As months pass and Frustration of feeling, to not fit in. This land was so confusing and the people seemed contrary and boisterous and I seemed to be a bundle of anger .........
....as I tried to conquer my savage emotions and stay within the shadows boredom and loneliness begins to madden me.....secretly I must find my first friend in this new kingdom and seek out his companionship. Someone who sees the good within me. Many months had past and perhaps the friendship would not be the same. Yet it was the closest I have felt to anyone here and right now I needed an escape from those who seemed to only see the anger inside me.
Walking up the path to the cabin, that fear inside me , what if he does not want me here. *knocking on the door, an sighing biting my lip* the door opens, there before me stood the friend and the smile I had so needed to see. Coffee was a new thing for me,,,,as he tells me "this is a drink not everyone enjoys"...........but I liked it and chatting seemed to be relaxing .....this is the friend I had missed so much the last few months and it was wonderful to see that smile again. I could see life had been wearing on his mind and it appeared he to needed a break from it all. As I watch him move from his chair, I could see he was bringing a book....."here" he says as he opens the book...."lets go for a small adventure.." smiling at me he shows me the rune and nods to me to take myself there. I could tell we had made way to the old world, and here there were not many around as in most places I had travelled in the old lands, but here it was cold and the ground was covered white.......as I turn to look at him to ask what this was....*wham* I get hit with a ball made of this white substance from the ground. "Oh you think that's funny" laughing as I try to do the same and throw at him. "This is snow" he says as he laughs at me brushing this off my hair. "Snow" I say looking confused. The day passes quickly and I don't think either of us wanted to leave....this was a magical place, cold yet it was like a wonderland......... and I LOVED it here. It was like this place knew me...knew the explosion of my emotions I had bottled up for so long. This would be my hideaway and where I wanted to stay ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as I looked up to Dirnim I saw it in his face he felt the same way.....wandering the island there were beasts of many kinds, beautiful white bears seemed to be my favorite, I had always been fond of bears since my arrival to Britainia, and these were magnificent and gorgeous and they seemed to love me. I was just so caught up in them gathering around me I hadn't noticed that Dirnim wasn't near. As I turn looking for him I heard the moan of the most terrifying beast, as it fell to the ground, skin of bluish tint and large head thumping the ground.....I look from just past it and see Dirnim shaking his head...."you are going to have to pay attention here that thing coulda killed you...." he says in a concerned voice. Still caught up with the bears adoring me and smiling " but look are they not the most beautiful beings you have ever seen?" saying as I try to avoid the Troll topic. " ....and Yes I see now I will pay attention". This was a beautiful place but there were dangers here and it seemed not to be perfect, but to me it was more then perfect. As we approached an opening into the mountain the bears seemed to slowly fade back into the snow lands, of coarse Dirnim just had to see what was down the pathway, so we made way deeper to the center of the mountain until we came to what seemed to be a cave. Not even giving me a look he steps into the cave. As I stop for a second and with a deep sigh, something inside me seemed to just know this wasn't a good idea but following right behind him I step into the darkness of the cave. Within a short distance inside the cave it seemed to be inhabited, the walls were man made and bricked and the moaning and sounds within these walls were haunting and the aura was chilling. Turning to look at me ...."DUCK" , Dirnim loudly yells at me.Ducking and dodging to the side as his arrow flys past me and into a skeletal thing behind me. Bones clinking to the ground in a pile on the floor behind me I stood there in shock. "These are the bones of dead people..." is all that could come out of my mouth. " well actually they are Undead " says Dirnim. This land I have stepped into from Eodan had so many Odd things within it, then again I supose these people would say that about the lands I come from. From down the dark Corridor we could hear more of the same sounds of this thing and it seemed to be more then just a few, Quickly shoving me back to the Cave entrance Dirnim grabs my arm and drags me outside "Let's
make way to the snow, quick! "......They seemed to follow beyond the cave.....as we reach the snow there the newly friended Bears began to protect us and the Undead that had followed fell to the ground in bone piles along the path.
Looking at each other and nodding, it became an unspoken agreement. This was dark magic within this mountain and it must be guarded and kept within the stone of the mountain.
Within the next months my time seemed to be spent mostly on Dagar Island it seemed to consume me.....within the mountain range here was a dark undead presence. Darkness that seemed to want to control this magical wonderland and keeping the Undead within the mountain became a goal for me. There seemed to be a dark magic here and it needed to be kept within the mountain. I watched both facets of this island and maintaining a safe peaceful place for people to live was needed here. Establishing a fortress was a process and builders were brought from Britainia to construct a safe retreat and stronghold. The members of Dragon Bloodline were starting to expand to this island and it was becoming our headquarters. Dirnim seemed to thrive on killing the undead here and would most often be found closer to the danger, while I proceeded to oversee the construction of a Fortress here, in a safer location away from the majority of the creatures.
