Scholar, I have set foot again in the capital city of Arx. I can only wonder at what grand adventures and experiences await.

Another trip to the capital has already yielded two trips to two different galleries. The works there are nothing short of evocative, of brilliance. So, too, were some of the other patrons that happened to visit. My oils should be arriving soon and I look forward to putting my brush to canvas in hopes of riding this latest burst of inspiration. The anticipation of doing so rivals the bliss from completion. Now all that remains is prepare the studio once more.

I find myself drawing further into my art, The sculpture for Sina Plaza has taken up much of my time lately. It is to be a two part affair, a fountain with a sculpture.
I just hope that attempts to get the favored flower go well.

I made a piece for the charity event for the healers of the Arvum. Healers Lament I called it, and though I have never been in a healers tent near the field of battle I do think I captured the essence of such a place and the weight of the work nicely.
I was honored to find out that it gained third place for their contest, And even more so that Lord Orland found it to his liking and decided it should decorate a space within his home.. Or at least somewhere. Who knows where it may end up.

Soon I shall leave for Tor, I have everything packed. From charcoals and fresh cut quills and new inks to new brushes and canvases. And yes of course dear scholar books with pages still blank waiting to tell the story of the trip and what adventures await..
I am anxious and nervous, I must admit. I wonder if this is how all feel before an adventure, I wish I knew.. Or is this just my nerves and mind getting the better of me.
Tea, yes I need tea that will steady the nerves.

Relationship Note on Denica
While some may think it odd, I can't help but feel comforted by the Devil's company. The irony of it not lost on either of us I don't think.. The lamb and devil joining forces. One the Protégé and the other the Patron.. But we shall learn much from one another I can't help but believe.
If nothing else it will be an educational experience.

Scholar,
My thank you gift took time and I believe was thoughtful and memorable. And as it was well received the reward from it great.
Today is a good day. Now who to thank next..

Scholar,
I am thankful that the worst I feared and the restless night I expected did not come to pass.
I am ever grateful to the sweet dreams that I was given instead in such dark times as these.
Though, with that sleep and reflection in my dreams now there are even more questions.
Ones that can't be found in books or scrolls or old journals in the archives.
Ones that require me to leave the comfort that I have come to rely on and the protective
walls formed by the stacks. That seem to keep much of the world and the dangers of
social maneuvering at bay.
And as such I have found myself expanding my horizons, reaching out to those I never
dared dream that I would reach out to or contact.

Scholar,
I have solved the mystery at least the first part of it.
The Author has been found. Now to ask my questions.
Give me your guidance scholar to find the truth and
get the answers to questions that have plagued me
since I picked up that first book...

Dear Scholar,
I went today to meet with another who has a love for books that rivals my own. In the course of my journey I encountered their brother.
Today.. I survived a northern death hug. Praised be the gods.
Tomorrow... I wonder what awaits me.

Scholar,
I have run across a series of books involving a Baron and baked goods, A trip into the fiction section leading me
to believe that either the writer is a gourmand of the highest order or was not talking about baked goods at all.

Arriving to Arx by sea was not without its difficulties and as one might expect when facing off with a harbor-blocking pool of swirly-whirliness, most of my belongings and I ended up temporarily separated.
That's why, especially after that rioting and thievery, I was so surprised to be reunited with one of the special heirloom trinkets left to me from my grandmother's estate. It's a comfort to have something from home with everything else so uncertain.

I've only been in Arx for a few days, but I can already see why perhaps I wasn't allowed to visit previously. For starters, a great big whirlpool blocked any entry by ship. Even getting to the city gates was an adventure I'd prefer never to repeat! We had to set down on small rowboats and paddle to a more remote shoreline. I'm not entirely sure that all of my belongings made it after me. The contents of my trunks were mostly books and those tend to get weighty.
My arrival must have coincided with the finale of a celebration judging by the state of our Sword, a cousin of some distant variety that I found teetering his way down the hall. He wasn't the only one, either! Our Voices, note: neither of them drunk, directed me to the estate's library. I'm keen on making it my haunt for the next few days. Gosh, I hope they all had a fun time at that party.
