Mara's enchanted journal. A gift on her 18th birthday to start recording her daily journeys. No matter how many entries she writes it never runs out of pages.

Today was very different for me. As I walked through the forest it was as if I was seeing things for the first time. The colors of the trees and flowers so vivid, the scents so refreshing. I had to keep a steady pace to put as much distance between me and my home before the others discovered I was missing. The scouts are very good so I have had to make sure my tracks are covered. From time to time I traveled in the trees and walked in the streams. It is getting close to the sun setting. I love the way the light breaks through the trees. I will miss the forest I hope my new home will be as beautiful as this. I found a small cave in the side of a hill, it is only big enough for me to sleep in, but I should be safe for the night. Tomorrow I will have to travel again.

The past two days have been very strange but interesting. Hueura and I started the day moving quickly through the forest, trying to avoid the creatures and stay ahead of the scouts. We had traveled a few hours when this portal appears before us. We stopped and watched it for a moment, then it pulled us in. There was nothing we could do. I gripped by bag and bow as tight as I could, and hoped that H made it through safely. Within a few seconds I was landing on my knees beside a tree. As I looked around at the portal it closed quickly. My first thoughts were somehow we triggered one of the portals in the forest that leads to the plane of the Lythari. There was grass and what appeared to be a lake, as we walked down the road we came across this bridge made of rocks that were neatly carved and put together. I have never seen one made like this. When I walked across it, it did not move at all. Very interesting concept.

We came upon a village, and met a few of the people that live in or around it. At first they did not understand me. I had to speak in common, which was never my strongest language, but we seem to find a way to understand each other. There were three men and one female that took the time to speak to me. It seems we are a long way from home and the chances of find a way back are very slim. I took them to the place where I arrived and there were no signs of the portal. All traces of magic were gone. I was getting hungry and was very tired and confused, the group walked back to the village and we got something to eat. The food was good, but the drink made me feel strange. Kael’veras, one of the men offered to walk me back to the lake so I could set up camp for the night. At first he was being very pushy and annoying but he did help me set up my camp, and offered to stay with me to keep me company. I was thankful for the company. Somehow I ended up sitting on his lap, he was so warm, I felt safe and comfortable. The next thing I knew it was morning, I had slept on him all night. It was more comfortable than the ground. I will have to get the materials and make a mattress today.

After talking to Kael more he is not the jerk I was thinking he was. It seems he has been through a lot and could use some kindness in his life. We are spending today together and he offered to protect me so I can adjust to my new life that I must make here. He is very different compared to the men in my clan. I can’t help but be attracted to him. I will have to see where this leads.

Today started off to be a wonderful day. Kael and I spent t the whole day together again, we shared so much about each other I feel like we are growing closer and closer. We went into town for dinner and sat outside around the fountain. The others that we met the other night were there and we enjoyed a short time of conversation. Amywien was there and like before she tried to make me uncomfortable. She did leave making it somewhat more pleasant. But the night was growing later and I was getting tired. A wolf had come into town then left in that direction. So I thought it best to go check the camp to make sure it was alright. The other, Feanor and Sebastian joined us to check on the camp. When we arrived there Amywien and her pet were making themselves at home. I quickly started to gather my things so we could move to a different location. Her panther was very aggressive and started to growl, which I found very rude since I was in my own camp, packing up my things. Several words were exchanged and the situation was going to get out of control. Feanor did step forward to put things at ease. I picked up my things and left the area.

I am proud of my heritage, which you should be. But I don’t hold grudges against other because they come from an inferior dragon bloodline. I guess she forgets that it was the Ancient Greens that drove the Blacks from the forest and forced them to wallow in the muck of the swamps. I am going to ignore her and her ignorance. But if she does continue to push the issue between us, I will have to remind her of her weaker ancestor.
