_Da Earlies Life
Wells me guessin one of de best ways ta startin off a journals, bein wit how mes getting ear. Mes bein born in Abellio which bein de planes where Mt. Clangeddin bein in Arcadia. Me parents bein Dorbrid n Gorrin, n yas kin nae askin fur better parents. Me dad bein one o de defenders o de land which bein one o de most honorable professions outside de church o course. Me mum takin mes ta de priest or wha wes callin dem Alaghor fur as long as mes kin remember. De wearin brilliant silvers chainmails wit des helm dat havin all kin o spikes on dem n mes nae kin remember dey eva takin des helms off. De Alaghor also bein de teachers o de battle tactics so needless ta sayin mes spendin much o me time trainin der. Wells most tings in Abellio be perfect if its bein da weather, da days, wha evers it bein, untils mes were about tens.
Mes can’t rememberin whys ba de winters dat years bein particulary brutal. Wes all tinkin its de ice giants comin down frum de tops. Ba den de priesties started ta makin up all des holidays. As ones knowin Clanggedin celebratin past battles wells dey just makin dem up. It was first, known when me tellin me dad bout a holidays n since e bein in de defenders e knowin bout most o dem. Wells needless ta sayin dis nae goin over wells wit dem. De first ones dey letting go ba afder bout a years o des “holidays” de defenders havin enough cuz ones havin ta given donations ta de Alaghor fur der blessins. Fur de next year er years n half wes tryin ta talkin to dem n getting dem ta stopping wit des holidays. At de end o de negotiations wes were talkin n den wes earin dis loud blast cumin frum outsides. Wes run out n der just dis huge fireballs cumin frum one o de minin shafts. Wes tinkin its one of de priest n nae tinkin its one o us so wes instantly at arms wit one nudder. Mes nae seenin so many kins killin in one days. De scene was unreals in de middle o me homeland neighbors killin neighbors, wit little kins run throughs da streets. Dis goin on fur years n years me fergettin ow long exactly just everys days was wha de Alaghor next movin goin ta be._

_Redemptions
Havin bein backs fur onlies bout a months mes beginning ta tinkin bout mes trips n once gain decided mes havin unfinished businesses out ders. When mes gettin back da landscapes bein much differents den da last times mes bein ders. Der bein boulders in da entrance ta da strongolds. Mes walkin ins a back entrances n mes seein me kin bloodied ups n skinnies as evers. Mes asken wha appened n its seemen dat de giants bein ttackedn. Da past years da giants runnin out o foods, so deys out fur sum dwarfs, dey blocken up de entrances wit stones n der no ways ta gettin rothes inta de old throughs a sides entrances so der nay much ta eaten. Doe horriblies mes tinkin dis is me opportunities ta reuniting de clans. Mes eadin downs ta de Alaghors camps n seein a much worsts off ‘old o kins. Its seemin da reasons dey weres forced out bein dat Clanggedin removin is powers frum dem cause o de wars wit de defenders so deys were helpsless n havin ta learnin ta fighten wit axes n nae spells.
Mes gettin da leaders tagether ta seein if dey could workin tagether to defeatin die giants. Dues to de failen healths o both de clans dey greedin n wes preparen fur battles. Wes marchin out towards de giants hooten n a howlin seekin sums revenes. Wes rushin ins, hacken n slashin ats de giants, mes lookin ta me left n seein a giants swingin is club n four er five dwarves goin flyin n ittin de rocks behinds us. Wes keepin ons killens two o dems at dis times. Anoders giants smashin two dwarves wit is foot n its seemin dey weres winnin da battles. Wes were forced backed ta ours ‘old n dis times dey campin outsides ours camps.
Countin our losses its seemin wes loosen bout half our forces in dat ttack. Talkin to da leaders, nae tinkin der no ways ta pushin dem backs. Den wes tinkin wes needin de elps frum Clanggedin, most ifs nae all o us loosen ours faith when de clans spliten. Mes startin a prayers mes knowin frum when mes a little kins. De Alaghors elpin outs n fillen its de parts mes missin. Afder de chants wes tinkin der bein a flash o light er sumting ba nothing appened. Wes sitten der fur a whiles n den tinkin wes too fars gones. We start planning another ttack cause de supplies bein runnin lows. We movin outs n havin a stare downs wit de giants fur de last attempts. Me rememberin a light snow were fallen dat makin tings soundin softer n unreals. Yas kin seein da breathe risen frum both sides, den wes rushin it fighten ta de end.
De battles goin liken da last ones, wit dwarves bein smashed n thrown rounds. Lookin round mes start sings a Clanggedin war songs. Sum oders seemin ta knownins its n day join ins. Den all o a sudden all de drawves havin dis redish, ambers glow round dem. Den de lord o de twin axes, da giantkiller imself Clanggedin appearen. De Alaghors started casten some o der spells gain, n wes smashin de giants back wit dis glows on us. De giants nae seemin ta bein able ta itten us and all o ours ttacks seemin ta itten dem. Mes seein a kin wit a greataxe slicen straights throughs a giants ankles. Da dey were ours all danks ta Clanggedin.
Afder de fighten wes were celebraten n de leaders o de two clans havin heavy loses decided its best ta startin overs gain as ones clan. Mes nae could agreedin mores, n de first ting wes do is maken a statues in honors o Clanggedin. Mes stayin ta elpin dem buildin a news inn n brewies fur de ales course. Afder havin done wha mes comin ear ta doin mes knowin its bein time fur mes ta getting back ta Narfell. Doe me kin up in de mountains bein me ‘ome, mes tinkin its better fur dem ta learnin n growin on der owns. So mes returnin backs ta Narfell afder oi years up in de mountains wit a purpose in me life n once gain a deities ta bein following dat o de father o battle, Clanggedin._
