I will never forget the sound of that song. Haunting and beautiful all in one. It made me feel things I didn't think I was truly capable of.

Despite the distracting, alluring songs, I'm glad we were able to come to an agreement. No reports of further injury and no intense desires to return. Not immediately anyways, I'd still like to go back. I think that means it was a success.

This new normal keeps getting stranger and stranger.

Relationship Note on Calista

When training starts to feel like punishment, you know you’re doing it right! If it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth it.

I am proud of you for sticking through it.

Relationship Note on Lucita

Lady Lucita is quickly becoming one of my favorite people to spend an afternoon with. Her bright aura contrasts my own and really pulls me out of the dark places my mind likes to wander. I appreciate her influence.

A reflection on reflections

Standing in the shrine of the Thirteenth, taking in the daunting, powerful, terrifying surroundings, my mind began to clear. Staring at my reflection and the reflections of those who came to sit with me, I began to see.

We can’t know courage with out fear.
We can’t be strong with out feeling weak.
We can’t feel happy having never been sad.
We can’t recognize good with out seeing evil.

Relationship Note on Caelis

I bore witness to my cousin's marriage today. Mostly. There were some obstructions to the view to be perfectly honest.

But the point is, my cousin, who I have come to lean on and who I have kept close through out our childhood and in to our adult lives, is now the Princess-Consort of House Valardin. Further more, she is marrying a man that I call friend. I could not be happier for the both of them. I know she will keep him on his toes. I know he will be her moral compass.

Neither by chance, nor by fate.

Relationship Note on Vercyn

I look forward to marching north. My Husband tells me epic tales of his time fighting under your command. I am anxious to experience the same. My troops are all as prepared as can be for the cold. I thank the Gods this march does not come in the winter.

We'll get through this together.

I missed my Northern friends. Spending an evening at the Spirits really lists the spirits. I wonder if that is why it is called the Spirits. Or, are they referring to the whiskey? Or perhaps, the shamanistic connotations?

The world may never know.

Relationship Note on Orazio

The words of Legate Orazio's proclamation yesterday are an incredible step in the right direction. As I understand it, humanity has always been capable and strong in the ways of magic. It was our given right to seek with in us the strength to fight equally against those who oppose us. I am very grateful to see this ban lifted once again and I hope that it will be met with the same seriousness, discipline and reverence we approach the learning of any weapon with.

Relationship Note on Mirari

I am very lucky to have such clever and talented people around me. A silent Masquerade. What a novel idea. I only regret not being able to enjoy the full thing. We'll have to throw more. What good if fight for life if you aren't living it? Well done.

My job comes with peaks and valleys built in. Ebb and flow. Peace and war. We are now fully engulfed in a time of war. As often as I wish for peace and pray for peace to last, I know my duty falls to times of war. It is here that I thrive and here that I can do the most good and make the most impact, protect the most innocent lives. I have been called the Lady of War before and it is a nickname I wear with pride. When we aim for peace we must prepare for war and I have no doubt that we grow stronger daily.

Sending my military off with out me is a strange feeling indeed. I know Anze will do well in his new position and that the soldiers of the Malvici Army will do their part under his command.

The fight for the Arch has come to a peak. Lets get this settled swiftly. We have work to do.

Congratulations Lord Admiral, I know you will lead our fleet well.

I arrived back in the city of Arx today. Traveling through the harbor after such devastation was eye opening. Being away from the center of leadership during a time of crisis was taxing on my mind. I would have been here to help if I could. But, as always, the Thraxian Fealty has taken care of themselves and their threats with a competence and conviction like none other.

My own adventure proved rather fruitful. Our ships are ready to set sail on the western portion of the Lycean Sea. A harbor to make landfall was found. And we press now to take back the Cyrto Arch and do our part to see that the resources at sea are kept for the Compact.

The lull is over. Our important work is picking up once more.

Relationship Note on Estaban

Lessons learned:

Winter storms are no small matter.
Lord Estaban is an excellent swimmer.
I'm not nearly as talented a sailor as I thought I was.

I'm glad you didn't die.

Relationship Note on Edward

His story is a fascinating one. I am always inspired by those who work hard for what they have. Even when one inherits holdings, money, what have you, it takes a special kind of person to see those gifts grow. I truly think Baron Edward has the ambition needed to take his circumstances and turn them in to something strong.

The one thing that remains the same is that things will always change. It is not the changes that happen to us, happen around us, that define us. But it is how we face them that makes all the difference. Changes beyond my understanding, beyond my say or control are happening quietly and in the shadows. When they come to light, I will be ready.

I saw the strangest thing out on a hunt this week. A family of boar correlated to the bodies in a shallow grave. It really gives one a moment of pause to think how we are all connected. Spirits and bodies, an endless cycle. The concept of a soul is such a strange thing to ponder.

Relationship Note on Melinda

The more I get to know you, the better I like you. It doesn't take a warrior to have a tactical mind. You are an impressive woman.

House Malvici has always been known for its strong military and keen tactical execution. My ancestors were clever warriors and on through the generations down to my cousins and I today. I couldn't be more proud of what our House has become.

More chances to gather around the map and pull our thoughts together will be coming.
