Saw me beautiful Rhileigh after a time way from th' lands. Got yelled at fer no tellin' er wha appened, but was good t' see er gain. Ope it ne'er appens gain, but if'n it does I'll ave t' write somethin' ere an' leave it wit er when she be sleepin'.

Spenin time wit me Love. This turn be a good one. Been many moons since we last seen each other.

Been o'er a cycle since I seen er. Jus wanna old er in me arms an' watch th' Rifter set. Miss er so bad it be urtin'.

Be missin' er. Aven't seen er ina few turns. Sometimes jus be sittin' in th' guildalls an' lookin at th' portrait. I be th' luckies rogue in th' lans t' be wit someone like er. Ave t' think o' somethin' special fer next time I be seein' er.

Love er more wit each passin' turn. Wanna be wit er always, but sadly there be many reasons we ave t' be apart. Glad it jus fer a part o' a turn. Ad th' bes bondin' gift coulda asked fer. Th' guild put a portrait o' me an' er up bove th' hearth in th' rogues room in th' alls. Me an' er spent th' better part o' our time t'gether in there. She be meanin' th' world t' me. I'd give er th' rifter itself if'n I could.

T'day be th' day. For th' firs time in many cycles I be at peace. Feel like th' darkness can't be touchin' me when I'm wit her. Enjoyed avin' an wit er. Firs time I'd enjoyed an ale ina long time. Feel like I don be needin t' ide anythin roun her. Dunno what ye'd call this feelin'. Guess it's what people be meanin' when they talk bout butterflies bein' in their belly. It be a long fergotten feelin' fer me, but I like it.

Finally gotta time set fer our bondin'. Be really lookin' forward to it. Cherish e'ery moment we spen together. Wish I could fin th' words t' tell er ow much I be lovin' er. T'night she elped me face me bigges fear. No mount o' plat or anythin' else can be worth much as er love.

Dunno what t' write, jus know need t' write somethin'. Th' pass cycles' been mazin'. Ne'er woulda magined there'd be someone like er walkin' th' lans. Ne'er in me life ave I been so much like nother person. She no likes blessins or chantments or anythin' magical fer tha matter. She like animals more than people. She drink ale th' way I used to. Really wanna start a ale drinkin contest, but I'm no sure bout th' darkness comin' back. There be some thins I need t' check firs. Talked t' one tha said ale no be th' problem. It be th' hate. Now that I thin bout it, he be right. Ne'er met one so dark. Would like t' buy 'em an ale. It be nice t' fin people tha thin th' in th' same way.

Ave t' say I's wrong bout some thins. I've learned, fer th' most part, people are good. Th' ones that don seem good jus be... misgided. Jus need t' learn t' speak t' th' eart. It be th' eart that's th' force that gides one. Sadly, I dunno ow this be done. Ope I can learn this, too.

One questions been on me mind lately. Ow'd one teach people t' put side their differences so they can work t'gether? There's lotta good people in th' lands, but it seems they don know ow t' work t'gether fer a single cause. If'n I could do somethin' t' elp all work t'gether I'd do it.

Been doin' some thinkin' lately. Made some bad choices in th' past, but it's behind me now. Time t' work toward a better future. Not gonna be easy. Hope it's worth it.

Dunno what t' do anymore? Should I go through th' trouble o' givin' up ale or do I jus give up? One thins fer sure, I'm tired o' somethin' but dunno what.

Recently I've asked meself what made me pick up a mug o' ale. Dunno th' answer. Ye ave t' answer fer e'erythin' ya do. Wish I could go back an' stay way from ale from th' beginnin'. It's like avin' a crystaline shard an' not bein' able t' old it 'n yer and. Wish I'd ne'er picked up ale. Wonner if I should jus walk way from th' shard an' not look back. Maybe that'd be best. Th' shards too valuable fer th' likes o' me anyway.

Finly made a trip t' Fartown. Lots changed since last time I's there. Made me realize it's time t' fight evil, which raises th' question: Would th' evil one be fraid o' a good person that welcomes darkness?

Been doin' a lotta thinkin' lately. I been runnin' too long. Time t' face one o' me biggest fears. I'd rather go t' th' temple in Bran, but it's what as t' be done.

Ne'er thought I'd attempt givin' up ale, but it's what I'm tryin' t' do. Seein' th' saddness in er eyes cut like a dagger. Dunno ow I'm gonna do it, but I gotta. Couldn't bear seein' er like that again. Thinkin' bout takin' up fishin'. If'n I can figure it out. Right now I'm very confused. Still avin' trouble if'n I'm in a town so I try t' stay 'n th' mountains somewhere. Th' cold seems t' elp a bit. I'll do whate'er it takes. She's shown me nothin' but kindness. Time fer me t' least try t' return some o' that kindness. Hope I can build up th' courage t' tell er what I need t' tell er. She's beginnin t' be a dear frien.

Know i'll be regretin' tis later, but I gotta ave a ale. Know she'll be upset wit me ,but need sometin t' stop these shivers.

Ne'er wanted ale so bad 'n me life. Walked t' th' inn an' stepped 'n th' doorway. Could almost taste th' ale. I'm gonna try as ard as can t' stay way from it. Don't wanna upset me new frien.

Decided t' make a trip t' Valorn. Started talkin' t' people again. Least th' best I know ow. I dunno ow much longer I can stay 'n Valorn. Gettin' t' be too much.

Sittin' ere starin' in t' me mug o' ale thinkin' ow can we fight th' evil one when he's that powerful. Seems t' me N'rolav be th' future stead o' whatever they be callin' it. If that be th' case why bother? Th' people o' N'rolav seems t' be doin' alright. Th' way th' land be now isn't much better. At one time it may ave been, but people leave an' thins appen. Kinda makes ya wanna dispear 'n th' tunnels.

Brewsky river take me mind, don't let er memry torture me. Brewsky river don't run dry, yer all I got t' take care o' me.

There is a house in Port Perfadis they call Questionable. It's been the ruin of many a poor boy and gods I know I'm one.

Jus thinkin o'er me ale. May take a stroll cross th' lands soon. Not sure where I'll be goin' but I'm tired o' lookin' at Kili all th' time.

Nother peaceful night in th' inn. It be nice an' quiet ere on Kili. S'pose I should do a bit o' trainin'. Jus bought some pots an' figure it'd be a good time t' use 'em.

Why do people ave t' leave th' lands? Sure there be a fair mount o' evil, but there be many good people ere. Cept fer th' clerics that be thinkin' light needs t' be everywhere. Hope fall festival stays in Valorn. The inn ere be nice an' quiet. Don't need no crowds makin' all kinds o' racket. When'd I lose me faith in people? They're not all bad. S'pose I jus need time to think.

After much thinkin' I ave decided t' take a vow o' solitude. I'll elp someone if asked, but I'm thinkin' it's best if I stick to th' shadows fer now. That is unless someone be changin' me mind. That's unlikely, but anything's possible.

Nother lonely night wit me ale. Pirate ale seem t' be th' only thing I'm findin' joy in these days. Sis keeps houndin' me bout th' parts o' th' lands I'm stayin' in an' th' mount o' ale I been drinkin'. I know she means well, but Gunwalls makes th' finest ale in all o' Trinald, an' it be nice an' quiet 'n these parts. Beside I ave chosen t' embrace th' darkness. I'm not takin' Balthazar's side, but if'n we gonna win this war we're gonna need someone that be knowin' a lot bout th' darkness.

Th' taste o' pirate ale be one o' th' finest 'n th' lands, but I grow weary of it. Th' ale as no flavor if'n ye can't share it wit someone. I miss her so much.

Sometimes I wonder why rogues ardly ever used th' tunnels. Makes travel a lot quieter an' faster. Do ave t' pay th' cost fer lockpicks, but it's a decent price fer quick an' quiet travel. Wish Kili ad rogue tunnels, but wouldn't ave much used fer 'em on an island.
