[COLOR=#A9A8A6]Too much time has past.

It has almost been a full two cycles since I last saw the face of my friends and my dearest rogue.

My hand remembers my blade but my muscles are weaker.
My mind remembers the honor of battle but I can not think of when last I saw it.
My armor feels heavier, as if it weren't my own.

I must get back to the [/COLOR][COLOR=white]hunt.[/COLOR][COLOR=#A9A8A6]

Too much time has past...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#A9A8A6]Hmm. I never thought I'd actually write my own thoughts in my notebook. It seemed more of a place for fact and truth than opinion and speculation but I feel like if I don't write my head will become too full. Which, though others deny, does happen to a warrior from time to time.

This library that I am in, Caer Lelalden's to be exact, has become my home of recent. I rarely venture out, only when I have an urge to hunt or I get wind of news in relation to my research. Though, even with most of the knowledge in the land on the bronze one gathered in one place myself and others can not seem to find any answers. Only more questions. We have to hurry, the final seal is being targeted more often and the darkness knows we are scrambling with backs to the wall. I can only hope High Cleric Shamson will have some news for us soon. Without it, well, we will be weaker for it, though I have faith in the folks of these lands. Every turn I see something that encourages me to not lose hope, a small act of kindness or a simple gesture from someone that reminds me of what we are fighting for and what we have to lose. I just...fear a great battle is coming, one that will require us to sacrifice more than ever before, one that might bring us to our knees.

Too much is on my mind.

I have spent my spare marcs, recently, studying the art of story telling. I hope to include a story every time I write in here. Just for a bit of practice. I know I will never be as good as Blue or Llyewell but I enjoy writing them all the same; it is the only sort of rest I seem to get these turns.[/COLOR]

"Once, a time ago there was a litter of rabbits born. With all litters, this litter had the average rabbits, the strongest rabbit and the runt. It was simple to distinguish the runt from the rest as she was plain brown and tiny. The strongest was even easier to pick out, being the only rabbit with golden fur, which he was quite proud of.

All of the litter survived the first winter finding sanctuary with their mother in a grande barn, that was used by a withering old man to house the royal horses of the Alornium kingdom. Excessive amounts of hay, more than the horses could use, was housed there. Giving the bunnies a meal whenever they wished.

With endless food and a warm home, these bunnies were certain that they would never have a rough day in their lives. Everyone of them, except the runt. She was excluded from her brothers, often not spoken to for turns at a time except when mother had a spare second, but it was only ever just a second. Her eldest brother, the /golden boy/ was mean too. Often forcing her to not eat, showing her that she was weak and didn't matter to him or the others. This left her with only two options, starve or go out looking for food.

So she began hunting, looking for vegetables while avoiding hawks and other large wildlife. With a unsuccessful attempts at gathering vegetables, going hungry for a few turns even, but she did not get eaten so she took that as a blessing. After a few cycles it all became easier to her, even yielding vegetables she'd never even tried. She even stopped eating in the barn with her brothers altogether. This caused suspicions to arise from the eldest brother, he couldn't figure out how his sister was still growing, even reaching the size of his other brothers. He had more important matters to deal with though and finally thought "she's barely even here, seems like a good thing to me."

Don't like it. I learned a bit from writing it though and will continue with my attempt at story telling.[/color]
