Journal Entry!
Haha! My Ash has become such a wonderful little boy. Many of the girls still go crazy over how cute he is and he's made so many friends after a few short months. Life with Ash has really made my grief much less potent upon me. I still feel horrible about Illyana being trapped within the crystal shard that still sits in my wagon. Valelldia said that everything will be alright somehow but no matter, I know things will be ok.
But, on a better note, I have met a wonderful shopkeeper who was selling creatures known as Banya birds. It was more incredible that this Banya had the power to bring fortune, whether mystic or material, to me. This has proved to be an amazing day! I purchased this Banya of Fortune immediately and named him Axel. Hopefully...fortune will smile upon me.
