[FONT=Optima][SIZE=1][COLOR=green]I'm demon watching, waiting for someone who can fight, and found this old journal while cleaning out my pack. Since I was able to salvage some ink, I thought I might put pen to paper once more. I'm enjoying being back in Valorn, though there have been changes that I'm still getting used to. It seems His Evilness has been making noise and causing trouble, and there are new places that have been found, though many I can't fight in yet. I was pleased that I still remember my way around, or at least I'm not getting lost anymore than usual for me.

I've really had fun catching up with old friends, and making new ones. The guild has grown, and is as fun and friendly as ever. I fight quite a bit, to stay sharp, and have fashioned my UW into the form of a spatha, but take time here and there for an ale with a friend, and to laugh and joke. Despite the trouble with Balthy, life is good... Good friends, good fights, and lots of laughter. There was a bonding in the guild a couple of days ago, and though I couldn't attend, from what I hear it went beautifully. I'm so happy for them both, and I think they'll be happy. Well, the gorge is cleared, and the sun is shining, and my sword is calling me. I need to remember to do this more often! [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
