4493 Journal 230 runawayguy This is my 230th journal. It sure has been a while since I wrote one of these, and there is so much to be said. I think I will make this more of a journal to recap all that has happened.. With insight into the future... Ever since my parents were killed and I was raised by a group of bandits, my life has been a been nothing but trouble. With my encounters... Almost become undead.. I feel as if Aeriel has been watching over me from the first day I was born.. I know she is the one that has kept me alive all these years, until she handed me to Sage Arcadius.. The one that pulled me back from the darkness and showed me the light... That day changed my life. I became a new warrior of Aegis. Aeriel must have been so proud.. From the day I was born, to when I recieved my Ascended scroll, to the day the Sages were taken back by Aeriel.. My life has been a very long and twisting path, never knowing where I'll end up next. I've also noticed that I am rarely happy.. All this changed a few weeks ago when I met Chrisdena, or should I say Chrissy. I fell in love with her instantly, almost as if it was meant to be.. No, not almost. It WAS meant to be. We were on the followers of Aeriel encampments.. Where we finally were alone, watching the sunrise together. That was the moment I proposed, and she accepted. We've bought a house in Alras provided by Syrio...And we'll be living happily in that home. My mood has completely changed. I'm enjoying life more than ever alongside Chrisdena.. Which brings me to the insight into the future.. Before I fall asleep everyday, I pray to Aeriel, to thank her for all she's done for me. In my dream..I was confronted by a white figure made of only light. I don't know if it was truly Aeriel, but she spoke of a great war ahead. She told me that one day.. After the war that will decide the fate of Aegis.. I...I will have to sacrifice my life, for the life of Chrisdena...and...and our child. She told me not to worry, because I will be ready to step off this world and join her and the other Sages. She told me that it wouldn't be soon, and that I'll be able to live a full life with the one I love. I am prepared to make this sacrifice, whenever it may be, because I know Chrisdena will realize that I'm doing this for her, and our future child. She will make an excellent mother one day. I am Zeph, and this journal will be placed alongside the other 228 unseen journals. Bless you Aeriel..Bless you.
