I've been remiss in keeping my journal updated but so much has happened. I'm with Emma now, I've been staying in the forest with her in my old hammock. We battled it out with the Technocracy, the purpose of the fight didn't work but there was so much more going on than we knew. Else and carrot top had their gunfight that nearly killed Else, and it took everything all of us had to put her back together again. Annorax is his normal stupid and annoying self, but I'm dealing with it, it may just be that VA's are quirky and that makes them stupid and annoying. I used to believe the same thing about certain Etherite's as well. Doesn't make me like them any less, just admittedly I'm careful with my trust.
I'm going to be an uncle, Else is pregnant. Its awesome and frightening, because now its not just the woman who raised and cared for me that I have to worry about, now I have to worry about her child as well. I would never say this to Else, she's freaked enough about it but honestly when I look back on the things and people in my life who have helped me be who I am today, I know she was a huge part of that. I wish I could thank her for it all, but I don't have the words and there's nothing I could do to make it all up to her. And then there's Emma, she's awesome and so much is going wrong with her world and I want to make it all better and I try as best I know how. I like to think I help, but I know there's nothing I can do to fix the things in her life that have sucked.
I start school soon at Terminus State, which I'm looking forward to, its not the priority of my life but it is at the same time. Its just something to be able to do some normal teenage things, not that I regret being a Mage anymore, its what I am and who I am and I've accepted that. I know the things that drove me to despair, they didn't destroy me or drag me down I'm still here and I'm still the person I became when the Djinn remade my memory. I now know that angst is not the Hollower way, Hollower's are romantics and my life is the greatest romantic ideal, hell my cabal is, Terminus is. I'm where I 'm supposed to be, doing what I'm supposed to do and I love my life, I love my cabal.
Oh and the Technauts are in diarray. Apparently all their tradition heads Ascended, and the conventions themeselves are completely lost and confused. Save for the Void Engineers who found and new universe and just left, there's no one to patrol the deep umbra now and no early warning for the things beyond the Umbra and the Tellurian. Things that want Emma. Okay I didn't say that there's wasn't things to be frightened about or things that had me on edge about. I'm just not letting it destroy me anymore. Oh, and this amazing vacation of a few days that me and Emma took was great. We swam naked in the ocean, we flew through the night sky and laughed and ate seafood and just forgot all the bad things in our lives for a couple of days.
Now we're back and the world was waiting to pounce on us. Big surprise there. We broke the bad news to the Traditions and we gave them the physical representations of the tenth sphere, and they went to into session to figure out what the hell is going on. And the Mobius cabal went for Indian. Hey can't save the world on an empty stomach can we?
