Jerrath: June 20

     Mostly I just hang around right now. I do my best to keep law and order in Jerrath and try to enforce the laws of the land as given by the great black dragon, Kael. Many do not seem to understand that I work for Kael and I too have to follow the rules. They either think I'm making them up on the spot, or they're asking me to break them. It's a strange world. Do they not think I won't get in trouble for disobeying too? I've already seen a dragon fall since my ascension. I do not wish to follow that same path to despair.

     I do a little of this and a little of that for the clans and for people who request it of me. I do not archive those things in this journal, for fear of this one day being published and letting out another's secrets. All the journals of all the greats are always published. When I started my journal, I was thinking it'd be published after my death to show the works of what I hoped would be a great enchantress. Now immortality threatens me. I will never be recognized for any work I do as an enchantress, for my being a dragon will overshadow it. At times I feel that I am the victim of racism. Why do they treat me such, just because I'm a dragon?

Jerrath: June 19

     Today I decided to go help Magic Dude with the fire quest. He'd got this cool maze thing and I thought he might need some help. I followed him around mostly bugging him to let me help. It was very tragic but he fell into the lava. I'm not sure what happened, I think he tripped somehow. Maybe it was a gust of heat coming up from the lava that caught his wings and knocked him off balance? He really should be more careful. Later he came back to try again and fell off the mountain. I think he's had one too many to drink.

Kehle pushes Magic Dude into the lava.

Jerrath: June 18

     Today I went out in my red dragon form. I was very surprised and overjoyed to find my son had grown up into a blue lizard. It seems like just yesterday he was a young, green thing. He looks so much like his father. He brings me great pride and I'm happy to call him my son.

     I oversaw the construction of a road today. The road had already been started in Wayreth and at The Wayreth Inn, but for some reason it had never been finished. It seem the construction crew was afraid of the murders that hang on on the path between Wayreth and the Wayreth Inn -also known as just The Inn. I know this is a very dangerous place. Often times young people that wish to go buy new gear, spells, or repair as unable to do so because of the bullies, hoodlums, murderers, and cut throats that hang out on that path.

Jerrath: June 17

     This was a day mostly spent trying to get used to the fact that I am a dragon now. I'd always thought I was just a human, but it turns out I was wrong. Hmm, that seems to happen a lot. But I guess Revolation has more than one reptile parent. Strange but he looks full lizard, not dragon half. I guess this makes him a demigod now? That might be why he's getting so strong. He might become stronger than his father. He might even become stronger than NeoHades one day. I wonder if his power will ever grow so strong he ascends and brings out the dragon in himself?

Jerrath: June 16

     I spent most the day just hanging out with people. Since I ascended a couple of day ago, I have no need to train anymore. And I had been working hard too. Krisline and I were in a friendly competition to see who would reach the appropriate rank to make the coven official and become Coven Mother. It seems she's on that road alone now. But I have faith in her ability to lead the coven. Others might only see that mean side of her, but I know better. Of course I won't slander her in public by letting everyone know she's nice. That would be rude.

     I made a chocobo stable in my office today to keep my pet chocobo in. My chocobo seemed to love the game of cat and mouse we spent most the day doing. He'd come put himself in his pen, then ask others to let him out. He'd run off pretending to get away and then come back and put himself in it again. Grey chocobos are strange ones. Later he took be down to some cave and crowned me queen of YFC.

     Though it has been discovered I am now a dragon. At this time my new found powers are still a little strange and scary to me. I prefer to move around in the form of a human woman.

Jerrath: June 13

     I trained a lot today. I did all my training in the magical town of Kurgan, which sits atop Maguis Mountain  I was there with my coven sister Krisline and our mage friend Adahn. We mostly followed him around and I tried to steal most his kills. We helped each other by casting rest and keeping each other company. Though he did end up killing her and I had to kill him to avenge the death of my coven sister. She's on the road to being Coven Mother one day.

     I left Kurgan to go play in a game of wits. Some of them dropped out of the game quickly and some held on for some time. Puppet and I held out the longest. But then he wouldn't be the father of my child if he was just another dumb sword monkey. Puppet might have a funny name, but he's got some brains in him. Finally about the 21 question, I goofed and missed it. Puppet was the winner. But then he already won the greatest prize anyone could ask for, custody of my only son, Revolution.

Jerrath: June 12

     Today I found a frog and decided to call him Hoppy. Hoppy distracted me from my training in Kurgan and hoped away. I had to follow. I just had to.

     I followed the little froggy all the way back to Wayreth and Speedy's house. There I was surprised when Magic Dude turned the frog into Speedy. I sure hope Speedy doesn't get mad that there's a frog that looks just like him now. I know I would be. I sat down at Speedy's table And was promptly killed by Magic Dude. When I woke up I was back at the inn again.

Jerrath: June 11

     Today I trained, trained, and trained some more. I no longer train near Nende however. It seems the invisible stalkers I have been training on the last couple of days have learned new ways of avoiding my magic. They have become to strong for me to injure at all. At least I don't think I injured them, either that or they all lost their voices and I just no longer hear them cry out. Either way I've moved my training to Kurgan. That is fitting though, it is the place for magic users such as myself.

Jerrath: June 10

     I have joined a coven. The Sisters of the Coven. Today I happened to go down into the dungeon following the cries of help. I found Zim there. It seems Krisline slipped something into his drink the night before and this morning he found himself in the dungeon. Good thing I slept in the Tree House last night, or I might not have heard his cries during breakfast.

     After freeing Zim -and finishing my breakfast- I traveled down to Nende to sell a load of claymores I had. There I found Adahn again and we spent a great deal of the day just hanging out in Nende. We talked magic a lot. . a whole lot. I did a great deal of studying and practiced my enchanting arts. I felt like I've learned a lot today and now am fit to be called a medium.

     I shed my charlatan garbs and tossed my staff into some lava. I was really getting tired of carrying that heavy piece of wood with me everywhere I went. I found my old friend Sharek near the place I was training my arts. He was the first to get to see me in my new makeover. We girls like to change our appearances up from time to time.

     Not much else to speak about today since I spent most of it training. Kris and I are both doing our best to get powerful for the coven's sake. The other clans in Jerrath won't recognize us as official until one of us is a lot stronger. The odd thing is it doesn't matter which, the strongest one doesn't have to be the Coven Mother.

Jerrath: June 9

     Today I decided to go to the campfire. I like to hang out there often, it's a nice place. I used to sleep there and sometimes staying up late with my friends I get too tired to walk all the way home and just sleep there again. Polter came by and had some marshmallows. He made the mistake of running back to the inn for something and when he came back his roasted marshmallows had melted in the fire and fell off the sticks. Really, that's what happened.

     Krisline showed up and also had a seat on the bench with me and Polter. He thought he'd died and gone to maguis heaven. He had an enchantress sitting on either side of him. Adahn showed up as well. So that made the numbers even. We were just having fun picking on each other and then Polter had to run off. Krisline was picking on Adahn, saying he was hers. She kept saying she was going to take him away to her dungeon and torture him endlessly. We ran back to the inn and I had Adahn sit in the corner, so Kris had to go through me to get to him. He picked on her then saying she should act as our barmaid. She got upset and left, but soon came back. We might pick on each other ruthlessly, but we're still all friends.

     There was a team gladiator held today. I knew I'd die quickly if I tried. My son, Revolution and my old friend Skitz tried to get me to join their team, but I didn't want to drag them down. If they had to concentrate on protecting me, they wouldn't be able to fight their best. Stealer and Master Thief wanted to join. They were at the inn trying to get people to join their team, but none would. There was a little shaman enchantress -Gelteroit- there and I convinced her to join their team since she wanted to go to the event as well. I tried to find a fourth member for them, but could not. Finally they talked me into joining as their fourth member. I knew I'd fall quickly, but I figured it would be fun anyway.

     My team went last, so I got to watch Skitz and Rev's team win. My son is so big and strong, it won't be long before he's even stronger than his father. I'm so proud of him. A mother couldn't ask for a better child.

     Piggy was on the other team and killed me as soon as the gladiator started. I knew he would. When you are defeated in the gladiator a magical spell takes you back to the inn. I was sad that I didn't get to watch my team fight. I hear Stealer and Master Thief held their own for some time. The other team knew it's tactics though and took us enchantresses out first knowing we are the deadliest with our ranged magical attacks. But I was right from the beginning. I was the first to fall, fell before I saw anyone do anything, but it was fun anyway.

     After that even the white dragon Magic Dude warped me to a cage in the forest. The one near the big sign that says, 'Do Not Go In'. He warped Speedy there as well and then Draub. I was worried. I was trapped in a dangerous place where people would kill me and there wasn't the magical protection there is in an arena. Magic Dude also warped Skitz there and I thought I was dead for sure, but Draub jumped in the way of Skitz's blade protecting me with his life. My magic is not strong enough to defend myself against someone like Skitz. Draub quickly healed and returned for his gear he'd dropped. Upon doing this he opened the cage door and I was able to run away.

     I ran to Lake Quintal, it's a good lake and a nice place to sit and think. Only I didn't feel like just sitting today. Instead I went for a swim. No one would join me, but for some reason they gathered to watch me. Hasn't anyone ever seen an enchantress swimming before?

The Dragon Gods put me in the water, I was trapped and couldn't get out.

Jerrath: June 8

     Slow day again today. I've decided I might try my hand at training again. I went up to Kurgan to practice my magic on the poor, defenseless chocobos trapped in a stable. This is why I stopped training. I can only practice magic on poor, little, furry creatures. Jerrath is such a world of death and corruption. Everyone wants to kill everything else in sight.

     Obe came while I and Polter were training. He tried to speak to me, but Polter kept saying Obe was a dishonored mage, that I shouldn't speak to him. I do remember Obe once tried to scam me, back before I started writing this journal, early in the year. I know he has looted and tried to scam others as well, I hear them speak of it. And back in March I think it was he tried to get me to start acting like a partner with him in his looting. I refused.

Jerrath: June 6

     Today was a slow day of trying to get and hold people's attention. I spend a lot of the day sitting outside the inn again. Even though I'm no longer going to be a part of YFC, I decided to try my hand at making a deal. I sold Thief Master asmishi armor for 180K. While we were conducting our little deal in the upstairs of the Wayreth Inn, Toss and Master Thief came up there to do some business of their own. We all conducted business about the same time and there was no trouble. All went well. When it was over I sat at the table with Master Thief and Toss to have a chat. It was nothing big, just small talk, but I enjoyed it anyway.

     I did have a little trouble from Seph of RM today. He was sexually harassing me and just wouldn't stop. I grew very angry of course and had to report him. No woman likes to be spoken to in such a manner.

Jerrath: June 2

     Today was one of those interesting days. When I came out of my room today a warrior with the strange name of Silenced was sitting in the Grape Post. I spoke to him. He said he was a friend of Speedy's and any friend of Speedy's is a friend of mine. He walked me back to the Wayreth Inn, however when we got there he was challenged by someone called Mad Wog. I'm not sure, but that sounds like a mafia type of name to me. I mean who else would be called a mad wog. . I don't even know what a wog is.

Mad Wog won his fight with Silenced at the Newbie Land Coli. Kreepy Clown (another gangster name) showed up and started picking fights with all. He didn't seem to care that I was just there to watch, he came after me too. I ran out as soon as I could. Silenced found me outside the coli and comforted me. I was so scared. I didn't want to die. . . isn't there a code among magic users or something? Well there should be.

     Oh the horror! My good friend DD -Daring Devil- has been magically transformed into a rabbit. But, then again he was very cute and cuddly. Perhaps I should try and keep him. Piggy won't mind sharing the stable I don't have yet. Not having one yet, makes it easier to share.

     I spent a lot of time outside the inn today. Since I've decided not to join Yelia Fencer Caste, there is no reason for me to train my magic and get strong enough to enter the clan. It's odd. I didn't think they liked me, but here's Daring in his cute little bunny form. He agreed to be my general and dye his fur pink. My alter ego The Evil wants to take over Jerrath with an army of pink fuzzy bunnies.

     Today was a day to be surrounded by animals. Hmm, come to think of it, humans are animals too. Well I meant the none human type of animal. while at the inn, Piggy and a squirrel of deadly speed showed up, as did Magic Dude, Mashi, and Luc. Of course I don't mind at all. The reason I sit at the inn is so when injured people are brought back and feel better they will see me when they step outside the inn. I hope they stop to talk, so I sit on a bench and wait for people to greet. People who are injured all over Jerrath are brought back to the Wayreth Inn.

Jerrath: June 1

     Not much of anything too out of the ordinary happened today. It was Ciara's birthday. I hunted, hunted, and hunted some more, but I could never find my sister to wish her happy birthday.

     I was standing outside the Wayreth entrance to say hi to anyone that might pass my way. A small group starting forming and for some odd reason we all lined up as if standing in ranks. Others came by and stood in rank too. Or maybe it was a protest and they forgot to tell me what we were protesting? Hmm. I hope I don't get in trouble for that. Years from now when Rev is trying to run for some public office it'll come back that his mother once stood in a protest. . . But I swear, I didn't know we were protesting!!

     Much later in the evening I was all the way out in Menath. I go to Menath a lot. It's become my favorite town. Skitz showed up and complained about his back. It seems that being a dragon is pretty tough. His hide and scales had gotten dry, so I was nice enough to put some oil on his back. He says that being rubbed down with oil really helps a lot. 

Jerrath: May 27

     I played that game with Piggy that Speedy often plays with me. I ran all over Jerrath, making Piggy chase me and find me. He's pretty good at the game. Though there was one time I doubled back real quick and hid behind a building. He ran right past me. He then used our magical bond to call out to me and ask me where I was. I answered him out loud that I didn't know where I was. He knew that since I could answer out loud I was close by. It was a fun game.

Jerrath: May 24

     I dreamed that Speedy was an angel woman. He looked the way that Ciara once hoped to look if she trained hard and learned many things of her class, the fem fatale. I must say though that the look would be better on a woman. It's a shame to see a great man like Speedy reduced to legs and breast. But on the other hand, now he knows how painful they are to have. . . or he would if it wasn't just a dream. I have these dreams so often now that I tend to forget which is the real world and which is the Beta. At times I think I forget if I'm Kehle or The Evil. It's a strange experience. I hope I won't develop a split personality. That would be scary.

Jerrath: May 23

     Today Kael was hanging around so his devoted followers could mob him some more. He's a strange one. One of the crowd asked him why he was purple. I made the offhanded comment it was to excite me. Kael agreed that was his reason. Skitz heard this and decided he too needed to be purple. Those silly dragons teasing a simple girl like me. . . I know I don't really call that much attention to myself or get noticed by such as dragon gods. I'm just a normal looking boulder. 

     Skitz then decided that he and Kael could not be the same color and that if Kael was going to be purple, Skitz would be black. I know enough about magic and dragons to know they were just using their gods powers to change their scale color. You see a dragon's true color tells you of the power that dragon holds. There is a hierarchy among dragons. The black one rules all.

     Despite that I am just a normal everyday girl, the dragons did see it fitting to invite me to have a drink with them. This is a great honor for me. I dined among gods! This is the type of thing you tell grandchildren. This will bring my family honor for generations to come. My son, Rev should be proud of his mother -maybe he would be if his father, Puppy, would give me visitation. The gods even saw it fitting to return me to my normal self. I once again feel like the charlatan I am.

Jerrath: May 22

     I had this horrible dream that Skitz and Speedy kept fighting over me. I switched from one clan to the other over and over and over. Skitz was my first friend and I once thought about joining Chaos Factor, but then I had changed my mind thinking I could not belong there. Yelia Fencer Clan seemed more my style and level of kindness. Though, back during my wild days with Ruthie, it was being told Chaos Factor could not loot that caused me to stop my mean and reckless ways of youth. I said nothing about my joining either clan during this part of my dream. What could I do? Speedy is one of the nicest people I know and Skitz has a sexy accent. Of course neither of those would ever be reason why I would or would not join a clan. This dream did bother me enough that when I woke up I began to have doubts. I started to think I should never join either clan at all. It's just a dream though. I shouldn't let dreams get to me. We're all friends and all is good in the waking world. In fact other than that Skitz seemed to have one too many to drink, all seemed pretty calm and friendly in the dream world of Beta as well.

     Someone that was having more trouble in the real world than in my dreams is Kael. Never in my wildest Beta dreams did I ever imagine him being mobbed so by devoted followers. He is a much kinder and more patient dragon than the rumors suggest. I fear that if I were him I'd have become enraged by the mob at it's start. He never seemed mad at all. I know because I followed from a distance. I am a herpetologist after all and dragons are reptiles too. I had to study his behavior and take notes. I hung back with Speedy and Skitz. In fact Speedy said he feared Skitz would feel left out, for he too is a dragon god, but was not being followed by a mob. So, Speedy and I mobbed Skitz to make him feel better.

     Meanwhile Kael was trying to tell his followers to all line up to get autographs. The crowd was so fanatic and wild that they could not hear even the black dragon god -who had changed himself purple- over their own cries to him. He called out for them to line up again and again, but it was a long time before they would listen. After watching them all line up and get their autographs, I decided I too might need one. It'd be a nice thing to have or sale. So I jumped into the line, cut in front of some poor kid and got myself an autograph.

Jerrath: May 14

     Sometimes when I dream one person or another will add myself and Speedy into groups, clans, factions, and guilds we do not wish to be in. Someone thought it'd be funny -or he got drunk at a strip joint and was tricked- and signed Speedy and The Evil into some weird sex cult. We of course ran and hid until it could all be worked out and our names forever removed from the mailing list for that cult. It's at times like this that I'm really glad Beta is just a dream and I'm not really The Evil. I wake up and find I am still the same, sweet Kehle. Well I can be mean when I'm mad, but I'm never as bad as The Evil. Speedy is always his same, tolerate self. He's a nice guy.

Jerrath: May 13

     It was one of those strange days again. It all started out just fine. I hung out with Ciara and some others in Menath where I did a little training. I went back to the inn and hung out with Draub some as well. The day started normal enough. But then I looked over into the pool of water in front of The Inn and saw that the huge bolder there could move. I then found out it wasn't a rock at all, but was Zimfier. I can't really remember the events all that well. Magic Dude showed up and turned himself into a rock as well with his dragon powers. Booty came by and asked me to go back to her place, but I told her I wanted to stay and watch the rocks. Next thing I know Booty and I as rocks are trapped in the pool of water. I had this strange feeling Booty had been killing people earlier and knew they needed to be avenged. I pommeled myself into her until she crushed into many pieces.

     Zim tried to get Booty and I to sit on a cliff near the Inn as rocks. However I knew that spot to be poorly protected and often overran by murderers and cut throats. I fled. Zim warped me back. I ran again. Again he warped me back and tried to tell me to stay. I tried to obey, but someone came by with a rock crusher, so I ran . . er rolled away again. 

     I fled to the campfire where I sat, looking very much like a rock. In fact the dragons had done such a good job of polymorphing me, that others could not tell I was not just a rock unless I rolled. Some began to think I was an all knowing rock and would ask me questions. But those silly people just couldn't understand that rocks can't speak. Piggy knew it was me. Our magical bond of enchantress and familiar was still there and just as strong. I did roll over on him a few times. . but he shook it off. He's a good little pig. Wait, come to think of it he started running around trying to buy a rock crusher. Oh well I don't need to worry. Pigs can't use rock crushers anyway. He has to stick to magic. His little pig feet can't hold physical weapons. Though at times he will use his magical powers to polymorph himself into a human form. His power there seems limited and once he's done this, it's very hard for him to get back to his natural state once again.

Jerrath: May 12

     Today was a day like any other. Speedy ran to hide, and I had to go hunt him down. I hung out with friends and did little to no training at all. Speedy seems to be getting upset with me for not training, but I just don't like to sit around all day killing things or people. Doesn't anyone else think that's a bit mean and evil?

     I spent most the night dreaming I was The Evil looking for Speedy. Scorpio too played the game a bit, but he cheated. He used his magic to teleport to where Speedy was. If I had that type of magic, Speedy would never be able to flee again. Maybe I should train my magic so it will grow that strong? I also dreamed that Kael showed himself in Beta. He was a hungry dragon. It was my turn to run. Lucky for me, Speedy has strange magical powers in Beta too. He was able to use his magic to pull me from Kael's view. Oddly enough that doesn't seem to stop Kael from being able to kill me. The black dragon god can end anyone's life from anywhere without targeting. Makes running seem a little pointless.

Jerrath: May 11

     Another day of sitting around with friends who ask me silly things like why I don't train more. Silly people. Life isn't just about killing ya know?

     The dream world of Beta was pretty much the same. Only since I was The Evil I did more than just talk. I cast a few spells and even swung a sword or two. It's odd, but when I dream I'm The Evil I know a bit more about swords and I'm stronger, both defensively and offensively. I wake up and feel weaker. Then I remember my magic is stronger in the real world, when I'm awake than it is when I'm dreaming I'm The Evil.

     Sometimes The Evil can sit around and speak in a friendly manner to those around her. Most often she feels the great desire to do more than just talk. Often in this dream world a boy known as Monkey will stand very still for long periods at a time. The Evil finds great joy in killing this boy countless numbers of times. She has seemed to have infected Speedy as well and he too will sometimes just stand there killing the boy over, and over, and over, and over. 

     As The Evil I joined the Holy Order. A special group that devotes it's time to spreading the word about the dragon gods and doing their deeds. Unfortunately for Monkey, the Holy Order I joined as The Evil was for Magic Dude. Everyone knows he's evil and wishes the death of all sword monkeys everywhere. Die sword monkey, die!! The Evil is the manifested physical essence of the wrath of all women everywhere.

Jerrath: May 10

     The day itself uneventful. I hung out with Ciara some, and with Ruthie some. Ruthie must go away on a long trip that will keep her away and hidden from the rest of Jerrath until late in August. I will miss her, so I spent the day with her contemplating barrels on piers. We ended up figuring that the barrels were full of spring water from Lake Quintal. Ruthie tested the water and it was good. Or so she said. I don't like water, so I didn't try it.

     Before I won a room to sleep in Ruthie was one of the few who slept out at the campfire near The Inn with me. I had taken to calling her my room mate, despite there was no room to share at the campfire. Ruthie is a good friend and a decent person. In our younger days we were a bit wild and reckless. We stole our shares of kills and picked up our share of other peoples' hard earned trophies. We may have even looted a peer or two. We were young, so we never got more than a handful of gold and a cap from it. If we were really lucky we might find a flail that wasn't broken too much. Ah, those were the days. . . wouldn't wish them back. But it's good to think back on your past and to reflect on how you've grown as a person and to know you are wiser for everything that happened to you, good or bad.

Jerrath: May 9

     I had that dream again. The one where I'm in some alternate version of Jerrath called Beta. The odd thing about this world is that even though I'm different, and most everyone else is different in some way. There are some people that are the same. I mean it makes sense that the dragon gods are not different here. But Speedy is the same ol' nice guy in Beta that he is in Jerrath. Of course it's all just a dream anyway. None of it is real. . .is it?

     Speedy plays the same game here as he plays in Jerrath. My dream self is pretty mean and nothing like my real self at all, but she seems to enjoy the same as much as I do. Maybe in a different way, but she still enjoys a good game of hide and seek. I ran all over Menath looking for him, and wouldn't you know it. He was in Yelia. Boy is that a long run just to find someone. But it was one of those weird dreams where we were the only two people alive in Beta. That seems to happen a lot.

Jerrath: May 9

     The day started out in Menath today. I'm there a lot. I think I might move there one day. It's a nice little place. Piggy -called such because he's a pig- came to me, but then he started in on how he wanted to kill me. I tried to give him away. I tried to sell him. I yelled at people who thought they could take him for free. I'd only claim to give my familiar to a friend for free. Though no one seemed to realize you can't just end the bond between familiar and enchantress that easily. It's a magical bond. Piggy likes to threaten me and Ciara. I just ask someone to scare him for me or threaten to feed him to a friend. Sometimes these things get him to acting right again, sometimes they don't. Pigs are odd familiars to have anyway, and I guess this is why you don't hear of more magic users with them. They turn on you so fast. . .

     I went to Hemlock for the first time today. Piggy had a very hard time finding me. He used our magical connection to call out to me, asking me where I was. I told him where I was, but wouldn't tell him how to find me. Mashi found me however and we ran around Hemlock and it's surrounding area. It was just another one of those times where it doesn't really matter what I'm doing, because I'm doing it with a friend. It was a pleasant day.

     Piggy did manage to make his way Hemlock and even found Mashi and myself. The three of us didn't do all that much. We just sat around and talked, joked, and had a good time just being friends. Some days go pretty well in Jerrath. I live for days like this.

Jerrath: May 8

     Today was just another nice day. Nothing extraordinary or strange happened, but good things did still come. I trained with Ciara some more. I also went off to train my magic alone for a bit. I then ran into good friends, like Speedy and Draub. We sat and talked and had a nice time. When you have good friends around you, you don't need extraordinary events to occur. It's nice just to be with them, to know they are near and will be there for you.

     Here in Jerrath some friends seem to come and go as quickly as the wind. People often just up and disappear. It is a dangerous world out there and I guess not everyone that gets lost can be found. I am grateful for those of my friends that don't get lost and stick around. I like to take time every now and then to stop and say hi to my friends to let them know how much I enjoy having them around. I'm not sure that points gets across all the time.

Jerrath: May 7

     Today was one of those slow days. Nothing too strange or wonderful happened. It was just a nice day of sisterly bonding as Ciara and I trained together. She helps me a lot and I seem to learn more with her around than I do on my own. I like the company and I've taken to using a sword a few times. It's nice to have her there to show me how that is done and give me pointers on my form. Until I find some one that can teach me new and more powerful enchanting spells, I have to supplement my training with a sword.

Jerrath: April 28

     Almost every day in the land of Jerrath is a strange day. I was just walking around, minding my own business when I heard a nasty rumor that Speedy was stuck in the Chaos Factor's clan house jail. I was greatly worried about my friend. I had heard that Chaos Factor and Yelia Fencer Clan were allies. By the time I got to Wayreth to check things out, it'd gotten worse. Daring Devil had tried to bust his boss out of jail and was caught himself by the lizard Sharek. Being the herpetologist I am, I'm on good terms with most the lizards of Chaos Factor. I saw Sharek outside the clan house and he allowed me to follow him inside. However, once inside I decided not to go straight to jail. I ran to Skitz room instead to see if he could help. He was not home. I tried Puppy, then all the other rooms, but it seemed that all the clan was out somewhere. . . all but Sharek who should never have eaten the purple mushrooms. Someone should warn him about those.

     Sharek and I sat down for some tea to discuss the release of DD and Speedy. After awhile he asked if I wanted to see some secret tunnels. He was acting friendly enough so I didn't think there would be harm. I was wandering around, lost in the tunnels when I suddenly found myself in the jail. DD and Speedy had already been released due to my good charms. It seems I should have charm my own safe release out of Sharek too.

     Speedy and DD gathered a mob outside the Chaos Factor clan house -they should name those things cool estate names. The mob that had gathered was no match for the mad, mushroom-eating, lizard Sharek. He stepped out to laugh at them, but did come to let me out after awhile. DD and I followed Speedy to his place and later Sharek showed up as well. DD and I trapped him between us in the garden. He pulled some quick, lizard climbing move and got away. Later we all went for drinks at the Sleepy Eye in Menath where Sharek was killed by a PK Avenger.

Jerrath: April 26

     Nothing out of the ordinary has been happening, and therefore I've been forgetting to write in my journal. I've been really busy training really hard. Things happen however. I have met most the lizards of the clan of Chaos Factor. Not a single one of them seems to mind me laying claim to them. I've made other friends I haven't mentioned yet as well. I spend all my time either training or hanging out with friends.

     I was very close to becoming a herpetologist and getting myself into the Chaos Factor to study all my pet lizards. I thought long and hard about it, but have decided instead to follow Speedy. Speedy says it's stalking, but I say it's not. I'm just following around my mentor trying to learn from him.

Jerrath: April 17

     I started to have that strange dream again, only this time the world of Jerrath Beta was empty of all others. I looked and looked and couldn't find a single person. I decided to spend time by myself to work on my own skills and practice my spells to improve myself as an enchantress.

Jerrath: April 16

     Tonight in my dream of the alternate world of Jerrath known as Beta, I invited a couple of friends over to my room. I train in this strange place as well. It's odd that in my dream I started back as low rate enchantress. I'm back up to the ranks of Shaman and wearing my blue shaman gear. This dream of mine is filled with strange sounds and music. I think I hear music almost anywhere I go.

     After those two friends left, the strangely weak and human alternate form of Skitz stopped by to say hi. In this dream I'm a bit more evil than I am on in the real world. I trapped him on the platform of my room when he was looking around. It seems he either can't swim, or is scared of water. He wouldn't just jump down to get away. Strange, but the water around that part isn't all that deep.

     Booty stopped by to see what was going on and she too ended up trapped. That was a mistake, I only wanted to keep the boy, not the chocobo. Though I hear fried chocobo is rather tasty. Yum!

Jerrath: April 15

     I had that dream again. It was really strange. This time I met the dragon gods of Jerrath. They don't seem all that different. I met that strange white dragon that I'd heard about, but he didn't do anything strange or odd to me, not even after I tied his tail in a knot.

     The other dragon, the black dragon god of Jerrath, however did do things to affect me. In this strange dream he kept trying to end my life forever with a strange spell called Ban.
