I am free. I have had a smile on my lips for most of the day. It feels so good too finally get it all over and out in the open.

The air has been cleared and Elune has sent a blessing upon us. No longer will I run.

I cannot believe I am the same woman that sat in a miserable heap on the steps of the Cathedral, last night, demanding the humans' God to give me guidance. I had stop sending my prayers to Elune. I should have known she would not abandon me. I know it was she that sent me the dream last night, showing me my life as an old crone, all alone. And showing me a vision of Eius, his soul twisted with hatred and a deathbringer being relentlessly hunted.

I recall and shake my head at the misery I inflicted upon myself and Eius. Even poor Hanse! I am lucky he found it in his heart to forgive me. I release the guilt I felt for loving someone when my heart was supposed to belong to another.

Ah, and the shame I felt last night when I treated Eius so badly in front of Hotara. Instead of being a healer, I just brought more pain. That is not me. I am not made to be in the dark, it is not my nature. I cannot wallow around in self-pity, any longer. I made myself crazy with all my doubts.

I have been released, free to love, free to share. I could not hold back anymore, from telling Eius the truth of my feelings, of my worries. Imagine my suprise when he revealed his own. Who would have thought a man, so bent on being alone, so bent on holding everyone at arms length, could speak such words that released my fears.

I know now, I do not have to hide. Not from him, not from Elune, nor my friends.

Elune's mercy shines within me even brighter now.

So, I close you now little journal of misery, bound in black. I will bury you deep within the snow, far from my new home, and wash my hands clean of all the taint this past months have held.

I will begin my life anew.
