I ventured further in the crags today and found some more notes and all. They're strange and say beware the blue. I wasn't sure at first if that meant a person or a thing. I kept my eye out though.

I found a camp and some strange people. They tried to attack me so I killed them and looked further. There were some bushes there with blue berries, so maybe that's what it means. There was a man even further on and I got a helmet from him. I think I like my other one better, though this one seems really sturdy.

Bear told me he met Will, and then Will woke up and we talked awhile too. He had another scalp. I will make a wall hanging out of them. And there's Summerfaire coming and I asked Will if he wanted to dance if there was one and he said yes. So I won't forget how to.

I'm using my new words and I think I like them, even if they are awful busy ones. Jaltz noticed them, so they must be good ones because he likes words alot.

I'm putting the scalp with the others and I'll work on the hanging later. I'm tired now from all the climbing.

I found a new place to train. I like it. It's quiet and twisty so it's hard to know where one is. And there's climbing and clambering and all kinds of things. I got all turned about and Will told me about the maps his guild has. That was very nice of him.

Bear wanted to go somewhere so I opened things for him. He's an officer now. I'm sure he'll be a good one. I wonder what officers do? Is it the same for all of the guilds or does it change?

Skylsgannin says he likes the light but he's in the dark right now to think I reckon. He sounds sad. I hope something cheers him up. He's not usually like that. Maybe the upcoming festival will do that. Will says it will be soon.

I wonder if it will be like Fall Festival with costumes and noise and all. I think I'm braver now and will go to more things. Maybe there will be a party I could help at or even a dance. He taught me how to do that, maybe I should try to remember it.

I've been working on the piece more, I'm not sure what I'll do with it. Maybe if it's done in time I'll give it to Eagle when she comes for the festival. Maybe she sees him. Or maybe I'll just keep it here and give it one day.


Kaballoi's guild is building a hall. I saw it the other day. There's a camp there and everything. She was talking about a tower. Lots of building is going on all over the place.

Came to the inn and Eagle was sharing words about Nya and all. They were fine fierce sounding ones. Do the words come to her or does she hunt them down? How does she get them all in one place at the right time?

Lots has been going on or so people say. I'm not sure. I haven't seen many people but I went to the inn to see what was going on. I'm glad I did. I saw people I hadn't in a while and met some new ones. I don't understand some of them but that's okay.

Why do words mean what they do? Some are so busy they have lots of meanings and others only have a few. Going may have lots of meanings, but there's only one that matters. And that's leaving.

I don't think I've learned enough here to think about doing that. Valorn and the people here have taught me lots and I look forward to the new lessons. Even when they take awhile to learn

The inn is quiet now. I like it this way. There are some people here and I know them all - Thorin, Doyle and Jaltz. It's not loenly but it's not all noisy either.

I've started working on my new piece. It took awhile to find the right material, but I think it will turn out. Jaltz noticed the new crystal and complimented me on it. I explained it wasn't mine alone and he understood. That's nice.

BigUns just take credit for things and all. But I haven't seen many of them here do that. There aren't many like that here at all and that's good. I like Valorn and the people I meet here. It's a good place.

And I'm getting better at talking with people I think. They don't make me as nervous as before but it seems the ones I most want to talk with aren't around when I am. I hope that changes soon.

I still don't konw what Wyf menat our last conversation, maybe I'll ask next time I see him.

It took a while, and it was awful dark down there, but it's done. Doyle came like he said and I know it wouldn't have worked without him.

He gave me light like I asked and then he wanted to know if I wanted any other blessings. I don't really know much about what clerics do so I left it up to him. He'd been down there before and everything. I got him some potions since he was doing all this for me and I had scrolls and everything else too.

Shirila was really nice and asked if I had what I needed, and Eagle came and loaned me one of the things she used down there too, Just in case she said. Shirila offered spells too, but I figured Doyle would tell me if I needed anything else, so I said no.

It was dark and there were demons. But I took care of some and then Doyle took care of all the other ones until we got where we needed to go. I don't think I could have gotten there alone.

It was big and I used my weapon lots and ran back and forth but finally it was done. And he never laughed at all my running and yelling. I'm really glad of that. Skylsganin had offered to come too, but I thought about it and decided one person was all I could probably do.

After it was done I gave him the scroll, he told me what else to do and we each went away. So I got it now. I met Eagle and gave it back too and thanked her lots. Earlier she had thought something might be wrong but I was just trying to get ready to go there and all.

It's nice to have people who are friends. I didn't think I'd ever have any, but there are lots of nice people here. The more I travel around the more I meet them. I think that's what I'll do for a while. Meet more people. I just hope it doesn't get too loud or noisy.

I also want to see the people I know but haven't seen for a while. Maybe I'll do that first. It would be hard to meet new people if I don't know about the others too maybe.

I got a letter from Will. He's been hunting and travelling but he advanced. That's good. He's been working hard lately. I was in the inn wrapping the new bobbins when Wyf came in. I told him what I was making and he seemed pleased about it. He said he'd heard he was looking for people to come where he was. I don't know if that's something to do or not. I don't think so though.

Before I could ask more there was a raid and we both went out to it. There were bad things near the magic city but all I could do was weaken them for others. Wyf got upset and got all formal. I ried to apologize, but I don't know if it worked. Derema didn't mind though.

I went to the spider caves but there were lots of people there so I tried a few other places. I can hurt the goats more then they can hurt me now, so that's good. And it's quiet there, there aren't lots of people or anything like that.

The armor works well, I thanks Skylsganin for finding some for me. It was very kind of him. I hope Atia comes back soon, he seems sad.

I'm ready to train but I think I'll wait until I have enough coin. I don't know though. Maybe it would help. I'll need to think about it. I'll ask some people too, they know much more then me.

Viktor told me cheers means thank you. I didn't know that before. It's a nice word, maybe I'll try it that way and see how busy it gets.

I finished what I was making and gave it to Eagle. I hope she likes it. She complimented me on my amulet but it just happened. The forge was nice. I didn't do anything for it or anything. Compliments are strange things I think. People say they're compliments when you're just saying what is and other times they say them and it isn't true. When are they real? And how does one know?

He would only say real things I think. When he said something was clever I knew it was. I know he's travelling and all, but it would be nice if his travels brought him back here, but I don't know if they ever will. It's been so long, I don't even remember if I still know all he taught me anymore. That would be silly for him to come back and find out I was stupid again. I need to make sure that won't happen.

Zyanna had said she'd help but she's not around either right now. Maybe she's travelling too. I don't know if Will will, he didn't seem to like it before, but maybe it's okay now. Or maybe someone else.

I'm going to make something so I remember him, and if he comes back, maybe he'd like it too. I'll have to think about what to make.

There hasn't been alot for me to remember lately so I haven't written but now I have 4 demon scalps and I have to think what to do with them. Will was very nice to give them to me. I thought I could get more and make a blanket but he made a face when I said that, so maybe that's not the right. The hair is too coarse and twisty for lace, so maybe I'll make a wall hanging.

I thought about a cloak, but it would be awful bumpy and lumpy. So a wall hanging. I can hang it on the wall of the hut and all and see it every day.

Training goes slowly but I'm over halfway to visiting Ural. But I won't until I get what I need and all. Skyslganin said he might have some of it, but I don't want to put him to any trouble.

I tried hunting goats but the only way I can do well at it is to use Bright and that's supposed to be for helping others. So I'll train more slowly. Talon says it's best to train where one can by oneself, and I know he's right. Otherwise he wouldn't have told it to me. I hope he's doing well. I'm glad Viktor and Sreip introduced us.

There are so many people I haven't seen lately, I need to try and see them so I know things are okay with them.

And I haven't visited Kodi lately either. I hope she doesn't think I'm upset at her.

The dark isn't dark when I walk it now. There's light all around and I think I like that. I can always put things away and be in the dark though if I want.

But there's one place that I can't light. I'll have to go there soon...maybe. I've been training, but it takes a while. It's quiet though and noone really comes to disturb me. But there's also that lonely feeling too. But it will get better soon I hope.

I asked people about the bad things and Thorin and Wolf told me about it. And I saw Tus and he said he was hurt badly, but he's got all his limbs so that's good. So he'll get better. And Thorin explained what kidnapping is; I don't like the sounds of that at all. It's kind of scary. Wolf says not to worry, so I'll not.

I've not seen many people I know becuase I've been training. I'll try to get to the inn to see some soon. Alone is good but sometimes people are nice too.

I hope Talon is doing good. Last time I saw him he was beating up zombie pirates or something and I don't think he liked being there. I hope he can find a place he likes being.

And Wyf told me he saw will a while ago and that's good too.
