The first week...
     I have been in the city or Arx for only a few days and have become aware of far more things then I could have ever if I had stayed in my homeland. To meeting the freckled faced guardsman in silvered armor named Reese. To finding the grove of Arx dead and lifeless a story I've yet to hear and so badly desire to. But I feel that it is only a beginning, a new branch of the path that I am on that has brought me here to this place at this time to make a difference in Arx and for those that live there, including myself now.
     And then there was the last day, perhaps the most busy and wonderfully enthralling days I have ever had in my life. From my accepting the position in the Iron Guard as their bowman and resident shaman to meeting the most intriguing woman I have yet to ever lay eyes on, or enjoy making blush so much and so easily. Between that I met the mouse and hope to teach her more about the ways of old, to show her that inside she has a power she has yet to find. I also met Princess Brianna and Valencia who strike me as some of the most imposing Redrain women I have ever had the chance to meet. And the two brothers of Redrain, Mydas and Sigurd who have given me liquor and a challenge as well to find out how I might acquire more of their families fine liquor.
     The Iron Guard, a good group of people who I hope to meet more of during a training session set for the morrows eve. I hope I do not disappoint as my martial skills are something I need to work upon, but that shouldn't be as hard now that I have joined their ranks and with the help of other Redrain members too. Reese, the adorable silvered-armor Guardsmen, Sparte, the comical brave with inspiration, Silas, the ignoble leader. I'll add many more names to this list once I have met them and fought beside them to better the city and protect it. I will also ever be in Julea's debt, the marvel she has done with putting a new bite and sharpness into my Wings of Drac axes is simply a marvel and did not charge me a single silver piece.
     Yet it all pales to that which I spoke of, a wild wind that came and spoke more to me than of bravery, honor or hope. I spoke of Drac and on one hand I can count as many people I have told about my spirit that guides me and how he came to be. It is my strength, my weakness, my friend when I had no others, for truth it is myself that is Drac and Drac is myself. The woman with whom the spirits resound so strongly, Neve, like the winds blowing down from the north mountains the feeling of her scent prickled at my nose. Her words, the coloring of her cheeks when I would speak to her. The way she stumbled with words when I would make her laugh and lose her senses. I would listen far more, speak to her more, see more of her and how her flesh reddens when I look upon her and into her smiling face, dimpling cheeks and her blue eyes that know no depth that I could drown in them and be happy to have died thus. I will seek her out and her father the Bear of Greenmarch, Lord Muir and test myself against his resolve. One hopes I survive to write again.
Lord Calathane Drumenach,
Baron's son of Hargthon Drumenach and of Redrain.

Aren't you supposed to get better at things with practice? Shouldn't I be getting better at drinking?
Future generations of Grayhopes are going to research these journals and wonder that I had nothing more to say about these times than how drunk I was last night.
I will say this:
I had never before considered the Sentinel's perspective on picking your nose.

As eventful as previous weeks have been, this one has proven to be fairly uneventful. The Commoners Assembly was a good experience to have, though it did run on a bit long. Hopefully folks realize the Knights of Solace are doing everything they can to help. Here's hoping for another uneventful week.

When next we meet it will be on the field of battle and thereafter, to death or glory.

Relationship Note on Hana
It sounds funny to me still, the way people cover themselves in symbols and go around calling themselves things they aren't. She said -- hmm, I don't remember what her first suggestion was, but let's pretend it's The Hammer, because she's going to make me a giant axe hammer maul thing. And she said it would sound so cool if everyone ran around like 'Wow, did you see how hard The Hammer hit?'
But I'd rather that when people talk about me, they talk about /me/. I have a name. Just one name, which not as much of a name of a lot of people in the city, but it's my name. And Hana's agreed to make me a weapon that honors that.
Also she's a lot of fun to go take wave stomping.

Relationship Note on Ianthe
Because you are coming back, I know it. You were a tremendous friend even in the short time I knew you, and everything I see reflected in the faces of those who were lucky enough to know you longer just makes me wish I'd heard more of this from you. I'll keep them safe, though, until you're back. I'll keep everything of yours safe, because it's the only thing I know how to do.

"And for fun, there will be a Silas + Serafine versus the rest of the Guard handicap match."
Abyss-YES.

Though, I may mostly be excited because the remedy given to my ailment is something I’ve much interest in. I am Prince Valerius Thrax, and I am unstoppable, whether I like it or not.

He wanted me in Fireweave. I want him masked and silent, by my side, so he can not escape the inexplicable truths of the Faith he reviled.

I find myself yet wondering how must we look from the other side of the mirror.
