Dear Journal,

Well my time here at Lok ' Groton Isles had been anything but boring. I have been here quite awhile now. I seem to be getting stronger everyday. I do miss my adopted parents but at least i have my husband Tumo and my new found twin sister Solas. I have also made many friends here. I would name them all...but im afraid i would be writing forever. This is my first entry in my journal, but it definitely won't be my last. The idea of making a journal occured to me the other day...as i lay fallen and watched the rescuers running around me. I didn't know two of them...and tried to place there names in my memory for future reference. I then realized that i seem to be forgetting many of the lil things that have happened since i have been on the island. Things that had been so important at the time seemed to have lost there places to newer things. I don't want to forget anyone..or anything that happens so this will be my memories for my time on the islands. I also hope to any reading this...that you may find things of use to you. Exspecially newer exiles....as i am not yet very experienced...and have much to learn. Hopefully...as everyone is able to watch the stages of growth they can take notes...or if not...at least i still will have my memories.

Dear Journal,

Wow a lot of things have happened the past few days. I took many pictures and will be making a photo album for all to view. There was an invasion of darshaq...and it lasted for sooo long. I was even able to help. Usually im one of the exiles that seems to fall and get in the way more then help, but not this time. I used my chain and helped chain out other fallens. It was a great feeling. I have tried AGAIN to pass the 2nd circle fighter test and once again wasn't quite able to get those feral. It seems like i will never pass. Oh well...guess i just need more practice. I have also been trying to think of new challenges for the clan. I have even written one down and passed it out to the clan members to read. I even am running for council *big smiles* I feel its a great honor to even be on the ballot. If voted for i would certainly do my best. Anyway i think i will work on my photo album. Until i write again. Be well.....

Dear Journal,

I can't believe it!!! I made HIgh Disciple for the Sun Dragon Clan. I am soooo happy its more then words can say. I will do my very best for the clan...giving everything i have and more. I was so excited when i found out and wrote my husband Tumo right away. He was off training fighters at the time. I can't wait till our next clan hunt. Speaking of which last Clan Hunt time we didn't have one but i went with a group to snaggy..through "wishers gate" into an area i believe was called boneswood. It was very difficult. Many Locks...and hatreds and other things spawning all around. I couldn't tell if i was being hit by lightning or on fire...I should have known it was not a good day for such adventures when my chain broke. That was a sign from the gods now that i look back at it. I was having too much fun and excitement to leave though. With the help of many great fighters and healers and mystics we were able to push our way in and make it to the other side of the snell. Unfortunatley we pushed a little to hard..and the excitement left for one very large careless mistake. We didn't watch our backs..and before we knew what was happening Locks had spawned behind us..at the entrance. Before long...we were all fallen in varias areas about the snell. Attemts were made by fearless exiles trying to recover our fallen bodies to little or no avail. I had fallen way way in the north east corner. It would be impossible to get to me without a large group. Unfortunately the strongest of fighters were also fallen inside. After laying there keeping hope alive for 4 1/2 ooc hours i departed. It was not worth the lives of those who so bravely kept trying to save me. They were also falling one after another. It was my first depart. I don't regret it though. By departing..who knows how many others didn't have to. *smiles* All in all its been a busy week. I have taken many new pictures for my photo album which should be added soon. Till we meet again....
