A Dragon took me away from Daddy and my manor in Port Hampshire telling me I had to fight in some war. What do I care about war? I was fine and happy before that thing came to grab me. My Daddy cut me off from all expenses upon hearing from me. He didn’t believe the bit about the dragon, and thought I had run off to “be independent” …again.
 
  He said that this time he would not give me any money. I asked him why , and he (or the banker I was asking) said because being independent means you have to earn your own living. Seems like a stupid idea. Here’s Daddy with all this money, and I have to work like a common peasant?
 
  So be it.
 
 
  So I wound up in Hilt or Hint or whatever the town is called. It can’t be that important of a place because there are no big shopping centers or mansions like they have in Port Hampshire. I did meet some interesting people though. They all seemed to be concerned about a girl with red hair. She seemed jumpy and said her heart was on a pike somewhere and when I offered to go find it for her she said it didn’t want to be found. How silly. Why would one just want to leave their heart out there? Now that I think about it , it may have been a figure of speech since I don’t think you can live without your heart. But still, it sounds painful.
 
  A man named Darkchild, or Kiva, who fought only with his hands and feet helped me through the sewers where some nasty strong rats lived. Now I’ve had a little training with a rapier and I’m up to the point where I’m just about ready to wield two at once, but those rats were strong! I guess commoners must be stronger than I think if the rats are that strong then the people cleaning out the sewers must be even stronger. I feel bad for them.
 
  Kiva warned me , because he said I seemed to be an “Adventurous girl” because I told him I learned to pick locks to get into Daddy’s wine cellar, and how to sneak around to get out of my house late at night, and that traps were kind of like disabling certain gnomish alarms set on my house so I could get back in…
 
  He warned me that Hilt was full of womanizers and that I should be careful. I don’t remember their names but they both started with Fs and sounded alike which made me think they were twins but Kiva said they weren’t. I remember one’s shirtless, because I met him already. Shirtless singing guy talking about demons coming to Hint and playing stuff on a guitar…
 
  So much for my first few days in Hlint…That’s it! It was Hlint! Oh well, still not important.
