Uh... More work... Calypso and Kima have asked me to answer Crown Princess Lark's summons... I've done so, and assisting where I may. Will this travesty ever end?... Surely once the siege is lifted, I can return to my tower in piece...

Relationship Note on Percephon

Percy has a job for me. But no idea how I work. Go look for answers in a book, he says.
So I went to the bar. Books are boring.

Relationship Note on Orazio

The path our lives take can often find us in surprising places. Nearly twenty years ago, Legate Orazio was there when my mother was lost to me in an act of violence without purpose or meaning. A devotion of Limerance and beautiful singer, I could find little reason in the loss of her and a bitter understanding of reality grew within me. It was Legate Orazio, then only a godsworn priest of the pantheon, who helped me through my feelings of regret and anger.

Two decades later and he is the Legate of Concepts and I am the Archlector of Lagoma. We do not always see eye-to-eye on all matters of doctrine or purpose, but I trust him and count him as a friend. I am glad to find him again here in Arx.

Relationship Note on Caelis

Ever since my return to the family, I felt in the beginning I didn't know my sister like I used to. I am happy to say that notion has changed extensively.

She's the only true family I have left, aside from Serah. She is the family member closest to my heart.

I missed you Cael.

Relationship Note on Ophelia

I hope she and Serah are well. I grow worried what may become of them if we lose this fight.

Ophelia's smart. She'll keep herself and my sunshine safe.

The days are dark.

Legends themselves come to attack us in droves....and now, black magic stands to be our newest enemy. Or at least in my opinion.

I don't know if we will win this battle, but what I do know, is at all else, we will buy the world more time.

On my sword, I swear this.

Relationship Note on Peregrine

The worst example of what a woman could be.

She could likely trounce me in a straight-up fight...with my leg injured as it is, at least...but should she?

No.

This world is falling apart.

Relationship Note on Calarian

Met him in the Hall of the Dead.

So far he is just another Prince I do not like.

His wife steps in front to protect him.

HA.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin

Calaudrin paid me another visit last night. He's so bold. So much raw man. It was all I could do to keep myself from dragging him to a dark corner and ripping his clothing off in ecstasy and desire. Tell me, Journal... Why do I lack the courage and conviction to share my true feelings with him in person? Why must I write about them here instead in vain hopes that he'll take but a moment from his heroic day and stumble across my pining?

Oh journal! What am I to do?!

Even though there is a siege and an army of demons at our gates, my thoughts are only consumed with Calaudrin Estardes.

Magpie Estardes... it sounds nice, doesn't it?
Mag Estardes?
Calaudrin Grayhope?

Does anyone do floral arrangements? I'd like to send something to the Iron Guard barracks.

I do not want to write maudlin poetry and so I shant.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin

Dear Me,

I mentioned, when I rhapsodised about Esoka, a man-at-arms who boldly seized the moment to become our commander. His name is Calaudrin, and it should surely be sung.

Without him, we would have lost the gate, without question. The archers would have fallen into chaos. T'was his idea to light the arrows aflame, which panicked and weakend the enemy.

Also, he stepped in a bucket of pitch and burned his leg.

T'was only a moment, but a moment of such comedy and self-deprecation in the face of such awesome responsibility and peril, still marshalling the forces without missing a beat. He was such a storybook hero then, not shining and flawless but fearless and real.

I admit, if I were not already a little in love, I'd probably follow him like a puppy, longing for just another moment of that dry wit and authenticity. He is a joy of a person. Oh ye lovelorn, take note.

I do believe he's single.

Love and Puppy Love,

Me

Relationship Note on Esoka

Dear Me,

Esoka! What a brilliant, brave name for a force of nature! She's beautiful and her arms are magnificent, the arms of a woman whose blade is an extension of her every movement. I'd love arms like that, graceful lines of muscle from shoulder to wrist.

She leapt from the ramparts when we defended the Seawatch Gate. I would never have had the courage or even the notion to attempt such a mad and marvelous thing without seeing her soar. The next thing I knew, I was following her through the air, loosing arrows at a bringer on my way down.

Between the two of us, we slew the beast. The gate held. I felt such kinship and delight to have a comrade-in-arms. I am sure I shall remember her the rest of my days.

Of course, we would never have had the chance without the brilliant command of a man-at-arms who stepped up to marshal the archers -- and the brave archers, themselves. They demolished a horde of shavs, allowing Esoka and I our chance at the bringer.

By the grace and blessing of Gloria, we lost no men in the action.

I have been told that until I see a battlefield of a thousand slain, I shall never know the true nature of war. I have no doubt this is true. However, if there were ever any conflict in my heart between remaining safe home and placing myself on the lines... it is now gone.

As long as there are people to defend, I shall, no matter what cost.

Ansel shall be so very cross.

Love and Victory,

Me

Through all the darkness that surrounds us, there is some small comfort that I can find to bring light to my life. I can only hope that the gods continue to smile down at my good fortune, and allow me to begin this, the next chapter of my life. I can hardly wait.

I'll also say that while I am happy that my Aunt Ann has finally returned to Arx, I do wish it hadn't been under these conditions. I hope the siege is ended soon, and normal life can resume. I have so many plans to make.

Relationship Note on Korka

It's good to have Korka in the city. Her creativity in methods will certainly be useful during these times, and having another trustworthy member of the house such as her to help with research is a reassurance. Even she won't get too bored, what with the siege, bringers, and everything else going on at the moment.

I have written 8 drafts of a song. I have burned through several candles unable to sleep at night writing. However, this is the most current version. I may change my mind all over again in a few hours.


Starlight so far away...

We send our lights,

we pray...



Nothing will break our spirit..

We will not fear it..




Our Bones are broken..

Beaten to the ground..

With prayers spoken...

We ready for our second round..



Our dead will not be forgotten

We will defeat the evil, their begotten...



Lost souls of the City of Arx...

Light up the sky against the Dark..



Their spirits rejoin the stars...

and the war soon will be ours!




I have no idea what I am going to call it. The "Lights of Arx?" I have no idea. I need more sleep.

Relationship Note on Aleksei

There now, that was not so painful was it?

One lesson complete. I can only hope progress is made with the next one and perhaps with less vocal complaints next time. I feel as though this is rather like training a puppy not to chew during teething. All the same, I am certain he will impress.

Relationship Note on Silas

I don't think I'll ever know exactly why Everard decided to become... what he became... but Silas is as worthy a successor to the Lord Commander title as most anyone could have asked for, by my estimation.

Working with him during the time leading up to the battle of Pride Hall while the Crimson Blades were Iron Guard Auxillaries was enjoyable, and he didn't try to keep us longer than he needed to. I'd be happy to work with him again as it comes up during the siege.
