Diakaryu grows more powerful everyday, and I can do nothing but sit here and
watch. I feel powerless against him and yet I know that I could defeat him under
the right circumstances... My choices are growing more narrow everyday. Soon I
shall have to choose or be crushed between them...

Kiril and I arrived in Nunverhill before Dawn this morning. There was barely a
sound to be heard as I climbed off Kiril's horse. Horses don't like me much, so
Kiril let's me ride with him. He doesn't seem to mind much...and neither do I...
So anyway, we
walked to the cabin, unmolested, oddly enough, but when we walked inside, there
were bodies everywhere! They weren't dead, but just...everywhere. I could make
out Booger in the dark, I was happy about that, and Teika and Tinker. I finally
found a spot to curl up in amongst them all and went to sleep. Kiril got mad
someone else was sleeping in his bed, so he stormed off to sleep in the
woods....I think. I didn't sleep well.
The sun had finally come up when I opened my eyes again...and then I wished I
hadn't. Booger was talking with everyone, but when I looked at him, he had no
head! Was just a neck...and talking. I nearly jumped out of my bed and screamed!
It was the most horrible thing I had ever seen, and everyone was just sitting
around like nothing was wrong! Just...NO HEAD! How was he talking? It was
all very disturbing. At least he was alive? Apparently it seems he was Fae
cursed for something he did (it is Booger after all). I finally just overlooked
the fact that he had no head (cuz that's easy to do), and we set about trying to
find a way to get it back.
At one point later that evening, Booger and Spindle, I think, or maybe Cerebus
had found a red cap...cap. Maybe not found, maybe killed the owner and got it
(which wouldn't surprise me since Booger already had NO head!). Anyway, Booger
thought it would be funny to try and put it on my head...a bloody red cap cap.
As if... So that turned into a wrestling match. Now, if you don't know
Booger...he's tall and much bigger then I am. I'm like a tiny ant compared to
his big cricket self. Mmmmm, well now I'm hungry. But anyway, as I was saying,
we broke out fighting cuz he was trying to put it on my head, and I didn't want
him too. So we wrestled about a bit, until finally I prevailed and his cricket
self had to plead for mercy. I would have put it on his head, but he didn't have
one! Blech...
Eventually some Fae Hunter guy came by and told us about a Fae way to get
Boogers head back. Have I ever mentioned that I hate Fae? Anyway, this had Fae
written all over it and I didn't want to go, but I had too. Booger needed his
head back (it really is pretty disturbing to look at), and I know he'd help me
if I needed it, so it seemed I was stuck. Blah! So off we went... I don't even
want to get into what happened. Let's just say that this guy has a fetish for
heads, and Boogers head was his new play toy. Though now that I think back on
the whole scene...Kiril was kinda cute all furry. I just wish I could have
touched him...

How does he do it? How does he always find? It's scary actually. He could be
watching me right now, and I'd never know. My fiends have identified me and the
items he gave me, but have found nothing. Maybe the items are like the kobold
sword, yes? Maybe they do more then the circle claims? I dunno...however he does
it, it's driving me insane. I never know what is going to happen, or when. Like
now...here I sit in a room. It is not mine, but it could be. The blankets are as
soft, and the furniture as nice. A fire burns in the fireplace nearby, and
yet...it is an illusion. I am not home, I am locked away in a prison, though a
pretty one. I would lack for nothing I am sure, but I cannot stay in this place.
I just wonder when he will finally get around to beating me so that I can go
home. He found me walking home from Nunverhill this afternoon. Booger and Teika
had already left for Tyrangel, and since nothing was really happening in
Nunverhill, I had left early. I turned at a tap on my shoulder, and then
suddenly there he was...with that black portal behind him. Though it was not yet
night, the colors in the sky seemed to be sucked into the inkiness. He bid me
enter, and I shook my head. It scared me as it always does, as HE always does.
Of course, I had no choice, though the pain from the punch still caught me off
guard.
I woke up here...and though I have left the room since that time, I wish I
hadn't. I thought when I awoke, that maybe Arainyn had redecorated while I was
away. Sometimes he's sweet like that/ But after cleaning up, and walking out the
door, I realized I was not in Drakemyre anymore. I would have run, but where
would I go? The next part is mostly a blur...I remember some guys with red hair
and tattoos on their faces. And then wolves...and blood, my blood. I don't
really know what happened, though I'm sure I was fighting something or someone.
And now here I am. I cannot leave, I don't even know where I am. How would I get
home? Maybe he'll let me go in the morning...

Well I don't know what happened, but I woke up this morning in MY bed.
Odd...maybe I was dreaming?

Xan came by for a visit today. The manor house is getting lonely now that
Arainyn has left to check up on his people, so I was glad for the company. He
threw a few rocks at my window to get my attention, and then we went out to the
woods nearby and played hide and seek. I won the first round...of course, but
then he was easy to find since bushes don't normally shake. Sadly, our game was
cut short, and we never got to finish. Oh well, maybe next time...playmates are
getting hard to come by as of late. Even Dustyn doesn't visit anymore.

The strangest letter came for me today. It was supposedly from Arainyn, telling me it
was ok to marry Kiril, but this can't be right. Arainyn wouldn't misspell his
name. I will have to write him and ask about it...
1-29-02 (Tuesday)
Normally I would hope that people appreciate the things I do for them, but
sadly, it seems they will never know. Even I would forget if I could. My friends
have no idea, my family has no idea, and my people have no idea...yet I still do
it. And if they knew, would they even car? Maybe I do it for myself...?

I have received a letter. Diakaryu claims he will leave me be. I guess we shall
see how his promise holds up. I give him less then a week and a poor excuse.
