A thick, messy stack of drawings are piled by the bed. Other notes weren't scattered about the floor anymore and were nearly neat in a stack, partially bound as pages. A campfire gives light to the whole tent while Torrance is admiring another potted plant and on top of the bed was his latest notes.

The notes read:

* Today... wasn't so fun. I had traveled to a great cave with others. There was something eerie with the ruins and it reminded me of why my clan moves around. I heard a few stories of a blind beast what claws its way out of the ground just to hunt you down with only scent and sound from my clan's elders but I never thought there would be truth to them.

* My stealth was... weak and I nearly died several times. I didn't leave without a few scars though and a fear of caves covered in dark glowing goo. However, I can't say the same for those who fought the beast. All for its head... can you believe that? They did get what the job asked for so... bonus? Time to recover from that chaos.

* I started my travels again. I went to a city. I don't remember the name as I kept getting lost and was even threatened of being leashed by my guides... many times. I didn't like the lack of forests but that might be from me having lived in such a place for majority of my life. I doubt I'll go back there but I marked it on my map anyways.

* I visited another city. This one had many ghasts in a stable. (I had to learn what those were from the kind villager back in Serrano since I've seen Mr. Gold using them) I ran around that city and didn't get as lost to be threatened with a leash like a pup again thankfully. I got to see the temple of their god as well. I never understood religion but its what people enjoy. I saw something eerie there too but don't have the words for what it's called.

* I returned to Serrano. Things have changed so much since I was last here. There's a quarry now, several new builds, and even a castle near where my old tent was. I went into the cave systems one last time for exploring sakes and to see if I still feared them and turns out I'm not as afraid as I once was. I didn't stay long and decided to go to Rovina, a small town under Serrano rule, and thats where I am now.

* Today, I started planting seeds with some villagers but i ended up traveling away from them too. I decided to set camp near a lava pit and found more foliage I wish to keep. I think a farmer lives here already but I haven't met them yet. I'll have to wait and see.

* I MET THEM FINALLY!! So my new place of rest is owned by a wood elf. I've never met a wood elf before... or maybe I had when I was young but she seems rather fun to be around. Right! Her name! I believe it was Talia? or Talin? I don't know how to spell it. I'll have to ask her for it so I can practice it.

On this note there's a different style of handwriting. A more neat and elegant font which was miles different than Torraence's sloppy and almost child like font. The elegant writing was of a name: Talindra Zumrora. Underneath was Torraence's writing with an arrow pointing to it. That's the elf lady's name.
