There is so much I could say. Arx is very much changed in my time gone. Or maybe I, myself, have changed. I sense more tension in the air. Celebrations have an undercurrent of fear and worry. This isn't the Arx I left. I hope that we remember how strong we are as a Compact. That winds of change can gust yet we will remain.

Our journey delved into the sultry tale of a particular tempted baron and a salacious breadcrumb.
While I listened with held breath and hand to chest to each word she whispered as she read, how terrible it was to find out that this isn’t the actual end of our journey? That there might be more tales to explore?
But who would ever read a journal of mine about breadcrumbs or pies? And where oh where might these tales of bread be found?

If you happen on this and are the man who promised me a poem: I'm waiting. If you welch, I'll make sure the whole city knows you're a scoundrel and a cad. (Unless you like that sort of thing. Who doesn't love a scoundrel?)

But now I am so excited for all the new life bustling around in the City. Seeing everyone's talents and what they will do with things makes me so happy. Communing with Jayus has taught me to put aside silly quibbles, for the most part... okay, well, not entirely. That's going to take MORE than communing with Jayus, but I am still overcome with joy seeing all the new creatures that everyone is rolling out.
I should look into doing donations again.

Relationship Note on Sebastian
I was happy to see Count Duarte, Lord Orland and Prince Sebastian. It is difficult to be in the company of Count Duarte and not enjoy one's self. He is a nobleman of energy and good humor. His mind is discerning, his conversation interesting, and he keeps company with artists of genius like Messere Caprice and Prince Sebastian.
Prince Sebastian Pravus is well known as an artist, and I count myself a great admirer of his work, though I remain a greater admirer of his leadership. The amount of power he wields by the decree of the Archduchess is staggering, but his manner is charismatic and courtly. He is neither too trusting, nor too incredulous, and can speak eloquently on fashion, art or politics.
I have met with Archduchess Belladonna privately once, and Prince Sebastian many times. He has shown understanding when others have shown scorn. He has offered help in times of need, and he is highly organized. I suspect there are many black journals written to Vellichor describing an honest, if discreet, loathing for the representative of their liege. I doubt this is case with the nobility of House Pravus. He treats his vassals with respect, and has earned by merit what he could demand by privilege. His accomplishments speak to his abilities, and much of his story remains unwritten.
Lady Medeia's gatherings are not to be missed. To be among her guests is to drink from the fountain of life, and dance among the luminaries of our age. One day she will realize the mistake of summoning a pirate lord to such events, but until that time, I will continue to look forward to her invitations.

Also, there is a woman named Raven and that's going to be confusing.

There is a butterfly that when its wings are folded looks like a leaf. When it spreads them out, it is a vibrant red and yellow. I saw a rodent of some kind play dead before a cat that got bored with playing with it and looked away for a moment; the rodent dashed off to safety. I have seen this before but I never thought about how CLEVER this was.
I saw a lone young boy facing off a group of tough street kids with the most bold-faced lie ever - and it worked, the group of tough kids walked off. I gave the boy a few names to reach out to. He'll go far, that one.

When I was on my own, I used what little I had to buy some gear so that I could become part of a mercenary company I attracted the attentions of. The yeoman who taught me to be a skirmisher was a stern, old man. I could only afford a half-dozen arrows, and he took five from me before each training session. I could fire only a single arrow before having to retrieve my arrow.
One day, exasperated, I asked him, "I could get more practice if you would not take all but one of my arrows." He said to me, "You could get more chances to hit the target if you ran to get your arrow instead of walking."
It took my almost two years to earn enough to get my first horse, but by then I had become one of their best.

If civilization is just a construct of man, and man is just a being of the earth, is the artifice of peace truly unnatural?

Not only I wanted to know about anything important I was alsso worried about Clarisse. I've been her guard cinse the two of us were little.
I owe the Charons everything, they rescued me from a very difficult life and gave me oportunities to improve my condition.
They weren't the Charons when all that happened, of course.. They were still members of the Three Rivers house. Still, the feeling is the same. I owe everything to that family.
Now that I'm in Arx, my liege wants me to continue my training.. I'll probably be going to war alongside him very soon.
In all my wildest dreams, I never thought such a thing could happen. I mean I used to live in the streets.. The fact that a street kid can, through hard work and effort be promoted to knight.. This should be an encouragement for all commons. No matter how difficult life gets, never lose hope.
I'll try to write my thoughts whenever pocible. Maybe one day someone will be able to learn something from my experiences, no matter where they lead me.
