* Folded with this journal entry is a letter from her Dear friend, Cirdu.*
*The letter looks like it had gotten wet, and there is dried blood at the top right corner, along with some muddy finger prints around the edges* Sorry I haven't written back in a while though I have gotten your letters, I find myself in not such good company, in a village outside Rohan, it's full of the people I normally avoid, I am stood outside the local inn, streets barely lit by the lanterns in this rain, I should be back soon..ish. Try to stay out of trouble.
- Cirdu
-----------------------------------------------------
As I was replying to my dear friend Cirdu, my mentor was walking by me in bree, by the mailbox, The one near the auction house. Not the noisy one by the Pony. Tarth, was walking by, I told him about my friend might be in trouble, I showed him the blood stain on the letter but did not let him read it. My friend, has asked me not to tell others about him. I'm not sure if he has some kind of bounty on his head or not... He's an Ex-Gardener now. He just Knitts now, and well It wouldn't surprise me if he is wanted.. But that's his business. Although I have no idea how to get to Rohan... I might need to hire a guide to find my way, and one that isn't going to lead me in circles and take my money! I'll have to do some chatting in the Pony see if anyone knows somebody with great tracking skills. I want to help my friend, if he needs it. Not sure what I can do, but I'll think of that when the time comes.
"Stay out of trouble." Its quite funny... the last time I got into trouble was also after I had written to Cirdu. I got mugged one night in the alleys. Thank god Gold found me that night, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. But again I'm back tracking...
Tarth found a lead to one of the assassins tracking him in the city... We traveled to an abandoned apartment... after going into the place we found the assassin's gear... or at least some of it. Including a locket, which I still need to give back to Tarth now that I think about it. It had a picture of his wife, and him in it... He was confused so was I, I thought the assassin must have dug up her grave to get to him, to pluck his nerves, boy was I wrong. Turns out Tarth's wife was a Psychopath!!
As we exited the apartment the assassin shot at Tarth, hitting his shoulder pad, luckily not hurting him. Then she revealed herself as his wife. Turns how his son is safe with his father, but his wife... or ex wife I'm not sure how marriage laws work... or if you still consider yourself married if the other one is trying to kill you? Anyways, I've decided I'm not getting married, Next thing you know I'd marry someone and they'd turn psychopath like Tarth's wife. Not sure how or if Tarth is going to go after his son. She mentioned something to him about not taking an offer from his father, and something about slaves... Who knows if he even knows Tarth is alive? I'm totally getting side tracked... let me get back to the fight It happened pretty fast.
After there conversation, she jumped from the roof she was standing at, I tried kicking her down the stairs where we were at, but I wasn't successful. I did a few blade strikes.. but I had daggers, and I'm not very good with daggers... I really need to get my blades remade from Gold. I can't believe I misplaced them camping, so foolish of me. Anyways she was attacking at me, and I was attempting to block and parry the best I could. Tarth was able to get a good hit on her chest... however she moved and it wasn't a fatal attack. Then, I don't know what all happened... It happened so fast... She was falling and threw a blade at my chest... Then I was out cold.
Next thing I know I'm waking up in the bed of the Pony, The most excruciating pain in my chest I'd ever felt in my entire life. I was balling... and I noticed Tarth was watching me, and I think he was crying too but I don't recall I covered my face with a pillow I didn't want to look like a big baby! but I knew I was. I felt like a big baby!!
After a little bit I collected myself. I made a semi-serious joke, telling him his wife was crazy. He made a comment how there talking ceased at one point and this was just nailing the coffin shut... I probably butchered what was actually said, but it was along those lines, I started laughing, but as I was laughing my chest started just aching like a mother fucker, so I was sobbing and laughing all at the same time... randomly spitting up blood... it was a nightmare.
Not to long after, Gold and Khhan enter the room, Me, looking competely pathetic, I try to make a joke, I told them to remind me never to get married, They didn't understand it, until we told them what Tarth's wife had done. Gold seemed a bit upset at Tarth. but I'm not too sure, My mentor said he would give him a full report at another time, I think he set off to go do that.
Gold and Khhan started talking in another language... I have no idea what they said... It seemed like they were talking about me, then Khhan asked me something, then again in common. Asking if I had any experience with magic. I told him no.. the only time I had experience with it was when some trickster mage was playing with his staff... in the pony. The guy was weird... He even named his staff. I forget the name... but it was an odd fellow, I don't even remember the name of the guy... anyways fuck I always get side tracked!!
So, Khhan made me an offer, he said he could heal my wound, with his magic, and I wouldn't have to be in pain. The only thing he wanted was a favor later. I told him as long as his favor didn't involve hurting children I'd accept. I mean come on! No pain, nooo recovery wait time, and I can go back into my Dancing lessons the next day! Sounded like a deal to me! so I accepted his offer.
The whole sight of the spell was quite terrifying, I had no idea what was going on, the little rock shined, a crimson, and it seemed to really zap his energy, He ended up eating the rock? I think? I don't know.. anyway the rock came back up... and the wound was on him... I don't know if it was my blood or his... It was very terrifying.. I really hope I don't have to deal with this magic stuff again.. Though I am quite pleased to not be in pain anymore. I kind of felt bad seeing him in pain, I kind of think I got the better end of the deal... I mean just for a Favor? How bad can the favor really be? I don't think the favor was getting him the bottle of rum after the whole ordeal either... so I'll find out eventually what he wants or needs. Maybe something hasn't arised yet that he needs help with?
Ext. link: “Artamis” and Acherd showed up after everything had happened. I ended up showing Acherd my recent fruits I'd collected, annnd Ext. link: “Artamis”... well Ext. link: “Artamis”is just Ext. link: “Artamis”.. He's a bit mysterious and odd... with that Ext. link: “Anachlyx”!! I still don't even know her name... or really have even said Hi to the lady. I just know she talks really... funny-like....
