A manticore~ beautiful and deadly! Taking after your mommy, aren't you? Yes you are! Yeeeeees you are~!
My stomach still churns, and I feel the burn every night. I do the cooling charms, I've put ointment. It's severe and the intent was to scar, so of course it won't stop hurting for awhile.
I still haven't gotten my maps back. I really need to get my resolve, I'm not normally weak like this. He can't take those from me. My God he can't.
Arlong... damn him!
When I go home... I.. I'll kill him. I have to. If they take my maps and money... I can't be enslaved to the man forever. And the people of the village, they can't keep paying the ridiculous taxes on their lives for too much longer.
But I don't think I'm strong enough...
[ I know we haven't logged anything yet, concerning the night of her branding. So I just decided to be very vague about it. >>; Back from my slight hiatus. Still feeling a liiiittle bit sickly, but I'm better for the most part. ]
