It has been a long time since I recorded here. I have grown both derelict in this duty and too busy.

Forging a new alliance with new friends is a matter that has occupied most of my time, but in the midst of this I have again found a quiet spell to contemplate and record in my journal.

I was busily scribing in my journal, sat at a table in the Blue Recluse in Stormwind City, when a young man came into the tavern. I recognised a fellow member of the Crimson Heart, a young man named Vagris.

He looked anxious, as if he was trying to summon the courage to ask me a question. I grinned and wordlessly pushed the chair opposite me ( Read more... )

Dedicated to nhani, who inspired me to reach much deeper, and Marakith, who always listens carefully...

My Father always said that beginnings were delicate times. He was more accurate than he could possibly have known. I miss him deeply, and Mother too.
