Entry 1: Beauty and the Beast (Inxena and Malystryx)

It's been years since I've written down my thoughts but I feel the time is right to do so once again.  I received a letter from my cousin the other day telling me of a great city full of our people.  He invited me to come visit and move in.  At first I was reluctant getting back into society again especially with the raw memories of....  [a few wet spots hit the page]

 

I spoke with my wife and she really wanted to go so we packed up our things and moved to Ker'nor.  When I arrived the hold seemed deserted except for this little girl. She hid at first but when I looked at her it reminded me so much of my baby girl.  She was so adorable with her little book of sketches trying to speak and understand me. I started calling her little foot because she was so tiny compared to my abnormally big frame. She was very bright though and we went on adventures together to a city full of tree's.  There we visited an inn and even meet someone who had a job for me moving horses.  Inxena , the name she called herself then, eyes light up like fireworks seeing the horses and seemed to really enjoy herself.  She even got to help bring it along.  Note to self remember to buy her a horse when she's older.  Well the day ended and we managed to get back home where I meet Dak'ir who settled me into a home and provided me a job inscribing tools and using my skills to strengthen them beyond normal weapons.  I was thrilled things were turning out better then expected.  I ended up adopting that cute girl and we've grown close these past few days.  My wife even has started to teach her how to talk and about music. Things are going better then I could have hoped for. 

 

Entry 2  The Kha and the Mali'aheral 

 

The day started out like any other, I woke and worked a bit with my tools on refining weapons.  With my first sword completed I tested it.  The blade wasn't exactly balanced but the heaviness made it really hardy later I had Dak'ir test the metal he's our resident Master smith and told me that he approved and it seemed a lot sturdier then most blades.  I smiled inside knowing I was on the right track.

 

Xena, her smiling and bubbly self wanted to play and I managed to get a fishing pole off a friend and took her outside for a bit.  She is so adorable the first thing she did is jumped in the water to try and catch the fish.  The cuteness meter was off the charts, well I picked her up and sat her on the bank and explained the correct way to fish with a pole.  Unfortunately we didn't have much success but it was fun up until the point the Kha showed up. I never got his name but he braided me with accusations of stealing his land from his people.  Saying how its the mali'ker's fault for taking it I tried to reason with him and get understanding to where he is getting such claims but he only talked in circles and blame.  I even pointed out the history of Auslon but he refused to listen and went off after we headed inside.

 

I settled to a nice meal at the local tavern with my daughter after that when suddenly the same Kha showed up bringing several mali'aheral and one very notable one name Kalenz I believe.  I stayed quiet mostly, being new there I didn't want to get involved in politics until I knew more about it.  They seemed affronted for even being in our home.  I'm not sure why they were there in the first place but Dak'ir's name came up a few times.  He wasn't even in town right now but a few faces I didn't recognize came into the cave and started talking with the mali'aheral.  I grew board and headed off to my workshop to fiddle with some tools.  It grew  late and I drifted off to sleep at the table.

 

 

Entry 3: The blood of a Dark Child

It started out like any normal day.  I was meeting Dak'ir to get some supplies and ran into a friend 

Veldryn (Vel) who helped me with some supplies for my workshop. Xena was tagging along her usual cheerful self and wanted to play with Veldryn while I put the supplies up. So being a trusted friend I had no problem letting with this and asked her to come straight home after she was done 'pwaying' as she calls it.  That is the end of my normal day.

 

Quite some time passed before I started to get worried.  I had put up my supplies and started working on a new project but heard only silence from Xena's room.  As any parent would know that is when you start to worry.  I noticed she has not made it home yet and begin looking around the cave calling out for her multiple times with no answer.  Eventually I made it to where she likes to hide and saw a bit of her face around the corner.  Her and Val, or what looked and sounded like Val were talking. I asked her to get down and was getting onto her for not listening to me and letting me know where she was when I called out for her.  She said she did, apparently her little voice just doesn't carry well.  Well at that moment Vel pulled her to him and scratched her stating 'the blood of a dark child' or something to those remarks.  Xena started crying and telling him nau let her go.  Now being a good father I wanted to rip the jerks head off and stuff it in his arse.  However they were up in a tiny hiddy hole and my fat self couldn't make it up there.  I felt powerless and for the first time useless.  I screamed pulling out my war hammer but to no avil Xena was trapped and I couldn't help her. Suddenly the Vel like creature transported us to a dark realm.  

 

I looked around and saw Xena who I hugged tightly to myself protectively.  Veldryn was before me I asked where we where and what he was doing.  He said "He needed her blood." then transformed into a hooded figure in a brown robe before vanishing altogether. We were in darkness, all around were floating doors and nothing bud cold still air.  The road twisted and turned ahead of us but on all sides dropped off into pure darkness like a never ending pit.  It was hard to see much of anything but my daughters safety was paramount and I moved forward with her close by shivering in fear.  We manged to find a floating door that came up.  Hoping it was a way out I opened the door and hand like creatures with three fingers came out.  immediately put Xena down and pulled out my hammer smashing the creatures.  Xena backed up in fear as more came.  I slammed the door on them and made a mental note to not trust these doors.  We kept walking but eventually came to an end... there was no where to go, doors came and went some having snow underneath. Xena wanted to go through them but I was timid not trusting the doors.  

 

She manged to get away from me while I was looking for a door and opened one.

The smell of flowers and birds rushed in as she stepped through.  I screamed "Nooo don't" out of fear. Thankfully we were safe and ended up in a Forrest.  The darkness now all gone and my daughter scared for life. I begin looking around for any signs of familiarity but still on edge.  A spider riding man came by and started hitting on my five year old daughter.  I pulled out my war hammer and threatened the poor soul.  Ignoring his attempts to pedophile my daughter I picked her up and headed toward the mali'ker caves.  

 

....to be continued.

 

Entry 4 The ruins of Dun'Sildur

Shortly after arriving from the nightmare. I found Veldryn near the tavern. Memories flooded back from the previous events and I was not going to take any chances.  A pulled out my war hammer and threatened to poor soul.  After a series of questions I felt confident he was who he says I explained what just happened just as Mizz showed up.  He seemed to know a bit about this and went through the same thing just the other day.  I was surprised since I've heard nothing about this from him but he had duties to preform and left me there with Vel.  He told me he knew about some ruins called Dun'Sildur that seemed to be linked in some way to this horrible creature that attacked us. 

After quite a trip we arrived at the ruins high above on top of a cliff.  The place was ominous and quite a bit of a climb for someone my size.  It was a struggle for sure but after an hour or two I eventually made it up and out of breath.  Vel continued calling me old and laughed at how I struggled.  I wanted to smack him with a hammer so many times but probably wouldn't be the best Idea.  As we explored the ruins I found countless dead grows on the ground with quite a lot of blood.  There were old red crystals and even an blood forge that curses any weapon made from it.  The place was not pleasant in the daytime I would hate to be there at night as we explored I found a table with  five chairs leading me to believe there may be more then one of them.  At the end I found a musical instrument of some type that echoed throughout the place once you pushed a key. (organ) The place was gruesome and whoever created this place must truly be a twisted person.  We traveled back home after this a lot in my mind to think about as I fired up my forges I worked in thought as I crafted weapons.

 

Entry 5 Joining the Archons

One afternoon I ran into an interesting mali'ker named Mithius when I was playing Hide & Seek with my daughter Xena.  That girl can hide!  Well Mithius and Dak'ir were talking and I asked about the Archons I've seen about and he handed me a scroll. [ https://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/121386-the-archons/ ] as I read over it I signed it and handed it handed it back.  He was busy then but told me to see him later.  Which I did and became an Initiate.  The armor was kinda small for someone of my size so I had to spend a few days making adjustments in my workshop.  unfortunately the helmet just would not fit over my fat head.  So I just went without it.  The next few days were pretty dull, not much happened just patrols and gate duty until I came home one day and found an odd doll my daughter was showing me but that's a story for another day.
