Truth is, I could not stand to be so far from my children when the darknesses started to stir. Too much uncertainty in the world, then, and though they were apprentices in their own rights (still are) and doing well enough without me, they will always be my babies. Much to their great suffering and chagrin no doubt. I just needed to be where they were. With things seemingly settled, for the time being at least, it was time to return. While I loved visiting the small hamlet, it is not Arx, not my home anymore.

I know you have missed me terribly. I have some exciting news though! My brother - Sir Tarrant Moore - has promised me a brand new dress (hopefully from Petal's fine Tangled Skein!) which I pray matches my darling new DIAMOND NECKLACE (coming from Coldrain Crafts - where Lovely Sameera is in dire need for economic writs so if you have some go see her!). That's right. Diamonds... well Dawnstones are a girl's best friend but Diamonds will do until then.
Also my dearest, doting brother is competing in the Joust tomorrow so ladies! Send your favors his way.... if he wins I might get some earrings to match my necklace!
Absolutely Adored,
Lady Tessa Moore

I would have said that I would be living in Arx: Good on past me, I was right about that!
I would have said I would be godsworn, dedicated to Vellichor and the Pantheon: Not so much there. No the gods had other plans for me.
I would have said that I would be making new friends and hopefully be creating a new family: This is so very true. I had hoped, but what I found here in Arx has so wildly exceeded my expectations that I cannot even properly put it into words. I was so frightened when I arrived. And what I found... a husband that not only am I friends with, but who I feel real and genuine love for (I can say this now. The cat, as they say, is out of the bag after my accidental scrawling here in my white when I thought I'd been penning in my black. Ah well. It is official: I am in love with my husband. And that is good!)
In other news, since it has been revealed, I am carrying the next Keaton heir. This fills me with a joy I cannot hope to quantify. Kael and I have made something magical and wondrous and though I cannot recommend the sickness of the belly that still plagues me from time to time, the journey is one that I am sincerely enjoying. I carry with me the future of House Keaton and we are so excited to meet the child when they arrive. I am blessed in so many ways, and I am thankful for the pains of the past that have strengthened me, shaped me into the person I am. The gods have a plan for each of us. They set the path at our feet so that we are who we need to be when the time is right.
I love my husband. I love the friends, the dear, amazing, remarkable friends I have made here. I love my life and I love the gods.
I cannot wait to see what this new year brings.

It is a bright time of hope and renewal.
The Shrines are alight with activity as followers come forth with wonder and focus on renewal of vows. The Faith will be here to provide guidance and counsel to face new and old paths.
The Gods welcome you. Praise to them.
Happy New Year, Arvum.

He did, however, apparently bring me luck. When I went a little later I set a new personal record - 151 marks. I could tell Duke Arn was impressed, because he didn't chastise me for a poor score.

I suspect, though, it's just another canyon's difference in perspective. A little like the practice of marking the turn of the year on a specific day, something I'm still not entirely used to, except with a lot more effort, money, and work hours thrown in, instead of a few parties, extra sentimentality and a lot of drinking.

I am looking at several figurines in my position that make me thing of much the same, from something less-than to something more and then the third, evolving from an expression of anger to one that's joyful.
It's intriguing.
I'm glad I didn't set them on fire.

I cannot believe it has arrived so quickly. Though, in truth, I like the feeling of a fresh page to write news stories and new futures on.
Just so, I have high hopes for this year. I have a wonderful feeling it will be filled with remarkable things. The city seems to be waking up again. I cannot wait to see where I will go and where the fortunes of good friends and beloved family will flow. I pray that their hearts will be happy and their minds at ease. That troubles find good resolve and that good things will be more than abundant.
And so, here's to to Life, Luck and Love.... and to a very beautiful and hopeful new year to one and all.

We ran into the Place Seraph, and briefly discussed the Grayson patrols with her, but given the nature of what was found, decided to table the discussion for later. I've invited to House Grayson to go over the details, seeing as we were both involved in such a patrol.

This year I celebrated by buying Dog his own muffin. He was pleased.
