Love is an adventure, too.

City of Crossing - Midton Circle - evening

How silly of me to keep forgetting that I have this journal. I should be writing things down far better, chronicling my life and the adventures that I am having. Though I would not wish to take massive amounts of time from those adventures just to write about them! Still, in moments of repose it is a good idea. Perhaps I shall have children one day and they might like to know what their mother was up to.

Last year, I met Harkour. I wandered through the territory of the blood wolves, looking for people to offer my healing services to and there he stood. He cut a striking figure in his magnificent plate armor, and he spoke so beautifully I was instantly charmed. I departed, and wondered if I might even see him again. How excited I was when I saw him a few days later in the Empath guild. Since then, we have been mostly inseparable, save for those times I must away to tend to my training. We became engaged a few months ago, and I think we are both looking forward to the wedding.

My beloved sleeps in the bed nearby as I rest near the fire. It's another rainy night and I felt a chill so I decided a little fire would not hurt. Not long before we got engaged, I was able to secure a little house for us in Midton Circle in the Crossing. We have made it ours in every way - placing some of the various trinkets from our adventures upon the walls and furniture. We recently went on an excursion to Taisidon Island, and we quite enjoyed ourselves, finding all sorts of exotic flowers that now have a home in our little house. My favorite is the beautiful rose that looks like a rainbow, I am hoping to perhaps make use of another bloom when a merchant comes.

My beloved wakes. Until next time.

A Return to Zoluren

City of Crossing - afternoon

I cannot believe how long it has been since I dusted off this journal. In truth, I am amazed that the pages are even still holding together as well as they are. But then, I take excellent care of my things.

I have returned to the Crossing at last to continue my training as an Empath. So much has changed since last I was here. The Empath Guild is filled with strange plants that apparently are bonded to Empaths and can help patients with their wounds. I have not the skill to summon this plant yet, though I am eager to grow so that I might know the feeling. 

The crafting guilds, still so new when last I visited, are filled with hustle and bustle now. There are so many things to learn. Loving gardening and herbology as I do, I've taken up alchemy and I greatly enjoy it. I only hope to grow and learn more with each passing day. So too have I returned to foraging, trying to find some of the herbs for myself. I am still not sure if the potency is better or worse than those from the shops. Time will tell.
