Rats.
Dear Journal,
I've heard about rat plague inside a city again, and even noticed one near deserted kebob seller's stand.
It is said that rats are eyes for evil forces, spying quietly and unnoticed most of times.
They are plenty in kobold swamp, i kill them often.
They carry diseases and it's a form of sabotage.
But local gardener and ex-senator of Peltarch, Marthoussca Leaffal, seems to like such.
– Yours, Chea Allin, cerulean star 1st.

Message
Dear Journal,
i write this with shaky hands,
i had a lucid dream, after i met Anheim briefly.
Old Mage i follow, perhaps Khelben Arunsun himself told me about the danger and hope.
Perhaps Mystra is to be held captive, opressed and kept in a Sect. She would appear as dead in my future, but she will be kept in a prison.
There will be those who know, who see her in her Art.
But most will be blind and not, see her at all.
– Yours, Chea Allin, Witch Seer.

Dear Journal,
I've left a neatly written and scented note left in a message box:
@adc3b066f7:
To current Cerulean Knights Leader.
I, Chea Allin, thereby ask for a favor and permit.
To wear Black Cloak and only cloak in formal and unformal occasions. Rest of my dress will be standard issue.
It's color of Protection and one of most important things for me when it comes to dress, to wear cloak dyed Black.
It is quite utilitarian as well, for it can be used on missions if it's Black.
I am not the best Cerulean Knight, and never will be if i propose this, but perhaps i can still advance somehow despite my APPARENTLY nonlawful demeanor…. and get recommendation for lawful behavior still.
Please consider this plea,
Chea Allin, cerulean 1st star.
– Chea.

Dear Journal,
I've dilemma.
My superiors wish me to wear Blue Cloak, as it's formality for Cerulean Knights.
But my Black Cloak is better for reasons known to my Master.
Perhaps i won't be considered lawful enough this way to get recommendation for Monastery and Yogi training that way, such are this world's laws.
What should i do? Arrange for permit and approval somehow? Perhaps it can be done but it's not easy.
I won't advance in ranks either if i wear nonformal black, i think.
Advantages of wearing black cloak are utilitarian as well… for in case of rescue mission and frightened captives i can try to hide them under cloak and invisibility spell so they are calm and hidden while we fight... if spell's duration ends, cloak can save their lives.
-- Yours, Chea Allin, Cerulean star 1st.

Dear Journal,
A while ago, i've requested a Cerulean Spell-sword Armour from HQ.
Bureaucracy is terrible, but now that others requested it too, they approved my plea.
I have to gather coin then arrange for details and get it. Two thousand gold pieces for lesser one that made is of studded leather. I do not need greater one for it weighs too much. Perhaps there will be additional expenses, maybe even significiant, for adjusting it's looks at Vanity Plates.
It's a studded leather armour that does not hinder spellcasting and helps with discipline in combat.
– Chea Allin, cerulean star 1st.
P.S. Soon after writing this in journal, i've got this armour and long-overdue payment, dear yournal. I've changed mind so i took lighter leather, without much fuss from quartermaster. He was prepared.
P.S.S. I've deposited excess gold in bank, 2200 gold coin.
P.S.S.S. Perhaps i'll decide for greater studded leather later, if i advance in Cerulean Knight ranks.

((sometimes i'll post here too though)).
Liira required me to kill an Orc.
–- Adventurers.---
Dear Journal,
Godess of Art, Liira required me to kill an Orc (pig on two legs).
I went on the half-orc controlled plains next to Peltarch.
Fully prepared, i found dead half-orc bodies.
Then i saw two young adventurers who spared me this ordeal.
I'll have to continue, even if it's horrible.
I wonder how many people killed for Art's sake.
It's disgusting... and under Moon.
-- Yours, Chea Allin, Liiran under a Moon.
P.S. That's how 'Paper Moon' fell from the sky.

Astral Space
My mind travels in astral space.
My imagination and emotions give me power in this world. Things I see are mostly about dragons, people's fears and ambitions. There are plenty of demons to defeat.
I have insight in our future and can sow seeds of it with wishes, mantras, affirmations, visualizations, spells, prayers and rituals.
This is not best time for meditation, but i can use all my knowledge gained via insight as result of meditation. It would be just too much to continue at this point with meditation.

Silvarion
I've met the elven woman named Silvarion, a mage from Myth Drannor. Well versed in wordplay, symbols and gestures. I dared not to step ahead of her, when we walked through the woods.
Hues
Something happened to me… Am I losing my sanity again? Was it Selune's way to tell me hues of my soul? I've ended up black, which I find pretty depressing. Need to spend some time with Richard, my younger brother.

Raila
Met a woman named Raila, woman who has experienced much. She is fighting undead, boldly walking into the night to put them to rest.
I am not the one to tell her how to live, but one thought comes to my mind.
One has to be very brave or very foolish to go to cementery at night to face vampires.
I'll be praying to Selune to guide her, and thinking good thoughts for her sake.

Of faith and fears
Faith gives me strength and happiness.
Faith in Selune, in myself, and in goodness that is in everyone.
I do not see people as evil or good. I see them as either trusting or fearful.
Everytime they hear someone, they think of themselves, their strengths and fears, reflected in words as within a mirror. And seeing themselves… they either believe that it will be better or run away, or defend themselves.
How can you blame someone who is scared?
