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.

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.
