Last night I attempted to climb a mountain.

With no shoes.

There was blood.

I am not sure if drinking with Northerners is a terrible idea or my best one yet.

I went to the agricultural college thinking that I would be assisting in some mild scouting. an adventure of sorts. I did not expect to be fighting in such conditions.

It is the first time I've seen death do close. There was so much blood. I can still smell it. I see it when I close my eyes.

Apparently with enough whiskey this will pass.

Do you ever have moments in life where everything just stops and comes into clear clarity? That the breath is knocked from your lungs and you just know that this is what you want, with every fiber and being for the rest of your life?

I had one of those tonight. Now to learn how to make it mine.

Also, I can't believe you ratted me out Lord Crovane, luckily I enjoyed the poetry. Especially the love poem by the man before yours. To love someone with all your soul is truly a gift from the gods.

Relationship Note on Rysen

I have been fortunate to find a friend in Lord Rysen Crovane. He has opened up my mind to so many things. So many thoughts.

Our walks and talks are truly the highlight of my day.

Relationship Note on Fairen

My Fairen is home!

The day started dreadfully. But then he came home and is not even all that angry at me.

Though, if he finds Carrots in the library we may be eating him for dinner.

Eating my bunny would be way worse than the stupid extra guards.

Relationship Note on Iliana

My adventuring days are over!

Why don't you just chain me to a desk?

I hate everything about all of this.

A whole new world of adventures await and I can't wait to get started.

Relationship Note on Kaia

This morn Lady Kaia indulged my need for an archery competition.

Thank you for the fun. I needed it more than words can express.

I look forward to our next challenge to be named among the best archers in the compact.

What an interesting life this man leads. And his taste in liquor is superb.

I have procured the apples. I promise I won't have even a sip of wine before our experiment. Name the time and date my friend.

What's that old saying? Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

I guess one should be well aware who is a friend first.

Funny how someone can come back into your life and mess with your equilibrium.

Oh to be old and wise and not worry anymore about cruel hearts.

Relationship Note on Martino

You are old. Ancient. I am sure I saw some chest wrinkles and grey hairs when you exited the pool.

Just because you're old doesn't make you wise.

Relationship Note on Willow

I woke up and my head aches, my limbs heavy and throat dry. I'm not sure what parts of today were dreams and reality.

I think that is a clear indicator that Lady Willow Nightgold holds the best parties.

It is so good to be back in Arx!

So far I've met handsome men who play with warships, some people who speak in magically musical voices, giant dogs, sellswords and adventurers to boot!

It won't be long until Fairen and my family realizes I've been ditching my guards and exploring. Better enjoy it while it lasts.

It is completely unfair.

The entire world, I mean! When I first moved to Arx I thought I would be able to do every single thing that I ever wanted to do, no matter what it was. No matter how dangerous or impossible. I thought moving out was freedom! But still people try to stop me. Still people say I have to /decide/ and /choose/ and /think before I act/. I'd like to be a hunter, and a spy, and a dancer, and an evil wizard, and a bird if that's possible. I'd like to ride horses and fight monsters and crash ships into rocks and be a great hero like Aislin. And I'd like to be and do all of those things right now. All at once.

But I can't.

Because he won't let me. Because reality won't let me. Because there are 'consequences'. Because I'm just one person with one body and only so much time.

In my stories, when the heroes leave their hometown, the whole world unfolds for them. Their adventures begin! The impossible becomes possible, and even with... With whatever it is that is happening to the world. Even with that, I don't have my adventure. Maybe I can't live in my storybooks after all.

Or maybe I have to pick just one...
