My hands are far from perfectly clean when it comes to warfare.
I have killed more bringers than I can count, but I have also killed more Shavs than I can count and I am not proud of that.
All the Shavs that I have killed have been adults part of the attacking army, armed and engaging in combat.
In order to help spare those who can be spared, I target bringers first and if the Shavs stop attacking after the Bringers are dead, I let them go.
That being said my hands are stained. I expressed before that I was turning myself over to the faith regarding the attack on the pirate ship.
I journaled about this in great detail and I will not go back into such again, but one can read my old journals if desired.
Dominus Aldwin is a busy man, but finally we had a chance to speak. I am grateful he was able to make the time for me and the burdens of my soul.
The Dominus asked if I acted to the best of my ability and I said that I did not. Yes the pirates were armed and fighting back, but I could have given them a much greater chance for surrender and I did not. I expressed my regret as such is not the way of Gloria and the Sentinel.
The Doninus gave me a penance to serve. I am very grateful for such. I may not fully cleanse my hands, but it allows me hope for healing. The lingering stain will be a reminder. I will be serving my penance with Sir Armel of the Knights of the Solace and/or Sir Preston of the Templars by serving them for a time.
I have struggled greatly with the actions of Prince Abbas. I believe that his actions are offensive to the Gods. I urge him to speak with the Dominus as I did. I urge this for the sake of his soul and for the sake of those who have and may yet suffer under his cruelty.
My heart hurts for those who followed him into slaughter and yet ignorance is not an excuse, just as my ignorance when I followed was not an excuse.
Let self-reflection, self-awareness and the guidance of the faith and the gods keep us from being the monsters who we fight.

The Princess Peregrine seems to like the piano quite a bit. She also seems to like feathers. Shadow calls her the Falcon Princess. He thinks Lark is the queen of birds though. Maybe she is. There is Peregrine of the Golden Feathers. There is the owl. There is our falcons. There is Lady Aislin, There is Prince Aiden. There is all our bird perches. There is my Justice. So maybe.
Shadow was quite hurt when he came to me, but Princess Ailys patched him up good. He likes the garden, he likes the Nightgold whiskey and he likes the cake. I gave him lots of tea. It will help. Maybe he will be back. I can't blame him.
Sir Silas made the cake. He made our war table for Grayson house (and what a table it is), he made the piano, he made our teas and so much more.
The Graysons are strong. We are united. Our meeting went well.

I fought along side Zhayla, Barric and the Grayson troops.
The servant of death saved Prince Barric and Prince Darren.
Maybe he saved us all. It is scary, but right now we have to take all the allies we can get.
So thank out Death's blade, for saving our butts and fighting bringers with us.

Relationship Note on Luca
The rumors are true.
Prince Luca and myself are in conversations about marriage.
It is also true that I proposed via messenger and rather impulsively at that.
That being said negotiations between our houses have started
but they have not finished so it is not a sure thing.

I had wrote a journal entry about this before, but I lost it!
I have been collecting books both from Mistress Gisele's and Brother's Branan's shop.
The lastest book in Gisele's shop is very interesting! I wonder what Inquisitor Alistair thinks of it?
I think the next book of her's I will get is her guided to beasts. I can look at pictures of griffons.

I have been quiet on the journals lately.
It is because I have had no words, but now they come.
Ainsley has returned to us and that gives me joy.
The Lady Tikva, a wash with life and hope, is good company for him.
Prince Edain is suffering greatly at the lose of his troops, how can he not be?
I did well on the siege gate battle and yet well is not good enough.
We are besieged and so many perished.
But there is hope and Ainsley is back, so there is most certainly hope.
Prince Edain thanked me for saving Prince Tristram.
I am am sure the Valardin would have dome the same for me.
They are very brave. Princess Deva is amazing, that shot.
I was part of the group that rescued Duchess Bella.
I fought besides Tobias. I was honored too. We killed many bringers.
But there are more. So many more.
Prince Luca, Sparte, Leta, Lady Eirene, Lord Artorius provided a distraction to help get supplies into the city.
It went well. We killed many bringers. Sparte saved Prince Luca. He is quite the warrior, Sparte.

The Battle of Gray River
Lady Commander Calypso lead Compact in an attack against the Bringer of Silence Army marching upon Arx. Count Frederik Steelhart found a place at Sorrow’s Point where the archers could reach high ground and rain arrows on the army from above.
The weather was cold and there was a mist that veiled one’s vision. Upon their high ground and into the mists the archers fired as Inquisitor Alistair beseeched the gods with his prayers. Others prayed, speeches were given and Prince Talon spoke of moon pale skin. “Mercy is no virtue. Daring is never a vice” Count Darkwater called from his Black Mountain Ships. “Their End. Our beginning.” Lady Eirene exclaimed. Captain Audric was thinking of tits. The Redrain and Greenmarcher archers lead by Princess Deva and Lord Fiachra with Lord Esteban at their side fired taking down many a shav.
Lord Inigo destroyed a full plated bringer, tearing his arm off with a single blow of his diamond plate blade. Lenosian’s warriors fell behind, but Lady Calypso helped to rally them. Lord Artorius took off a bringer’s leg with with one powerful hit. Lord Harald’s firm and grim courage urged on him men. Lord Valdemar while leading his forces was hit on the back, but rescued by the Grimhall lord. The Duke of Tyde killed shav after shav with his heirloom blade. Southport forces held the center as Calypso gave her orders. Baroness Kima fought shavs, keeping them away from the Commander as Lady Caelis and her marines fell in to give support. Audric with Leta at right held the lines of Shav back. Princess Alis lead a sudden push that drove back the shav lines even as some of the compact warriors were trapped, pressed in by a large pack. I took a blow to my head, but was saved by the actions of my cousin Prince Barric and by Mistress Zhayla.
Lady Eirene cared for the injured along with Princess Isolde, Mistress Mirari and Master Harmon. Princess Alis rallied the Oathland lines, but took a nasty wound to her side. Sir Ansel came to princess' rescue, at Valardin's side in battle as he always is. Duke Valkieri at the head of the Rubino forces lead a crushing flank attack upon the shavs. Prince Talen was injured in the battle, but Prince Luca and Lord Ingio cut down the Shavs upon him. As Lady Calypso’s forces buckled, Costas came into the rescue. Count Frederik rallied, keeping the lines from breaking. Lord Gregor commanded the Steethart forces. Then I killed an armored bringer with one blow, bringing the Grayson warriors to cheer.
Then through he mists, a monstrous beast towering over thirty feet emerged. His giant form was rotting, human flesh hung form his maw, his leathers were made of human skin and in his arms was massive war maul. His roar shook the very ground.
“A foe of Legend, at last” Lord Harold said. “You will fight, and together, we will bleed and we will die!” Dagon cried before he hit the beast. The warriors of compact attacked and many of us wounded the beast myself included. Mistress Zhayla gave the last blow with her impressive trident. The creature toppled over and disintegrated, leaving behind his giant skull. The Shavs screamed and started to flee.
“Stand Down.” Duke Dagon cried. “I can’t believe that just fucking happened” Lord Karadoc exclaimed, his blade dripping with giant’s blood. “Hold, Hold.” The commanders called and the Shavs were allowed to flee.
But the battle was from over for the Compact healers. They are always the last to leave.

I went on a mission with Prince Luca, Lord Michael, Lord Killian, Mistress Zhayla and myself.
We came across several children one with a broken arm who were trying to flee from a bringer and several abandoned.
The abandoned had blank stares and seemed possibly mind controlled.
We got the children into as safe a situation as we could, considering there was a bringer heading our way.
Lord Killian guarded the children, fighting the shavs who tried to hurt them and keeping them safe. He sought the intention of not killing the shavs, but with interest in defense when possible.
Mistress Zhayla, Lord Michael, Prince Luca and myself fougth the bringer. It was a very large bringer and it took us all to bring the creature down.
Zhayla and myself were hit in the battle. I cracked a few ribs, but should be okay and I was seen by Lady Eirene.
I almost got hit a second time and not a glancing blow, but would have been a very directed and brutal hit, only Prince Luca grabbed me and spun me out of the way. I probably am still alive right now for that very reason.
Once the bringer was dead the Shavs stopped fighting us, but their eyes still seemed a bit too vacant. We let them escape into the forest. Was that the right choice? i do not know. Killing mortal men under mind control seemed wrong and yet if they return to hurt compact once more maybe than maybe it would have been wrong not to kill them. They vanished into the Gray Forest to live another day. I hope I made the right call.

Relationship Note on Ainsley
I visited Prince Ainsley. His room is a few doors from mine, but he hasn't been leaving it very often if at all and so I went to his room.
He is in deep mourning for the loss of his beloved and for what his loved has suffered though.
I will not go into the details of what happened in the journals, because one day Ainsley will recover enough to read journals again and it might pain him.
But he is loved, by all his Grayson family and Alejandro and all his many friends and by the Iron Guard. We all are praying to the gods that he will pull through and be with us again.

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.

I journeyed into the gray forest with Lord Michael, Princess Ailys, Lady Jael and Sir Owain
We were in search of the remains of Lady Sarielle and Lady Lili.
My intention in joining on this mission was to make sure that Lord Michael and my cousin made it back alive.
But it was me who needed rescuing. Lord Michael choose bringing me back alive over getting his revenge.
The words of Lady Jael and Princess Ailys kept breath in my body.
The mission was a troubling one and we did not fully accomplish what was desired and what was so important.
I feel little peace at this moment and find myself haunted by this mission.
And yet I am grateful to be alive and I am grateful that my life was chosen.
I wish we could have done more.

I joined the hunt that Duke Cristoph was holding.
I thought that Alejandra could use getting out into the woods.
It did seem to help cheer her up and she took down a deer.
I have short swords, so I wasn't going to join the hunt.
I really came for Alejandra.
I joined the fight later when we ran across a bear.
I didn't want to kill a bear, it doesn't feel natural or right to kill a normal bear.
Duke Cristoph pointed out that the bear will be just be killed when the bringer army comes anyways.
He is right, but that is a troubling thought, very troubling.
We saw the bear was mauling the woman, there was no choice.
I drew Devotion and draining the life from the bear.
I am not proud of such.
I hope the woman is doing well.

I have every intention of keeping Lord Michael safe on our mission. I fear Iona's wrath if anything happens to her beloved son, far more than I fear the bringers. If the Bringers take me, I am gone. If I allow the Bringers to harm Lord Michael, then I crushed the hearts of his mother and his sisters the Lady Lailah and Marquesa Samantha. That is something that I cannot and will not allow to happen.

Relationship Note on Ainsley
I am hound sitting for Alejandra. It is just hound sitting. It is not adoption. I love Alejandra, but adoption won't be needed. He will return to us.

Relationship Note on Tristram
Prince Tristram and myself have been good friends. I hope that we are able to remain such. He is blessed by Gloria. I have respect for him. It breaks my heart to see him in discord with my family. Even before this challenge, I was not ready for marriage. After this challenge, it is out of the question. I have deep sorrow over how this went. I hold some guilt and bare much blame in this situation. Prince Tristram asked me to marry him and I told what amounted to, I am not ready for marriage now. That left room for hope and that hope lead him astray. It was hope that I gave him and I am sorry.

Relationship Note on Ainsley
I love my cousin Ainsley deeply.
I believe that he will and should get married. I would like to see his wife join house Grayson, because I couldn’t bare the loss of him. He will make a wonderful husband and have fine children. His ability to love both sexes in no way will hinder his ability to have a family and to love a wife.
He is also a fine warrior.

Sometimes the right words are hard for me to find.
That seems to be the case more and more often.
I charged a group of archers and didn't become a pin cushion.
Maybe Gloria was with me in that moment.
Sir Serafine was with me and at my side.
She likes to be called that better than princess.
I think Duke Dagon got hurt, but I think he will be alright.
Prince Tristram seems to have broke his arm.
That has to hurt, but he will heal and fight again.
But we couldn't save them all.
Some of our men perished that night
And some of the refugees we went out to save perished.
And we saved many, yet my heart is heavy with those we did not.
Like Sarah who wanted to grow up to have gold roses on her shirt.

When Caltrops where scattered over the dance floor at the Gala, I crouched to pick them up. I didn't want anyone to get hurt after all.
Of course having the caltrops in hand, sort of made me look gather guilty of spreading them and brought Inquisitor Alistair's attention upon me for a moment. I wouldn't do that someone could get very hurt on the dance floor! That is why I gathered in the first place so that nobody would have bleeding feet.
Luckily, ArchDuke Niccolo caught Princess Deva, keeping her from falling and getting too hurt upon one.
Princess Nimble was able to dart about the Caltrops without stepping on them. He lifted up Princess, Eleyna, keeping her safe as well. Lyceum parties are dangerous!
