Lady Ann to you I give waddles, good luck.
Archdutchess Jaenelle I do not know what an Archdutchess would want that I could offer, but this I will say. Thank you for the time we spent talking, sharing a drink, and enjoying one another's company.
Archduke Patrizio Much the same as the Archdutchess but I can say that I thank you for the times we spoke and shared a drink. For the serious times and the fun ones. But always remember, winter is the best and it always will be!
To the rest of those whom I called friends, there is so much more to do. I wish I could be there by your side to do it. Remember never let your freedom of choice be taken from you. Never let another make it for you, we all are who we are, and it is what we choose to do that makes our stories good or bad. Stay strong, work together.

Relationship Note on Ian
There lived a noble knight, with a spirit so bright,
Sir Ian, the Mushroom Knight, true and wise.
From humble beginnings, his tale did unfold,
A simple spore, in a world so vast and bold,
Beneath the forest canopy, he began to grow,
With roots deep in the earth, his courage would show.
His armor, a shade of mossy green,
Adorned with mushrooms, a magnificent scene,
Each toadstool a symbol of nature's might,
Guiding Sir Ian through darkness and light.
With a shield made of bark, strong and true,
He defended the innocent, both old and new,
His sword, a blade of ethereal gleam,
Slicing through shadows, a radiant beam.
Through enchanted woods and misty glades,
Sir Ian ventured, on daring escapades,
Protecting the woodland creatures, big and small,
Answering nature's call, he would never fall.
His heart, pure as crystal, shone through the trees,
In tune with the whispers of the forest breeze,
He fought with honor, for justice and right,
A beacon of hope, in the darkest of night.
With wisdom and grace, he led the way,
In harmony with nature, he'd always stay,
For the Mushroom Knight understood the worth,
Of preserving the balance of our precious Earth.
And so, the legend of Sir Ian did grow,
A hero of nature, for all to know,
In tales and songs, his name forever sung,
The Mushroom Knight, his journey never done.
For in the heart of every mushroom spore,
Lies the potential for something more,
A reminder to us all, big or small,
That greatness can sprout, wherever we may fall.
So let us remember Sir Ian's brave plight,
And strive to be guardians of nature's light,
For in unity and love, we shall find,
A world where mushroom knights forever shine.

Relationship Note on Pasquale
Where the forest whispers secrets at night,
There lived a lord, Pasquale by name,
A noble Mushroom, of glory and fame.
Lord Pasquale, the Mushroom Lord so fair,
With a cap like velvet, of vibrant flare,
His spores like stardust, shimmering bright,
He ruled over fungi, a regal sight.
In moonlit glades, where enchantment grew,
Lord Pasquale's kingdom, a magical hue,
His subjects, the mushrooms, loyal and true,
Beneath his reign, in harmony they'd strew.
With each gentle step, he'd grace the ground,
Mystical powers in his presence found,
Whispering secrets to the ancient trees,
Unlocking nature's wonders with gentle ease.
Oh, Lord Pasquale, revered and adored,
Protector of nature, beloved and restored,
His wisdom bloomed like petals in spring,
Guiding his kingdom with a gentle wing.
His courtiers danced with grace and delight,
As moonbeams bathed them in soft moonlight,
They swayed and twirled to nature's sweet song,
In Lord Pasquale's realm, where they belong.
The seasons shifted, as they often do,
Yet Pasquale's realm remained steadfast and true,
Through summer's warmth and winter's chill,
His kingdom thrived, untouched and still.
But time, relentless, does not cease to flow,
And even for lords, its currents will sow,
The day arrived, when Lord Pasquale knew,
His reign must end, bidding a fond adieu.
With grace and poise, he took his last stand,
Passing his crown with an outstretched hand,
To a young sprout, a worthy heir,
Ensuring his legacy, forever to share.
Now, his legend lives on in whispered tales,
Of Lord Pasquale's kingdom, where beauty prevails,
A Mushroom Lord, with a heart so kind,
Forever engraved in the tapestry of time.

Gravity's grasp, pulling me down alone,
Flailing and fighting, for control in vain,
As the world rushes up, to meet me again.
The wind whips by, as I tumble and spin,
My heart racing fast, my mind in a spin,
I close my eyes, and feel the rush,
As I hurtle towards, the ground in a hush.

Gravity's grasp, pulling me down alone,
Flailing and fighting, for control in vain,
As the world rushes up, to meet me again.
The wind whips by, as I tumble and spin,
My heart racing fast, my mind in a spin,
I close my eyes, and feel the rush,
As I hurtle towards, the ground in a hush.
But as I fall, I begin to see,
The beauty of life, all around me,
The trees and the sky, the birds in flight,
The wonder of it all, in clear sight.
And in that moment, I feel a release,
Of all my fears, and all my unease,
For falling, it seems, can be a gift,
A chance to see life, from a different lift.
So I embrace the fall, with open arms,
And let go of all my doubts and harms,
For in the end, it's not about the fall,
But the courage and grace, to rise after all.

Relationship Note on Patrizio
I hate it, I feel like my leathers are going to just slip off of me, I been spending most my days
in a cool creek out in the woods or hidden away some place in the shade.
You can keep this heat; I look forward to the cooler days already.

It feels as though you're falling apart.
The world seems gray, the sky turns black,
And everything you once loved, you now lack.
The tears they come and flow like a stream,
A heavy weight that you can't redeem.
Your heart aches with a profound pain,
As though it will never beat again.
You try to smile, to put on a face,
But the sadness lingers, it won't erase.
The laughter that once filled the air,
Is now replaced with a silent despair.
Oh, how it hurts to be so sad,
To feel like the world is just too bad.
But remember that this too shall pass,
And brighter days will come at last.
So hold on tight, and don't let go,
For even in the darkness, there's a glimmer of hope.
And know that you're not alone in this,
For many others feel the same sadness.

Relationship Note on Caspian
I had many things going on when I came to the city and never got to truely sit down to get to know him and in that I do have regrets about. But here recently it seems that we have found the time to sit and talk and I am thankful for it. I have found a friend that I did not know I had. Every time I sit and speak with him, he truly amazes me.

So many things.
Am I coming or going?
Am I standing still or spinning.
I can't think.
I can't concentrate.
So much pain.
How do people do it.
I can't think.
I can't sleep.
I got rolled by a fucking boar!

The quick sight of prey
The Instict kicks in
The Hunter is on the hunt
Stalking waiting patiently
Heart beating hard
The sound filling ears
Like thunder rolling over water
The sent caught on the wind
A chase
A game
A grunt
A groan
A flash of teeth
Pain
Exciment
Breaths taken deeply
The hunter stands and looks down
The hunter has not only caught one
But two prey this day.
