Alright, I think this has run the course.
You may have heard a rumor I know the secret language of trees. You may have begun looking into this mystery.
They bark.
You can continue with more important things in your day.

On the list of a gagillion and one things I have left to do prior to setting sail for war:
1) Upgrade Armor
2) Upgrade Weaponshave.
3) Tasks, Tasks, and more Tasks to pay for it all.
I'm fairly certain that if I'm going to be in the thick of things out on the sea, that I'll need better quality armor than what I have, and I refuse to take the spare set my sister has if she might even have the smallest of needs for it. Besides which, I don't move around in steel as well as she does. I'm meant for leathers.
So, who is the best leather working armor maker out there? Suggestions welcome! I might even have someone bake cookies for you.

Book,
The banners have been called and our forces have responded, we are preparing for this battle, a fight that shall define us not just as a house, but as a united people of the Compact for some time to come. Let us look at this coming threat and let us remember that we stand united, not divided by our differences in thought, religion or culture, but one force setting aside the past and looking to secure a future!
We see the men and women ready at each of our sides, we know that they are our means of survival, we will fight and we will win, for if we do not history shall forget us and we will be devoured by time. But! We shall not fade into the darkness, we will not surrender and we will not retreat, our only path is forward, our only choice is victory!
I shall take this time and say that I am proud to have my men ready for battle, proud of my wife and her willingness to use her gifts and talents to defend the compact, proud of my friends who also prepare for the worst, and proud of my family who will lead this charge at sea!
We will strike fear into the hearts of the fearless and bring death upon the deathless, and hope to the Compact as a whole! If a Thraxian falls, ten of the enemy shall fall first! No mercy and no sanctuary should be given them, too much is at stake, more than even we fully understand.
Victory, will be ours!
Tears in our wake, never at our wake.

Relationship Note on Sorrel
Book,
It has been exciting and trying times, and I apologize I haven't written! There was a rush to marry Sorrel before we set off to battle and truly, I have spent all of the time permissible with her, I have longed to find a mate like her and blessed that our joining was so well received by both of our families. She truly completes every part of me and I cannot seem to remember how I managed without my Princess.
In her I find a strength I was unaware I had, and an even greater burning desire to destroy that which comes for us, though that is another entry.

Can time fluctuate? Is it normal that a week can feel longer than typical? I suppose it is.
At home, Reigna has found herself ill -- nothing serious, she has just succumbed to the same cold that she has nursed the children through -- but it is still a strain on her. I think she has been pushing herself too hard, lately. Therefore, I have insisted that she rest. I know that she is truly ill since she has agreed. The sleep and tea has been doing wonders for her and I am sure she will be back up in no time.
She is not the only one that is pushing, however. So many preparations to make, conversations to have, and plans to finalize. I see fatigue in those that I associate with and those that I am humbled to call friend. I see it in the lack of sleep in their eyes, the weary smiles that they manage to must forth, and the way that they march on despite it all.
Remember to breathe. Remember to ask for help if needed. We are here.

A little light in what seems to be a dark time for so many. There are some days that, no matter how dire things are, you somehow find yourself with a spark of happiness that it is just too hard to contain.
No matter how sad or hurtful the news, how painful the unkindness, how unhappy your heart has been, or how dark things may seem -- there is such a light in your heart that it washes over you and what once would have caused grave worry, upset or torn your heart in two does not. There is only hope, love and a powerful strength that cannot be denied.
Today is one of those days. It is a glorious thing to feel. I will have many more with those I care for. I am so grateful for this.
It's harder to face darkness without a light in your heart. I hope I can return this precious gift threefold to all, especially to those who have made mine blossom so.

When you wake up the next day smiling, understanding the truth of yourself and how it -only- matters to you, it's hard not to feel more settled in the world and your place in it, what's expected of you. You can't control others, only yourself, and understanding yourself better only empowers you more. I know what I am, who I am, and I know what I am capable of. I am also understanding the boundaries as well, and what I can accept without changing.
It's a road to walk and it is mine, it's a language I am reading and only I can write it. I know what I am, I know who I am. I make no apology, I can be no less.
That being said, I have blueberry pie stains on my work tunic. I may need to get another.

Relationship Note on Marian
I become more convinced as each day passes that as Nia and Ellara grow older, they will together become an unstoppable force of destr... good, in the world. As your Nia begins eyeballing daggers, Ellara is enamored of armor. Now that she is walking, she has taken to sneaking up to the table where Edain works and swiping his helmet so she can plop it on top of her head and start running around evading those who try to catch her before she hurts herself. I swear it covers at least half of her, but she is undeterred!
But it's also seriously adorable. She already shouts a garbled battlecry as soon as she gets it on and starts racing.

And now we begin the campaign in earnest. Plans, debates, the gathering of information, and the attention to detail. Perhaps the most difficult part, is to put aside pride so that we can come together as one, with a singular purpose to drive back the enemy. I know I struggle with my own, and seek guidance in being sure I advocate for what is best for the compact. May the Gods guide us in the days to come, and may we serve them well.

Nia is starting to crawl over to the furniture and pulling herself to her feet. The Gods help me but that girl will be walking...or even running soon. If she's anything like me, she's going to want to be as mobile as possible. Fergus would totally laugh because she is no longer interested in her sword rattle. She keeps eyeing the dagger in my trunk so I've had to taken to locking up the weapons at night because that little sprite can now climb out of her crib.

I have visited each shrine and prayed.
I have taken on latrine duty for the King's Own as an act of sacrifice.
I have helped and made a point to assist with religious events for the faithful.
I have volunteered to assist with bandages, help with preparing medical aid, and to work help prepare those who give their lives in healing.
I feel like I have yet to do enough and I want to do more.
I love the King, the King's Own, and the Compact with all of my being. I am honored to be a knight and to be providing the King's Succor to those less fortunate. I would happily lay my life on the line for my fellow knights but also for the small folk who are the unfortunate victims in what is to come.
I pray to the Gods for them, for my brothers and sisters of the King's Own, and for the Compact.
I pray I can do enough.

Happiness ought to be felt and shared; it's not meant to be hidden away. It's meant to be offered out; not to be felt alone. When it's shared, a smile among friends - - a shared look among intimates -- that's when the greatest joy can be measured.

Prince Edain and I have finally chosen names one way or the other, my will is up to date. Gods willing I see my way through child birth and the battles to come.
