Interesting woman. Does not entirely act as expected of a noblewoman. She is nice. Weird. Willing to do hard work. Even weirder. Don't dislike her.

I miss his smiles.
And his songs when he was drunk.
His sadness is so painful...

The habit of mainlanders to sympathize so fully with criminals, at the expense of honest men is a thing I do not understand. That nobles will agonize over the deaths of those who sought to kill them; that treachery is rewarded with protection; that souls are searched and hands wrung for the sake of those who made a choice to embrace wickedness seems madness.
I give more respect to the choices men make. When one chooses to break the law, one reaps the consequences of that choice. If one chooses to commit treason, one is a traitor. If a commoner threatens a noble, they are in defiance of the natural order, and deserve punishment.
That any noble could think otherwise confounds me.

Relationship Note on Arcelia
Why dear sister why must you push me to the point of no return? Is it that you just enjoy seeing me a mess? Why?
I would do anything for you and I would give my own life to keep you safe, I wish you understood I wish.....
You do what you need to do and you make the family proud but you must understand I made a promise and I will keep it dear sister.
And I will never stop thinking no one is good enough for you.
I just don't know what else to do or say to you to show you this.......
Arcelia.....
Sighs......

What is there to say? As kids we grew up together always finding a way to escape and see the water its been my passion my love to be on a boat the wind in my hair. I left when I was but a young teenager only returning when I needed missing my dear friend. Now, now I have come to the city to aid our families and here we are seeing each other once again just in a different way, through different eyes.
We are different yet very much the same I hope things find a way to work out cause I do not know if I wish to be on the sea or away with out being able to see you again.

Unequivocal, nigh-childlike goodness is a rare and refreshing commodity beneficial to all. A sad thing that it cannot persist forever under the thumb of its antithesis. Eventually, without encouragement, it will begin to turn.

At least one of us is a truly good and noble person befitting their title.
I clearly should try to be more like her if I want to redeem myself.

Relationship Note on Orathy
Biggest, brassiest balls. Ever.
How they didn't sink him to the bottom of the ocean with their prodigious weight I'll never know.
I only regret I can't buy him a drink and ask how he did it, since he'd probably try to stab me and I've had enough of being raked over the coals for killing in self defense.

It is about time I comment upon the situation with Orathy Culler, Prince Luca, The Thrax and myself
Prince Eric was leading a mission against known enemies of the Thrax and of compact. They were also smuggling Dust into the city. He took Prince Luca, Orathy and myself along Thrax nobles and commoners. While out at sea, Master Orathy cut the ropes of our ship, endangering all our lives in the process as to be out at sea while on a vessel with cut ropes is a very dangerous thing, especially with an enemy ship nearby. It seems possible that he was in league with the smugglers. The Thrax were understandably quite upset and as is their nature to be warriors who are far from soft, they were interested in killing him on the spot. Orathy jumped overboard and escaped. How he made it to shore is a mystery.
Not wanting him killed if at all possible, I expressed that I would arrest him if given the chance. The Thrax expressed that Master Culler would be lucky if I got to him first. They announced they were putting a bounty on his head. While I realized Mr. Culler did a bad thing, I wanted his life spared if all possible and set upon a course of keeping him alive.
We reached the ship which was populated by men who were armed, armored, fighting us and trying to smuggle dust into compact. They did not surrender. I followed Prince Luca and Prince Eric into that attack. Should I have? That is a question I cannot answer and one that haunts me. The killing of mortal men and woman gives me zero pleasure and great distress. Prince Eric assures me his intention was to protect Compact and those men were our enemies and I believe him. Still if I could do that all over again, I would have made a greater attempt to reduce the blood shed. I have already contacted Dominus Aldwin in regards to my intention of confessing and submitting myself to the faith regarding this matter. Soldiers kill in war and not everyone we kill is bad. Sometimes they are simply a threat to our own lands and families as these men were. But warriors of the faith should make every effort to save human life whenever possible and I did not make a great enough effort. It gives me great shame. It is not a mistake I intend to ever make again.
Later I called for the arrest of Orathy Culler in order to keep him from being killed by the Thrax. This is something that both Orathy Culler and his family were made aware of. They were told quite clearly it was for Orathy’s protection. The Duchess Belladonna stepped in, putting him under her protection and his life was successfully spared. Should I have taken that action? I do not know, but it was my attempt to reduce the blood shed and to take the punishment for Orathy’s actions upon myself. I figured as a Grayson princess, I could handle it. What is a few duels? Nothing I fear. But he could have been killed as a commoner of the lower boroughs. I had no affection for Orathy and bond with him, but I saw him as a man loved by the gods and not ready for his death.
The Thrax have not challenged me. Maybe they will now. I owe them a great apology for meddling here. I hope that will be able to see it was a love of life and not a dislike of that Thrax that spurred me to action. Prince Eric has expressed his forgiveness toward me and so has Count Max. If this entry changes such, I will not blame them and I will do my absolute best to make things right.
As many are aware Orathy Culler as been launching attacks me. I do not hold the Duchess accountable as I realize that she took Orathy in simply to protect him and was not aware of the attack and did condone such. Despite the insults being made against me, I will not hurt Orathy Culler. I will only fight him in self defense. I will not spar him. I will not challenge a commoner to a duel. I, in good faith, cannot challenge the Duchess Belladonna to a duel as her heart was in the right place. I still see Orathy Culler as a man loved by the gods and not ready for death. I still hold hope for him. I hope that he can hold such hope for me and cease his attacks.
I admit, that I do have some fear that a dishonorable sort of revenge will be taken upon my person by Orathy Culler. I would rather die with a knife in my back than to life without honor and so he remains safe from me with hope ahead of him.

~Two shapes fill the bulk of the page. They are made with stylized lines akin to some runes, worked into the likeness of the heads of a doe and a wolf. Beneath the drawing, separate from the entry, are the words 'We might die if we fight. We will die if we don't.'~
It is difficult to let something held cherished go to a likely end. It is harder still to participate. There is no picking and choosing in service though; the high notes or the shit, they both must be taken up with the same dedication.

Dear Me,
I may have met a demigod. I feel as though I should have come away from the experience with more wisdom than I did.
Also, the world is going to hell in a shavbasket.
Unrelated.

Alllll the pie.

I have spent some time at Coldrain Crafts recently to acquire two thank you presents for people whom I owed gratitude. I must say that Mistress Sameera makes some fantastic wares. And while my remarks about her work seem to make her uncomfortable, their quality is undeniable.
If I should find myself in need of jewelry into the future, I will certainly consider commissioning her to make it.

Perhaps the world is nothing more than reflections of self, that self is the only thing that truly exists. Gods, people, creatures, the sun and moon, stars above, the ground on the feet. Can you prove that once you are gone, that the world continues on? Or does the mirror of reality crack on death, and truth finally obtained? Mirrors, the doorways to eternity.
