The Journal of Eghaas Treebringer

[Tanman]

Sunra, Oclar 8, 1409
*Eghaas sits next to the quietening camp fire in the Goblin Wastelands. The Moon is full and he can hear the chirping of birds. He yawns, and takes out his journal opening to the recent page and begins to write*
I have spending more time with my dwarven friend Dalan. Its nice to see him now and then. When we travel he uses that staff I gifted him. I met Dalan shortly after  I first arrived in Hlint. He was with one of my friends that has recently been deceased Sakura....Firesteed *he pauses at this point silently digesting the memories...he sniffles and continues writing* I remember our very first major adventure with him and that was in the Direwood Outskirts where we saw a massive worm appearing. Since then I have heard of other occurences of this worm appearing in Hlint.

Since then we have become good friends. I found out that he joined the Angels while I continued my interests with Jin (the Farstriders) and later on I would spend my time with the likes of Valdemar, Alleina and Tarradon Duvall. But when I can I try to have short trips with him from Hlint to Port Hampshire to Karthy...all the while talking and sharing ideas.

*At this point...he smiles closes the journal and settles to sleep*

Threas, Novlar 19, 1410    *In the Wild surge Inn Eghaas writes relaxed and composed in his journal*  It is just a year and a bit to the day when I last made my last journal entry. During the most part of that time I have been in solace to return to the Forest I grew up in...the Forests of the Mists. I had a lot of things going on my mind and I felt that the only way to to do this was to get away from it all. Initially I kept a good part of the time  building a base for my stay there and generally tended to the forests seeking out the general views. I did not venture too far, and kept largely to myself. During that time, I received a few messages one coming from Elohanna Min Litae, an Aeridinite Wizard which I have been getting to know quite well. I am quite fond of her and treasure the friendship.    She had wanted to speak to me, and I quickly penned a reply letter stating that I shall take her up on that offer when I returned. And so after many months reflecting and contemplating I returned to Mistone and its uncanny weirdness...Hlint. I met with a friend Solarina...I recall her because I helped her regain some of her history and regained some of her memory. Apparently because of that she says that she owes me a life debt. I enjoy travelling so naturally I invited her on a trip of sorts. Its nice to talk to different people. I gave her a flower seeing that I know she had a fondness for them as a friendly gesture. At our parting, that night she gave me a light kiss and quickly scampered away. I was slightly confused by this. *he frowns slightly* she is a good friend. I hope I don't hurt her feelings if she thinks its something more.    I had the pleasure to meet Eldarwen Hilleraname, the High Priest of Lucinda ...I think. I can never get these titles correct...suffice to say that she is in the order. I have met her on numerous occasions but this was one of the times that we really talked, with Ozy and Anna. I knew of the name Eldarwen through  Alleina  Shiante and  the Hilleraname sisters. She had very interesting stories to tell, and coupled with Ozymandias detail they are an interesting pair. From what I gathered she has an issue with Aeridin, so I was quite hesitant to ask further about it in case I struck a wrong chord in the matter.    I took a trip with Barion and Dalan to meet young Abigail. She is an adorable girl. She looks a lot like her mother, with her pink hair and all. Dalan said that she has gone nuts talking to the squirrels and all. I couldn't believe it myself until I saw it with my own eyes. I would have thought that Dalan would have understood this seeing that he has the power to keep animals at peace. *a smile curls on the edge of his mouth*. I held Abigail and as I did my heart skipped a beat. A trickle of a tear streaked down my cheek as her likeness reminded me of Sa'kura.     All in all it has been an interesting time back. I shall have to catch up with Dalan. I have yet to catch up with Tarradon and the others. I have not met either Ireth or Muireann.    *closes his book and lays in his bed resting*

*In the Wild Surge Inn Eghaas is at the table eating breakfast, he finishes slowly and pays the waitress. He walks out in the sun, and sits under the shade of the nearby trees and casually flicks open his book. He turns to a certain section and with a flicker of recognition takes out his quill and begins to pen in the book.*
  Wedlar, Jenra 18, 1411 These past few months have been interesting. There has been things to ponder while I have been back...things that other people have said to me...things that I see. During that previous conversation with Ozymandias and the others (NB noted in the previous post) we started on a critque  on each other. Naturally Eldarwen had started to begin with what we thought of Ozymandias and to say the least, the things we heard were interesting. Some of which were Ozzums (I think thats what it is called) that we know so well and what we understood as his underlying intentions. All of which I think may have surprised the aging elf himself.  After that was over, Eldarwen turned the attention to me. "What does everyone think about Eghaas?" I was a bit surprised that she would take it in this direction, but even more so by the first person that voiced his opinion. Yes, it was Ozymandias, that started his point of view of what I thought of me. He proceeded to suggest that when he first met me he had thoughts that I would begin life as an adventurer, seeking my way to riches and power. He surmised that as an adventurer, I would spend my days on Mistone battling the various creatures on Mistone and then at the stage where I am now, he thought I would spend most of my time on Dregar continuing the blood lust.   To his pleasant surprise maybe, at least surprise, Ozymandias had said that he changed his perception and thought to believe that I have a purpose in life and maybe of benefit to Layonara. I  was curious as to why he would think this way, so I interrupted and asked him. He said it was a simple answer. I simply walked up and talked to him of various things in Layonara. Most people that he has observed in Layonara (and it has been a long one might I add!) has been simply to be adventurers. The ones that seek adventure and gold above all other things. He surmised that by talking about these things that I would have something to do with that aspect and make a change to it. (NB. This is my interpretation of what he meant, he might have meant something else).  I thought about this for a while.  In a way I felt that he was right. My life does have a purpose other than pure adventure, trading, war mongering *he giggles a little*. My contribution to rid the evil of Pyrtechteron and my brief adventure ridding a runestone of Corath origin are such examples of at least having some type of purpose. Also playing a role in little Abi's life.  This brings me to another part of my tale. Little Abigail. Having made a visit to her location, with Dalan and Barion, I made a short visit to her in Dregar  myself. I wanted to see her, on my own. I arrived there in the village. Her class was nearly over and when I saw her she was a bit hesitant as she had only seen me once or twice. Once I pulled my hood down, a flicker of recognition arose from her eyes and she smiled. I opened my arms and was ready to pick her up but as I did so she withdrew slightly. I was a bit perturbed since the last time I attempted to pick her up she allowed me to. I suspected she allowed me to last time because I was with Dalan and Barion.  I compromised with her, and settled for walking with her around the village. Boy does she know how to get her way!  She knows a little bit about her mother. I talked about Sa'kura  with her. I told her stories about her mother. Her eyes widened with excitement as I told her our adventure in the Direwoods where we met with a giant worm and where both Dalan, Sa'kura and I among others all ran for our lives. I told her stories about Sakura's magical ability and I could see that she was taking a keen interest.  During one of my stories she blurted out "Hey  look what I can do!" As she did so, a soft illuminated fiery light appeared around her hands. It glowed for an instant, and then faded away. I took note of this and asked of her where did she learn this feat. She shrugged. I could feel that she had a bit of the Weave from that point on.  When she found out about my magical abilities she pressed me to teach her more. I smiled at her and said that in time I may decide to. But she started to pout a little and with a cute face having that expression how can anyone refuse? So I showed her briefly how to make that light in her hand last a bit longer.  When it was time to leave, I gave her a big hug.  I am glad that  we bonded alot together, it was good taking the trip.  *With that Eghaas closes his book, packs it away and heads out the west gate*
 
  *a lone note is slight attached to this side of the journal*
  Elohanna...what more can i say. The moment that I talked to her in Port Hampshire many moons ago I have found myself more increasingly close to her. She is smart and endearing. She is somewhat different to Akki. Whereas Akki can be strange and fleeting (seemingly flirting from one person to the next) Elohanna is nothing of the sort. Friendly...understanding and forgiving I am seemingly glad that my relationship with Akki ended the way that it did. It meant that I could finally meet Elohanna. Whether that was by fate, I do not know. But I am glad all the while for it. Akki who was not very forgiving to me as an individual, Elohanna has given me the direct opposite. For that I am appreciative.  Shortly after I returned from my trip to the Forests of the Mists to contemplate things in solitude my talks with her have become more engaging and intimate. I have taken to making an excursion with her to go to different and exotic places that Mistone and Dregar has to offer. One time I had decided that we would take a trip to the Path of Elements. Ranewin had shown me the place before and I really wanted to share the time with Elohanna. There are four areas of the Path of Elements, Earth, Fire, Water and Air. The path of Air...which is located high up in the mountains. We could see the land of Mistone as far as the eye could see.   Being up in the clouds was amazing and I could feel the clouds enveloping us. It was truely serene and a blissful feeling. We had climbed many levels but we could not both reach the top. On another occassion we visited to that place again but this time we visted the Path of Earth and Water. The Path of Earth led us to a balcony towhere we could see a large waterfall. It was very beautiful to see. Elohanna looked radiant. Her title is known as Daughter of the Light and it was a sight to behold. The Path of the Water was more beautiful and spending time with her was very nice indeed.   We did not see the Path of Fire, Ranewin showed me that, and it was a bit foreboding. Perhaps another time.    I have yet to see her again, and I do hope that the months ahead that I spend with her will be memorable and be a warm one.

*Eghaas is seated near Lake Rillon. He looks composed and relaxed. He takes out his journal and flicks through it marking certain pages, adding additional bits to it. He smiles softly at a certain moment, and then flicks to the end of where he had written and begins to write in his fair hand*  Tunar, Jular 24, 1411  Time flies fast. I enjoy my time talking to friends about past events and also furthering my specialty which is alchemy. It is good to be able to walk in the widerness and pick the ingredients to make a healing potion to aid those people in need. I have indeed used a few to ask travellers that were wounded if they needed aided. Pretty much all of them accepted the aid gracefully. Knowing that I can aid but respect their wishes if they choose not to have it is rewarding and fulfilling in itself. I think it is one thing to create the medicene that people need but to graciously accept their wishes if one refuses it.  I cannot remember the exact details of how it came about, but Dalan had expressed his interest in making Essences of Power that were need in some of his work in the future. Looking at my notes I knew that Essence of Power was something that I could help Dalan with so I rendered my service in helping him make it, so that he can use it when the timing was right. Armolas had the kindness to show me where I could find one of the core ingredients for the essence. Adventurine. For that I am grateful. I too offered to make essences for him when I felt confident.  To date, I have made three essences and one that I bought off Armolas as an example. I hope Dalan can use them appropriately.  *With that  Eghaas closes the journal packs it away, thereafter relaxing looking at the scenery with the wildlife around him*

*Eghaas is seated in Lake Rillon, hearing the fish swimming and the wild life around him is peaceful and calming. He digs in his pack and pulls out his journal. He takes out a quill inks it intricately and begins to write*

    It has been such a long time since I have written in this journal. There has been a lot going on in the last few months. There have been a few things  that have happened over the last few months that is worthy of note. Dalan invited me to his naming of the axe. I was curious as to what this meant. Little did I realize that this meant bloodying his axe. I had to tell Dalan that out of our friendship I will accompany him but that I will only take part if anything got out of hand. I let him have the honor of doing justice…although I do not agree with it myself, he is after all a dwarf, and I respect his wishes as he does mine.  
  Things with Elohanna have been going well. We meet each other and talk about things, and I think I am slowly getting to know her a lot better. I have offered to travel with her to Dregar at some point. I am hoping that we can see things there  that are very beautiful. Elohanna had expressed her concern that she had feelings for another and wondered whether that would have an impact on our growing relationship. I listened with a heavy heart but when it came to my question of whether she found it in her heart that she still loved...I received the answer that I was after. I accepted her feelings and said that it was perfectly normal. I hope our relationship will grow into something more. Time will tell. I often tell her stories of my past and she listens  with interest with what I have to say.I hope we can share more time together.
  I happened to visit Abigail again. She is growing to be a very adventurous and daring young lady. She was in class and as I popped my head through the window her eyes widened and she smiled. There was a flicker of recognition as well as she jumped into my arms after class and I gave me a hug after class. “Uncle Eggy” she would  call me. I know some people call me that, the name has caught on well.
 
  We strolled in a near by forest and she showed me things that Dalan had taught her such as tracking animals.  It was shaky by ranger’s , but was impressive for a child.  Dalan had told me about his visits to see Abigail, and he had showed her the simple basics., While I saw her, I showed her how to focus on the weave and tap into it. To say the least she was pretty fidgety and did not in the least want to learn anything!
  In any case, my trip to see her was fruitful. I hope to see more of her and see how she develops as a person.

My excursions go well. I have come back from time in the wilderness and have met with various people of different backgrounds. I will write on that later. I have caught up with some friends of mine. There are so many to name here. But some people closer to me are Dalan who I have not met in a long time. I hope one day, we are able to travel again, and dear Abigail. To explain it further, Abigail is my adopted neice. I have written about her in previous entry in here somewhere.

She has finally grown up and I have had the priviledge to go with her to travel with her to many different places and going about our different things.
She has had her love life to contend with but I am glad that has sorted itself out now and everything is fine again.
