Entry One

This entry is filled with curlicues and doodles as the author can't seem to focus.

Spring

I'm noting down my season entirely so later when I'm re-reading this I know what lens I was looking at the world through but to be perfectly frank with the world could I be anything other than ecstatically happy that I didn't die from that bullshit? Fucking blue dragons, teenaged dragonborns, cultists again, so many kobolds too many kobolds why were there so many damned kobolds, racist drows and whatever the other one is (looks half-elvish but I have my doubts), and the only sensible one among them or: the one with the greataxe. He might be one of the barbarian peoples but honestly he's the most sensible out of these new people I suspect Valyn and I will be traveling with for a while.

That being said, the not-a-half-elf is very attractive. Very attractive. The axebearer

Bardulf. We just spoke and his name is Bardulf. Either way, NAHE and Bardulf are both surprisingly attractive for people outside of the grove. The drow too, but. Well. She's a bard. I think they are required by law to be attractive.

The dragonborn is sixteen. That is a 1 and a 6. Why did she leave her nest? Do dragonborns have nest? I'd assume so since I'm assuming they come from eggs but to be honest I don't know and I don't want to know. I just want to know who let a sixteen year old leave her home and put horses in danger.

Even if that was pretty amazing.

Here is a rough (very rough) sketch of a black dragonborn riding a white horse and running into a cultist, the trampled bodies of three kobolds flying behind her as Bardulf and Valyn watch on. The figures are labeled "kobolds", "cultist", "Bardulf", and "Valyn", because the author knows he's going to look back when he's in a different mood and wonder what the fuck.

I sincerely hope we don't have to work with Nahe, the child, or the bard (Saria? Sariel?) much longer. I mean I'm sure I'd like them if I'd been in a better mood more often during all of that and they weren't calling me dead weight because of my winter snaps (note: don't let the bard make you angry to snap out of winter and into summer) but I wasn't and they weren't very

what's the word

sensitive to eladrin quirks. I called them racist earlier but maybe they weren't? The child certainly wasn't, she's only sixteen and didn't know what an eladrin was but she's still aggravating, but maybe the other two just don't understand I literally can't help it. I've always been volatile, and when there is a fucking adult blue dragon attacking a town you were going to in hopes of getting answers well. Fear makes things complicated for me. Having to let the mill burn down with those people didn't help, either. I wonder if they

I have a greater appreciation for Val now though. I would have died several times if he hadn't dragged me away when I was too sad to care anymore.

At least it wasn't a total shitfest, though. Adreya came to me in trance last night and I have finally, finally finished the last bits of the Circle training! The healing powers of the summer court are mine at last!

Note: ask Val if we can let Bardulf carry me next time. Just to see.
