I've always loved the game of stones, even from my childhood. As I began to come of age my studies involved a certain amount of education as to the movement of warrior upon the battlefield. This was only marginally less enjoyable than stones, but of course when the game is played the outcome is much, much more important.
It has been some time since my ability in this field has been tested with real lives, but thanks to the tutoring of Princess Reese Grayson I am confident that I will bring the same high competence to this battle that I have displayed in previous battles.
I pray only that against this new enemy, that it will be sufficient.

Spent most of my day in bed. Just sleeping. Catching up with a lot of sleep. Feels good, sometimes. Then I ate. And trained.

Everyone's writing about memories recently. What's the point? Looking backward will only make you miss what could have been. Times change. People change. The value of a memory changes. My most treasured, most valuable memories are of no worth at this point and are only a distraction, stopping my heart and slowing my thoughts. I look ahead, instead of backward, in hopes that I can see a clear path.
Memories are for drunks and romantics. I am glad to be neither.

Relationship Note on Demura
She's my wife, and she's very much as fierce as her reputation implies that she is. To be honest, I'm very much an admirer.

Why would you trust someone that says they like you, if they then threaten you when you are the only one trying to help?

Perhaps a glass or two of rum before the event would help settle your nerves?
In any case, I am sure the auction will turn out great.

A lot of people came to the event in the garden.
I'm glad they came.
And I think they enjoyed the tea!

I have no doubt, my darling friend, that this event will be not only one of great memory, but of great good. You will surely pull this off without looking like it was any trouble at all! Your grace and poise is enviable and I doubt this situation will be any different. I can't wait to see you and enjoy this lovely affair you and the others are holding!

Tonight's the night for the auction. It's a far more lavish thing than I ever anticipated it might be when Sameera Coldrain first approached me about it.
I'm afraid social gatherings are not my forte and neither, I imagine, is running such a thing.
This may prove an insurmountable challenge for me.

That's his choice. But thank you for the information. Does he have a preference on sacrifices? I don't anticipate being quit of the need to reach out in prayer.

I haven't been writing much lately. I haven't been sleeping much lately.
Some folk know why. I won't journal it because what's the point, there's so much crap it's too much to process.
All I know is I hate whom I hate and what they're doing to us. And they thrill in every single damn moment of it.

I am now quite curious about your painting! I must go to the Murder of Crows and see it. For... historical perspective. Of course.

Time is moving so quickly and there are so many things to do that I think sometimes I am so tired because my mind refuses to stop, even while sleeping. It is the not knowing that is making it worse. Of not knowing how much longer I have before our lives are completely turned upside down. I keep telling myself that it only means that I should make each moment more precious. Make each one count.
It is hard not to see each task that takes me away from my family as stealing that time from me. I have never been a jealous person, (Kael. Stop laughing.) but I find myself yearning for a long afternoon spent in the garden with my family. Watching Kata play in the dirt, seeing Aeryn making his attempts at his first steps while he coos and says 'Papapapapa' over and over. And Kael. That smile he gets when he watches Aeryn. That wonder and pride and love all mingled together.
I came home after the birth of Prince Samuel to find Kael stretched out on the cushions before the hearth, Aeryn laying on his stomach and Kata snuggled up against his side and I thought my heart would melt straight out of my chest. I will hold tight to that memory in the coming days. That sweetness will see me though many dark times ahead.

My latest painting is finished! It might be the most base thing I've painted, but I am very happy with it.
For those that read my journals: It is not dark, or disturbing, or even particularly meaningful. It is a celebration of the Champions, of dueling, and (most importantly) of the male form.
It's hanging at the Murder of Crows, in the front room. And it's for sale.
