Dear Journal,

This shall be the last time I write you from within the walls of Mag's house. My house shall be done in just one more day and I suspect I will be busy tommorrow eve with plans to move in. I am quite glad that my house is finally nearing completion, although I will miss the company. I know not what I will do when I am alone in my house, I hope that the solitude will suit me.

Last eve I performed my first heal on the island to M'lord Khalidan, who's messed up acrobatics landed him a few bruised ribs and a broken ego. After some fighting we got him to his ship and I healed him to nearly complete. Wow, had I forgot how healing a person can really take it out of you. I was unable to stand upon my own two feet for the remainder of the evening and I had an unbearable headache.

Luckily for me, I had the company of three friends, first Lady Charquin, who is a true friend, she remained worried through the entire thing but I do say I could not have done it without her moral support. The other two were the brothers Eyas and Attrei. Both were very kind and helped in anyway possible,Attrei especially. The man, who must weigh less than I, carried me from the ship to the dome, and the proceded to feed me hot tea and give me a massage. It did wonders to calm my headache and then he carried me back to Mag's house at the end of the evening. I find him to be a very kind man, and quite entertaining in his dance.

*blushes* I do not wish to write anymore on that subject until I am sure of what I think, I know that some have speculated that our relationship is more than a friendship, Lady Char and Eyas the most common ones. Tonight was truly a painful night at the dome, there were many words that passed between a few people. Eyas jumped into the water and Attrei jumped after,only for us to find out he couldn't swim. Eyas was lost for a while and Attrei was pulled out, but he was unconscious. After numerous people tried, I finally revived him with Tae's help. Then Tae went in search of Eyas only to break one of his own ribs, now you will understand why I say it was a night filled with pain.

Fortunatly, I was able to heal Tae's rib and Eyas and Attrei are ok, weak, but ok. I shall write more when I am in my own home, farewell for not journal, I am very tired.

:::sits in her sitting room at the Manor, wrapped in a warm blanket upon the chaise, as she tries to warm herself, and writes:::

By Bayhrah its cold! Even though the temperature outside isnt cold, the waters damned sure are. Eyas...a what fool...calling out for the Sharken to come and take him, then going out into the waters, swimming! If only he had been there once before...swimming with those beasts is not all its thought to be. You dont always wind up dead...just ask Uncle Alterio. Attrei, worried as he was about his brother's safety, plunged into the water to try and save him...though he couldnt swim. Thank Bahyrah I was outside. I managed to make it to him and pull him out of the ocean.

Then Taelie went out after Eyas, and he came up. I was talking to Taelie, and had sent him inside to get warm. I thought I would check on Eyas, sure enough, he wasnt breathing. After one good sound pound upon his chest, he spit the water up, and regained his breath. THEN he had the nerve to glare at me and say "I did not ask you for your help."...well, no shit. I did it out of the goodness in my own heart. Maybe I should have left him there to die.

Though, I couldnt do that. I would never be able to forgive myself if I had. I wanted to drown him myself. If it hadnt have been for Attrei..I likely would have just handed him my dagger and told him if he wanted death so badly...there was his way. I swear..

I offered to sell Janey my home. I dont have any use for it, I live at the Manor. Her Family needs a place to stay, so, why not.

Lia...she seems to be able to sense my emotions more and more. I cant hide anything from her anymore. Nothing. Well, she is still my darling little Golden Child, and I love her, its only right that I not hide everything from her, I suppose.

Well, its off to bed, to get warm and snuggle with my Lia...

**writes in his journal the writing jagged slightly due to his pain**

Well last night I helped save one person and tried to save another, breaking a rib and fracturing most others in the process. I walked out of the forest to see lyri and Attrei talking with Lia in Attrei's arms, she somehow knew I was there and came to see me. After lia left with her guard Attrei ran after Eyras and dived into the water. Though one problem Attrei cant swim, Lyri and myself dived in after him he latched onto lyri, I hit a nerve in the back of his neck to render him unconcious. Lyri and myself dragged him onto the shore. After Ros managed to bring him around I dived back in after Eyras. Well I ended up hearing him wash up on the shore and I took the easy way back in of riding a wave, though it dumped me clear on the beach and thats when I broke my rib and fractured my ribs, though I didnt realise it at the time because I still had an adrenalin rush.

Ros ended up setting my rib and healing me though my usual trip to leave the isle in search of my brother will have to be delayed because of the injury.

*sits down quietly trying not to disturb the sleeping beauty that I managed to obtain from guilt...She glances around through sullen eyes still thinking of what has happened with the serpent figurine..I know I was just sitting upon the sand, but do they? would they even fathom the ideas of what it is like to loose the one you love because he was hated..traveled alone, roamed without any comfort, support, or someone to talk too...I am sure they dont, everyone has someone..and I have myself...and now I have committed the worse crime to that one person who never fails me..."me" I have allowed my heart to stray into someone elses' how absurd..appaulling...daft. Now I know what I have to do...**begins to write her thoughts upon the small leather bound journal conveying all the deep dark hidden secrets just for her to know that someone is hearing them** I shall move my things from Lyrias, and set up camp somewhere north side of town, I have little means but I am going to go to Alterio for a loan...surely he will give me that...being as though he tried to kill me several times, he owes me that..and tis a loan...I shall pay back every gold piece..properly I assure you. That way Jane can take Lyrias's home without baggage, and she can raise her child as she should alone..who needs a man? why? I still do not understand that...Mayhaps she guilts Alterio like I guilt Benjamin..mayhaps then I can understand it. Bah! this will not happen again..nor will I allow it, if I have to offer myself to Mumphra I will, then Ben is off the hook and can goto Tika, Alterio can prominade around his harem of eagerness, Jane can have everyone flaunting over her, and Vixen can sulk in her own misery...her I connect with...which leads me to think of Mia..I remember that little dear since she was born, what a doll that one is, if I were ever to have a daughter I hope she would be like her, what happend to my little Mia? how did she differ from all of other children Alterio seeded..she shines, she stands out, she is a star...Mia. Mayhaps Jane will be lucky and have a daughter, like her..well I must end this entry now, sorry journal...but I have many things to prepare for, if no one is to find out...*glances over at Ben in the chair and shakes her head she then puts down the ink well, and quill slipping out the door, as to allow no one to see her exit so his reputation is still intact, although there was no chance of it being damaged, she is a lady in heart, and forever will be one.

Everything seems to be going well, finally. Vixen and I are back together, and to this I am very happy. Corgan, an old family friend from the mainland, is coming here in the next two weeks, which is great news. Hopefully his ship will make it here.

However, the Dome was a riot last night, because of some situation with Jasmin and Eyas. Seemingly Mags and Dan wanted a contract worked out for Jasmin and Eyas to date, and Eyas, along with his brother Attrei, strongly disagreed with the need for a contract. Then Mags got angry at Dan....AGAIN....and all hell broke loose. Vixen and I left for home at that point, and by judging from Eyas' behavior earlier tonight at the Dome, more happened than I know.

Startling. But, in spite of all that...

I'm happy.

::sits down quietly and takes the journal from it's resting place as she collects her thoughts a moment, running a hand thru her hair.. She opens the book and taking the wuill, begins to write a bit::

Dear Journal;

Well, I am still here, tho sometimes I think that makes me either stupid or entirely to brave or a combination of both... or is it a 3rd possibility which I will not name here. I would think it is all three.

And well, a little has happened since last I wrote. I spoke to Alianna and we have cleared up any misunderstanding between us. This is a good thing and I am so relieved. I wouldn't ever deliberately hurt her, or Ben for that matter. Something however is amiss with Ben, I don't know what. he seems quite cold, but I have no idea why. Apparently I have slighted him in some way and he is either angry or hurt. Which I can not speculate. Maybe it is both. I don't know. I will eventually figure it out I am sure.

I also had decided to take dance lessons from Attrei. I thought it would be a fine idea and well... quite entertaining.

Oh and I have clients... a couple people have signed up at the office and I was even asked to draw up some mating contracts by Magdelennya & Halfdan (for jasmin).

So.. Let's see... that about does it for current events...To sum up: I have work... I have a hobby .. I have made peace with my friend.. Oh and one more thing, one important thing. Oh and this one is very important. For yes, ... on a certain subject... when asked, I was honest and I told how it is I feel ...... Oh yeah. Big Confession there. And well, I just don't know.

Perhaps that was a mistake. Perhaps I should have continued to resist and just refused to answer or I could have hidden behind anger or some other emotion. Well this time I didn't, and how this will all turn on itself, well that I do not know. ... We'll just see.

What happens... happens

Dearest Journal..

Today I ran into someone from my past, this brings new meaning to my stay here...it is with great pleasure that he accepted to come to the island for a holiday, and mayhaps a whole move..it pleases me to no end to see him, for he was a great friend on the mainland, and now a thought of him coming here...I am very excited and plan to make his holiday a remembral one. At this very moment he is making arrangement with the registration office. Soon I can show him the perks of the island, starting off with the nude cage dancers..I know he will love that. Well I must go head off to accomadate him, tis a good thing I have placed an order for construction..I may need it one day.
