Entry #2 – Fae Flitter Front
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
When I left home, the Behemoth on the horizon called to me, so here I am in the Viridian Labyrinth. Soon after I started flying over the swamps, the trees below erupted in color. I thought it was butterflies, then birds, but it was dozens of fae! They swirled around, welcoming me and asking if I was here for the rites. They were on their way back to their clan's main camp to celebrate Greenskeeper Gathering, and they invited me to join them.
I never realized how harsh life in the wilderness is. While travelling, we had to drive off many huge creatures, yet the fae are fearless. It was exhilarating and terrifying, being part of a coordinated team, harrying the beasts until they fled. I feel so much stronger, confident I can brave the wider world now.
Along the way they told me that during Greenskeeper, it was traditional for their clan to host and celebrate dragons that were becoming fae. They call it the Rite of Transformation. I have always been fascinated with fae, and being here among them just feels so right. By the time we reached the gathering, I knew I wanted to participate.
The rite was at sundown, and afterward I went hunting with my new flock. We went whirling in and out of branches, catching insects on the wing until our bellies were full. Then we hung from tree branches, sharing stories and listening to the songs of the swamp. The next day, my new family gave me a cheerful sendoff with the sunrise, my bags filled with insect snacks and gifts for my travels.

Entry #3 – The Pyrotic City
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
After leaving the Labyrinth I ran into a small group of dragons who were leaving after the Greenskeeper festivities had ended. In exchange for some of the insects and a surprisingly small amount of treasure they agreed to guide me through Shadow and Water to the small city where their clan made their home. Along the way I cautiously spoke to the friendlier members of the group and learned that they were a Plague clan located near Plague, Wind, and Arcane. The two leaders of the group told me that they were there for both the festivities and to gather plant samples for an allied clan in Arcane, and that it was less of one single clan and more a group of small individual ones
We made it to the city about 2 days later at dusk, remarkably quick considering how many of us there were on this trip. Looking around the area, there are many shops and temporary stalls being run by dragons. I headed to a nearby inn and restaurant and requested that the mirror running the inn let me stay the night. To my surprise, when I asked for the cost, they said I could pay it off, and earn some extra, with a single day’s work at their diner.
Working there was largely uneventful, aside from some small blunders; waiting in a restaurant doesn’t seem to be my calling in the slightest. A black and purple coatl wearing a dark hat of a similar style to mine came in and complimented it, and when they left, they gave me a small tip in the form of a white feathered armband with a perfectly cleaned bird skull tied to it. A very embarrassing encounter, as I wasn’t expecting it and the other workers (the mirrors children?) teased me quite a bit. After the day’s work was done, I was given my payment, alongside a few excess medical herbs and a meal, and went on my way, to go wherever I felt next

Entry #4 – GOOD COMPANY && Silencia Inn
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
MAGNUS GOOD COMPANY WAS HERE XOXO
How in the world did that dragon manage to scrawl those letters into my journal so... permanently?! Deities know I've been scrubbing at it for hours now, but I don't think anything short of ripping the page out will let me be rid of it… Oh, well. I suppose it's a fitting reminder of this part of my journey.
GOOD COMPANY. The first group that collected me in this string of strange, strange encounters. (Apparently the capitalization is a part of its 'brand', so I'm afraid I cannot risk writing it as Good Company without receiving some sort of 'copyright strike or whatever', as stated by the same dragon who graffiti'd my journal.) From what I could tell, they positively embodied that reckless spirit that rogue bandit-types always possess. If I hadn’t been approached by that silver-tongued imperial in their party, I doubt I would have chosen to turn to them for assistance after getting caught in that dust storm as I was entering Dragonhome. The chaos they operated with simply appeared overwhelming—which is saying something, given how this impression of them was formed while my senses were largely obscured by dust and howling winds.
But what happened, happened. The imperial I mentioned coerced me into paying a ‘small fee’ (which was actually pretty small, surprisingly) for them to escort me through the region. And that’s exactly what they did… for what felt like an eternity. I fear recounting the experiences I went through in their company will cause me unnecessary stress over the journey ahead, so I’ll just say this: I wondered, multiple times, how no one in our party (including me) had died or been grievously wounded over the course of our journey.
Granted, they did escort me to their base as promised with nary a scratch, but by then I had had enough. The first chance I got, I asked directions from one of the more sane level-headed members and was out of there! The directions I received supposedly lead to an inn, and so I decided to make a quick stop there before departing from the area.
The inn was lovely. Spacious, tastefully decorated, and best of all, peaceful. None of their facilities were particularly large, I noted, but I still had a lovely time wandering the garden and the library. What both those areas lacked in size they made up for in the obvious love and care that had been poured into both. (I hope to be that passionate about my own craft someday…!)
I think it’s also worth mentioning that I had quite a fun game of cards with one of the inn’s staff. The surprise on her face when I won was certainly something; I won’t lie, I felt pretty accomplished (especially considering how I still don’t fully understand any of the rules).
It’s my last night in the inn now, and by extension, this area of Sornieth. As such, I’ve chosen to reflect a bit on the groups I encountered this time.
Honestly, I’m terribly glad that nobody from GOOD COMPANY attempted to follow me here. I don’t think I’d ever be able to handle that much chaos again in my life! Though their casual camaraderie was admirable, I suppose. Now that I think about it, it seems that the constant chaos brought them closer together, while the dragons within the peaceful inn were… distant. There were friends, yet not all friends were friends, in comparison to the company being like a rowdy blood-of-covenant-is-thicker-than-water-of-womb family. It almost makes me wonder how I felt as comfortable in the inn as I did.
Discordant unity versus tranquil solitude. I wonder which of the two I would prefer, if I were to choose.
(... Perhaps the former, since several of the company members complimented my hat and wore similar ones of their own.)

Entry #7 – Litore
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
I decided to come back to the Tangled Wood. Something about the glowing mushrooms and plants called me to return. I explored the Wispwillow Grove, and happened upon a small clan that was situated on a lake's coast with a river flowing out of it. It surprised me- I hadn't seen any sign of civilization before it. I'd suspect that it was magically hidden somehow, but I doubt that. This place seems rather peaceful. Whatever would they have to hide?
Something about this clan doesn't seem quite right, but I can't place my finger on it. It wasn't the members, instead I believe it was the environment around us. Those woods hold secrets I don't wish to find out, although it seems that some already know them. The shadows are darker, thicker, and mushrooms grow in conspicuous rings. I didn't spend much time in the forest, preferring to spend my time in the town instead.
This clan, which calls themselves Litore, have a lovely couple as their clan leaders. One of them runs a tea shop with the most amazing flavors, and she gave me a newcomer's discount! Her wife appeared less keen to meet me, unfortunately. Their eleven offspring seemed… rather odd.
They all have what I can only describe as halos, although the shape varied from child to child. The eldest had one of ever-flowing water, and the youngest had one that appeared to be made of bones and pungent, rotten flesh. Her sister had blooming buttercups and vines, and another had a halo of crystalline ice that appeared it would shatter if you tapped it.
I must get moving on. Something about this place makes me uneasy. I feel that if I stay too long, I might never leave.
