Picnics and Explorations

Today Seigi invited me and Nefi to a lovely picnic. There was loads of intresting new fruit. Like Kiwies. I like them, they're these little fuzzy fruit but they're juicy and sweet. I also had an apple, but I already knew it's name. One of the apples rolled away from me and I went to find it by a tree. Wouldn't you know who was in it? Shinkan. I wanted to invite him to a picnic, but I'm pretty sure he would have said no. I could tell because he looked as if he had just woke up. I figured he would want some breakfeast and so I left the apple there. I tried to play as if I was leaving there because it wanted to be left there. How ever Shinkan didn't notice it... or didn't want it... one or the other. So I toook some other fruits and left them there, saying the apple was loenly. I smiled up at Shinkan... but I tried to make it look like I was smiling at the tree... I don't know if it worked, but he came and got the furite that I left for him. I hope he enjoyed it. I also hope no one saw him take it. However, I think Nefi saw everything, but she didn't say it... out right at lest... I still have my susspicions.

After I had my fill of the fruit, I asked if I could go and explore. I went a little bit of a ways into the forest in hope to find a spot all for my self. There were alot of intresting trees and I did get to see some deer. I bet they were scared of me at first because they ran off. It sort of mad me sad to see them go. I wonder off a bit deeper still and found this peacful small pond in a clearing. There was this huge willow that dipped it leaves into the water. The leaves sort of made a little clove. I had fun just runnign through the leaves. It's turnk was low enough for me to climb and when, and I got near the top there was this great creator. Like a nest for a large bird. It was big enough for me to lay in and move around a bit. I could see the whole pond and everything around it. The deer that I saw from before came back and started to drink from the pond. They didn't see me this time so I laid down and started to watch them from my hidding spot. It was so beautiful, and so peacful. I found a nice size rock and curshed up some berries I found near by and used a reed to write my name on the rock and put it in the nest. I plan on going back some time soon and doing stuff there. It will be nice having a little spot of my own.

Sea Cave

I met two new satyrs today. Nimrais and Fedh. They both seemed really nice. Fedh was really polite, and even kissed my hand which made me blush. Fedh had this really great idea about exploring a near by cave. I jumped at the chance to see someplace new. So he took me arm in arm and we went down by the cave. Unfochantly this other Dyrad, who was diffrent from Nefi, came up and took him away as soon as she found him. Nefi said that she was his gaurdian, and he was misbehaving. Although Fedh had been taken away, I still wanted to take a look at the cave. Nefi didn't want me to go in alone. She wanted me to come back to the grove and look for some one to join me. I didn't wish to wait that long, I was so eager to explore that I didn't think clearly of the concensquenses and ran in as soon as Nefi's back was turned. I expected her to come in after me, but she never did. In stead she sent Shinkan in after me. I really wish she hadn't now. He seems mad and both me and her for the insdent, and I don't blame him. He was sent in to bring me out and I ended up falling and having him trip right over me. Neither of us was hurt, but that seemed to make him more angry. I hope he still lets me ask my questions that I have... The More I see of him, the more I ask want to ask. Like if he really was against coming in to get me... why did he? Why didn't he just walk away? What did Nefi say to him to get him to stay? And of course... if Nefi does something, does he understand that we're not the same person? That though she spoke for me once, that I have my own voice, and that my actions shouldn't effect him just because her?

I guess then... I remember some one once saying... your actions effect every one around you, it's impossible not to, It's like throwing a rock into a pond, you can not do so with out causing ripples.

I still feel horrible about haveing him come in after me and getting me. I hope he can forgive me for it. Though I have to speak to Nefi about what pulling my hair back means.... and how she shouldn't bother people for things she should do her self.

But then again, when we got out of the cave, she looked sad for a moment, till she saw me and became upset. She tried to come at me but she always stopped short. I didn't understand till after she calmed down (shinkan of course left right after we got out, proubly because he didn't want anything more to do with us or that cave) She said that she couldn't move any further of then she was standing. She never said why, she just wanted to leave it at that. I go into trouble of couse for running off. I'm not allowed to go exploring for the rest of the week. Which means I can't go to my tree and watch the animals. Or back to the cave again. Why would I want to go back... well that's the best part of this whole adventure... besides having shinkan actually pull me out of the cave, but that's another story. You wouldn't believe it. There's something actually living in that cave. Something with such a pretty voice.... I want to go back when i'm off punishment, and find out what that was.

Into the woods: Thoughts of Shinkan

Me and Vael entered the woods today to go and see my Look out. That's the name I've given to the willow tree and pond. On the way there however we end up hearing some one running through the woods. We werent' quite sure if the runner was fallowing us or if we had been following it, but we decided to chase after it. After exhaustion, we noticed that the "prey" had stopped as well. I suggested to sneek up on him, Vael agreed, though I don't think she undrstood the sneek part, or that sneaking requires silence. Either way, we found out that the person we were chaceing was none other then Shinkan. I spotted him first and tried to veer Vael away, but she didn't seem to want to fallow. She ended up faceing off with Shinkan and I guess she got her feelings hurt. Shinkan just brushed everything off and walked off.

Shinkan still confuses me. He saw us comming, he looked dead at Vael before she came up to him, why didn't he get away? He didn't seem to notice me at all while we were there, I'm a bit glad for that. But why didn't he just tell us to go away like he did with me and Toren? Did he really not like being hugged that much that he wanted to get her back for that? Or did he really hope that she would just leave him alone. I can't understand why every one thinks he's such a mean guy. I mean I know he's short with people... but he's not all bad. He did come in to get me from the cave? So doesn't that mean he's a good guy?

I still have many questions I want to ask him. At first it was to ask him about how much the world has changed, and about the stars... but now I want to ask him questions about him self... I hope when the time comes, he'll eventurally answer them all too.

In To the Woods: The Glade

I had finally gotten Vael to my Glade. She was amazed by the beauty as I was when I first saw it. She imedetily took to the willow tree and started to climb it. She seemed to be still down from the incedent with Shinkan. She ate some berries and we talked a bit. I found out she's fears spiders and bugs when one crawled over her. She jumped out of the tree and shook it off before climbing back up, but was afraid to go near the fruit bushes to get some more food, even though she was hungery. I got down and gathered some fruit as we talked about my talents to comunicate with nature.

It's strange how I can do this and other do not seem to understand what I mean when I talk about this. I think it is a skill that I will have to develop later on. Either way, I love the willow tree now for more reason then before, She has such a kind voice.

Shinkan apparently hadn't gone off too far, he eneded up coming into the glade and tried to catch some fish. Thankfully he didn't but I confronted him about hunting in the glade. Though he said he was fine, I doubt that he really was. Every time I seem to get any where with him he seemingly reverts back to himself. I don't mean to be annoying to him, but it seems like my very pressence seems to annoy him. He also said that he now has something to threaten with if I should become too annoying. Though I really don't think he would try anything.

After he left Vael scolded me about being civil with him, when he was being rude. Though I don't take his behavoir as rudness, I can see where others can assume that. After talking a bit on the subject she made a comment about me being the only one to change him beacause i'm Nice... which she soon changed to pleseant. I don't think that has anything to do with anything, but I don't plan on giving up on him just yet. I also seemed to get Vael to cheer up when I proved to her by throwing berries at her that I really didn't think she was annoying.

The Lady

I saw Rija today, it has been such a long time since I saw her. It was good to see her agian, but that didn't last long. She started to throw stones at the trees hopeing to knock Shinkan down. Eventually she sucsseded and the two of them started to fight with they're weapons. Shinkan got hurt too, and Rija ran off a bit after that.

I saw Toren today to. I haven't seen him in such a long time either, but as the two of us were talking about the fight. This truely wonerful satyr came up to us and started to talk with us. She was kind to me and offered her wisdom. I also found out she lives in the wood, proubly some where near my glade. I hope to meet her again.

When I went home and told Nefidean about her, she said that that satyr must have had a wonderful guardian who taught her the way a true lady should act. When I asked why she thought this. Nefidean only laughed and ruffled my hair and said that I could learn a great deal from Aquina. For she was turely a Lady.

The Sketchbook

Nefi gave me a sketch book for me to draw in. Of course the first place that I went to was my willow glade so I could try and capture the colors there. Wouldn't you know it, Shinkan came along. I don't know if he noticed me, but I noticed him, and decided to ad him to my pitcure. I didn't get to finish him at the time because Rija came up and scared him further around the pound. I climbed the tree and decided to draw a pitchure of just him. He never stays in one place very long, even though he looked like he fell asleep, he tossed and turned which made it difficult to draw him.

Rija decided she was going to go swiming though, unforchantly that ment she was going swiming in her undies. "She's a very brazon girl to be running around like that..." Nefi said when I told her about it. "And with a boy around no less." Nefi paused and said it was impoloite of her to be talking about people behind thier backs like that, and she knew that Rija was a good girl.... just a bit too carefree. Either way, She didn't seem to mind the fact that Shinkan should wake up at any momnet, and then teased me about it. I fear my drawing of Shinkan has put it into her mind that I might......er.... Like Shinkan. I mean Like Like him. I don't know why I'm so embarassed to even write it. I know I'm too young to have feelings for any one, expecially Shinkan. Some how, I know no matter how I feel, I'll never hear the end of it from Rija.

If Rija isn't the only one who thinks it a joke, the willow tree, who calls her self Eee-ahval (Eee for short) knocked me out of the tree in hopes to start something. Thankfully her plan didn't work and I scurried back up into the nest to hide. I did almost lose my Sketch book, and with Shinkan standing so close by I didn't want to risk him finiding out what I was doing. When I returned to my nest in the tree, I soon ended up falling alseep. When I awoke it was night time, and started to panic, but when I got ready to leave, I saw that Shinkan was still there...

It's strange... I know he saw me at one point or another... so why was he still there?  

[Nefidean]

The Sketchbook: Finding Out

Gah, I can't believe Nefidean! She and Nova were teasing me about my sketchbook and how I drew a pitchure of Shinkan in there. They were teasing mea and saying that I had a cursh on him and that I was in love with him and how cute we were. Gagh! Nefi knows I'm too young to be falling in love with any one. Expecially Shinkan. I mean I like him and all but I hardly know him, I hardly know any body! Vale's an Nefi are the ones I know the best.

Anyways, Shinkan must have been close by, for the next thing I knew he was coming up to us demanding to know what we were talking about. Before Nefidean could humilate me I grabbed my scetch book and ran. I admit I didn't go that far, but if anything happen, I didn't want a thousand witnesses seeing it happen. He came over to me and wanted to know what was going on, so I gave let him see. He wasn't overly upset about the drawings but he said I shouldn't let what Nefidean says get to me, that surprised me a bit, but I asked for his oppion. I knew he would be honest. He seems to be the type to tell you exsactly what he's thinking and to not hold an punches. He said they were nice, which at least means he doesn't think they stink. I'm still going to try practicing my skills as an artisian.

On a final note, Shinkan said that I should enjoy what I have done, because I wasn't going to to get another chance. It's the whole reason I wanted to draw him in the first place. He's so easly scared off. Not like a dear, but like a fox not wanting to be seen. It was a challange for me, to sketch him before he would get up and dash away. I succeeded at that and I'm proud of it. No mater how it looks.

The Storm

I've been having these wierd dreams lately. Of a woman standing in a feild on a bright beautiful day. She her self was quite beautiful, though her manner of dress was quite peculiar. Though she seemed so shy and timid like an elf. Though when she turned to me in the dream I had, her eyes had such passion and strangth behind them. I felt as though I knew her, but she did not remind me of any one I could remember. She smiled softly at me and held out her hand, as if saying come to me. Always when I go to take my first step to her, a sudden storm erupts. It came with out warning and we have no where to run. As the storm rages a being with terrible power floats with in the storm clouds causing havoc where ever she pleases. She tarrifies me and though I can never get past the look in her eyes to finish the dream, it in itself has tarrified me... The dream it self has been repetiditive, Nefi says that it might be something from my past that I have forgotten.... but something inside me doesnt' believe that.

The thought of the woman and the dream has plauged me for many nights now. I've even started to draw the woman in my sketch book, but I always strugle with her eyes. I don't know how to express them aduqetly. Today I walked around after trying to straighten my thoughts. I ran into Shinkan today, and I think I threw him off his gaurd a bit since I was preocupied with my thoughts and didnt' want to bother him. However leaving my book behind I think it might have just been my imagination, since he seemed to not have noticed at all. It wasn't along time after that a simlar storm started to brew in the distance. I did starte to panic a bit, I admit that. The storm reminded me so much of the one in my dream. I found a near by squirl family to take my sketch book in for the night till the storm passed then tried to find some cover.

I don't know weather to count my self as lucky or cursed, but the only place I could find was a small cave near a stream that Shinkan had already claimed. I snuck in the back way, hopeing to just hide in the darkness till the storm passed, but that didn't work out too well. Shinkan got adventurous and came through the back and some how noticed I was there. He wasn't too thrilled, but he wasn't completly harsh to me like he normaly can be. I'm not quite sure if it's the fact that he knew he couldn't get away from me in the storm, or that he just didn't mind the fact that I was there. However I found out a horried thing from him, that Nefi had said that I was fond of him. I mean I like him and all, but fondness is... not somethign I thought he'd wouldn't like, and I didn't want to scare him off..... stupid Nefi....

The storm got a bit worse after that, and Shinkan found out my dislike for them. Though I wasn't compltely honest about my reasoning behind them, thankfully he didn't pry. I was still nervous, expecially with finding out what Nefi had said to him about me. I guess he could tell and told me I need to relax. I tried to with all my might but he makes me so uneasy in a way. Not that I'm afraid of him, but that I'm more afraid of him being afraid of me. The storm did eventually lighten up and I went out for fire wood. This is the part that really gives me the shivers. Before I left, I talked with Shinkan about hearing the birds and the beasts, and even the earth and trees themselves as they spoke. As I gathered wood for a fire, there was a slience unlike any I have ever heard. As if the Earth it self was holding it's breath. Though I could hear very clearly some one breathign not too far behind me. I even caught a framilar image out of the corner of my eye, though no one was there when I turned. I hurried back to the cave and started a fire, but It was still a creepy sensation.

I don't know what's out there now, but whate ever was in my dream... has now come to the woods. I don't think I should be out by my self any more.... at lest with out a weapon. Thankfully Shinkan mentioned a dealer, a harpy, who sold them near by. I should take a look soon.

Events in the Woods

It's been a long while since I've writen. I've been out in the woods searching for Miss Agent almost every day. Seigi's gaurdian, had disspeared some time ago, and I've been helping to find her. Seigi's with us untill then how ever, even though he's living with us, I have hardly seen him or Nefidean since then.

Alot of strange things have been happening in the woods besides Miss Agenet's dissapearance. I was speaking with Shinkan about the matter before one night. For some reason he didn't mind me being there so much as he does normally... however he still refuses to let me or any one close saying that it was a waste of time. Something did seem to be on his mind though. I wonder what that was.

I had spotted Fedh the next day and was talking to him. He was mostly flirting with me, but I didn't alow it. I finally got him to see my point of view when Shinkan came by and stole our frying pan. I chased after him into the woods, and cought up to him in the middel of a fight with a fierce wolf. When I tried to comunicate with it... I could tell it was not him self. My hypothisis of him being controlled was further proven when Shinkan slayed him. A terrible cry that seemed like his and Fedh's combinded filled the glade. I skined the poor wolf and gave Shinkan the teeth and the meat from the wolf before burrying it, then saved the pelt for my self. Nefi wasn't too fond of the fact that I came back with blood on me (though I had washed most of it off in the pond) but she relized with the pelt that I had that I was doing a service to the wolf and she let the matter go.

The strangest event however came when I started work on my cloak, I knew that I would be in danger and the feelings I had in the woods the night of the storm, was growing stronger. Infact though the forest was alive with my singing one minuet, I could hear nothing just beyond my glade. To test this I threw one of my bladed rings into the forest. when it came back I could see black blood on the very edge of my blade. I grabed my things and fled, knowing what ever it was that was out in the woods, was up to no good.

Nefidean came home greatly disturbed that night. She was muttering something about the Karllah line. When I heard the name I felt a burning flame of rightiousness rise with in use as if to burn the name of evil out of exsistance. Nefi shurgged off any coments of me wantting to fight only saying that, 'She will like that far too much if you were to fight. I can not allow it.... no... not till I find out why..." she continued to ramble a bit after that and stalked out the door in a brown cloak, saying she need to find some one named "Dia"

My mind was made up after that. I am too weak... I need help. I know that I and this being in the woods will meet, and I am no where near ready to face her. So I slinked out of the house, and ran off to find the one person who wouldn't be afraid to let me have it. I had to find Shinkan  

[Nefidean]

The Sparing Match

Shinkan had agreed to train with me, to make me stronger, as well as him self. However our first sparing match went alot diffrent then I had expected. It was brilliant though, how we went into eachother. But I was slightly more at an advantage due to my blades being shaper then his blunt sword.

I walked away with a few bruises, but Shinkan had gotten cut on the face and arm. My head's still spining, he almost had me once, pinned to the ground. I should have stayed down, but like him, I wanted to give it everything I had, so I head butted him. It got him off me, but when I pinned him, it was sort of clear that the battle had turn to my favor in the end. Something I don't think Shinkan was comfortable with.

He had said though how ever, that no matter how many times he got knocked down, he would always come back untill he had beaten me. As much as I don't want to hurt him.... I won't shy away and just let him win. I'll give it all I have, so both of us become stronger.
