Lodoss Entry #3
I think I am beginning to enjoy my time on this ship now. Not that I wasn't before. I'm just starting to understand things a little better.
This ship is large. Massive. Far bigger than any ship I've ever seen on the sea. I keep trying to imagine what it would be like if these vessels were used in times of war. I can imagine that it would cause quite a stir. The problem is that every time a war breaks out, we end up destroying the environment and the spirits of the world. Spirits are live, like everyone who wanders around on this ship. They are as much as people as we are. They have as much a right to live as we do. It is inappropriate to destroy them, even when they are hostile entities.
To treat all objects with respect, living or non. It is the way of my people. It is the way of the high elves. I wouldn't say I listen to them all of the time, but the more time I spend away from them, the more I seem to miss them. Of course, I don't miss them nearly as much as I miss darling Parn. I miss him very, very, very much. I wish I could see him. I want to know what he is up to. I want to know where he is. I want to know what he's doing. I want to know if he's thinking of me.
Oh, my sweet beloved Parn, I adore you. I miss you. I can only wish that you too, are feeling the same way for me. Contact me, come see me, come stay with me. Anything, darling Parn, just so that I know that you haven't forgotten about me. (Though I can't see you forgetting me. There's no other elf in the world who looks like me.)
I've had the privilege of speaking with the one who called me a 'roommate'. Hatori Miki. This is not a dragon, this is not a puppy like darling Parn's. Instead, it seems to be a person, much like myself and everyone else here. It is beginning to make sense. Everyone gets to stay with someone else, so they don't wind up alone. That's sweet. I still haven't quite understood what I am doing on this ship. I suppose I am wondering what this ship's definition of 'paradise' is. What is paradise to me? It is a place where I can be happy with beloved Parn, of course! One where he and I can wed without my family treating him unkindly for he is a human. I would happily give up my near immortality for my beloved, as any woman would were she the same way.
What is paradise to you? That's a question for everyone on this ship, so that I may get to know you better. So let me ask it again, so you don't miss it. What is 'paradise' to you?
I feel like taking another walk on the Olympus Deck, but it is a little lonely without Parn. Is there anyone else who would like to go with me? I am still new and therefore would not be against having someone help me out. Besides, I'm nice. I'll let you poke my ears. They're real. Believe me.
