While I miss Nilanza's beauty, I must love grand, eccentric Arx. The city is warm in its grief, resolute in its loss, stubborn in its many trials. What it suffers - and it does suffer, as surely as its people - may start here, but it will not stay here if allowed to spread. How lucky so many are determined to help. May I grow to be what is needed in this hour.
And in the next hour? May I grow to meet that one too.

I do not enjoy the winter, and this winter was particularly vexing and worrying.

I did it. Everyone's singing songs about the Metallics now, and there's a statue of Copper in the Hall of Heroes, as is appropriate. I'm really thrilled with the sort of reactions I've been getting from everyone. It's a really big deal for me and I'm incredibly happy that my songs have reached so many people. It's an overwhelming feeling.
I've been spending a lot of time answering questions about the Metallics, naturally, but that gets quite tiring at this stage of pregnancy. Not that I want to discourage anyone from asking. I'm just asking for patience as my time grows nearer.

It's a pity to see and hear of so many marriages and other relationships going through stormy times. I feel as if such a thing is common with this sort of weather, but everyone says it's worse this year. I won't lie, I've had my share of struggles as of late, but I hod fast to the idea that she is dear to me still, after all these years, even if I'm having a bit of a gloom about myself.

I sure know how to embarrass myself in the right ways don't I? A good drink, to be sure, but if I'd stayed for another I've little doubt they'd have tried to marry me right then and there!

Relationship Note on Rowenova
Some people claim having children is difficult. I suppose it is but at the end of the day your children are shaped by you and the family. Having a strong willed retainer whom you want to see flourish must be infinitely more difficult. They came to you their own person and old enough to say 'No m'Lord'
Not that Scout Rowenova has ever told me no that I can recall.

Relationship Note on Helena
An interesting re-introduction to the Redrain Princess. I feel we have somewhat more in common to discuss now that my time as a Voice of Redrain is done... And I can share all my Princess Elgana stories with her.
This one time at dinner she said: Well not me Lord Arik, have you considered my sisters instead?

Relationship Note on Theo
Husband.
A strange, somewhat humbling thought. This is not where I thought we would end up when we first met, but here we are. Prince and Princess Velenosa. Royal family of the Lyceum. I am not one for public declarations, but let this be one for the white records, for our future descendants to read:
I pledge my fidelity to you. My loyalty, my heart, my all. I shall be your partner and together we will forge a bright, joyous future.

I watched little Cyril for a bit of time today. He's walking and does that really adorable babble that I'm sure he considers talking.
Watching him reminds me of why I joined the Iron Guard.
I want to protect him.
I want to protect all of the Cyrils of the world.

Sometimes I find myself filled with such hope and think perhaps there are things I can change, can /do/, that matter on a more meaningful scale. Just as soon, however, I feel rather tiny; a small breeze in a hurricane of doings and this world. In such times of conflicting thought or doubt, I try to remember a story told to me when I was just a girl in Farhaven by one of the Seraphs. I won't tell it half as well, but will hope the point still might be made.
A little girl was walking along a beach throwing starfish from the sand back into the ocean. It was a sad scene with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of starfish having been washed up onto the shore. An old man watched this fruitless effort for a time before walking down the dunes to speak to her. "You will never be able to save them all, you know," he told her. "Oh, I know," she replied and kept along her task. "It would take months," he noted further. "Why are you even bothering when it won't make a difference?" Without pausing much, she held up a starfish and said, "It matters to this one," before throwing it into the embrace of the waves.
A small effort, even unnoticed, matters to someone. That is the thing I try to always keep close to heart.

I went to the coziest poetry reading this week, put on by scholar Helena Redrain. A lot of funny folks there, made for a good time when everyone seemed to be feeling so down and the like. Princess Elgana asked me to escort her there, and only one guard tried to stop us to make sure I wasn't someone tryin' to pester her for spare coppers. That's a fair night, to me! The whole thing really did a lot to lift folks spirits up a bit, I figure.
