Dear Journal,
I heard the most interesting story today. I can barely contain my heart. The two brothers in the party today told me of
a woman they heard about named Aerie. Theo said, "Aerie was a friend of our fathers. She was an elf, much like you,
however, according to dad, her wings had been hacked, literally, off. She was a priestess AND mage. She traveled with our
dad and his adventuring band for awhile. We never met her, so all we know is what dad and mom told us."
That
is exactly what he said. I know it by heart because the possibilities are swarming through my head. An elf with wings! Another
elf with wings, and who is old enough to be my real mother. I have never even heard of it before, but Theo and Renos were
not even surprised to see me and now I know why. I am dying to ask them more but I don't want to press them because they really
don't seem to know anymore.
Here is a funny thought though. It was only said in passing, but Renos mentioned something
about a possibility that I could be their half sister. It's almost laughable. I don't look anything like them. At least,
I don't think so. There aren't a whole lot of mirrors around and I haven't really looked at them. But their father and mother
were still together, so why would he have another woman. Of course, that may explain why I was put up for adoption. But still,
what are the chances!
I have to remember what I am here for! The guild needs me! I have to admit it is a fond
thought to think I might have real family. And it scares me to death to think that someone would chop off my wings. Why would
anyone do that? I think I shall practice my long sword skills for a while, and if anyone should try to cut of my wings, I
shall chop off their feet and wear them around my neck.
On another note, I am finding the bear Faraer to be quite
pleasant. She allows us to snuggle up on cold nights, and is always curiously looking for strawberry pies. The monk, Martok,
is a curious gentleman. I haven't made up my mind about him yet. And Grak and Twack are a smelly pair. I find Grak to be strangely
playful, but he scares me at the same time. I have a feeling I am not the only one with that reaction to him however. Maybe
it's because they are not huge conversationalists. But I have to admit; I am very much interested in Theo and Renos now.
I know the stories are absurd, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad to entertain the thought of having relatives. As long as I
don't let it get out of hand and remember what I am here for, and that is to find information out about the sword- which I
do believe is the one Grak carries.
