I like my new colors and I am sure mistress will like them too!! I am much happier these days and I am not sure I completely understand why. My lessons continue and I find that applying the lessons I have learned to be a great joy and to see the reactions it provokes is heart warming.
Two days I briefly touched the fourth Circle again and when I fell on the field of honor - those zombies shredding me my last thoughts were that I would finally be called home - I awoke in shock to see Najara, Eleina and Amothiewein standing over me in the Hold - my duty here is not done - perhaps if I ever reach the 5th circle I will be called home - mistress has shown me there is still some joy to be had in the souless place and has helped to wipe away the black cloud that was descending over me.
The death of three friends had taken its toll - Jirala, Jant and Meliana I will misst them all and envy that they have made their way to their final rest.
Merle and Najara put in a lot of work with myself and Kaddaz to help us realise the damage we were causing to those around us with our fighting and antics - that combnied with Mistress's instruction has helped me to relaise that such revenge is hollow and soul destroying.
The posters are gone, apologies made and Kaddaz and I can talk and be civil though I doubt we will ever truly be friends again.
I have met and befreinded an intruging lady called Erin a servant come warrior from some lands called Kara-Tur. The culture and customs are so different and I inadvertantly caused her distress when I gave her a hug - I had to explain the different modes of affection between freinds and the differences in common terms.
Erin is a good warrior and has a noble heart and seeks her own honor in combat - I am looking forward to gettting to know her better and becoming good friends with her.
Jallia, a paldiness, is a wonderful lady as well and I enjoy her company immensely. I hope to see more of her around Sanctuary. Her travelling companon Stilgarr is a monk of good heart though he doesn;t know when to withdraw from combat for healing and I was injured a number of times trying to heal him - perhaps he will begin to realise and make my life as a healer a bit easier.
Jesse is an intruging man - he doesn;t have a pious bone in his body but he is a good soldier and always looks out for me when he is around - I appreciate his care and concern and between you and me journal he is cute!
Gabi introduced me to her cousin Jon - a flamboyant man taken to dressing in outrageous colors that just don;t look right on a man. Whilst he has a nice manner about him he appears fixated on his mother and claims that she and I are his muses for inspiration - he comes across as a little creepy but it may just be that he is from a different culture and I don;t completely understadn what he is saying.
Yesterday I shared a quiet drink with Amothieweien - it has been a challenge to try and get to know her better she is quite cool and aloof but underneath there is a lady that needs friends and I hope to reach this lady under the cool exterior. i beleive racial differences aside we could be good friends.
Earlier today I was very suprised and elighted to be able to spend some time with paladiness Eleina - I had thought she disliked me for some reason but after a quiet chat I can understand. She shares some of the same reservatins as me about the House of Light and how some mebers have been acting. There is a kind and gentle lady under the gruff exterior and I am glad we are now friends - I look forward to seeing her on the Battlefield and hope that her plans with Drusilla come to fruition mayhaps I could even play a part.
I have been quietly working on a few new dance steps - I am so out of practice maybe Nicki can help me - it is much easier to dance with music.
