on my head. He pulled his hood back, and Drogo called him a ‘half caste’ because he had a beard which caused them to pull their swords, but the situation soon settled when he left.
Just afterwards this man, who I can only assume to be a wizard, or someone with great control over the weave came over and told the woman to leave. Threats were thrown around before she summoned this really huge, ugly creature. More words were thrown around before they decided to go to the arena to fight it out, and prove who was the more powerful. I purchased the mahogany bow off of Addison, before running to try and catch up with Rhynn. I saw her further up the road, and when she said I should continue on, I said I was just following you… I don’t think she likes me following her… I wish she would just tell me if she doesn’t want me around.
I’ve still been practising, learning how to focus the weave into an arrow before firing it off, but I’m still finding it hard to keep concentration, but I will get it. I will learn to focus on the arrow, I will get better with my bow, I will get better with the weave, and I WILL make you all proud of me... I promise.

Entry 32

One must be at one with the bow, and a way to do that is to actually make one
Jacchri promised Abi, before she had died that he would teach me how to become a good archer, but only if I wanted to be taught. His first task for me is to make a hickory longbow… It’s a hard and gruelling job, as I can’t cut the wood alone, but I’m not going to give up! I’ve got to make you proud of me Abi, and I’m not going to stop until I do!
Drogo gathered some branches for me, just before Barion came and chopped the wood for me. Drogo was angry, but there wasn’t anything I could do to stop him… plus I needed the wood…
Rhynn was starting to act a little weird….but not much more than normal. This woman came along and delivered a letter to Rhynn while we were standing around. She wanted Rhynn to deliver a letter to Farmer Part near Thalos River.
Rhynn, a few others and I headed out to Thalos River because Rhynn asked us to come along to keep her company. We were heading towards Leilon when these bandits jumped us on the road; thankfully no one was seriously hurt, although I had one or two bad cuts.
It was a pretty relaxing journey from there on out really. We reached the farmers home and he invited us in for some dinner. Treana blurted out about Rhynn opening Farmer Parts letter, but thankfully the farmer still let us have dinner. It was a wonderful meal, and they even had dessert! This lovely pie, well, three different types of pie. I had one of each! This man came out of the back room as Farmer Part past out on the table, then everyone else around me started falling asleep, and I felt quite weak. Anna was trying to protect the others too, and then the wizard tried to cast some spells on us to keep us in place, but I think it backfired because we were able to resist them. He offered Anna and me one last chance to walk out, but I thought, what would Abi do in this situation, and so I pulled back on my bow string with the little strength I had left in my arms and I fired an arrow at the wizard.
Sadly, the arrow just bounced off of him, leaving me to take a few steps back and to say a quick ‘erm…Uh-oh’. I think I had annoyed him because he started beating Anna up, and knocked her to the floor. Thinking now, maybe I should have pretended to fall asleep… yeah! Well anyways, he cast this thing on me which caused this big hand to envelop me and keep on squeezing tighter and tighter, and I couldn’t take it for very long before falling.
When I awoke… well when I thought I awoke, we were in this strange maze dungeon thing. Everyone else was there to, everyone except Rhynn… There were lots of these strange creatures that kept on getting in our way as we tried to make our way through the maze like corridors, but when we finally made it through, we ended up in another maze looking room. This small man with wings came walking down the corridor, and he said that Saebhal had got us caught in this dream world, and that he didn’t have much control. He said that if destroy the power supply in the room we had just left from, that he should be weakened enough to allow us to go free. We headed back to the last room and everyone was looking around. I assumed it was the big pillar thing in the middle of the room, and I was trying to get erm…can’t remember her name… to shoot at it as quick as possible so we could go save Rhynn, but Rain kept on complaining that it might be a trap and that the throne might be the power source instead. I asked them to hurry and ignore Rain, who just seems to be really paranoid and doesn’t appear to trust anyone.
Well anyways, she shot at the two pillars and the top pillar fell down and smashed the bottom one causing everything to start shaking and all of these bright explosions appeared all over the place, then this really big rift appeared in the floor and we were all sucked into it. When we appeared at the other end we were greeted by Saebhal (that’s the wizard’s name) and Rhynn.
Rhynn seemed really happy to see us, but she kept on shouting at Saebhal. He got angry and transformed, but he was soon beaten, and he collapsed to the floor as he transformed back into his original form.
Rhynn stabbed him…over and over and over and over… I don’t know what he did to her, but whatever it was… I hope I never make the same mistake. While everyone else was watching her, I was getting kind of panicky as the ground around us was shaking and exploding. I hurried around looking for an exit but couldn’t find one. When the world seemingly exploded we found that we had still been in a dream world, and we had awoken in Saebhal’s tower. Rhynn was sitting by Saebhal’s body while everyone was around her… I poked this big crystal in the middle of the room, and a small chunk fell off. I wasn’t sure if I had done something good or bad so I walked off whistling, trying not to act suspicious. The others picked it up and said that they should find somewhere safe to put him so that he isn’t disturbed again. I’m not sure who has it now though….
Well anyways, then the tower starting exploding and caught fire, we had to run for dear life, from the place Rhynn calls her home. We stood by the river bank and watched as it collapsed… Following that, the group seemed to disband and go their separate ways. I headed back to Hlint and got some more woodwork done; I’ve run out of wood, although Storold has just given me a fresh batch of hickory, so I’ll get right back onto it. I did run into Rhynn but it was only a brief heya, as I was a little busy trying to work out this wood work business. I’m slowly learning the inner workings of the bow, but I believe I have a long way to go before I fully understand it.
I’m still finding it hard to know who I am… Do I have a real me? I know I have a really old me, an old me, and the current me… but which one is the real one? Am I just an act? Does a real me even exist?
I don’t really know… but as long as people like me, I don’t really care if there is a real me, as long as I act how I think I should, and do what I feel is right…

Entry 33

I’m trying to remember exactly what has happened in my life the last couple of days… for some reason I’m finding it hard to recall exactly what I did… maybe I haven’t meditated long enough…
Right, the first thing I remember doing is looking for bow string. I asked Sh’anda, but she said she would need the silk before she could make it. I don’t know where else to get silk other than –there- and the other places I do know are a little too hard for me.
Addison gave me some silk and Rhynn made some bow string for me…I hope Jacchri doesn’t mind…does the string count as part of the bow? It’s a big part of the bow… uh oh… I never thought about that. Well…I was able to make two longbows; I hope they’re okay…
What else… erm that Hood man said he wanted to take me somewhere nice, so he took me into a room at Hlint inn. He said that I would have to fight him in the arena or he would kill me. I reluctantly agreed to fight him in the end just so he would possibly leave me alone. He said that if he won, I would have to declare my love for him and make out to people we were a couple, but he said if I won, he would leave me alone for good.
When we were making our way to the arena I whispered to Rhynn to help me…but I swear she was trying to get me killed… she told him that I had been whispering to her, even though he said he would kill me if I did so…doesn’t she like me?
She went off somewhere once we reached Fort Llast, so I slowly made my way to the arena. I said to him, since you’re the one that’s dragging me off to the arena, the least you could do is pay for my tickets, which he did. I suppose he is kind of nice at times… unless it was just so I didn’t mess around so we could reach the arena as soon as possible. When we got there, I told him that I can’t use melee weapons very well and that if possible could we do an archery match. He agreed, but I’m not sure if he was even trying to win…
Someone I spoke to afterwards said that if he had used his shadow tricks more than once I would have been done for. I wonder why he lost to me… I fired as fast as I could, but still…why didn’t he use all of the skills he could have used. I would most probably be walking around declaring my love for him right this minute if he had pulled his swords… or I would be dead for refusing…
After I beat him, all Rhynn did was laugh when I told her what he had done…sometimes I wonder which one of them is the evil one… but I’m sure it’s just in my head and Rhynn’s not doing anything she wouldn’t usually do…
I saw Storold a few days later and I told him what had happened. He looked really worried as the Corathite seemed to have an interest in me… but Storold gave me some scrolls from Angela and this wand he had found in the great rift!
I met this man called Daren briefly but he had to go somewhere pretty quickly. I saw him again slightly later and Rhynn gave him a guide around town. I joined along for the last bit of it, and I was just trying to make him laugh… and I just said something sarcastically, but Rhynn bit my head off again… I wonder if she doesn’t want me around anymore… All she has to do is say and I won’t come near her…
I got invited to Rain’s wedding! I said I would help to make him some wine when I had the chance, but he said I really don’t have to as I’ve done enough by giving him the 7 bottles of mature wine, but I completely forgot to get the apples when he asked and I want to make up for it. I have to make some pretty clothes… It’s been awhile since I’ve wore a dress now… I’ve never made pretty clothes before…
To give Rhynn some space, I decided to spend the rest of my time with Tath… he asked me why I was sitting in front of him, and I just said that I wanted to keep him company… I lied. I just wanted someone to keep me company…
He’s a nice man when you get to know…I assume… I don’t really know him that well yet. I asked him if he had got an invite to Rains party, but he said he had but couldn’t make it. I don’t think I’ve got any more friends to ask…oh! Maybe Storold…
Anyways, Tath took me out for some Squashification and he made some road side ornaments made up of badgers. He then took me to the mountains near Fort Llast to show me his Squashification techniques. That was interesting to watch.
When we got back to Hlint I saw Rhynn and lots of others, I tried to tell them of Tath’s skills, but I think Rhynn was ignoring me again, she wanted Tath to make her some pie, cause she had gone out and got all of the ingredients already.
I wonder if it’s me… I wonder if I annoy her by being me…maybe I’ve decided to be the wrong me… I hope she doesn’t stay angry at me…
OH! And I've got rule six now to.
Rule six - no following strange men into rooms

Entry 34

Hmm, so much has been going on the last couple of days that I have absolutely no idea what to write about… It might be because I haven’t meditated for a while now and I’m just running off of reserves, yet for some reason I feel slightly hyper… I wonder if it’s something I’ve eaten or drank…
Right, where to start, where to start…
I travelled around with Rhynn, Jareg and Kiva quite a lot lately. At one point we even went to Xantril, although there were four others with us to, totalling eight people. We managed to travel to the tower that the dwarf said this dragon resided, but we didn’t bother entering. The trip back to the docks went well until we reached the giants really. The had this weird fascination for throwing big boulders in my general direction, then one dazed me and I got really hurt. Luckily someone healed me and I was able to get back to shooting the giants.
When we arrived back on Dregar, Rhynn gave me a ‘Lesser ladies gift’ as a gift and also some arrows. Modifying those robes has got to be one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life… We travelled around Dregar for awhile enjoying the sights, Kiva, Jareg, Rhynn and myself of course, and then after a little while Tegan joined us believe, and a short while after we decided to head back to Hlint.
Arriving back, I went off to try and make some wine for rain, but that big griffon stopped me in my tracks and so I couldn’t make it. I’m really sorry Rain.
Rhynn presented me with my wizard’s staff! It was a little short but that’s okay, I extended it by a couple of feet. I’m not too sure what’s wrong with Rhynn lately… her behaviour seems to be erratic, but then I suppose it usually is anyways… It has settled down the last couple of days though so maybe she’s returning to normal.
Anyways, we headed back out to Dregar a few days later, well I say we, she asked me to wait in Pranzis for her so I sat in the town square patiently for her. Storold spotted me and kept me company for quite a few hours. I hope I didn’t ruin his plans.
I still haven’t been able to find a friend to take with me to Rains wedding and party.
I met Sonya though! That’s his fiancé. She’s really kind! Looks like I’ll be going alone as the days drawing near. I’m so excited! Oh! Where was I… erm, oh! Anyways after a few hours of speaking to Storold Rhynn, Kiva and Jareg arrived, and I joined them leaving Storold to get on with his business. Rhynn gave me a key to a house in Pranzis, but I’m not sure why the owner said it was okay for me to have a key… they must be a really trusting person. Well, we headed out towards the forest then into the desert where things got pretty bad for a little while. Storold must have been around as he healed me as I waited for Rhynn as I was bleeding quite a lot.
Getting to that town in the middle of the desert, we split the loot and each popped to the bank when Storold turned up. I followed Rhynn over to the pond there, while Jareg, Kiva and Storold spoke. When we got back to them Kiva and Jareg had agreed to let Storold come along! With that we headed back into the desert, and all was going perfectly fine. Then Tegan turned up, Rhynn left, chaos in the party sort of struck then Kiva and Storold fell, and I had a giant close behind me chasing me down a hallway.
Luckily Rhynn had returned, and Tegan was there waiting to and they were able to strike it down for me. Sadly things didn’t get much prettier after that point either, as with Kiva and Storold still lying crippled further along the path, Tegan and Rhynn went off to look for Jareg, not sure why though cause he was right in front of us…
Well anyways, they ran into trouble and Rhynn was badly beaten to. Thankfully, Jareg was able to bring them back, and to make sure no more deaths happened that day, we had all decided to head off home.
Rhynn went off ahead, leaving Storold and I to slowly make our way back to Pranzis. After we reached Pranzis, he gave me a hand to look for 230 Pranzis. Luckily it wasn’t too hard to find as it was this pretty big house on the corner. We parted ways and I used the portal provided to reach Hlint.
Things got pretty bad later that day when a group of others and me were in Port Hampshire and we spoke to the Halfling again. Various things happened, resulting in us going to Blood desert on Mistone to find this man who was being protected by ogres. He had this shield, which apparently we had to have to stop this evil man from getting… I know we needed the shield but surely they could have gone about getting it a bit friendly, instead of brow beating him and cursing at him until we were able to make him fall asleep. The group, as a whole promised not to come near him and we promised not to touch his shield, and I said I would scream if anyone went near him, but some of them had a go at me so I just followed quietly afterwards.

I had a nice talk with Treana afterwards as I was feeling really guilty, and this is pretty much what she said:
There are two sources for every thought and action
-Born of Selfishness
-Born of Love
To know which is which we need to examine our own hearts and ask why we do or think what we do.
If we do something for our own benefit, then it comes to selfishness, but if we do it to benefit others, it’s born from love and ultimately helps us in the long run.
We all make mistakes, and that’s where forgiveness comes in.
Forgiveness cannot be earned. It can only be received as a gift from the one whom the dept is owed.

I like it… It’s something that should hopefully help me to always do what’s right, and make you all proud of me. I don’t care if they all hate me, at least I did what I felt was the right thing to do. I forgive them all for having a go at me. When they open their eyes and learn the different between right and wrong, they’ll see how I think. Although I suppose the taking of the shield was in the mans best interest… he may have gone insane and tried to rip his own face off, but if we hadn’t have took it, and the evil man got to him, then he would just be dead, instead of insane. The holy healers at Toran’s temple are looking after him, so he should be fine.

There are some more new rules now.
Rule seven – Don’t annoy Tath
Rule eight – Shoot things that can’t shoot back, because they have to take time to get to you
Rule nine – Never put strange items in your mouth, around your neck, in your pocket or on your finger.
Rule ten – Never trust anyone in turquoise

AH! I just realised! I STILL haven’t made my dress to wear for the wedding and party afterwards! Love you!

*more writing is written under the last entry*
I totally forgot to tell you!
The two hickory longbows I made, well Jacchri said they didn’t ‘speak’ to him and that I should try again to get it right. He said I will never be able to understand a bow if I cannot make one that speaks to the person using it. I’m going to try again and again and again until I can make a bow that speaks, to its user.
Oh, and Rhynn has made me a swimsuit now, which means I can go swimming!
I read this thing in the inn that there are some lessons open to all going on at the Arcane Alliances’ tower. I think I might come along so I can learn more about magic. It should help me understand the weave more.

Entry 35

One thing I forgot to mention, in my last entry was the time I spent with Angela! It was one of the most important things to happen to me and I completely forgot about it!
I met up with Angela in Hlint and she asked me if I wanted to come help her get some ore from the red light caverns. We spent a lot of time just talking and catching up with things in general… We spoke about you Abi and about what I had been up to at sea and since I got back, oh and how she wanted to get to spend more time with me again.
I met up with Jacchri again, and he said the bow was nicely made, but that it doesn’t ‘speak’ to him. I wonder what he meant. I haven’t made anymore hickory longbows yet, but I spoke to Ozy about it and he seems to think Jacchri may be losing it, as weapons cannot speak. I said about how he said you need to become one with the bow, and he started giving me examples of what the idea was so stupid… I suppose I’ll just have to try my best and see if I can do what Ozy deems impossible
The wedding, Sonya and Rains, A marvellous day, but not one I would hope to repeat anytime soon. Helping Rain with the preparations before the wedding, we did some travelling with this nice guy called M.N. He asked me if he could be my escort to the wedding, I happily agreed. I gave Rain around 3000 gold. 2000 gold and in return he had to chop lots of wood for me, and another 1000 gold as a wedding present.
While waiting around for M.N, as he said he would help me chop some wood, I was speaking to Rain, and he said I was to M.N taste. How was I supposed to know he meant that M.N liked me? I thought he wanted to eat me… Well anyways, Sonya joined us for a little while, and she asked ME to be a bridesmaid! I was so happy, and I agreed to!
Sonya left shortly after that, and after some wood cutting, I headed off to Krandor with Rain to pick up all the food. We managed to drag it all the way to the Freelancers tavern, and we spent hours and hours trying to set the chests in place! We were still there when the wedding had begun, and I, being a bridesmaid, Anna told me to quickly hurry to the ceremony to help keep Sonya calm while Rain was shoving chests around.
When I got there, I told Sonya the situation and left her to talk to the other bridesmaids, only to then be told, from a whisper in the ear that Rain was on his way, and his left the ring at the Freelancers tavern! I had to quickly get out of my dress, and run as fast as possible to Anna, and when I arrived, she handed it to me, but I accidentally dropped it back into her bag and ran off! I almost got back only to realise what I had done and had to run back to her again, then back to the ceremony to hand the ring to Cy.
The ceremony was Beautiful! I was fighting away tears during the whole ceremony, then after it Anna asked me to lead the couple and the guests to the Freelancers tavern shortly after she left. Trying to guide the people along, I asked M.N to get their attention, and even though we did so, they completely blanked us. We started walking along and waited further up the road, but it wasn’t until some of the others started coming along that the rest followed.
Leading the group to the tavern, I greeted them and told them which ships to take, and greeted them at the door of the tavern before going in. Upon entering I walked around talking to the other guests, asking them all if they were enjoying themselves, and then sat into listen to the wonderful speech. When Rain and Sonya were dancing, I took a quick breather behind one of the chests, before M.N found be and asked me to dance. It was a really nice dance, I really enjoyed myself, but sadly M.N had some business to attend to so I just sat by the bar and tried to enjoy some rest for as long as I could… When I had finished resting my eyes/meditating, most of the guests had left, and there was still a lot of food left over. I made my way over to the food and piled up my plate, didn’t want to waste good food after all.
Rain thanked me afterwards, after all the guests had left and gave me some more food and one or two gifts as a thank you present, then we headed back to Hlint where I sat around for some much needed rest.
Hmm, what else happened? OH! A few days earlier, there was an open lesson class at The Arcane Alliances tower. I went along to sit in on Tath’s lesson. I’ve got it all wrote out, every last word mentioned. I’ll rewrite it into here when I have the chance.
Well anyways, after the class we headed to the arena so that Tath could show us how certain spells work. That was enjoyable, but afterwards Tath agreed to have an archery match with me. We both used hickory longbows to make it fair, and we both used the same arrows.
I won the dual, but Tath hit me in the thigh with his last shot, and it went in pretty deep. I’m not sure how long it’ll take to heal, but I replace the bandages everyday. It can be painful to walk on….you have no idea how much pain I was in during the wedding… thankfully I didn’t bleed onto my dress or anything, which was extremely lucky.
Time to change these bandages… I’ll write in the lesson notes later.

Title: RE: Nyyana's cute diary
Post by: Yamada on July 15, 2006, 04:10:41 AM

I was hoping to have all of the notes from class written out...but I only got about half way through it before a strong wind blew my notes out into the sea... I suppose what I have got will have to do.
Necromancy 101
Three simple rules that apply to magic in general, but especially to Necromancy: First Rule – There are no constants in magic. No absolutes. Remember, Magic allows us to accomplish what others see as impossible, thus nothing is impossible. That doesn’t mean to walk around with an invincible attitude, simply know that with work and application to a task, anything can be accomplished. Second Rule – Magic is inherently neutral. People place titles of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ on magic far too often. It is neither good nor evil. It simply is ‘it’. Magic is power, and power for us is knowledge, knowledge cannot be good or evil, it is how knowledge is applied that allows it to be defined. Thus, you may know that others call ‘evil’ and find distasteful. It doesn’t mean you have to use the spell because it will not become evil until after you act with said knowledge. Rule Three – Death magic does hurt no matter what others tell you, however, should you be confronted by someone (Paladins) that will find it vile remember this simple argument. ‘Death magic is faster and less painful than being slowly roasted alive over an open pit like a wild boar, and should that fail also point out that Paladins use swords and axes specifically to end suffering to end suffering quickly. Death magic does the same.’ Now, many people choose to selectively learn which necromancy spells appeal to them the most; usually skipping a good dead of spells in their progression until they reach a certain point. I find this to be a distasteful way of learning myself. If you do not learn from the ground up, so to speak, you cannot fully comprehend how the magic you are wielding works…so let us begin with a question. What is necromancy? I want a simple answer, nothing fancy. Answer: Necromancy is an order of spells that manipulate, create or destroy life. To break it down simply, Clerics create life or restore it rather with raise dead spells. Spells that resurrect one’s body and returns its soul. Manipulating like would be animation on undead creatures, though this is not always a bad thing but we’ll look into that later. And last to destroy life; well, I believe it’s self evident where in necromancy spells are used to destroy life so we’ll leave it at that.

Entry 36

After either eating too much or eating something which was slightly off, I lay quietly on a bed holding my stomach, and recovering from what I can only assume to be food poisoning. I’m okay now though! Wasn’t really anything serious it was just painful.
As I walked back out into the bustling roads of Hlint, I found myself facing the ever changing, ever different forms of Rhynn. I don’t believe, like I, that she has truly found the real her, unless she has found it, and doesn’t like it. I don’t mind really, although the pretty close relationship we once has seems to be slowly disappearing into the night sky, as she goes off with new friends, and sadly to say, the same as myself. It appears our paths only crossed for little under a year… and if things carry on as they are I suppose I will lose contact with the person I deem to be my closest friend. I suppose that’s strange really… How, although now days we hardly speak, hardly wave or nod to each other in the street, I still deem her my closest friend. I know that I can still trust her, and although she appears to be walking her own path she still calls out my name every now and then, and she even present me with a bow as a gift the other day. I’ll have to try and find her a gift in return, but I’m glad to say that my friendship with Rhynn isn’t being buried, but just lays dormant, opening it’s eyes now and then to see the world, before slowly drifting away again.
Oh, and Trysk has returned from his great adventure. He said that while sailing there was a great storm wrecking the ship. When I told him it had been about seven to eight years since I had gone, he was completely shocked by the fact he had been gone so long. I told him about… yours, Abi’s death, and he was completely shocked. We went to the Wild Surge inn as he said he needed some ale. Five ales later, and a fair bit of conversation passed, I decided to leave him to think over things.
I went out for a nice walk with M.N, and we sat by this lonely tree in Krandor, straight in front of the place Rain is staying. We talked for hours and hours and hours, and we found that we both had a lot in common… We bother lived very comfy lives, never leaving from a single place, and in fact for both of us, if the events that happened never happened then we would never have even left at all…
He told me he had feelings for me… I told him I’d need time and that I was unsure of if I really want it… it being love… He said he understood and just smiled at me…
I’m not really sure if I love him, I –think- I do… but I’m not sure… what if me falling for M.N really hurts Storold… am I even ready for a relationship? There are so many questions going on in my head, so many things that I want to be able to answer about this, but if I were to understand everything before telling him my feelings for him, that’s if they are even there at all… I don’t know what I’m supposed to be feeling… what does –love- feel like...

Entry 37

I wonder why it is, that every time I go to write in my journal, I can never think of what to write, yet I still manage to dabble on a bit.
There seems to be only one subject on my mind at the minute, and it’s a difficult one at that… M.N told me he loved me, I’ve told you about that already, but now Storold has also told me that he loves me…
Two of the kindest, sweetest and gentlest men I have ever met… and they both love me…
I don’t know what to write… what do I do? Should I choose one of them? Put their names in a hat and go for a lucky dip? Stand blind folded, spin around and keep on firing arrows till I hear one of them scream? Run away and live alone in a small house in a forest for the rest of my days? The gods must hate me this day to expect me to know what –love- is, what –love- feels like. Expect me to know which one I –love-, I don’t know which one I –love- I think I love them both, but I don’t know… I don’t truly know what love feels like… Rain gave me some questions to answer to help me to decide which one I love… I suppose I may as well write out the questions and see what it comes out as…

Storold
Do you miss him more than you miss a friend?
Yes and No
When you are near him does your heart jump when he calls your name?
Yes
Do you ever find yourself thinking about him as more than just a friend?
Yes
When he looks at you do you feel like the world is fading away?
I don’t know what does that feel like?

M.N
Do you miss him more than you miss a friend?
Yes and No
When you are near him does your heart jump when he calls your name?
Yes
Do you ever find yourself thinking about him as more than just a friend?
Yes
When he looks at you do you feel like the world is fading away?
I don’t know what does that feel like?

Do you miss him more than you miss a friend…? I do miss them both a lot more than I do a lot of my friends… but I don’t miss them more than I miss you Abi… and how do you know what the world fading away is like? Do I even love either of them? Or is it just my head telling me that I should love someone… anyone…?
They both make me feel like I can succeed at anything; they both give me flowers, and help me with whatever help I need. They both have told me that if I love another, and choose them over them, they would still be happy for me.
I don’t know what to do…how am I suppose to react in this situation? What should I do? Should I just choose? I feel so lost…
Whatever I do…someone has to get hurt… I love them both… I can’t just ‘choose’… you can’t choose love… why are you doing this to me Ilsare?
I want to spread my wings, and fly away, free like an arrow to ride the currents of the wind, to pierce the darkness and to just love forever…
I can’t choose… I won’t hurt them… what can I do? There’s nothing left I can do is there?
What do I do? What should I do?
Please help me............anyone......

Entry 38

Thank you for the advice Abi… I’m still not sure if it was just the sounds of the wind, or I’m losing my mind, but I heard you… and I thank you for helping me once more…
Before I get into that though… I think I’ll start with all of the other stuff that has been happening.
I spent more time with Serissa the other day. We spent most of the time talking about clothes; it was a welcome distraction to all that has been on my mind lately. We were originally planning on making some swim suits, but while Serissa was working I got a wonderful idea for a new dress.
It’s really pretty, and is held on by this thick layer of cloth that goes around the stomach. I made one for Serissa and Anna to. They both seem to really like it, which I’m happy about. Come to think about it… I still haven’t made a new swimsuit. Maybe I’ll make one later.
I went travelling with Serissa a little while afterwards. We met up with Barion and some others to. They said we’d be heading to a place called ‘Firesteep’. I wasn’t too sure where, or what the place was like when we set out on the journey, running across the plains invisible, before making our way through the forest before reaching this small harbour. That’s when we sailed to…Firesteep; an amazing, yet hostile place, with mighty jumps and climbs, and even greater perils.
As we carefully made away past swarms of creatures, and cleared near impossible jumps, we made our way deep into the mountains, the air filled with a chill, yet the heat of the volcano kept you warm… a mixture of feelings and emotions, messing with your senses, made some of the climbs that should have been easy extremely hard. It’s not a place I would like to visit again until I am more aware of my abilities.
We fought our way past the creatures, and finally made it to the deepest reaches of Firesteep. There was a great door, but we dare not press on, quickly mining what ore’s we could, we made our way back to the dwarven mining house, and rested up before continue our way out of the great debts of Firesteep.
The moment I set foot on the boat, I was relieved, relieved that I was finally off Firesteep, and able to head back to Hlint, where I could avoid such dangers… although a great decision still lay ahead of me… and still does.
I made my way to Hurm with Barion and Serissa, and the journey was made quite easy, apart from the exhausting jog, as we had been made invisible by one of the wizards that travelled with us. As we allowed ourselves to catch our breaths when we arrived in Hurm, we began talking about various things, although most of the conversation was filled with how be believed Barion was a hero. He kept on denying any rights of being a hero, but I told him, you may not think you’re a hero, but you’ll always be my hero. He said he would accept that, and Serissa headed to the inn. Barion and I went with her because Barion said it was dangerous there. As Serissa went in to rest Barion stood guarding the door, and I assume he stood there all night…
I also saw Rhynn that day to, she had finally got the horse she had always wanted, and she has even managed to teach herself how to use a bow and rapier. I wish I could be like her… she has no limits, no boundaries… she’s my best friend, and one of the most amazing people I have ever had the honour of meeting. I spent most of the day before out with Storold collect wood, Quilus even helped now and then when we needed to gather some oak. I worked and worked and worked, and managed to make 98 blank scrolls of hickory and 40 blank scrolls of oak for Rhynn’s scribing.
I managed to progress with my training with Jacchri. He said my bow whispered, although it didn’t speak, it was still really good. His next task to help me understand the ways of the archer, and also to become a good archer was to make 100 of each type of feathered arrow, falcon, raven, stirge and owl. Working together with Storold, I was able to gather the copper, and the feathers, and I was able to create 100 of each type of arrow… I accidentally used up 15 of my falcon arrows though, so I went back to work with some of my spares, and with my last piece of oak I managed to make 20 copper falcon oak arrows. I’m really starting to understand the difference between the arrows now and how important it is to use different arrows on different enemies.
I need to try and look for Jacchri to show him the arrows and get my next assignment. Oh! And I’ve even improved with my control over the weave to! I’ve managed to cast bull’s strength, cats grace and invisibility so far. Rhynn was going to teach me how to cast ghostly visage when there’s times to.
Well… back to the matter at hand I suppose… you said to me…
“you don't love either of them...if you did you would have known...love strikes you down and you instantly know it....your own doubt should answer your own questions....”
It was more a whisper as I pleaded for help… it may not have even been you… but those are the words that I heard from the passing wind, and I thank you.
I have realised that I mustn’t love either of them… love strikes blindly, and although I do love them both, I don’t feel I love them that way… My first love… when I felt it for the first time, it hit suddenly… and I instantly fell in love… and although the relationship didn’t continue we still loved each other.
That’s the feeling I should feel again when I finally fall in love… not this feeling on confusing and lose… I have to let M.N and Storold know my decision… but I don’t want to hurt them… I hope they will forgive me…

I can’t see very well…
I managed to make my way to the healer in Hlint and she said that she believes all of the soot I inhaled while making arrowheads has effected my eyesight…
She said that the blurriness should go after a few days… how am I suppose to make these arrows now…
I’m sure I’ll manage some how… I’ll have to make them using touch…
When I was north of Hlint earlier I ran into Sa’kura… She helped me get some bird feathers.
All I can see are blurs… I managed to shoot the orcs down but I had to rely on my hearing alone.
I hope this goes soon……..

Entry 40

Hmm, It’s been awhile since I’ve wrote now, those children take up a lot of my time, and I love every minute of it. Where should I start? I suppose I’ll start with what happened in more detail about my blinding…

I had gone found Barion and he asked me if I wanted to start working on the arrowheads, agreeing we made our way to his house to get some ore. We were there for a little while then we went upstairs to one of the rooms…and your journal... what little of it there was… was there. I will find you again you know… I was talking to Ozy, he said that Barion must be insane, everyone that commits suicide are taken to ‘the Abyss’, and if not there, the only other place you would be is ‘the Grey Waste’… He agreed to tell me about them over time, so that when I do travel there I would have at least a small chance to survive. I’m grateful to him.

After Barion let me work my way through a chest of junk and pick out what I wanted, we made out way to Lake Alon to dig for clay. The process was a long and hard one, but the rain made it a lot easier. Heading back to the craft hall we got to work… that tinkering machine is a dangerous piece of equipment. What with all the soot it kept on blasting out, I was fine at first, and I don’t know exactly what it was, but for some reason I went blind. I was blind for about 4 days… but thankfully Sh’anda and Ash helped me to get my vision back. Thank you!

I went to Port Hampshire shortly after with Anna and a few others. We started talking then heard this man signing people up to come to New Haven. After throwing questions at him, not literally, Anna signed up, and everyone else soon followed. What the man proposed was wonderful… A place where no one fights, everyone works together… As we waited for the ship we saw this small girl swimming in the water. Some of the others dove in after her, but she quickly got away and Anna caught up with her at the docks. Her name was Kymra. She told us about how everyone there was really boring and about how even all of the other children didn’t want to play. She said that they were going to get her next so she ran. Some of the others believed it to be a mind spell, or brain washing, but the ship to New Haven had already left or something I believe, I wasn’t really taking notice, so we’ll have to wait for next time to go see what really is happening there.

We took Kymra, Anna and I that is, back to the Freelancers. I told Anna how I wished I was 100 years younger so that I could live there and have fun. She smiled at me and said I can always come round to play. I felt really hungry so I asked her if I could buy something to eat, Kymra had gone off to meet some of the other children, and she seems to be fitting in pretty well. After eating I spent a few days there just playing with the children. They seem to really love my story times, although to be truthful they’re starting to run my imagination dry, I’m running out of idea’s… maybe I’ll get some inspiration when I next go travelling… Anna asked me to come follow her, and we went upstairs with all the children. While all of the children went off to play, I sat listening to Anna, Seteece and Quillwem. I’m not going to go into anything about what they were discussing, mainly because I only heard small parts of it as I was too busy watching the children. Afterwards I told them how I wasn’t too sure what I had to do with any of it, and that I was just looking after the children. It seems when I had asked Anna if I could become a Freelancer and help with the bar work and with the children she had talked with the others about it, and Seteece said he would be honour if I would join. I accepted without even allowing for a heart beat… Elebrathe Mercenaries are no more… but they always live on in my heart.

I did have an argument with Kiva about Abi; he said she doesn’t deserve anything from me and how she was pathetic for ending her own life. He said he didn’t want to fall out with a friend and stopped talking, so I did the same. I told him how the only reason I live now is to make Abi proud of me… but things are different these days… so little time after that argument with Kiva, a little under a two weeks, and I have a whole new reason to live, to look after the children and to help out at the Freelancers. I love it at the Freelancers.

My training with Jacchri is coming on in leaps and bounds. When I first started I wasn’t too enthusiastic about having to make my own arrows, but all my friends help me and now I make arrows whenever I have a chance. I’m learning which arrows need to be used in certain situations, or if some of the special made arrows are even needed at all in some circumstances. Jacchri said he was almost impressed with how every time he gives me a task, like making a set of arrows, I do one better and make some arrows of the next grade up, along with the ones he asked for, of course. My archery is improving greatly, and even my skill with the weave is getting a lot better. I still practise that technique Storold taught me to try to imbue the arrow with the weave, although I’m starting to wonder if that’s really the best way to go about it.
I’m a little worried at the minute, because Jacchri’s next task for me is to study a wand of true strike and to try and try to actually learn the spell itself… it’s beyond me though… I have a strong presence of necromancy about me… I can’t learn the spell even though I want to…which means I’ll fail for the first time at a task for Jacchri…

Another little thing I’ve been working on is finding out my name in as many languages as possible. Most people know now that my birth name is ‘Cute’, although I do prefer Nyyana myself. I’ve managed to find out my name in about 10 languages now, although some of them don’t have words for cute, and Ozy gave me something that’s close to it.

Common – Cute
Halfling – Sodi
Elven – Nyyana
Infernal – R’da
Dwarven – Zi’ka
Draconic – Stondri
Abyssal – Geee (It means ‘toy’)
Highdrow – Yinvezz (It means ‘pretty’)
Florana – L’dislò’i (It means ‘young beauty’)
Ancient Wintertongue – S’sin’ystira

Entry 41

Spending the last few days in the Freelancers, I’ve just been trying to get away from it all. I’ve worked behind the bar even though we aren’t usually open just so that I could lose myself.
I saw Rhynn on the first night I started serving… She said that when Storold wasn’t around me he was always complaining about how he did stuff for me and I gave nothing in return. I’m not sure if that was Rhynn’s strange way of looking at things but Anna said not to take much notice as he has been fine around her…
This whole Storold and M.N situation… I didn’t know what to do. I was walking past Blackford towards Leilon so I could sail onwards to Point Harbour but I ran into Anna. I really don’t know where I’d be without her advice. She’s another one of my hero’s.
She said that I care for people too much… and I keep on putting the entire burden onto myself so that I don’t hurt them. She said if I couldn’t say it to them; write them each a letter detailing my feelings…
I saw Ash just before leaving Anna, she seems to be progressing well, and I pray things continue to go well.
As I stood in the bar, looking down at the parchment, and the quill in my hand and the vial of ink… I just stood there. I just couldn’t pour my heart and soul out onto the letters… I ended up just crying, the children were asleep, and I just cried over… nothing.
When I finally managed to get down and start writing I just explained to both of them how I wasn’t ready for love, and I didn’t want it at the moment… Storold wants to take me on a picnic and he told me he knew it would take time for me to fall in love and that he’ll still be there… M.N just grinned at me, hugged me and said ‘we’ll talk later’…
I don’t know what to do… for some reason or another I thought that as soon as I gave them both a letter everything would just get better… but it’s not better; if they both still love me even after I’ve told them my feelings then I’ve just took a step forward only to be flung back a mile…
Anna said that whatever happened after I gave them the letters would be their fault… not mine… but what if they just continue trying to win my love… what if M.N finds out about Storold and they start competing or something…
I spoke with Quill and he said I should stop showing them that I care about them…I didn’t even know I was…I thought I acted the same way around everyone… do I? Don’t I? He said I shouldn’t get myself into any situations where I am alone with either of them…
I don’t know what to do… I’ve done nothing but collect fruit to make more drinks for the non-alcohol chest… I think I’ll continue just to keep busy and maybe keep away from both M.N and Storold… I want them both in my life… I really do… But Ilsare has them both by the heart and neither of them want to stop loving me… why is my life never easy…
**Two sealed envelopes are present with the journal entry. One entitled ‘To M.N’ and the other ‘To Storold’**

Entry 42

I really don’t know what goes on in my head… I decided to write out everything my mind thinks of and just write it all down, and give it to Anna to read and try to help me…
I just… you would have thought, since I am in control of my own body, that I’d be able to tell what in the name of Elebrathe goes on deep in my mind… but I can’t… I don’t understand me… all I hope is that by doing this at least one person understands me…
I worked the bar almost all evening. I started at my normal start time, and finished late into the night. It’s certainly a lot of fun, and you never know what’s going to happen next… It was the busiest I’ve even seen it last night, but Anna and I managed pretty well, although we now know apple juice appears to be a favourite.
Just before opening, while Anna was resting I travelled all over Mistone, and most of Dregar collecting fruits as we were out of non-alcoholic drinks. I managed to get most drinks in, and I was even able to get a nice batch of blueberries for the pie Anna is making Ash.
I still don’t know what to do about Storold and M.N… I do like them and all… but I really do not love them that way… I’m not sure if any amount of time could ever change that… It’s not that I don’t want to love like that… it’s just I’m too afraid too… but even so... the one thing I've always been able to feel from my heart is when I am deeply in love...
Ah I don’t know… I continue to practise my archery whenever I get the chance, and am still studying this wand, but I just can’t seem to learn the magic behind it… I suppose it’s the presence of necromancy about me… who knows… there’s so little I know…
I’m just so annoyed at myself… even now, I’m too wrapped up in my own mess and loss to notice when anyone else is in pain… I know Anna… it’s not my fault… but I don’t think I’ll ever think any differently… but I’m sure you’ll help me to...

Entry 43

I don’t know why thoughts plague my mind so much lately… I see things as I meditate that I can only deem as….as… I don’t know…
They only seem to occur when first starting to meditate… as soon as I’m in deep meditation they go away… but it’s hard to get that deep with those images in my head… I’m sure it’s nothing…
M.N accepted the fact I only wished to be friends, and he said he understands. I feel even though we’re back to being friends again I’m still acting oddly around him… I suppose I just don’t want to get into that position where he continues to love me…
Storold on the other hand… I’m not really sure where or what happened…
All I know, is that Storold is waiting for me to send him a letter when I am ready for him to love me… but I’ll never be ready for that… If I send him the letter anyways it will hurt him… if I don’t… surely it would hurt him to… but it was his choice… I sent the letters… and they both made their choices… so I suppose it just means… I’ll never see Storold ever again…
My diary entries have been lacking lately… I place it down to me spending all my time battling through the forest of the mists to gather fruits… but that would be a lie as I don’t shoot a single arrow, I rely on the weave to get me through… I suppose I just haven’t known what to write… I’ve been writing everything that has come into my mind onto scrolls and just given them to Anna to read… to see if she can understand me.
I’ve continued to practise my archery, going out and training whenever I have the chance… although that isn’t really as often as it used to be now that I prefer to use all my time doing stuff for the Freelancers. My current exercise in archery is a simple one. I grab a wooden box, which is hard to sink. I then throw it as far as I can out to sea… and I simply shoot at it, trying to improve my aim and to see how many arrows it takes for me to sink it… I’ve discovered the wand Jacchri wanted me to study really helps with the aiming… I tried to learn the spell itself… but, there was no hope. I’ll just have to make sure I have some wands or gems on me…
I prefer it to archery ranges… the waves and current give you a moving target which allows for much better practise. I’m not sure if I’d ever want to go against Jacchri though… that’d be an instant loss for me I would have thought… but then maybe one day when I get better…
I suppose I’ll get back to the children… I promised to try and make a pie for them… wish me luck… I’ll need it…

Entry 44

I don’t know what this feeling is that floods my veins… it grips my bones and strikes at my heart… It’s a feeling that has been with me for years… and will probably be with me till the day I die…
Do you ever get that thought; that wish deep inside you where you wish you still lived your childhood… My childhood at the Elebrathe Guildhall was one of the greatest times of my life…
I just sometimes wish I was still there… or 100 years younger and living here… with Anna… hardly a worry in the world… dreams; it’s all it is really, a deep desire of wanting what I can no longer have...
I’m just wasting my life away; I do nothing but gather stuff for the Freelancers, or for Quilus. I got to see Rhynn again; I sat with her for as long as possible… Her responses of patting me lightly on the head; although to some would maybe be annoying, made me feel comfortable and safe. Everything always feels better when I’m around Rhynn…
I’ve gone travelling; travelled with some friends; just a walk across Dregar… I got to forget my worries for awhile…
I spend a lot of my time within the forest of mists… a place of such beauty; such peacefulness, yet filled with great dangers… many times have I found myself in the middle of the mists grasp. The simple rule one of the rangers at Vale told me, is that when the mist envelops me I should sit quietly, preferably by a tree.
I find it to be the most relaxing experience; to be lost within the sheet of white, the relaxing calm of the forest it creates. Nothing but peace… it’s lonely, that’s a certainty… but with nothing but silence, it places the mind into relaxation… the forest goes into a slumber as all who lie in its depths await the retreat of the mist.
I find, what with me spending a lot of time alone lately, that I can never really think of anything to write… although I have been writing quite a lot lately, it’s just that I write them on separate scrolls… they’re for Anna, and to whoever she wishes to show…
I wonder what my deepest fear… is; for I can feel it… I just can’t reach it…
