I was once very dedicated to this journal. I have found that my duties often keep my mind so occupied that I neglect a lot of things... most especially things I once loved; like writing in my journal.

I have attempted to rekindle my efforts a few times in the past, but I think this time I have found the time on a more regular basis now that someone has taken up my more time consuming duties. I wouldnt have wished it on anyone, most especially on Azure - but our fates are not our decisions.

I miss Azure, as I am sure she missed me when I was sent away for awhile. It is not really fair, but it is my turn to be home for awhile. She kept watch over the lands for a very long without me and now our fortunes are reversed. I doubt I will ever do as well at this as she did.

I just hope people will understand that she is doing something so much more important right now and that she would never abandon her lands and her Queen. Duty, that is all... duty to the lands she loves so much.

Yes, she is fine. Yes, I am certain she misses you too. Yes, I am sure she will be back as soon as she is able. Yes, I will let her know the next time I see her.

Yes, thank you for twisting the knife in my heart. Have a nice day.
