Thankfully my father shared some of his Northern experiences with me before he died or I might never have been able to win first place in an ice skating competition. The trophy will sit on the shelf where all of Talen's awards sit in my room.

The next Lyceum project is underway and I am so excited to see this through. Little by little.

I have never been more proud of my people than I am at this moment. The watch tower project was a huge undertaking and took months to even plan before people were sent out to accomplish the tasks they had set out to do.
Whether that was creating the connections between houses and lands, planning the color coordinations for the fire and what it all meant so we were all on the same page, to the small details that if forgotten could have been devastating. The Lyceum banded together to showcase our strengths and to strengthen the weaknesses of others in the process. We are better for this, we are stronger, and we are much more prepared to protect those we love and the neighbors we might not have met yet.
We are the Hundred Cities, we are passionate and fiercely independent but we are unified like we have never been before, and for that I wish to thank the Lyceum for your continued support and understanding while we grow and flourish. Your spirit will always burn as brightly as the flames within the watch towers.

Winning second place within the Tournament of Thorns was an enjoyable experience for me. I wish to thank those who worked so diligently in the creation and execution of such a grand scaled undertaking. I shall wear my cloak with pride, and send a letter for what I want from my friends in the Twilight Court anyway. What could go wrong?

I have been asked to bring a vial of water to the renewal ceremony hosted by Legate Ailith. I requested two, one for the Lyceum and one for the personal waters that are found in my favorite place. We grow, we change, but like water sometimes there are things that remain constant.

Every morning one of my assistants comes to me to inform me of the day's schedule. At the end of the list, she would always inform me that there were threats made on my life and that I needed to be careful. Some of those meetings were about my life being threatened. It is so refreshing not to have those meetings any longer.

Sometimes it is good to know that while you leave, you are never gone. Sometimes it is equally as important to extend that hand and inform someone else that though they no longer walk the halls of the past, they will never be unwelcome in the future.

I am thankful to Duchess Cambria and Duke Hadrian for allowing me to visit their beautiful city as I begin my tour around the Lyceum. Lord Marzio provided the greatest entertainment with the War Parade, and House Mazetti itself rose to the occasion to showcase their talents and the might of their city.

Two years have passed since your death. It is easier to think of you. I smile more at your memory than feel the sorrow that plagued me during the first year. Your things are still scattered around, but most have been given away or packed, and that too has been an easier task to accomplish with the passing of time. I welcome the stillness and silence of being alone, and it is no longer strangling or fill me with anxiety to fill.
Perhaps it is time that I remove my wedding ring? Or maybe that will take another year.

Relationship Note on Josephine
I could write how Josephine was brilliant in her abilities to turn metal into art, how everything she touched was a work of art. I could speak of her generosity to those around her, those she cared for were never without and she was the first to offer assistance. Then there is her stern will and code of honor, she lived by her morals and never bent to those that she considered beneath her.
I will say that Josephine and her family are from Lenosia, and as such they are family to all who consider Lenosia home. I will always make sure that those who remain in Lenosia honor Josephine in remembering how she lived, loved, and fought to the end.

A work in progress. Something to always strive for, I think, to never allowing yourself to simply settle.
Spidersilk cloth is something that my son was given when he was born. A baby blanket that was so soft and warm, he slept through the night with it clutched around his small form. I have always wished for that feeling to be extended to those that have never had the pleasure of feeling so secure.
Soon. We still have work to do, but soon, and I am so excited for what we will continue to accomplish.

I have learned a great lesson recently. A statement taken without context is simple a statement in which we portray our own experiences, assumptions, and ideals.
I prefer...
I hope...
I think...
Ask why before judgment is cast. Engage before assuming. Learn about people and take interest in the lives of others. Some people are truly fascinating.

In times of change, the Lyceum has done as it has always done and come together for the greater good. From all social classes, differences have been put aside as one by one, commoner to prince, they stand ready to defend our lands, our people, and it rises above simply duty but because it is our home and we would die for it.
Do not look to the Lyceum and expect us a single faltering step, you will be watching for eternity and there are much more interesting things to observe.

Even the quietest animals, turning to shadows to move about the world, still leave evidence behind to the rest of the world to show they are there. No one's movements can remain hidden forever, no one's secrets or lives may be kept without evidence.
Unfortunately once found, these animals are usually not around much longer.

Relationship Note on Leona
Our birthday is next month. Is this where we thought we would be? A reminder that I expect a present, and need to figure out how I will ever top last years. It will not be easy, but maybe I shall be the present and come for a visit. It isn't like I don't know where you've gone, you can't hide. We are forever connected.
I am better than I thought I would be, though you have never doubted my strength and I never worry about your's. You have made sure that I would be fine, that I would have a strong foundation around me before you left. It is such a Leona thing to do, worry about others while you had such a daunting journey ahead. You will be fine as well. I love you.
