[INDENT][INDENT]Spring Blossom 1, 1433

For the lest three weeks now we’d been sailin on this ship.  It’s a pretty big ship.  “Tis a fine vessel”, Papa called it, and Sessa say that “We will see its worth in her eyes after it wethers the first storm.”  They are always saying sort of funny things like that.  But, I’m just glad they brought me with them this time.  Sessa and Papa even rented me my own cabin.  Sessa says its because I’m old enough to have my own, but, truth be told, I think they just like to be alone at nights. Not sure if you can blame them though.  I think Papa is going to be going for a trip far away some day, sooner than Sessa wants him to.  I’m not sure what that means really, but, I’ve heard them talk about it before. Sessa usually gets real quiet then, and Papa too.  But, he holds her and I think it makes her feel better.. like when I was little and Sessa used to hold me while we waited for Papa to come back from sailin on his long trips.  Oh! But speaking of sailin.  So, we’ve been on this boat for three weeks now, I think it is because Sessa is learnin to sail.  She is always on the deck watchin’ an’ helpin’ with the crew.  She said it is becuse one day we will have our own ship an she want to be able to sail it with Papa.  Sessa is real good at it though for just startin, and I think she has done it before, even if she doesn’t admit it.  But, Sessa lies about things sometimes, and especially about before she and Papa met. I don’t know if she can tell I know, sometimes I’m not sure though, she and Papa are both very good at it, at lieing. Sometimes they lie to each other too, which is sort of confusing cause I know they also trust each other more than anybody... parents...

Speaking of learnin’ new things, Papa has been learnin’ to speak like Sessa and me.  In Elven.   O’course he has been learnin’ since Sessa and him met, before I was even born.  I think she used to tease him with it though, which was why she taught me Elven before common.  I like hearing Elven better though, probably because that is how Sessa always sings.  I love to hear Sessa sing.  She and Papa both have really good voices, Papa doesn’t sing as much though, but when he does it is a treat.  Even better when they are together. But, back to Elven.  Papa has been really concentrating on learnin’ it lately, which will be no fun when he can understand Sessa and me.  I think he knows more now then he lets on... It has been so many years since she’s been teaching him and Papa is the smartest man I know. Still,  sometimes the things him and Sessa do don’t always make sense.  I mean, well, the only example I can think of right now is that they are finally getting married.  After all these years of not being married.  I remember the day they told me too.  I wasn’t sure wether to be happy or not.  Sessa was real happy, and Papa too when he said that he asked Sessa to be his wife, and she said yes.  But, I don’t really understand the difference that it makes?  I mean... does it really change things? I am happy they are happy about it, but its not as if they were [strike]mic[/strike] [strike]miseri[/strike] [strike]miserab[/strike] un-happy before? Sessa says maybe I’ll understand some day.  I don’t think any man can ever entirely understand my Sessa though.  Not even Papa.  Not sure how I’m supposed to.  Like when Sessa handed me this book today?  I didn’t understand what she expected me to do with the blank pages at first.  “Whats the point in a book with out words?” But you know what she said?  Well... she didn’t say anything.  She just shrugged and smiled at me.  Well, Reckon that I figured out well enough though. At least, Aunty Lynn will be happy that I'm practicin writin in common more and well if Sessa wasn’t expected me to write on it, I just hope I don’t get in trouble.  Better hide you just in case.

[INDENT][INDENT] Mai 20, 1433

It weren't too long after we got back to Leringard when it happened as it did.  The winds shook the inn, and I remember feelin' like the window's might bust in their places.  The deep roar echoed from the docks.  After the storms quieted Sessa and Papa ran out of the door to see, and made me stay behind wit Lily. Truth be told' it was the scariest thing I cin recall.  I don't think Papa want' to tell me what it was, but I heard them talk about the dragon... EVERYBODY talked about the dragon that busted the docks. An peoples homes. and.. well everything.  

After that things got sort of crazy around the inn.  Sessa was takin' all kinds of folk in.  There were maybe six cots in all the empty rooms each, and beds in the hall.  That halflin' in blue was blessin' many of the wounded, and Lance, and otheres were bringin' water from outwards out of town.  I'd never seen so many hurt! *The writing gets a little shaky*  I just can't imagin' if....
