Mother had always said one should journal the new, that way we can look and see how far we have come. I have not put pen to paper in many moons. None of the hardships or lessons seemed valuable enough to document yet this, this definitely warrants an entry.

I never thought I would leave the shadows of the Red Keep. Even after mother died, and father disappeared I stayed. The only training and the only happiness I had was in those forest hunting. What else was I to do but figure out how to survive without them? Leaving was never an option. Yet here I am getting ready to set out on a new adventure following Lady Rosenberg wearing a rose within my hair.

No matter what, this family has taken me in, and I will not let them down. While the journey will be long, I have no doubt in my ability to hunt and feed everyone and with Otto we should be able to keep everyone alive. Both Lady Rosenberg and Sr Leitner are extremely capable fighters so we should not have any issues dispatching any “problems” that might arise, though I rather they not get involved with minor scuffles. The journey to Runehiem does not bring me any fear but after does. Will we find a town that welcomes us? Will we find those who will bandwidth my lady. I have no idea what lies ahead of us. What types of beast will we come across may they be man or animal. No matter, it can’t be too bad right? Miva is there, and no matter the outcome it will be good to see her again.
