I am not sure why I decided to write all this down, but I just feel like I must. To any who read this, I am Anime. I lost my mother a few years ago and moved to Gier, where I met my best friend Morgan. I am extremely clumsy, and I can't stand to see others hurt. That is all you need to know of me to understand this.
Today, I decided to join the Firestarters. Perhaps it was thier wish to care for all of Valenth that drew me in, perhaps my small amount of fire elemental magic drew me to the Fire part, perhaps it's just an ingrained choice. Maybe even all three. However, I don't know how I'm going to tell Morgan... She's been set on joining the Silent Rose for ages...

Saturday, Mar. 14
Well, I told her... But only after she came bounding in, announcing she had gotten into the Silent Rose and asking if I wished to come. I let her calm down before I said it, no sugar coating....
"I joined the Firestarters. I leave tomorrow as well."
She looked... Sad, but not suprised. We're like the sun and the moon, after all. She nodded, and went to leave, but paused in the doorway, and putting her hand on my Talstag Sylph, said "Goodbye then. Next we meet it may be as enemies." and then left.

Sunday, Mar. 15
I ride south on Sylph to catch a boat to Schalle. She takes a carriage north to Chimre. I will reach my destination in three days, she in just one.

Wednesday, Mar. 18
I reached Einstall, Schalle today. Just now, actually. Sylph seems to be enjoying the solid ground beneath her feet. I wish they allowed Varanius here- I hated leaving Clicker behind. After I buy some food and get my land legs back, I'll set off for the meeting place in the middle of the island-continent.
I wonder what Morgan is up to...

Thursday, Mar. 19
The meeting place is beautiful.... Gorgeous, untouched wilderness... towering titans, pristine streams, rare flowers... I introduced myself before Lord Valdren and my fellow initates when I got there. Perhaps not the most stunning speech, but I was nervous. Everyone seems very nice, even Takora, the large, loud dragon.
After that I found a little nook in the trees. I don't think most can see me from outside. Sylph wandered off to join the other Talstags around here.

Thursday, Apr. 2
Takora pretty much crash landed into a nearby clearning today, covered in wounds. She said that giant spiders were attacking Gier and she had been fighting them. From what she found out, the Court has sent an Erosion to make friends with them, but something went wrong in translation and they thought we were livestock or some such nonsense. Quite a mess. I couldn't help but think of my pets and charges and companions left at home and hope that they were unharmed. I was not worried about Morgan- She can take care of herself, and is probably far away from Gier right now.

Sunday, Apr. 5
Now there are reports of all the Leupaks all over Dreamsong going crazy and attacking others- I have four Leupaks, I hope they don't destroy anything, living or otherwise. And Morgan is likely in the worst area possible during such an epidemic...

Monday, Apr. 6
Apperently the Dreamwalker himself appeared and had all of the crazed Leupaks sleep, and managed to cure the abounding insomnia at the same time.

Tuesday, Apr. 7
Something is terribly amiss. Even here in Schalle, everyone can feel some great disturbance. Lord Kelan and Lord Valdren took off, with Kelan riding Valdren. Vladren never lets anyone ride on him. We are all terribly worried, but some are trying to lighten the mood by cracking jokes about how Valdren carries about all the animals in his back-forest while in his elf form. It was quite entertaining, espically when I thought about him trying to chase down a renegade squirrel.

Thursday, Apr. 9
They came back today, both looking rather sullen. They told us little, then went off away from us. When they came back, Kelan looked hurt and Valdren downright sullen. It was... frightening.

Friday, Apr. 17
Kelan and Valdren don't seem to be speaking much... But that's not what I'm writing for. Morgan showed up here just now, looking scared. She's actually right next to the tree where my nooks is, so I heard her clearly when she whispered "Please come out. You know it's hard for me to admit that I was wrong..."
Silly girl, always letting her pride get in the way... How can I forgive when I was never mad? How could I be a friend if I was upset that she followed a dream? She has a book in her hands... I think that will tell me all I need to know.
