The Ninth Sun of Brotemburgh

Biki you did it! I tried the lyricast you said last night and it worked! I saw my beloved husebind! I can't really tell where he is though, but I showed the Alaardin chiefs and priests and they think they can find him for me! Oh Biki you are wonderful!
~ ~ <(}>*
How did you do that?
~ ~ %?
Who are you Biki?
~ ~%?
Don't you remember anything before you were my parchments?
*%~
Why aren't you talking today?
~ ~ ~ ~ * % wweeeeeaaakkkk~*
Oh, I'm sorry for making you talk so much Biki. Don't worry, I can take it from here.
I've started working on my new Alchemy in Chimera Research class. It is a lot of fun, my teacher is a little bit... well odd... she is always staring at you Biki, have you noticed? ~ ~ *
Yeah well Professor Verata might be weird, but she is a really good teacher. The first day she assigned us to partners, she put me with this oaf named Odikorh. He is super annoying, all he talks about is this one guy that he used to run around with back when he was an off worlder named Campion. Seriously, he won't shut up about the guy, I think he has some sort of infatuation with him. Always talking about how he can kill men with just his voice, and about this one time they went through an entire cavern of thieves and bandits and Campion killed them all whilst unarmed.... Completely unarmed... ~ ~<3* Yes I agree Biki, that does sound quite delightful to watch, but I just wish he would SHUT UP sometimes!
I would ask the teacher to reassign us, but when it comes to the lessons, he is pretty good actually. He said he used to be a cook for some army offworld, I guess that explains his ability to mix and match and cook up potions and toxins pretty easy. ~ ~ *
She told us last week to think about the element we wanted to bring life to and today we had to start gathering. Odikorh and I chose earth since that would be pretty easy to gather. I got a few rocks, some mud and little bit of moss, and Odikorh collected a lot of sap, that he ate most of, and some flowers.
Tomorrow we are going to start preparations to create our companions. I'm so excited Biki, I'm going to go to bed now and get a good nights rest, I can't wait to start class tomorrow!

Good Night!

The Tenth Sun of Brotemburgh

They sent another search party out for Stathama yesterday evening. I hope everything is alright, I find my self saying your enchantment anytime I pass a looking pond, just to catch a glimpse and make sure he is still alive. Is that pathetic Biki?
~ Nooo*
He has only been gone four days, but it feels like eternity, and I haven't seen the creepy guy in a few days either. *%! Oh Biki, why does everyone have to leave me?

Odikorh and I started our elemental chimera creations today. Professor Verata says those that pass this, will get to go on to the beast chimera research classes next term. Everyone else will have to take four more elemental and alchemy classes. I have to make this work, so I swapped my mud with Odikorh's sap, I convinced him that my moss elements would connect more to the sap, being that they are both from trees, and his flowers would adapt more to the dirt. He is so gullible, I just need the polymerization to connect the elements.
~ * thhaaaaats meann!~
It's not my fault he is gullible! Anyway, I'm done talking about school.
I went to the stables today to try and see what was going on with Stathama's metal hoof. Oh, Biki did you see it? *%~
It was amazing, it has started growing a heart!
~ *WWHHAATT?!%~
I know! You can see it glowing through the glistening armor, and hear it's beat against the metal. And its eyes, they are made of emeralds from the Lycian Mountains, but inside of them... I could swear I saw an iris developing. She is by far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen Biki! I can't wait till the Cogger is finished with her.
~ ~*doooes it hurrrt?  ~
Does what hurt?
~ *% theeee coggerss~ *%~ repaaiirsss?~*
I don't know, he was yelling at me about something when I got in there, but I wasn't listening. He is always yelling something or another at me. Although now that I think about it, there was something in the hoof's eyes....
~ * whaaat?%~
I'm not sure, they weren't even fully developed eyes, but there was something in them. Something sad.
Biki! I just realized! The creepy guy! ~ *! What if he took Stathama! Oh no! His obsession with me has driven him mad! He wanted to eliminate the competition! Oh my dear sweet husebind, falling victim to my fame!!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ noooo~
What do you mean no Biki, of course that is what it is. Oh Stathama, so young and so sweet, well so sweet. Why did this had to happen to you my love?!
~ ~ * theee loooooking ponds%*
Oh right, the creepy guy was never in them... Well where else could he have gone? Maybe he did take them, but Stathama fought free and now is lost trying to make his way back to me, back home!
Oh Stathama, my dear sweet Stathama, fighting your hardest against the elements to make your way back to your love. My dear dear Stathama, you are in my chants!

The Eleventh Sun of Brotemburgh

A man came to visit me today.
~%?*
Told me my mother had died.
~ * I'mm sorrryyyy *%~
Nah, it's ok. I don't really remember much about her. My lyricasting emerged when I was four years old, so I was immediatly drafted into the Muse's Boarding school for gifted nobles. I don't even remember who my parent's were, or what they did for a living.
~ * wwhhyyy? ~%*
Well I guess my parent's put up a fuss and didn't want them to take me. So they were excommunicated from the sanctum. I can't understand why they wouldn't want me to go, it's a wonderful opportunity, and if we weren't already nobility, well then SHAZAM! Instant nobility, most consider it an honor, can't see why they would care.
~~% sheeee loved youuu ?%*
But this messenger guy handed me a letter and told me to keep it confidential. I guess she left something for me in her final bequeathments for me. I wonder what is was...
~ ~ ~?*
I wonder who she was? I bet she was someone important before she was excommunicated. I bet it is some sort of enchanted Muir Crystal, or a Muir Crystal necklace! I wonder what she did after they took me?
I bet she fought for years to get me back.
~ ~
I'm not getting my hopes up Biki, but thanks for your concern. I should meet with this man tonight in secret.
~ ~* sssafffe?%~
Of course it has to be safe, does he really think he can match my nimble fingers and song!
~ ~*%!
I can't ask anyone to come with me, my mother was excommunicated Biki! I'm already in enough trouble with Stathama when he gets back for the metal hoof incident. I don't want to add "fraternizing with the banished dead" to my list of charges.
~ ~* Oooodikoooorrh?%~
He might be dumb, but is isn't that dumb. I would need someone that doesn't care of our rules, or doesnt understand them.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~* Goooooordon %*~
Who is Gordon?
~ ~ Coggerrrr%~
How do you know his name? He wouldn't help me anyway, he hates me.
~ ~ * a goooooood maannn ~
No he isn't, he yells at me on a regular basis. It doesn't even matter if I am there, I can hear him from the towers shouting my name with other explicit malicious profanities.
~ ~ * a goooooood maannn ~
Oh alright Biki, I will try, but he is going to say no. And honestly I think I would be better off with out him, what is he going to do to protect me against magic. Hit them with a stick?
Oh goodnight Biki, I have to go find that Cogger.
~ % >*




The Twelfth Sun of Brotemburgh

So I visited that man last night Biki.
~~alonnnee?%*
No, the Cogger came with me. I thought he wasn't going to, we argued for what seemed like days, and then I just left because I could take no more of his stench. I know he works with the more foul smelling elements, but that doesn't excuse HIM from smelling so foul. Especially in the royal court! But anyway, I thought he wasn't going to come and I would have to go alone. But sure enough, right as I showed up to the rendezvous there he was. Had it been anyone else I would have thought it heroic or romantic. But on him, he just obviously didn't have anything better to do.
~ ~*
The man had a chest to give me with a blood incantation on it. Said only my blood would break the seal. Do you know what that means Biki? My mother was a Haemocaster! ~ ~* witchhh%* She must have been a great mage! ~  ~*Kromanni%~ Oh, Biki, no wonder I am so naturally talented my mother is a Arch Mage!
~ ~ ~ *
~ iinnsideeee?%*
Oh, I haven't looked yet! Hold on a second, this is going to be good!

Biki this is weird, if my mother was such a great person... and rich... and an Arch Mage... why is all of this stuff....
~ ~ whhhaattt?
Hrmmm... well there is a belt, kind of old and dingy. Not sure if I'm too fond of the style, sort of neo Kromanni Witch and the hat is kind of the same. There is a journal in here too, but I can't read it. It's written in some language I don't think I have ever seen before.... It's weird, and in some red ink...
~ ~*blooooood~
I wonder why my mother would leave me these things out of all her possessions? Of everything she must have owned... she leaves me with these... odd don't you think?
~ ~*wearrr themmm?%~
I guess I could try them on, maybe later. Now I have to go to class, Today is the final test for our Chimera's, today we create life.
There is still no word from the search party for Stathama, I fear they will never find him. I keep watching him in the looking ponds. Always alone and sad ... And tomorrow is the thirteenth of Brotemberghevus! How can I go to the ball with out him!
