Thoughts of a squishy scout - Thorns journal.
-
So much has happened the past couple of days, and of course.. all out by the south gates. First would be the demon.. or, devil girl. There was a large group of us all just standing around and talking, when lightning began to strike down. The first, right at my feet, the second through twenty eighth.. anywhere anyone pointed. I pulled Jerrick into playing around with it.. as honestly, when it hit us it just sort of tingled and made us colapse. No real danger there … almost tickled? After a while of gestures to see what all did what, Jerrick and I were both covered in a swarm of bugs, glowing blue.. and had shadows all about us. Add being.. twitchy, and you can pretty much guess someone was playing with us. That someone turned out to be.. well, a girl with horns, wings, and a tail, all wrapped up in a little black dress. She seemed to want to have fun, and from what I gathered.. not many here liked her. Jerrick said she was immortal, so.. no real use trying to kill her right? I wonder why people haven't figured out that its easier to befriend something that might not hate you, than it is to kill something that can't die?
Ah well, she didn't do us any harm, all besides Ronans ego. They passed a few spells back and forth, and no sooner did she win. She left, to go have dinner at Deaths house ... that makes perfect sense to me too. Oh but it didn't stop there, turns out her father is a Balor, and shortly after she vanished, showed up and demanded to know where she was. We were quick with our answer ... it was a Balor. He didn't much like the answer, and was probably pissed.. didn't help as Ronan thought he'd throw a few spells at him. Which.. either chased him off, or annoyed him to the point of leaving. Either way, I'm sure Death thanks us for ruining his dinner date with that demon girl. I'll have to apologize for that...
Fortunately we had a small break from the demons and devils for the next day. I spent the morning out in the woods with Troff, trying to find a couple goblin sneaks for their blades. My scouts, Celad, and Caling, both needed them. We were lucky enough to find two. When we made our way back I tracked down my scouts, they were out training with Mia.. who, jumped when I covered everything in darkness ... I still find that so much fun. The day was hardly over though, and I think we may have some trouble with Caling.. turns out, shes been recruited into the sails. A few sails I like, Sabre, Luke ... and even Jaelle when shes not picking on me. But I' felt like I should warn her.. oddly enough, she hadn't heard about Jack and Jay. I'm not sure how Albry is going to take this news... probably going to get hit.
That night things only got worse, as by the south gates we had even more vampire trouble.. from the same archer vampire whos been giving us trouble for the past couple of weeks. Like before.. he filled me with arrows much faster than I could stick a few in him.. even with everyones help, we were outmatched. He's possibly the best archer I've ever seen.. and with that in mind, there was only one other option.. kamas- Running out of room again.

Today is over.. The moon is high in the sky and.. I feel just as bad as when I stepped out of the temple. Its.. so strange how much it takes you by suprise.. we live, we fight.. we die and we live again. Its a cycle I've become accustomed too. In so much.. that we sometimes make jokes about how we died. You bring your fallen to the temple.. and in a matter of moments, there they are. Your best friend, or your brother, sister, father or mother, standing there in front of you, alive and well. Ready to live by your side for years to come.
It doesn't always work out that way though.. sometimes, they don't stand back up. Sometimes their soul doesn't come back to their body. And.. you're left with a goodbye, that you never wanted to say.. that.. you still don't want to say..
Its not easy saying goodbye you know? Specially.. when its someone you wanted to see live a long, and happy life..
Telli.. I'll miss you.. I'll miss the adventures we had.. I'll miss the laughs we shared.. the times we spent sitting around norwick eating chocolate and sharing stories.. even the times we spent fighting back to back, defending the south gates. You've saved my life more times than I can even remember.. you've healed my broken bones.. and my little scrapes, worrying over one just as much as the other. You were a kind heart, and you never once asked for anything in return for your kindness.. You were a good friend. And I'll never forget you.
Noah told me, at the temple that I should be happy for you, that you're with your goddess now. I'll try Telli.. its not easy now. But.. give me a few days on this hillside and I'll try. I guess theres just one last thing to say…
Goodbye Telli.. goodbye.
