The Unexpected Ring
It has been a long while since I last visited Rynn's shop. Even more, it has been quite some time since I have met another adventurer in which I could rely on and call friend. However, this last turn, has broken that routine, rather unexpectedly. I can't recall how we started to interact, all I remember, is that I had congratulated her for her training and leveling, just like I do for all those who work hard. Soon after however, everything is a strange set of events. I remember, just sitting at the Dundee dock, and gazing into the distance, when bird after bird began to arrive. For a moment I thought I had somehow become a tart or something of the sort, but then I saw each bird had a note tied to its leg. After that, I remember, running back and forth between the docks and my home, trying to keep up with the birds' appitite. In the end, I resorted to fishing, and the birds were actually happy with the fish, so that saved my poor feet, a lot of trips. From there on, I began to form my own sketch of her, in my mind, and as I write this, what I have collected has not changed. She has a fare stature, not tall, but short. However, that is only a cover up, for the big and kind heart she has. She is quite jovial, and is always happy to lend her healing and blessings to those in need. She also loves to read any book she can get her hands on, thus I keep this journal in my robes' pocket, though I know she wouldn't grab what isn't hers. She also, according to her, has no mean bones in her body. However, I disagree, only because of what I saw today. Oh blessings of maranda, was it some site. I still get a shiver when recalling that moment, and no doubt, if Balthazar ever encounters her, she will give him a run for his... rotten nose of a boas face. She would probably make him flee with his demons on his tail, not that he has a tail, but... figuratively. Back to that moment though, it was quite a motivating sensation. We had talked of Balthazar and how he abducts adventurers from time to time, when suddenly... she transformed, I almost did not believe she was the kind person I had been talking to a few seconds ago. She had a fierce gaze, and a stance, that sent a challenge; and the way she easally lifted her hammer, and stared fixed and steadally at me, I got the sense that she wasn't one to meddle with. Her brow was furrowed in determination, and I think that, that more than anything else, made her eyes more menacing, and radiate her desire to protect those she cares about. Thus I was not surprised to hear her speak with a tone that allowed for no misinterpretation "If anyone hurts my friends, they shell be pounded into thin sheets!" From that moment on, I had a deep respect for her and her will to keep her friends out of harms way. That is why, I am happy to have this new ring upon my chain, upon the collection of friends I wear around my neck. I didn't expect to ever walk into Rynn's shop, but yet I did, and I never expected to have a new ring upon my neck, yet I do and so I now wear my chain, my collection with a proud manner, and vow to keep those connections that I Have with those rings safe. So, with a cheerful heart, and a broad smile on my lips, I am happy to have the ring with a large ruby that symbolizes her large ego engraved in it, in my collection.

The Ring of Four

As sword and dagger, spell and blessing clash upon the battle field, a new foothold has found. Hope is returned to those broken hearted, and light continues to press against the dark sky. Yet, will we be enough? Will valorn survive this sudden hungry darkness, which devours all in its path. I am uncertain, call me coward if you must. One thing is promised though, hope or not, my staff will continue to bash, my spells to flash, and my thoughts to that which I have sought, will continued to be seeked. I alone can not stop this evil, but neither can anyone else. Thus we have silently formed "the ring of four." The ring of hope that will destroy those who threaten the peace of these helpless citizens. I alone can train, but I alone can not cause pain upon these festering demons. For united we can stand, forming pillars that can withstand, and thus I believe, there is still hope, we just got to find it.
