I haven’t written much, because my Cousin has had my journal for the last few weeks. He didn’t steal it though, I gave it to him to read, to prove a point and to help him understand me better. And I think it helped. Hopefully he wasn’t too offended by me calling him boring.
But a lot has happened since then and I don’t even know where to begin writing. Lots of people are dead and the whole city was flooded and Eriit is dead and he didn’t burn, he drowned and I don’t even know how to deal with that so I’m not. And I’m so mad at the Cardinal for not letting me see him or even deigning to reply to my letters. And I try not to think about Him and what it means and how he won’t likely of been cleaned of taint and I might not see him again because if I do, then it just hurts. More than almost anything.
I killed a demon. Not by myself, I had some help but still, I did it. You see, there was this circle and Vonnie broke it, and then two demons jumped out. And there was the Earl Marshall and the Grand Master there too and they were handling one of the demons and the other went for Vonnie and I couldn’t let it. Because it wanted to kill him. And I would really rather not like it if he died so I tried to stop it and I tried and I kept it at bay for ages but it was too much and it got me really bad across the stomach and then again and I fell down and it was about to kill me when Count Sevoi jumped through the roof and saved me. I got back up again but it was hard to fight and the Count kept it off of me though and it never touched me again. But I didn’t really let them know how bad I was, I just chewed on some mandrake and told a few little lies. I didn’t want to be left behind, not when we were chasing the mage that caused the flood.
So we hunted down the mage that made the flood, and I worked it out the map and the focal arc thing and where to go. So we went and we fought the mage and lots of demons and I broke the circle and the demons came and Count Sevoi kept protecting me and he nearly died. But we killed the mage, and then went back to the Orphanage and the Queen was there, it was good to see she was okay. I watched the Count during the night and made sure he was okay but then my Cousin said he was getting worse and might die which wouldn’t be fair given he saved my life. I prayed to Dav and I think he heard me because now he seems okay again. I think a lot of time Dav doesn’t really listen to me and what I want but I’m glad he decided to this time. Wish he listened to me when I asked for that big diamond choker necklace for my sixteenth birthday though. The one with inch wide one set with more diamonds than I could count.
Also my maid died in the flood. And so my room is messy and I have to dress myself except I can’t put on my dress properly so I have to wear leathers and I’m scared to wear silks again in case there’s another demon attack. So Dav, if you’re still listening, or reading my Journal (which you really shouldn’t be) I would like a new maid and a diamond choker necklace (still). Also for my cousin to not kill Edvard. That’s three things. Things come in threes right? So that’s not too over the top to ask for.
