12 Novander

I have donned my finer clothes to enter this city. The establishments look more upscale than I usually prefer.

For some reason a sorcer by the name of... Moorn... (cannot spell his other name, damn my lower class education) has been searching for me. Apparently he wants my 'unique talent'. I have no idea why. I'd freely give it, but he said something about pain.
I can take only so much.
Then, I find myself in a sort of prison. Another dimmension. This Moorn opened the portal leading here, and rather than face him as my defenses were low, I took it as an escape. However, it appears I fell right into his trap. There is another here who is his victim as well. There is a whole village of people who are trapped here. And apparently there is no way out.
Gods, how will I find her again?

-Skye

It looks as though there will be trouble soon. Pistol seems anxious to leave this place.


The gaurdian-beast of this realm.




Mi'ehna is a strong woman. Strong enough to knock me to my feet with a a single blow.

And some.

I felt horribly chilsish about the mess, really. I was wounded. By Mi'ehna, no less. A cut deep enough to drain the life out of me. But she sent for a healer. And I felt terribly uncomfortable about it. I didn't want that woman to touch me. So like a stubborn Dalhar.
And what of my old woman? She would never touch me but to hurt me. But somehow I'd be damned to let anyone else touch me before her.
What a fool I am.



15 Novander?

Nightmares again. Blood. I woke up and thought I was drowning in it. But it turned out to be Mi'ehna's blanket. I'd forgotten I was asleep on it. I might be becoming too attached to her.
The dancer has a name. Hadone. So says the familiar that has attached itself to her.
The nightmare has left me feeling sick inside, and I cannot think of food without thinking about the blood...
At least the sunrise is beautiful.

...

I cannot begin to descibe it. I wanted to tell her not to give a damn about me, but...

I am ashamed of this mark. How trusting should I be? I can be executed at any time.



16 Novander?

Knowing everything that I know about Dothaven now, the way it works, makes things difficult. I think I may know a way out of here, but it would damage the whole system, and the idea is to get out of here without doing that.

I woke up and Mi'ehna was there. Nightmares are more bearable when she is part of the reality that calls me out of the dreams.

I was told to go to the Air Temple.



17 Novander

I have returned home. To the blue house between the city and sea. Mi'ehna has come, too.
Danny is acting strange. I think it is because his Deathday approaches.



18 Novander

'Tif, by accident, has become human. I have been trying to locate her book, but apparently it is lost in one of the alternate worlds/dimmensions in the house.
Mi'ehna and I went to Mund to find it and were unsuccessful.

Mi'ehna

Mi'ehna

Mi'ehna

She said she loves me. And I love her.
It has only just occured to me that St. Roma's day will be here soon.



19 Novander

We're going to Moir Brach in the morning, since this whole thing with Danny and 'Tif has been settled. Darien's going to Terra Azul, and we'll meet up with him on the island, hopefully in time for Saint Roma's.



20 Novander

Mi'ehna

Mi'ehna

Mi'ehna

She is mine. All of her. And all of me is hers. Lord of Light. I am complete. I feel as though my whole life I have been walking around with something missing. And Mi'ehna was the only one who could give it to me.



21 Novander

I won't waste words on all the things I could say about Mi'ehna. How she makes me feel, the things she does to make my light thrive. I don't deserve her. Don't deserve to be so happy. But I am hers. Lord of light. I can't even look at her without wanting to drag her into bed. Of course, there are other things I love about her. Her laughter. The way she treats others... especially Buddybot. How she speaks to me, out loud or in my mind. The way her light is. And the fact that she is there when the nightmares come. Because it always feels better to wake up with Mi'ehna in my arms than to the darkness of early morning, blood on my hands.

We are in a pocket dimmension, avoiding the Govern of Terra Azul. Darien was told that a witness has come forward, claiming to have seen me commit the sin of murder. I hope that this is a false messenger...
A woman named Quava lives here, and she is a friend of Mi'ehna's. At first I was jealous of her, but I think I like her, in a weird way.



23 Novander

Quava gave us a scare yesterday, but things turned out fine. Hopefully Darien has reached Terra Azul by now, and will get things settled.
I asked Mi to marry me... and she said yes.

Today is Saint Oceania's Day, and I wonder if 'Tif will go to the beach to dance and collect shells. She's seen the celebration before, but didn't join because she wasn't sure if the people would accept a genie with them.



1 Decander

So much has happened today that I cannot think of where to start.
I must remember to consider carefully whenever Mi'ehna asks if I am opposed to public displays of affection.
I had a horrible nightmare the other day... so horrible. I fell into it again today, and didn't wake up so that Mi'ehna felt the need to travel into my mind and banish it. She brought back a memory that was buried deep in my mind... the memory that proves my innocence.

Mi'ehna

Mi'ehna

Mi'ehna

She saw other parts of my mind... the part of my mind where I stored all of my desires. There... I created a child, and named him Isiah. Mine and Mi'ehna's child. She saw that.

Quava... Quava is happy again. `Tif and I together granted her wish to exorcise the poison from her light. She is smiling again, and so is Mi'ehna.
I only want to think about the happy things now. I'll leave the problems for tomorrow...



3 Decander

Mi'ehna Sheridan Sands & Skye Sands of Sheridan, husband and wife.

Today has been like something out of a good dream. And I don't have those often.

But... something else. Yet another thing that plagues me... Mi'ehna is dying. But there is hope. Hope. I can save her. And I will. I promised to protect her. And she promised that nothing would tear her from my arms.

For now, she sleeps.

She's so beautiful...



8 Decander

The past days have been... strange. I am learning to take care of children. Mi'ehna is a difficult child at times, but then she looks at me with those golden orbs and I can't help but smile.
Every day I sing for her and tell her stories. Once she woke me up in the middle of the night, crying. Likely she had a nightmare. I let her sleep in my bed with me, careful not to hurt her, and when I woke she had grown a little.



12 Decander

Today is Saint Roma's Day. I baked a heart-shaped cake with Trinity's help for Mi'ehna, and she enjoyed it very much. Afterward we played in the sand for a long while. Slowly her memory is coming back to her, and she looks at me almost the way she used to and crawls into bed with me when she has nightmares.



16 Decander

The other morning Mi'ehna awoke a little older and with more memory... she asked me to clarify how we had met, and then I took her to one of my favorite waterfalls on the island and we sparred a little with practice swords. She's as strong as ever.



21 Decander

This morning I was surprised when I awoke... Mi'ehna is quite near her age again. She looks to be something around twelve years. She asked me more questions, and I told her I loved her. Asked her if she understood. She seemed to, for she kissed my cheek and asked if we could get rid of the spare bed she sleeps in so that she can sleep with me every night.



2 Juno

Mi'ehna looked at me today. Really looked at me. Then she asked for me to sing to her before we went to sleep.



7 Juno.

When I woke up this morning, she was looking down at me, and I wondered if the past weeks had been a dream. But there was something different about her. She kissed me and told me she loved me. And I was finally able to hold her again without feeling slightly akward about it.
I don't know if she remembers that we are married. I had `Tif make a book for her with all of my memories in it... a magic book that plays out the scenes of my memories like a minature puppet show. Tomorrow I will show it to her and we will watch the sunset together.



10 Mars

We are in Sol, having finished the Tournament Sol. Mi emerged the champion, and I am very proud of her. Although... the last fight turned rather... I don't want to write about it. Hurts too much still. Lord of Light. I love her. And I don't want to hurt her. Ever.

I think I would have rather turned my sword around and used it on myself.



26 Juno

Paz is calm... since we have been here I seem to be living in a dream. Mi'ehna is happy. The beach is beautiful.
There have been few happy moments in my life before finding her... but after finding her... after Mi'ehna, it's hard to point out the moments that are the happiest. When we first completed one another. Our wedding day. And today. She said... she said she wants to bear my child. It's a wonderful thing for a man to hear. To hear the woman he loves say that she wants to create a new life for him.
It was the best birthday gift I have ever recieved. Granted, tomorrow is my birthday, nto today. Still.



*Skye's diclaimer: ("Oi, Authoress Lady, what's a discalimer?" [La Divina]: Well, Skye, it's a breif sentence that people use when they are saying they don't own something. Skye: "There are plenty of things I don't own... But I do own Mi..." [La Divina]: "The dividers, you dolt! And keep your personal business to yourself, pervert.")

I didn't draw these nice dividers. [Mister Saint], the Radish Moorn's Author, made them. I have no artistic talent. My Authoress said I could have one or the other: swordsmanship or artistic talent. My drawings would make even Uxurd laugh, no doubt, so I think you can guess which one I chose. (See butt-ugly rendering of the Malfuel above as evidence.) As [Nightshadow] says: "The pen is only mightier than the sword when no one's pointing a sword at you." I agree.*

























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































To Mi'ehna, my wife -
   I cannot begin to put in words how much you mean to me.
   Mere ink and paper are not enough to measure my love
   for you. But I wanted this to be one of the first things
   you read on your own.
   Just these words:
      Mi, you are my light, my strength, and my reason to
      live. From the moment I wake each day, to the
      moment I fall asleep with you in my arms each
      night, my heart only belongs to you. I love you
      with every fiber of my being and all the light I
      posess.
         -Skye
