I hurt myself a lot at the Gauntlet, but it was still an amazing time. It was probably one of the best times I have had in the city. Today was a good day overall. I found a new buddy too. I think the only negatives is that I might have an odd new nickname, and I made a fool of myself talking to a person that I might need to speak to on a regular basis. It is still has been a fun day.

I am looking forward to the end of the year. It has been a wonderful time being back in the city these last months. I have met some interesting people, and some of them I believe I can call them friends. There have been several bumps along the way, but that is the nature of life I know in time the call of the road will fade into a whisper. I must confess that I am happy to rest my head in the same place each night.

I went to work, and I am formulated the letters I need to write to people. I am not sure who I need to write to first, but I know, but I know there are great many things I need help on, and I cannot do them myself. There are several goals I want to accomplished before the Spring, and I hoped that I will be able to see them through. My body is strong, but sometimes I feel that my spirit has grown weaker by remaining in the city. Some days I just want to rest, but alas I must keep going. I must force myself to keep moving forward with my plans, because if I fail...... I do not wished to think about my life if I a fail.

I have decided double efforts in the next month in achieving my goals. I have also made the promise to myself to spend what little time I do have to myself in the company of the people that come to enjoy the city. What is a life if there is not just a bit of joy in it? I might even attend some of these parties and gatherings that seem to be happening in the city.

Whitehold Ale and good company can ease a troubled mind. I know that is an obvious statement, but I don't care. I am happy with the company I kept today. These all the days I shall look upon fondly when I am old and grey. These are entries that people will read in my journal and wonder what made them so amazing. I hope in elderly state of mind I can still recall why these days filled me with such joy and excitement. There are times when a person believes everything is beautiful and filled hope. It does not matter if it really true. Sometimes a fable can still bring upon happiness.

The past few days have been better. I have been able to talk to more people about my plans, and hopefully they can assist me. I need to send a message to Lady Khanne, and I have realized I have forgoing my sparring sessions too. There seems to be not enough time in the day to get everything done. I still believe I can finished this plan in a matter of months, instead of a years. I will know how accurate my plan is by the end of next month.

Let me see all the different ways that my plans have not worked recently. I have not gain any new backers in my endeavor. I might have insulted the Vice-Captain of Valorous Few. I was too drunk to get the names of two new backers, and I am searching my room for the notes of the names that Lord Ian gave me. I think he is right about some parts of my plan. I think I am scrapping the offensive aspects, and just stick to the defensive aspects of my plan. Well, I have to go out and hit the grindstone some more today.

I believe I can all I done for now in solving my first issue. I still have a mixture of dread and relief as I wait for more information to be revealed to me. I know I have to dismiss the feelings, and move on to more pressing matters. I have decided to take on a massive undertaking in hopes that my knowledge, skills, and resolve we allow me to succeed in this task. Perhaps, I should have waited to make some people that I knew were allies only time will tell.

Today, I spent most of my time sending out letters about that situation I had after the job that left me with this beautiful scar near my face. I guess that job afterwards left me with other scars too. Anyways, I sent off a variety of messages today to find answers to my questions. I really do not like asking favors from nobles. They might turn into future clients, or some other problem might arise from being in their debt. The great thing is that I went fishing, and a couple of my inquiries was actually known. I am not sure if I am relieved, worried, or confused even more by that knowledge. I am going to head to The Spirits, and see if a couple of drinks will help me decide.

Today was my first day to be really a part of the city. I must confess I am not sure if I missed guarding caravans, and all the other adventures that come with just being a sellsword. I am thankful that House Halfshav has given me permission to still do some sellsword, when it does not conflict with the House and Redrain goals. I really enjoyed the dinner. I think I should have relaxed more, but I always believe that it is better to be seen as stiff at first than seen as a fool. It is harder to shake the image of being a fool than it is a stiff. I ran into a Princess who recently was injured in a gauntlet. We had an interesting conversation. I met a nice seamstress. She was a Northern refugee. She was a bit shy.
