Wyrm

Cove Rat and I went exploring the newly found lands of Tiquanda today... It was so lovely there, wild botanical growth... Never before seen animals and creatures, very nice place overall... Cove Rat had to stay behind for a while, I think the heat of the jungle got to him... I went ahead solo, I must have taken a few pages from the rat book though... Because I was a little 'too' adventurous, storming straight into the apes kingdom... I must have completely frozen with shock and fear, because every blue rock I used upon my body bounced off... The apes demoralized my Crusader Helmet unfortunately... Though I was lucky to make it through the underworld with my Giant Sword intact!

Yesterday at HTS Yeqkita and I where getting a little bored waiting for everyone else... So we tested some damages, I hit her very poorly, as I only had my Bright Sword with me... She hit me for 144 though, with her strong Sudden Death rune, impressive indeed.

I felt very stupid at HTS, Sun Henceforth was kind enough to summon me a training Ghoul... I was not paying enough attention though, and ended up killing the poor thing... Which reminds me, I must send her some sort of remuneration for that.

I spoke with Majestic Sorcerer a few days ago, and in the lengthy conversation we had, he asked me when I write in my journal... I told him "whenever I have something to say"... Well, I hope this counts, because I feel like just rambling about a few various events at the moment... So here goes.

Time for another Henceforth Training Sunday (HTS)... Yeqkita wanted me to be her guest for this weeks HTS, though I told her I was already coming... She seemed a little disappointed, I told her I would be her guest anyway... She just frowned at me though.

I'm feeling pretty bored and sleepy today... My hands are completely covered in green goo from stabbing Slimes repeatedly over many hours.

I found it fairly funny when my neighbor, Hash Meir Henceforth messaged me saying "the wheat has grown"... Only to trek to my house, anticipating the fresh wheat just waiting to be cut... To find green wheat growing... Oh well, guess that Scythe will have to rest a little longer on the mantel piece.

Today I have been invited to the very powerful yet peaceful guild, Myrmidon... The leader is Fury Guardian of Fire, one of the most respected Royal Paladins in my world, Rubera... I have two good friends in Myrmidon, Cove Rat and Ryan Master At Arms... I hope to make other good friends in the guild also.
The major rules and regulations are:

• No power abusing
• No skull hunting
• No killing unless with a good reason

If anyone in Myrmidon break any of these rules and regulations, they will receive no support from the guild in the matter. I believe because of this, Myrmidon will be possible to grow large yet be always respected. If a problem arises with any member and the member is in the wrong, the matter will not be solved by the guild... So nobody can blame the guild as a whole for anything, only it's members (if the situation ever arises).

I am very happy, my journal has attracted the watchful eye of the clever journalists over at the biggest Tibian newspaper. They have written a small article about my adventures, which can be found in all it's black and white glory right here.

The famous Fisher Plenetnorad came to visit my humble home today. I didn't see him for a few moments, as I was milling a great bale of wheat into flour at the time.

We eventually saw each other, and had a great chat of Fishing versus harvesting... I was of the stance Fishing was noble and more rewarding... Though at the same time not as time consuming as harvesting... He told me in a gruff voice (as only a master Fisher can) "Fishing is harder than you think"... "You must find the 'right spot' and the correct Bait to Fish well".

I suppose I have a lot to learn about Fishing, but I do know already... Water Dragons LOVE FISH! FCHHH!

I have not a long history, really it's quite short. I'm still young but learning fast...

I was raised in the world of Rubera by Dragon and Dragon Lord, I lived with them in the fiery dens of deep Fibula. It was a great time, mother would teach me about hunting... We started with Rats and advanced slowly to Deer... Father taught me about the great wars and struggles of our kind long ago. But now, I seem to be slowly forgetting everything said to me at the time. I shall start from the beginning of my maturity...

I woke up one morning, the day was like any other though I felt a little odd... Strange ripple like effects where traversing my scales, I looked at them in awe as they almost magically went from green to blue, then alternated between blue and translucent... At the peak of opacity I could see through my scales like looking at objects through water. I wasn't scared, though I did get somewhat concerned... I hasted toward the exit of my room, hoping to be greeted by my parents with some sort of explanation to my erratic color change. Instead I was greeted by an empty den... Where are they, I muttered under my breath... I searched all over the home and around the other dragon dens, but found nobody. Then it struck me, it was the seventh of September, the annual Cyclops hunt... I couldn't believe I forgot, was this strange watery effect messing with my mind as well as my body?

I waited all day, what seemed like an eternity of hunting Deer and other various sources of fresh meat... My grand fire spells seemed to be fizzling each time I used them though, until I was forced to scratch at the animals... Then finally I heard the familiar "FCHHH" of my father off in the distance... I raced over as fast as I could, excited to see him...

Then... It... happened...

It's nearly too painful to recollect, he simply didn't know me... He stared at me, like he would a victim of his wrath, though at the same time he looked shocked and scared for just a moment... He waved my body with spell after spell of intense fire, the scales upon my back began to melt and my body was scared and burned intensely...

I must have blacked out at that point, because the last thing I can remember after that is regaining consciousness in the Kazordoon temple... Weary and hurt, both emotionally and physically... What had just happened, I tried to figure it out... But to no avail, it was a complete mystery...

Something else happened though, instead of looking like a dragon, I looked like a Knight... Though my armor was more scale like than metal and I was still blue and somewhat translucent.. This all made little sense to me, but I tried to make the best of my new self... I met a great Knight called Odd Henceforth whom introduced me to who feels like my adoptive mother now, Sun Henceforth... Her and all the other Henceforth embraced me for who I am and never judged me for being a dragon... But I still longed for information as to why I was changed to a Knight, why I had lost my fire type powers and why my own father attacked me so ferociously... And I got my answers, well at least some...

The great wizard Agni Henceforth spoke to my soul one day, he told me my true mother was not Dragon... But in fact a mermaid... He explained that is why my powers ceased, but also taught me of my new water powers... Then it was clear to me, I was no longer just a dragon nor a Knight, I was a Water Dragon imbued within a Knight...I was shocked and in disbelief, but at the same time it made complete sense... It is hard to understand in a way though, because not one person has ever seen a mermaid, could Agni Henceforth have seen my mother? How does he know?

I am happy these days, my past still haunts me with too many questions... But I have a great life now, as a Water Dragon, and as a Knight.

I advanced to Magic Level 5 and to 70 Sword Fighting today, I'm very happy. I won't be photographing every advance as I am the first to point out how boring that is. Though these are special to me.

As a bit of a side note, my good friend Thororrek told me just a few minutes ago he will try training for 24 hours straight. I don't know if this is a good idea for his health and wellbeing, but I wish him the best.
