Everything's set now, so I'll go ahead and say it. I'm going back home soon.

I always knew I would, someday. Actually, I never expected to stay as long as I did--three months! I think that's the longest I've stayed anywhere for a while. But even if I wanted to I couldn't stay. For me Soeldei wasn't a new beginning like it was for many of the people ( Read more... )

The pirates have left now. They just left earlier today, as soon as they were finished with their repairs. There wasn't any fighting after all, not like I was afraid of. I'm relieved, because everybody's safe and nobody

And if that's true, then it's time for me to get going on those preparations.

And there's a treasure map here, too! I wonder where ( Read more... )

[Screened from Polyxene, Council people, and all other higher-up NPCs--is this necessary? Ah well]I talked to Polyxene a while ago about the ship. She told me something I thought everybody should know ( Read more... )

Trying to investigate the ship that appeared in the harbor didn't turn out so well. What were those people using? I know those things must have been some kind of weapon, but I've never seen anything like it before!

I think...I was lucky. I stayed back as defense, and I managed to not get hit. Barely. But I saw a lot of people get injured, and when I ( Read more... )

Pirates. I've never actually seen any before. I never really thought about somewhere as peaceful as Soeldei having to face trouble like this, but I guess when the storm came that started it all. Everything's a mess right now. I guess if you wanted to attack, now would be a great time. Not that it's a good thing!

Palmacosta had a lot of trouble, too ( Read more... )

I remember storms like this in Palmacosta...and the storms Aqua caused, too. Some of those were pretty bad. But this is a real one, one we can't stop. All we can do is help who we can ( Read more... )

[There's a doodle in the margins of something doglike, and underneath that a rough butterfly-like symbol and two flowers.]I still have to find something to wear for the festival coming up, if we have to wear something special. All I've got is the clothing I have now. I never really needed to be formal before. Most of the time we were too busy ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I wrote in this journal. I've been a little busy with trying to manage myself. Living on your own is a lot different when you've never done it before. It's a little lonelier than I thought it would be. Even when I traveled alone before, I still had some monsters with me, and cooking for one person doesn't feel as satisfying ( Read more... )

It's supposed to be a new year now. It's funny that this is happening so soon after we arrive here in Soeldei. A new year, in a city of new beginnings...but it was early autumn when I left, and now it's the beginning of the year here. But I guess if this is a place where entirely different worlds come together, then I guess it wouldn't have to ( Read more... )
