It looks like Val wont be home again tonight. Now that im not so busy it seems he is. Well i have been busy but have made sure to leave the Boutique early to spend time with him. But he is busy trying to get his own potions shop open the last few days.

Not sure I want to go to dome tonight and listen to the idiots. I havent been to the resort in a while, I think I may take a couple of guards and head there later tonight and maybe come back tomorrow. At least its quiet there right now and no guests so i wont have to work. Just catch up on some reading and relax for a while maybe. All orders at the Boutique and Furniture shoppe are caught up and been delivered. So no worries there.

::sits on a lounger on his balcony overlooking the waters::

Since my arrival here, it's been nothing but havoc. I do believe that I was even going on the right track until a few eves ago. Wait wait. Perhaps I should back things up a bit.

I guess my tragedy of a life started back on the mainland a long time ago. I had ventured out on my own at a young age, 100 I think. I had come across a pub of some sort, and only sought out a night's shelter. Behold, I had found many new faces in which I liked. So I decided to stay for a while. Ahh, I had met many friends, and made many enemies as well.

::puts his journal down and takes a drink from his tequila he stashed from the Dome. He picks the ledger up and begins to write again::

One of the people I had met on the mainland was a feisty Elf named Lyrias. I had adored her. I even joined a knighthood just to be with her. The days passed by as I trained hard to become a great Warrior. Ahhh, my only flaw that I saw, was that I have a temper.. and a bad one at that. One wrong look could end up in a bloody brawl. ::puts the quill down, trying to collect his thoughts. After several hours of thinking, he begins to write again::

Now, I should reflect on my 'relationship' with that Elf. As I said before I joined a knighthood just to be with her. Ha! I even sat idly by and watched her wed another.

"Oh, but I still love you Neo." So, like a fool, I sat by, and waited, and waited, and waited. Not seeing any improvements on my behalf, and being the good guy I am, I left. I left the very place I called 'home'. She was happy, I loved her enough to let that be. I left to go back to my village and seek out my brother, and rekindle our brotherhood.

Many years had passed with my brother. We had a lot of good laughs together. The Elder, needing him to seek out something, had called him. Bah, I wish I had went with him.

After his departure, I decided to go back to the Inn in which I had left many friends behind to find out it was leveled by forces unknown! That is when I decided to leave the mainland, and search out for adventure. And I came across a man leaving on a ship to a place he called the 'Den of Sin'. With such a name, how could I refuse? I left with him, and many days later I arrived here.

::drops the quill and takes another long drink of the tequila. Looking out over the waters, he writes again::

On my first visit, who did I see? It was her, Lyrias. I was so happy! And she was unwed!! We decided to try things out again, and this is where I start my downfall.

She says I am too violent. So I went to Eyas for advice. He said that I shouldn't lay aside my weapon, but just curve the violent side a bit. That is when I met a man named Sarlath. I guess he overheard Lyrias telling others that I was nothing but a 'cry baby'. Is that what I get called for asking advice?! Thats when the whole dome seemed to explode with anger. I do not kow exactly what happened, for I was outside trying to cool off, and not be violent. When I returned inside, she insulted me for not getting Sarlath!! I wish she would make up her damned mind. I was also told she was swinging at anthing in a three foot radius. Do as I say, and not as I do huh?

Anyway, I am a fool for thinking that I could try and relive the past that really didn't 'happen' in the first place. I was a fool for waiting then, and will be now. I give up. No more of this shit. I am who I am, and if she doesn't except that, then oh well.
