So the siege has set in now. Always figured a siege was the worst type of warfare slow...A waiting game. Well I'll wait, and when the bringers decide to come and meet my axe, we'll be here ready.

My mother tried to stab a Bringer for me. I ... guess it just goes to show that no matter how old you get, your mother will always try to stab someone for you?

I met with the Archlector of Lagoma. I was pleased to speak with them, and hope to learn more of the special role the Lady of Change can bring; and learn of the fires which burn and alter us all.

I have been thinking of late about doing something, other then just sitting here. I mean I did help with the fighting but, I mean I need something to do.
If I do not find something soon I fear the call of the sea will wring to loudly and drown everything out and I will again be on my own. I have grown the liking of being around family and those I care about but it is also something I am not use to.
I sometimes wish I could close it all off, turn the flood gates off and become cold so that I could not care and I could better do my job.
Gloria help me in what I need to do please, I find myself in a cross roads and I do not know what path to walk down.

I thought I knew who she was, I thought I understood her but since I have come back at the request of our cousin things have changed.
She has changed who are you, what have you done with my sweet Arcelia.

I have to thank Sophie and Legate Orazio for making sure my "death" wasn't a permanent condition. That being said, Gloria blessed me in two ways: not only did She give me the stamina to survive, she also empowered Reese after my prayer to defend me as I was covering the healers' retreat. We will prevail.

Sparte
Some people react to real combat by withering in on themselves or tensing so much they look ready to snap at any moment. And others, those born for the rush of conflict, whether they take joy in that calling or not, are more themselves in those frantic moments than any other time in their lives.
I knew Spar would be a kindred spirit, but didn't know just how much so until I saw him play wiseass to the face of an angry Bringer beserker.
I love this kid. We need to find him more deadly enounters to be flung into. His humor during them is a gift to the world.

My collection of bringer skulls is pretty, but not big enough. I do so very much enjoy expanding it though. And yes, I say this, even knowing I will likely start receiving more angry letters now about inappropriate behaviour, though I somehow doubt I'll get raked over the coals for taking glee in this particular sort of slaughter. Then again, never underestimate the ability for people to get upset over things. Anyone care for a debate about Bringers rights to life?

I dream at night. The men are ready and while I wish not for foul things in war. I have the harpoons lashed to the decks. The barrels ready. The men who taste for a gloried death have anointed to their chosen fate. Every ship in the fleet waits with impatience but none more so than I.
Somewhere out there the eye lingers. And somewhere I shall hunt it and I shall take it as my prize. The horror shall sleep.
"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering kraken; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee."

I'm sure I'll never make a shot like that again in my lifetime, but -damn- did it feel good to stick an arrow in a herald's eye. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud of being able to do so from the ramparts as the siege first arrived. In the grand scheme of things, I know one shot won't be what makes the difference. Most of all, I look forward to the moment he crumbles under our collective efforts. We are all capable of more than we ever expected when everything is on the line. My world may be shaken as of late, but my faith in our people remains steadfast.

Been a lot of talk and a lot of thinking about gardens recently it seems like.
I think most people would consider the difference in gardens being ones that are raised for aesthetic value and ones raised for food.
I think that the real difference should be between those that are crafted and those that are allowed to live on their own. The shrine of Lagoma and the Stone Grove are both places where the plants have been allowed to take their own path, and that is far more interesting than the carefully crafted rows and placements of those gardens made for lords and ladies who want to look at pretty things and ignore what they really are supposed to symbolize.

I have often wondered whether the Vellichoran scribes operate with a skeleton crew throughout much of the week, but reinforce their numbers every seven days to handle the dramatic influx of journal deliveries. I will have to make a few inquiries to appease my curiosity.
P.S. Future reader in decades or centuries ahead, do not believe that the Vellichoran scribes were actually skeletons. It is a figure of speech. Thank you.

War comes to Arx. And I look from the balcony window with an eye to the port. I must confess I care little about this war besides the glory of my brethren who must unfortunately miss the death and rather Thraxian war that will take place in the Salt.
So long as the port remains open my time shall be spent killing Gyre. With luck they won't let Arx get sacked while I spread fear in the deep.

Lady Tikva possesses a youthful energy that is refreshing during a siege. No doubt that energy is what gives her the motivation to perform the duties which she does. She cares a great deal and finds the tales of others refreshing, which in many cases I would find to be intrusive and altogether unwelcome. When she asks however it seems out of genuine curiosity rather than some attempt at gathering information for her own uses. I look forward to learning more of her and the Riven's in general. Aside from her personality she is apparently a scout of some sort, which is a decidedly dangerous role from a military standpoint due to so often being separate of a larger military force and often rather close to, or even behind, enemy lines.
I'll pray to the gods for her continued safety.

Luca took a liking to me for reasons I'll never really understand, but I like him as well. We have very little in common on most days, but his guidance in the art of not being where people who don't like us are aiming has probably saved my life several times over. I've even managed to save his life, though that was just the right place at the right time. I'd say he is a good man but he'll likely read this, and might take offense. I am fortunate to know you, Frog Prince.
