No soul so young should know such fear to be brought low to weeping on a taste of fresh air and freedom. It breaks my heart that any child might suffer in the way that these children have, and I hope that from this day forward -- they know only those who would protect them, care for them, and see that they have the freedom and support to have the lives they deserve. May they find strength, and that burden of memory be lessened.

Through storm and rain we met them upon the beaches, in the mountain pass, and through the city of Stormwall. And though they desired to feast upon us, we instead gave them the feast of our weapons, the hooves of our steeds, and the very rock and dirt beneath our feet. And though the city of Stormwall burned, the fleet felt the fury of the ocean storm, and our enemies felt the strength of our combined forces. My wish is that those in Setarco fare as well.

I am honored to have fought along the Highlord, Prince Edain once more, the Marquis Jacque Lyonesse, Lord Alban Farshaw, and Dame Esoka Greenblood. None shall forget the sacrifice of Lady Eirlys Greenmarch. May she know only peace.

The time for travel comes again soon, to once more don armor, heft flail, and ride forth. The destination is as yet unknown, but the anticipation of movement is thick in the air. The Compact prepares for war, and a Knight prepares for duty.

I went to a party, on my own, without needing to be coerced. I saw people that I was glad to see. And now I have a fancy bottle of wine. Yes, my brother is in fact a ham. He's also a pretty good dancer, and damn lucky. Congrats to he, and Saedrus.

There are many things that I may be in this life, and there may be some days when I question those things. But of all of those, I shall never question that I am a brother.

It seems that Daisy is quite good at making friends with all that she meets. She has grown to be both fearless and friendly. I have thought perhaps to train her. I might look to the Keatons for advice in the matter. They are famous for their own hounds.

My journey to Sanctum and back was uneventful, which is perhaps the best that one can hope for given these times. Since my return, I have heard of fire and attacks within the very walls of Arx. There is much work to be done, and it is time for me to return to work here.

I would apologize for my behavior, but I'm not sure that I could manage to say the words. It is difficult to apologize when you don't truly believe that you are wrong.

I have seen a giant exist. I've watched the life drain from all four of its great eyes like so many other mundane creatures. Though one of its heads might have wished us dead in it's unnatural madness, the other bore us no ill will. That death weighs on me now as I remember it. A fantastical storybook being, yes, freed from evil corruption that plagued it but also blotted out forever ...and by my own hand, no less.

That is not a thing to celebrate.

I can see now, having experienced it firsthand, how our Freedoms and Fidelity might appear to stand in direct opposition of one another. I would say to anyone reaching such a conclusion: the ties that bind our hearts and our word are not shackles. They are means of support. So tensile are they that even across the great unknown, as faces and voices fade from my aging mind and this flawed body sags like the dislocated joint that it is... these hold me up.

Relationship Note on Aleksei

My younger brother is an impulsive man-child. He says whatever it is that comes to his mind. Mm. Proud to know 'im.
Someday soon, I'm gonna end up punchin' him square in the face.
