It was a very good day this day ...and a gentle night after.

Practice with the bow gifted from Peredhil was had in the Glen. Much, much more practice is needed. Sometimes the cord on it snaps back when hands do not make a good handling of it. It hurts terribly.

Then it was that many familiar faces were seen this night at the Red Dragon. But one who is called Antonio, husband to Maranya, known from a distance and seen for years, approached this night. A heart nearly stopped thinking something might have been done wrong. It was very unusual. But it was for a patron that he came to speak with me.

One called Lite, with a name far longer than that and so hard to pronounce, would like a wedding dress made for his daughter. He seems a very good hearted man and keeps well in his thoughts the daughter and wife spoken of. It is hoped soon to speak with the daughter to be wed to know measurements and the wants for colors of the dress.

It was a bit later that night an elder came into the inn that was well into his age and used a cane to move about with. Though he is older than many of the Humans in RhyDin, his spirit is very light and and strong. There was much talk of food and drink prices, sparring, and even of mending. There is hope to speak with him again since there are few that have ever been known that do not make a heart nervous at all. Except for when he tried to guess that the tunic being mended might be mine!

There is hope to see Althrae tomorrow. More practice of dance is needed.

The ship with the black sails was seen again today. It is thought very odd that no one will talk about the quietest of voices about it and none seem to know anything of who captains it or what cargo it carries.

Many of the dockhands, fishermen, and shoppe keeps have their heads together and whispering gossip and speculation of what it might be carrying and who the captain and crew could be.

Courage will be had to ask one of the fishermen in the morning.

Althrae and the darkly skinned one that guards, 'Tarem, have argued greatly for days. It is thought that they love each other deeply to know that much upset between their hearts.

Glances, looks, tiny gestures. These have been seen just a few times between stubborn warriors and those they love, but for reasons of the tents or lands, not allowed.

It is hoped that Althrae will soon tell him of her love but there is worry that she never will.

There was a chance to dance with Althrae this night for others! A heart lifted when it brought applause and coin for the dancer and the caravan. 'Tarem could be seen watching Althrae will and the mind knows well that he not only guards her but loves her.

After the dancing, Althrae asked for a fanciful belt of leather and coins to be made by the end of the winter months.

It is thought there will be plenty of time since less work is being done at the docks.

Kitty's dress is being worked on. There is hope that she and Tasslehof both like it. But there are months of work still to do on it.

There was a celebration of some kind to do with the Nexxus. It is still unclear if it was a good event, though. Some seemed happy about it and others were burning things in the braziers. When Fio is seen again, it is thought to ask her more about it.

The elder, Nicodemus, was seen again. He did not seem to care for the loud, colorful noises that some were creating for the celebration. But he had medicine for the welts suffered from practicing the bow! How a heart is grateful for it. He said that he knows the ways of fire, water, wind and dirt. But his magics on it are not clear. With this, more questions need to be asked.

Syrin was seen at the docks this day. His ways and heart are kind and a gift was given by him to me of a bracelet.

But he talks of winning this heart as his. It has been told to him a few times already that it is best that he does not do this. Others have been hurt. There is a stubbornness in this and he says he will continue to try.

It is hoped that too much pain or anger will not be brought to him when his trying does not work.

Terrible things were seen this night! As if those that were in their graves had dug themselves out and crawled from the cemetary all the way over the bridge and to the inn.

Sleep will not come this night and it is already the second hour into the morning.

A quiet return has been made. Madness had touched too close, too often that a need for travel was felt to the depths of this soul.

Not as far as Llothgar, but only to the south-horn of this main land.

Winter's snowfall finally stopped enough for a return. As quiet a thing as leaving had been for that journey.

The raging one of The Four was seen in the inn this night. There is great worry he will do harm to himself and the other three. Perhaps to others that are known to me. It is enough for these hands to shake with that worry and fear. He is much like the crazed, Master Gracus. The Boy in these Four will not understand, the Elder will know and understand it is thought but not be strong enough to compel raging one, and the other that time has been spent with at ease is in danger perhaps the most. It is all tainted things, madness and madness more.

Then the black cat was seen this night. It is a large, dark beast that has been seen before but not for a few years now. Rabbits were brought by him to this one when there was not enough strength to seek food or coin to buy it. How he brings to this heart and soul memories that weigh and lift -- all at the same time.

Panther is missed greatly. Perhaps this is what has brought the Presence of madness. And that the great, black cat was seen in the inn this night, perhaps it is a sign that this battle is being lost. None but Kitty know that the window is still left unlocked for him, just in case. Perhaps she and Tasslehofl know the pains and joys of this heart. It is not known. Little is said of any of this to others.

Hands hurt. Too much writing. Too much aching of this heart and head. Sleep is needed. Peace is needed, but perhaps the gods may never allow it. Sleep is needed and there is work to rise early before the dawn to see to.

Panther is back! Gods, playing at their horrible games, have finally allowed it!

He was seen day prior and returned to the inn, to...me.

There is no remembering by him of being gone for over three and a half years. He was in a form that did not recall these sorts of things.

How a heart is light and rejoices. He looks well but there is a great guilt, it seems, in his heart and mind that he was gone from me and the inn for so long.

There is much to tell him. Much company to keep with him and much love to offer in return where there was thought it lost forever.

Heart and thoughts cannot help but to wonder if he will stay.

A few days' time have been much spent with Panther since his return. Work is neglected at the docks and mending has sat.

Much is talked about and many hours have been spent together out of the eyes of the public, too. It is hoped not too many mind this.

The hour is very earlier and he is watched while he is sleeping, finally. So there is a chance to write these words.

Perhaps, when there is time for it, the cottage will be shown to him and more of what has happened while he was gone will be told to him.

Three weeks.

It had almost been three weeks' time since his return and a heart and soul can still hardly believe it.

Garet at the docks has been understanding with these hands not working as much there as is accustomed or normal, but it is also suspected that he is becoming frustrated. There will be made a point to see that help and work there is once again done, though not as much as once there was. There is a great need to be upon that same path as Panther's again and deep, wonderful distraction in it all.

In the recent days, almost a week's length, a snow storm came and time was spent at the cottage with Panther. Though the dress meant for Kitty, the one Tasslehofl has asked the making of, was brought to the cottage, there was no work done at all on it in that time.

There has been many things talked about. Somethings recent past and others far older.

He has begun to call me st'ir'n. It is said, he says he has heard, that it means "my darling" or sweet darling. Beloved, he his.

Not yet have all the things of the Cloaked One, I Am, been told to him, but soon. A heart half-fears that even to speak of him might bring the presence back. Where shades of madness seemed there they are currently gone with Panther's return. There is found a great harvest of happiness and peace.

It is not kept from him, but will be spoken on when a heart does not worry that it is the wrong place for ears to overhear or public eyes to possible see what is meant so private between.

The gods have stopped in their painful game for now and a heart, it would seem, is light and full of joy over it.

A little festival was held in the inn this night! Colored sugar cakes, root beer, and throwing of beads was happening.

Some of the men were taking their tunics and shirts off to get more beads and looked to be having a great amount of fun from it.

These fingers are still green and purple from the cake's sugar and frosting but it is not a complaint. It was thought to be very good.

Kitty threw beads and they were caught by these hands. Unexpected but it was all to bring a laugh.

The Norse woman, Shylah, was seen too, with a feather mask and seemed to be enjoying the festival very much.

Perhaps, if Amber or Kitty is asked, the next festival will be to celebrate barbarians, dessert dwellers, or even merchants!

Finally one is tired enough to rest though the sky is just starting to grow light. It is hoped that Panther does not mind sleeping in late this day.

It has been a very busy last couple of weeks, but the work is not minded too much. Best to have hands busy than to sit idle for too long without purpose at all.

Connar, the Lady's former love, was seen last night.

It does a heart well to know that he is safe and in bettered spirits than distant times before. Time was spent in his company last night at the inn, talking of many things and to listen too of a story he had.

When he was asked about naevein, the veiled one with the bells, he smiled and asked why she was always asked about now when these eyes saw him. Truth was offered, that there was hope he would find happiness. But it was wrongly pressed. Better it is for such things to happen on their own. A heart holds him dear as a trusted one and friend and there is a need to see him with a love again. He was patient with this misstepping.

But secretly, still it is hoped he will find someone. His heart is strong and good. And he can find ways to make others laugh!

Panther has not been seen too much these last days with much going on and work. It is guessed that there is much to discuss and papers to see to in matters of the inn. It is a guess. These are not things understood too deeply but there is an understanding that it is all very important.

The old journal was found, deep and at the bottom of a truck. It had been almost a year since the small one had written anything. S'jira thumbed through it. Sometimes, she stopped to read a few things she had written before continuing on to other pages. A few ribbons, pressed flowers, and other items were kept between its pages. She noticed that there were only a few pages left. And instead of words upon them, she sketched a very rough image of Panther on one of them. It barely looked like who it should have, but she enjoyed creating the rendering of him. Next to where she had found the full journal, a second one was there with its empty pages. The old one was wrapped in a soft square of leather and tucked back away. It was time for a new binding to write her thoughts and happenings in. With a smile, she closed the trunk and set about to see if there was enough ink on hand to ensure more writing.
