Something Feels Amiss.
Journal Entry - Robin Grodenchik
Well, its been a few days since we've boarded the ship from Panov. What an odd name, but whatever. Anyway. We should have arrived today, but the captain has said he's ordered a safer path to avoid the reef that sank my father's ship so many seasons ago before we had arrived in Mossflower. The troubling thing is, we should have already passed the reef. I can't help but feel something is amiss.
The crew seems friendly enough, and they've seemed to take a liking for my more sea themed music. But something just feels wrong. I can't put my finger on it just yet though, but if we don't arrive tomorrow at our destination of Koperov (Koe-Per-Off), I'm going to start questioning the captain a little more.
That's enough about that. I miss home. Its been a long few weeks. The journey north without Syla, Jolee, or Eden has been, well. Its been hard to say the least. I'm not used to being away from my wife for so long, and I know I'm going to miss a good bulk of my children's life while I'm away.
I'm looking forward to seeing what my dad was left in the will of his cousin. But that seems a little iffy. Dad, from what I can tell, already has quite a fair bit of coin stashed away, and lands? If we were to get lands, what would we do with it? Sell it, or move to Koperov? I don't know, but I like Mossflower. It would be hard to adapt to the constant cold I think. It will be hard already being there, I'm sure. I was there with Bale so many seasons ago...I sort of remember it all but not exactly.
Drat, I'm starting to run out of room on this parchment. See reverse!

Well, that's a bit better. Tagger's right, writing down my thoughts is...quite comforting, and a nice distraction. Granted, so is music. I've been writing more and more songs without Syla, and its a lot harder than I ever imagined. Our story is taking shape, and I can only wonder what parts of our tale Syla will be writing about. I've come up with so many plot points to our opera and its becoming harder to know whether I should continue writing about the epic and sad journey of my favorite character, or should I just sit back, write more about my own journey, and compare what I've written with Syla when I return home? I don't know. But I do have many other ideas for stories. And Chris asked me to write some to accompany the book he's been working on. I can't wait to read it when its finished.
Well, journal, the waves are putting me to sleep. I'll continue another day I think. Writing like this has been nice.
