The cover of this journal is made of ash bark and green leaves, and a serpent twists along the bottom binding, along with three wells. Stags run across the journal and an eagle rests in the leaves near the top. The pages are warm to the touch, like they're full of life, and on the bark over, you can see cut out shapes of people and animals sheltering under the leaves. Upon closer inspection, the wood seems sticky, like the sap in the bark is still running. Could the leaves and bark on the wood be... alive?! You peer closer, and as you do, the images of creatures seem to shift and make your head spin. You have to look away, but you can still feel how the book seems to teem with energy and a sort of comforting power. Maybe it's best not to think so hard about something that seems so nurturing.

2.14.11
You sit inside, protected and comfortable as the weather rages outside. The evening meal is on the table, and you're filled with an intense feeling of well-being.
Your mind veers, against your will, to the dying creature that you had come across. It certainly wouldn't be comfortable tonight. What are you thinking? It's probably already long gone. But...what if it isn't?
What's it actually like outside? Do you go in search of the Herald? What do you bring to make it more comfortable, if so? Do you even find it?

xxxxxxxxx●●● Name :: Idony Finn Decker
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx●●● Please call me :: Finn
xxxxxxxxx●●● Gender :: Female
xxxxxxxxx●●● Sacrifice :: Yggdrasil Leaf
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx●●● Stage :: Fallen Messenger
xxxxxxxxx●●● Personality (Predicted) :: Finn is a strong, precocious little girl with a polarized personality. She’s usually quiet, but when she feels the need, she’s brave enough to stand up and raise her voice even to adult authority figures as if on even ground. Stubborn and withstanding, Finn fears punishment from no one, or at least appears that way. In some ways she can be seen as a gentle, protective girl who finds all lives precious right down to the most obnoxious fly. In other ways she can seem like a grim person, especially for her young age, occasionally responding to perceived naiveté that her gentle habits might cause with surprisingly disdainful remarks on human behavior as her experiences with it increases. She shares a close, though nearly unspoken and carefully guarded bond with her guardian, but seems to have a barrier that can be very hard to overcome when it comes to genuine connections with others, and even with Decker, neither of them outwardly show much affection in front of others. Combined with her soft, quiet nature, this can give the impression on others that she’s shy, but anyone who directly approaches her will quickly find she doesn’t shy away from anything, and despite her seemingly apathetic attitude in conversation and words, she pours her whole heart into any and all work she busies herself with and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty.

xxxxxxxxx●●● Name :: Robert Jonah “R.J.” Decker
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx●●● Please call me :: Decker
xxxxxxxxx●●● Gender :: Male
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx●●● Age :: 51 years old
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx●●● Occupation :: Retired/Long time hermit
xxxxxxxxx●●● Personality :: Decker is a bit of an antisocial, old crank. Though only in his fifties, he seems to have aged quite a deal more with wrinkles and weathering to his face and gray in his once deep brown hair. He rarely smiles and laughs are never heard from his constantly frowning, pressed line of a mouth. He always seems to have a look of disapproval on his face, but he assures all who comment on it that it’s simply his most neutral expression. He’s stout, but fit, with a few mangled scars here and there and rough, ragged hands from a life of hard work.
He’s a stubborn old mule of a man who doesn’t enjoy being told to do and is quick to bring up points in his history when arguing over just about anything, quick to remind how many oceans he’s sailed on and how many bar fights he’s triumphed in before you were even born, so there. (Also keeping in mind but completely ignoring the shorter lifespans of humans in comparison to other such things found in an environment such as Gaia.)
He’s somewhat stuck in a simpler time, and plans on staying there even as modern luxuries and ideals surround him. He doesn’t have much of a formal education, and will sometimes talk like so out of spite, but he’s naturally intelligent and back in his day was something of a math whiz.
