1516 – My Diary (by Alectriciti)

Years ago, my father and mother were killed by an unknown group on the outskirts of Laurellin. I was left with my brother who looked after me for awhile. We were both torn apart! He avenged their death by killing who he thought were the murderers. But his hunch was nowhere close to the reality of the situation. As he was being judged by the council, in order for him to aviod being banished from Laurellin, he blamed everything on me, he told the judges that I was the one who killed the men. I was banished from Laurellin. I wandered in the wilds for five years. Laurellin had also made this known to the Kingdom of Oren that I was A dangerous threat to humans and elves. I was living in misery. I wandered and wandered, looking for signs of live or peace. All I found was suffering. I had, one day, fallen into a deep hole that had connections to a mine. The mines were massive, and I didn’t think I would ever get out. I was in there for two days, yelling for help, but no one could hear me. I curled up in a dark corner, ready to die. I began to close my eyes for rest, but I heard a masked man calling me. He said “I am here for you, follow my voice.” But the sound wasn’t audible around me, it was a sound in my head. I followed that sound and it led me out of those mines successfully! I reached the top, it was at the Laurellin mines. I had met the masked man. His name was Akorta. We became best friends. Since then, I have started this diary to write all the wonderful memories I have had. … :: Akorta helped me back into Laurellin, my brother had vanished. And everything is fine now! Akorta and I are headed off to see the city of Al’Khazar in Oren. Ow! We were just ambushed by the undead! What are those things!? I did not like it at all, we better make it to Al’Khazar safetly. Here we are, Al’Khazar. The place is amazing! I met the hooded stranger… he’s talking to Akorta and I about the undead. There are a lot of interesting things he’s telling us. He’s being so kind as to take us to his house for the night. Note: Be well armed and prepare to fight! Dawn’s Bakery, I love that place. Soups are very cheap. And… the soups are very delicious. I had just met a woman, Rhisereld. She’s absolutely beautiful. Akorta and I are off on a small adventure to defeat the undead! The chase begins! I defeated an undead! Akorta defeated one shortly after, but someone stole the staff he should have been rewarded with… Back at Al’Khazar. I’m taking Rhisereld on a journey to see Laurellin! Akorta and I will escort her saftely. The undead are attacking. I swore to defend Rhisereld with my life! Akorta went off to fight the undead, and apparently it got messy. It is now over. Akorta, Rhisereld and I are headed off to a new village! Rhisereld, Akorta and I are moving into the village! Rhisereld’s brother decided to tag along as well. I’m so happy I’m surrounded by friends. Growing awfully close to Rhisereld. I really do like her. :: A lot has happened since I last wrote in this diary! Akorta has had terrible things happen to him. And he has turned to being a mercenary. He’s asked me to join him, but I have no choice but to decline. Especially because of my friends here at home. I would hate to do that to them, especially my best friend Rhisereld. Rhisereld and I are here, i’m telling her the bad news About Akorta. He told me she’s already with someone. I don’t know what to say to that now. I want to love her, hold her, and cherish her with everything I have. Protect her with my life. Although I’ll admit, deep inside I find it somewhat wrong to fall in love with a human. I just, can’t help myself. This is going to be hard. I can’t be selfish. But as long as I can, I will fight for what’s right. Even if it means I don’t get the perfect mistress in the end. Rhisereld, if you ever read this, I hope you realize it’s not your fault. I just can’t be around someone who I want to be with but can’t. This happens to me all the time… and it’s painful. I hope we meet again, but when I get my head straight. I will miss you. So very much. :: :: A lot has happened since I last wrote in this. I never knew you’d become undead. I thought you were trying to save Natheus. But what you did will only destroy him. I will miss Rhisereld more than ever before, because the Rhisereld I knew is gone. I will never be the same. This is turning me into someone I’ve never wanted to become. :: There’s still hope for Rhisereld! :: I know she’s not gone completely! I just hope it’s not too late. She’s with the undead, they filled her with hate! I’m sounding like a poet, I need to shut up, get on my feet. Make sure they are gone, and destroyed in defeat! I know Rhisereld isn’t interested in me. I’m just an elf. But there’s nothing she can do about how I care for her. Absolutely NOTHING. No matter how many times she attacks me, spits in my face…. kicks me to the ground. Beats me with everythign she has, tries to make me hurt, suffer, scream in agony. .. As long as I live, she will have no choice but to deal with me! Diary, thanks for letting me rant to you. I’m going to get Rhisereld back. I know she wants to be bad, but I won’t let her! For there is so much good left inside her. I’ve seen it, experienced it. She’s a wonderful person. And by knowing that, I can fight hard. Get torn apart by whatever the undead throw at me. A tug of war between the undead and me. That’s what it is. I’m outnumbered… Only Rhisereld can choose. I may be wasting my time. ……. *erases that last sentence* She’s worth it.
