Erin's diary
Winter Day Seventeen
Yes, diary, today is the day that Ariel returns. I put on that nice blue dress and my blue topaz pendant.
I keep getting the feeling... that something bad is coming. And I'm going to go on a long trip.
11am
Diary, I had my trip, however it ws a short one. My knee still hurts. But I still feel something bad is about to happen...
Gilaine's Diary....
Winter Day Nineteen
Dear Diary.
W have been taken by Salamander's slavers. Daffyd has not returned. Erin is being impossible, rude and priggish. And Ariel, who incidently orchestrated this, has given her "special attention".
They haven't spotted me writing this. But I had better to stop now, before I am caught.
Winter Day Twenty
I'm on a boat, heading towards Lud knows where. Erin is very pleased with herself, as Ariel has let her ride up front. The slaver Salamander's men thought that I was faking my muteness. Father had to correct them, and Ariel and that strange hooded man or woman called Salamander were displeased.
10 am
They have put me in the lock up, the brig, they called it. It is a most horrible place.. They did not notice that I had snuck my diary in, up my sleeve.
Winter Day Twenty
10:30 AM
That's it! I try to do something nice and it's thrown back in my face. Some stupid nobody pushed me into a cirlce or jotsling men and demanded I sing. I mean REALLY! What am I? Some kind of performing ape? Despite the fact that my vocal chords are completely non - existant *humph*
And then that strange hodded passanger asked me whether I would perform in a duet with them!! Singing some song from Cats, whatever the hell that is. I guess I could mime a song holding a cat?? *thinks* But that'sjust absoloutely ABSURD! So when I refused I was taken underneath into the cabbins and that's where I am now. And it absoloutely reeks!! Why did they lock me up anyway? I'm not some performing gyosy girl?? WHO DO THEY THINK I AM???? *freaks out*
Winter Day 20
Late Evening
It's very, very cold down here. And I just want Daffyd.
So cold. The days of rain are coming soon. And something doesn't feel quite right. I feel like I'm going off in a totally wrong direction. A tangent. Although, I guss going anywhere you don't want to go feels wrong. But I've had that happen before.
This feels different.
Winter Day 21
Early Morning
It has been getting colder now, and I an starving. My stomach is churning - it feels as though it's gnawing it's way out of my body! Why won't anyone give me some food! I am going to start a protest! A rally! Anything! I just want to get out of here. A bird just flew past. Perhaps it had eggs in a nearby nest....if it could just understand me and cook them up!! Oh please!! Let me out of here!
Hey gyus i thought it would be nice for a change to swap to a new character. The new character is Henry Druid!

Spring Day 12
I was having a fairly boring meeting with my informants this afternoon when Gilbert had to go and interrupt me. I was at first irritated, until i heard that the Gypsy girl he had captured had been around Obernewtyn. I wanted it as my next stronghold. It was ideal being so secluded and all. I would have had it too if that blasted traitor Rushton had done as he promised. Now there was all sorts of uncertainty about whether or not it was burnt down in a firestorm. All that the gypsy said was true to the stories we had been hearing. Although hearing that Rushton was alive and crazy was new.
I was so pleased to hear that Rushton was getting some payback for not honoring our deal that i decided i would have the Gypsies stay in my compound and bonded off.

Spring Day 13
What do I have to do to get a little peace and quiet? I finally settle into my nap, when some preppy soldier barges and and tells me the Gypsy girl is causing trouble. Why can't those damn gypsies just do as they are told? Inbred fools.
I still don't think Obernetwyn was destroyed. There's something fishy going on, and it's not the burnt fish I ate for breakfast. No, something else. I mght have to go and investigate, or interrogate that gypsy more...

Spring day 14
Why does everything have to g wrong. I've been looking for Erin for hours and can't find her anywhere. There was a big storm earlier and I thought I'd do the fatherly thing and invite her to a special dinner with Gilbert as I know she doesn't like storms, but can I find her....no! I wonder if that gypsie girl knows where she is.
Thinking of the gypsy... Gilbert seems to be quite taken with her as well so I'd better get him bonded to Erin soon before he does something really stupid and I have to sell him off to the slavers. Erin wants the man...Lud knows why, she could do so much better, but what Erin wants, Erin gets, indulgent father that I am.
I must remember to send someone up to check out that story about Obernewtyn too. Should send Gilbert, kill two birds with one stone. Get the gypsy bonded to the idiot gatekeeper and Gilbert out of the way for a few days. MMmmmm have to think about it later, I think its time for my nap.

Dear God!
If I have to put up with Erins whines for much longer I shall go mad. My final decision is to marry that half wit of a gypsie girl off to Relward the gate keeper. He will keep her in line and not allow her saucy tounge to tip Erin off into the deep end. And my thoughts on Gilbert and Erins bonding turned into action last night when I told Gilbert of my plans. He flatly refused! So being the kind master that I am I sent him away with other armsmen to think on what we had discussed and maybe he will make the right decision. So I have sent Erin off to tell the gypsie of the plans of bonding. That will give her some form of satisfaction. Gilbert should be back soon with the right answere to my generus allowance of his bonding to my daughter.
Another problem on my mind is my other .......daughter.... Gilane. I dont trust her. She seems even more withdrawn then ever. She is up to something I can tell. Maybe I should send word to Ariel sooner then planned, sweet child that he is. Soon all of my problems will be taken care of. Now to my nap......
