::Opening the Journal the first page is Ellacia Dawnrose's name
written in 10 Different langauges, also on the page at the
bottom is a date. The second page is written in the same
handwriting as the first, int he language of Senzar::
Dearest Ellacia
My Granddaughter you will read this one day and I hope it will
help you to explain why you are the way you are. As I write
this you are but a few days old and we have been running for our
lives. Now deep in my old home, the Forest of Spirits, I hope
to raise you as your parents would have wanted it. But I get
ahead of myself. Ellacia you are the daughter of my daughter,
Asernti, the beloved Oracle, she gave you life and it seems at
the price of her own. You are also the daughter of Roan
Dawnrose, a druid of great esteem in the kingdom, he also is
gone from your life, protecting you and your mother during the
raid upon our small village. Three nights ago the Full harvest
moon shone upon the village, the celebration was unbelievable.
Of course your mother could never be outdone so she decided to
give birth to you during the celebration. Now your mother was
special from a young age, we had seen the look she gives when
she goes into her prophetic vision, no one expected it while
giving birth, but she began her vision recite while your
grandmother assisted in finalizing your birth. During this time
the village was attacked, it seemed the local lord wanted to use
the festival and birth as a distraction and rid himself of your
parents. The Family fought of the onslaught, and we lost nearly
all of our family. Your father lead the defense while animals
from the forest and family defended the oracles small hut. A
hunter seeing your father leave the hut, entered and killed your
grandmother and mother. I entered as I saw this beast of a man
preparing to end your life. My companion Trel, I do hope he is
still around when you are old enough to meet him, charged the
man mauling him as only a bear would do. I understood my friend
well and picked you up and ran knowing I would be pursued. Trel
did catch up to us about an hour later, his left eye seriously
injured, while I wanted to treat it he continued to push me and
you as fast as we could away from the village. Here we now are
safe in the forest our ancestors. Trel did unimaginable feats
getting us here and fighting off pursuers, guarding us during
rests and being the true friend he has been for so long.
Finally able to treat the wound, I fear I will never be able to
get Trel the use of his eye again. I wanted you to know this
without reservation without regret we are and shall always be
your protectors. For eternity in Love, Your Grandfather Jaalan
Bearclaw.

::The handwriting continues for several pages with entrys that
are dated::
(Few Weeks after we arrived in Forest of Spirits)
While out on patrol, Trel brings back a wounded woman back to
the cottage, the woman happened to be family. She is your
fathers sister, Kimia, seriously wounded I treated her wounds
for nearly four weeks before she was awake enough to tell me
everything that happened. I will have her write her story when
she regains strength.
::A very femine script follows::
Angel eyes...
What a sweet babe you are, why Jaalen wants me to write down my
memories of the last month I will never understand, I would like
to put it as far behind me as possible. Yet here I am since I
was the last person to see your father, and the last kin you
have on his side, you should know.
Your father and I returned to the hut when we heard the
commotion made by the bear and intruder. When we finally got to
the hut, Trel was bolting out the back door into the forest,
there was blood everywhere, I will save you the image without
details, your mother and her mother lay there murdered while the
intruder had your birthblanket with a knife through it. Your
father went into a rage I had never seen him in, he returned to
battle slaughtering any foe, I struggled to stay with him. When
the last foe was slain, the remaining family gathered the dead
and burned the bodies, fourteen in all was who survived the
attack and two of those would not make it through the night.
Your father spoke very little from that point on, I did however
remember him telling me about the Vision your mother was having
during your birth. His memory of the time was scattered but
phrases he remembered as as follows.
“Lost soul found...Ancestor Death...Span the Ocean...Aquire
insight...Lineage revived...Balance restored...325
moons...Creation of an oracle...Death of an oppressor...Order
forfeit for Serenity regained....”
He always believed that you were still alive somewhere with your
grandfather. He held onto that belief as we made plans to raid
the local lords manor and kill him. I had never seen your
father so bloodlusted before, I can imagine with everything that
had happened where it came from. The plan was simple dress up
as the returning force and get an audience with the lord and
kill him. Simple plan yes, was more difficult to do. We did
get in the manor, and had nearly made it to the great hall when
a survivor returned to the front gates telling of the defeat at
the hands of Roan. We were attacked, I was wounded along with
another, your father told me to go as I would never be able to
fight on. The last I saw of your father was storming into the
lords main Hall. With my remaining strength and that of my
companion we escaped into the nearby woods. His wounds were
more serious then mine and the hard travel to avoid detection of
the patrols he died before the first night. Another day passed
before I heard word of the failed attack on the lord. The
notice went out that all were killed. I had only one hope that
you were still alive and that Jaalen would have taken you
somewhere safe, that was when I remembered that Jaalen was a
Kimi talker. So I made my way to the Forest of Spirits, where
Trel found me and I now live with you and Jaalen. Kimia
::several days later, Jaalen's handwriting returns::
Kimia Sister of your father died from complications to the
battle wounds that he was unable to cure.

::Several pages of information about oracles, and how to
decipher visions follows, it seemed like Jaalen was trying to
understand the dying vision of his daughter. Dates seem to
change to months of moons, something he changed as to count the
moons from the vision::
127 Moons – I fear the isolation and solitude of the deep
forest cottage was a refuge for me but seems to be a very
confining situation for a very curious Ellacia. While visitors
have been rare some of my Kimi and Fey friends have visited to
trade and past around news. Mostly the small animals that would
venture near enough to the house and the one eyed Trel that age
has begun to make feeble seem to be your only friends. I will
have to find a solution to this before you hate me for this
isolation.
::hand writing has changed it seems to be very inexperienced::
128 Moons – Grandfather was hurt this last evening in a wild
wolf pack attack. Trel is dead I was unable to get him to stop
fighting after I got grandfather to safety. Grandfather isnt
taking his death well and the muscles of his leg have been torn
from his bone. I know he would disapprove but I am going to try
and find his friend Scrallie, the Kimi that visited us last
month. I listened to them while they talked about him not being
far away if we wanted to visit him and his family sometime.
Grandfather thinks I am going hunting for the day, I know when
he reads this he will be upset but, he needs more medicine and
care then he or I know.
:handwriting changes back to Jaalen::
Ellacia has been gone for three days. I am unable to even get
out of the bed still. I pray each day to Daikitsu that she is
safe.
::handwriting changes back to Ellacia::
Grandfather tells me to sit down and write down everything that
happened to me on my first adventure he calls it. Scrallie and
his mate returned with me and are tending to grandfather so now
is as good a time as any.
The first day was hard leaving grandfather knowing he couldnt do
anything for himself, but I made my way to the creek grand
father had mention the kimi also used. So if they need the
water then I should run across one of them or there village.
The problem with following water is everyone in the forest needs
it including predators. Mostly uneventful I camped away from
the creek in a tree. The next day I came across a wounded deer,
it was not going to survive the injury so I killed the poor
suffering beast and packed up the meat the best I could in my
pack. Day three I knew I was lost, I had never been this far
into the woods and I couldnt see the sun to find my way, I
continued along the creek for another full day. Midafternoon of
the fourthday I came across a three legged fox, he didnt run
when he saw me , but didnt let me get close. He seemed to want
me to follow him and I did till I ran into Scrallie washing out
some dishes in the creek. Scrallie informed me I had walked in
a huge circle and after I told him what happened he got his mate
and we ran through the night back to grandfathers cottage.
Scrallie carried me more then I want to admit but I would not
have been able to keep up if he hadnt.

::Handwriting changes back and forth betweek Jaalen and Ellacia
over the next several pages of entries, most are updates on
Jaalens leg or short stories about Ellacia's hunting trips.::
183 moons
Hunting trip was successful, snared some small game, and was
able to get a deer. My three legged friend showed himself
again, I have been calling him Tray for lack of a better name
for years but he still wont let me touch him. This time however
he was in the house when I got home, it almost seemed like he
was talking with Grandfather. I made some noise and when I
actually got in the house he was gone. I finally told
grandfather that I think I can understand animals, I could
almost hear them talking. He was surprised and called it a gift
and to help cultivate it he told me to stop hunting animals
completely. He said we can survive on other gatherable foods.
Gathering trips seem almost more difficult then hunting but the
animals of the forest are approuching me. In fact yesterday
while I was gathering Tray came close and while I talked he just
listened to me intently, he never spoke and then he left.
::several months of entries seem to go back and forth from
Jaalen and Ellacia. Mostly mudane information so about Tray,
mostly about Ellacia's animal gift::
234 moons
Tray came to the house in a mood, he waok up the whole house
when he kocked over some pans in the kitchen then bolted out the
door. Grandfather told me to follow him and I hurried out the
door after him. Two or so miles of travelling Tray lead me to a
small bushy area and I heard the cries of a small kit. I found
the little kit under its mother whom was dead along with several
of her babies. I took the small fox back to the cottage.
Grandfather was excited and helped me to raise the youngun, we
named him Todd.

::tear drops have stained the page as you look at Ellacia's
writing::
240 Moons
My grandfather died today, the cottage was attacked by a Human,
I only had a glimpse of him before Grandfather met him in the
yard. I watched as this Man slay my crippled grandfather and
ordered the rest of his men to search the house. As I prepared
to do battle, Tray appeared in the back door, and for the first
time in my life, words came from him. "Run, you must Run now."
Shocked by the powerful voice I grabbed Todd tossed him in my
sack and grabbed my my pack on the way after Tray. For a three
legged fox he was very agile and lead me through the forest,
deeper then I had ever been. Nearly four hours after our escape
he finally stopped and motioned me to a tree. I climbed as he
bolted off back the way we came. I sit here high in a tree
writing this waiting to see if Tray will return or if the hunter
will come tracking me.
Night has fallen upon the forest and Tray finally returns with
Scrallie. They had gone to the cottage first and saw the
destruction of her childhood home. Scrallie took me home with
him, he believed us still in danger and wanted to surround us
with warriors from his village.
Three days passed before the Hunter arrived in the village.
Asking questions about the cottage to the north and the people
who lived there. Scrallie told the Hunter of the Old man that
lived there and his animals, never mentioning me. I stayed
hidden while he and his group of men left the village. Scrallie
found me later and told me he believes the man knew he was
lying, and it wouldn't be safe here for me. He handed me a
backpack, while he put one on himself. He decided to take me as
far as he could, and protect me as he thought I was his
responsibility with my grandfathers death.
He led me towards the city of Kasai, he would help me book
passage on a boat and put me as far from here as he could. Tray
seemed to follow very close to me lately. I expected him to run
off and never return after grandfathers death but he follows in
the shadows never speaking.
Scrallie left me in Kasai, he paid for a room till the next boat
got here and even arranged for my passage on the boat. I spent
the next few days in my room, Tray curled up at the door, I can
tell he doesnt want to be in the city, but he wont leave. Todd
has been good trying to play with him, he is getting bigger and
has learned a few tricks that make me laugh even with whats
happened.
241 Moons
The Boat was a unique trip, Tray and Todd perfered the cabin to
topside and didnt mind the fish meals that were served, I would
enjoy so time above deck but the sailors would all look at me
and not make me feel comfortable so I would make the trips quick
and when the fewest people were on deck.
We arrived at Almas and I got a room on the outside of town so
that foxes could run to the forest. Tray did regular leave and
return days later, Todd would never leave me untill we both went
to the forest and I explained it was ok while I was busy for him
to go hunt and play.
The lady I rented the room from was a nice woman in her 30's,
her name was Eloise, but everyone called her El. Men visited
her house regular but never stayed very long.
243 Moons
El has been good to me and I have done odd jobs around the
house. She learned I was not human one evening when I was
playing with Todd and I shifted to my natural kitsune form. She
and I talked alot about what I could do and she would challenge
me to take other forms of people she would bring to the house, I
had never thought of using my shifting for anything other then
hiding. She had me shift into her form alot and I would go out
into town and meet people who knew me and return that night and
we would talk about my day in the city.
It went this way until the farmer she said visited her before I
came returned and offered her marriage. She decided to give me
her house and she said I could use her form in the city, but she
also warned me of her previous cilents and since I was not
wanting to do her line of business, she started turning down
clients before she left saying she was done with that and got
her, well me in her form, a job at a Tavern in town called
Beggar's Dowry. El left shortly after I started the Tavern job,
no one ever knew she left, since now I am El. I have found that
my own human form was to easy to distiguish that I had came from
over the sea.

::Ellacia's handwriting and journal entries over the next year
seem to be mostly infomation about people in the city and
surronding area, contacts, stories and rumors, births and
deaths::
254 Moons
Journal Entry - Zarzu Kehlter
Today wasnt much different then the last few except I met
someone new today in the tavern. Short even for a gnome I would
think but he ordered his meal and spirits and seemed to be
eyeing me. I wouldnt have given him a second thought expect for
he grabbed my tush. Now normally I would have let him have it
but when I turned to he just started talking, and I love
stories. His past was very dark, noble, alchemist, and exile.
After several drinks and stories, I think he was lonely.
261 Moons
Zarzu Continuation - This little gnome is really a great story
teller, he has seen alot in his travels. I find myself
wondering does he come for the drink, the food, or the listening
ear of this kitsune, or perhaps it is the other maids in this
place that seem to enjoy his company in private more then in
public. He told me a story today of Daggermark guild he did
have a few more then normal but his story rings of truth. I
have heard of them before but who and when has escaped me,
Perhaps I have something written in these pages and I just need
to reread the journal till i find it. I got him home again,
perhaps he is comfortable around me enough that he knows i will
get him home. Maybe I should share a secret with him.
273 Moons
Zarzu Continuation - I think today I will share my form with
Zarzu, he has been understanding and hasnt pushed me to tell
stories, while he knows so of my past it is halftold, with holes
in the stories, either he is unable to see the holes due to
drink, doesnt care i am leaving things out, or is just being a
good freind and letting me tell my story in my own time I dont
know.
Well I wasnt able to share my secret, he is being sent on a
mission, and silly me asked to go along. I dont have alot of
time so I must pack quickly, Maybe sometime on the road will
help me to open up.
::packing various gear while Todd looks on, she pulls on the Bow
string making sure it is ready, pulling her cloak over her gear
she calls to Todd who jumps up into her arms. Locking the door
on the way to meet Zarzu, she looks around to see if Tray is
anywhere, he had been gone for another extended time, he was a
smart fox, he would find her or wait till she returned::
