[Joma, 34th of The Amber Coldd, 1316] So much has happened since I made the first volume...Let me get to the more important stuff. One, Latsi turned Undead. If I never explained this, Latsi was Undead in the place. Then, Bell (who is now dead) slayed him, 'turning him good'. Then, one time, Latsi asked me to meet him at Dawn's. He was a good friend so, suspecting nothing, I went to Dawn's and met him. 'Twas not a very good decision. He asked me to follow him, but was very vague when I asked where we were going. So, I followed him. Well, we passed by a 'murder scene'. Boney was in a locked house and being tortured. A man named Jack was slitting almost every part of his body. Except the throat. A dwarf by the name of Botar was freaking out and screaming violent threats to Jack. Latsi, only being a few yards away, was shouting at me to follow him. Afterwards, when everything had settled down, I confronted Latsi about what had just happened. He was complaining about my lack of following him. I protested that Boney was dying, and Latsi said something he normally would NEVER say. He said, "Let him die!" After days of thinking, I came to a conclusion that he must be Undead. The next time I saw him, my thoughts had been confirmed. He was trying to make John, the Druid, Undead. So, since he's my friend and I was NOT about to see him Undead, I yanked him away from Latsi. Latsi then turned his attention to me, after John had to leave. He tried a lot of different things, but my guard was up the whole time. I do not think Latsi will ever be able to bother me now, considering what a sage told me as I was talking to Shuness. His name was Arcadius. At first, when he had gone away after glancing at me sadly, I was confused. Now, I have realized that Arcadius was actually Latsi's mentor, I suppose is how you'd say it. The strange thing is that Latsi wants me to understand Undead, and I DO. I understand them well, but I absolutely do NOT approve of their 'reasons' to go off and join the Undead. The thing is, I do not know if I'm really on any side. I know we're weaker than the Undead. 'Tis all because the army leaders are usually just trying to gather up for the Undead to attack again, and when the armies DO try to do something, it's rash and violent, and doesn't work. I just wish some people had the patince that the Sphinx has....If he led the Undead, we would all be dead. Not joking. Now that you're caught up with that, there's more. About an dark elf named Thork. He says he loves me. He tried to kill me twice, tried to start a fight with my friend, threatened to kill that same friend, and now says he was possessed through all of it. I think love is a ridiculous thing, to be honest. Now, onto the present day. I am sitting on a specific tree that I like to get on to think. [Irba, 25th of Malins Welcome, 1316] I think I'll go get some sugarcanes. I need more books. [Sabet, 35th of Malins Welcome, 1316] I'm here at Dawn's Bakery in Al'Khazar with my sister. I was enjoying Dawn's, until Thork came...Pyper had to leave, so now Thork sits opposite of me as I write this. 'Tis very annoying...I suppose I'll have to just ignore him for now. I unparalyzed Thork, and I am not sure I should have. We'll just have to see what happens. [Kamees, 26th of The Second Seed, 1317] 'Tis a troubling time right now...I've developed a a studder, yet I've no idea how I did so...I just remember Thork...And Verrenn... [Itnan, 30th of The Second Seed, 1317] Hmm, I was almost killed by Thork today. erm..I guess it was actually Ragnor who tried. Thork managed to control Ragnor for a bit. My leg's wounded which is quite a bit of a problem. Trying to decide if I should let Thork out of paralyzation 'Tis quite a ahrd decision. He's pretty much begging. So far Thork has not tried to kill me again. This is the what... Third time he's done it? And it's all because I am foolish enough to follow him. Well, actually, he grabbed me, but, yeah he grabbed me. 'Tis not my foolishness....Or it is because I actually meet him someplace Bah, I do not know. [Irba, 32nd of The Second Seed, 1317] I am up north, trying to find a new place to explore... So far, I've found nothing... Wow, I've found a little cobblestone road with a few houses by it. I think I'll follow the road and see where it leads... ....I've found 'King Edmund's bridge.....'Tis a long one to walk. I suppose I shall go back to Laurelin now. [Ahad, 8th of The Grand Harvest, 1317] I am here with Lothiriel at Dawn's Bakery in Laurelin. She says she has to kill Thork..... [Joma, 34th of The Amber Cold, 1317] Thork has tried to kill me for the FOURTH TIME. Lothiriel will not be happy...Especially because she told me not to go near Thork... Alright, now for details. Verrenn told me he needed help because of Thork. So, I went to the beach by the keep. That's where he told me to go. So, when I got there, Thork was dragging Verrenn away from me. Well, technically 'twas Ragnor, but whatever. So, Ragnor attempted to drown him, while I was being nice to him to infuriate him. Eventually I got Verrenn out of the water, and dragged him to a safe spot. However, Ragnor managed to get a knife stuck in him. Ragnor tried to throw a knife into my chest, but I managed to dodge, then catch it. That made it the fourth time he tried to kill me. Thork now claims Ragnor isn't in him any more. 'Tis also what he claimed last time before trying to kill me. I'll have to look into this.... Oh, and who knew that a female, like myself, can attract so much attention when there are so many men drunk? I sure didn't. Well, live and learn not to go into Dawn's to write after some one shouts 'GO TO DAWN'S' or something like that.....*sighs* I am now back in Dawn's after all the drunkards have left...I am trying to figure out if I should trust what Thork says.... [Ahad, 8th of The Deep Cold, 1317] Thork, Verrenn, and some orc have gone off on a 'quest'. I worry for Verrenn, because who knows what Thork may do to him? [Sabet, 14th of The Deep Cold, 1317] Bloody Cassandra shoutin, "Anyone wanting to come build in my new town, run for the north gate while hopping!" Grr.....She needs to just, poof..... Alright, I am in Dawn's in Al'Khazar. I'm waiting for Lothiriel...Sort of worried to tell her about what happened with Thork...She will be absolutely infuriated when she finds out that Thork got away as well..... [Ahad, 15th of The Deep Cold, 1317] I am in Dawn's, talking to Lynx.....Still waiting for Lothiriel. [Itnan, 16th of The Deep Cold, 1317] I am meeting Lothiriel at Whisper Isles to talk... [Irba, 18th of The Deep Cold, 1317] I am at the Whispering Inn. 'Tis storytime, and Lothiriel is telling a story. the next one I shall record word for word in this journal, should there be a next one. And of course if I am not asked...Man, I hope I'm not... I hope another person has an intriguing story...I also hope Lothiriel does not ask me to come up and tell a story...I've only the story of my childhood and my journeys through Aegis... [Joma, 20th of The Deep Cold, 1317] I told Lothiriel about Thork, and she isn;t fazed by it.. I figured she would be infuriated, but I'm glad she is not... [Ahad, 29th of The Deep Col, 1317] Lothiriel finally came to a desicion to have me in Krugmar ,and so far 'tis turning out quite well. I am staying with an orc by the name of Thore. [Itnan, 30th of The Deep Cold, 1317] 'Tis quite nervous being around orcs...They tend to act like a dwarf when it comes to an elf who looks, in their opinion, pretty...I do not consider myself pretty, I don't! But the orcs tend to think otherwise... I speant the night in Thore's hut, and 'twas not that bad.. [Kamees, 33rd of The Deep Col, 1317] Verrenn claims that Iblees is coming...I do not believe him in the slightest. Since Thore has gone off hunting, I have decided to explore the Orcen realm in which I must live in for a while. [Tolta, 17th of Suns Smile, 1318] I have just returned from something important, and Thork [Ahad, 1st of The Grand Harvest, 1320] I am sorry I could not finish that last bit. I am now at Dawn's in Al'Khazar...Lothiriel may not be happy, but Ragnor/Thork know where I was anyways. [Itnan, 2nd of The Grand Harvest, 1320] I am getting help from the druids....Turning out well so farr.... [Irba, 4th of The Grand Harvest, 1320] I ran from the druids...To be honest, they weren't doing anything, which is fine with me. I am at Dawn's right now. Sort of scared, actually. I do not want Thork capturing me or anything...I have been lucky 4 times with not getting killed. The gods won't always make sure I am alive. I just hope he doesn't fid me...All of the things that have been happening lately have resulted in my being useless...All I can really think of my use is the use of making people protect me. I am sure that the Orc Warlord probably had better things to do than watch a little elf like me. I wish I knew what I'm good at. I am not good with alchemy, not good at fighting most of the time...All I have done lately is just hide. I want to try to train with strategy. I doubt anyone would bother teaching me...Ah well. No use mourning bout something so ridiculous. [Sabet, 28th of Suns Smile, 1320] I am at Dawn's...Just had an experience Thork a while ago.. At least I didn't get hurt...Nor did anyone else...To be honest, I miss Ragnor. However 'tis a great pleasure to be able to walk aaround without having to worry about the possibility of an evil spirit out to get me. Well, 'tis been eventful lately...Let's see where the gods take us now. [Ahad, 8th of The Deep Cold, 1320] I think I just had the worst run-in with Thork, as himself, that I have ever had...He tried to kill Will! I tried to get Thork stunned, but the guards just ran into the room he locked himself, in and pounced. It's so annoying feeling USELESS. The only thing I managed to do was heal Will...Afterwards...That's all I am ever able to do..  I hope I can become more useful soon. [Joma, 13th of The First Seed, 1321] Lothiriel appears to be in trouble. I do not know how...
