Entries At Home
October First. Friday.
Mother did it again. She truly knows how to kick someone in the face. We were in the council room, discussing what to be done about a criminal down in the dungeons, and she says in front of everyone there that I wouldn't have the guts to execute him if I needed to, that I was a spineless coward.
How could she do that to me, in front of everyone no less? At least Father gave her a disapproving look, and I heard them arguing yet again. Father is so much better than everyone else. He cares for me as a person, and yet he has no control over what his wife or anyone else thinks of me. My mother is a powerful person, even though she's a woman. She's gotten everyone to see me as she does, but no one says anything about me, at least not to my face. But I can tell they all disrespect me. I'm a noble, and this is how they treat me?
October Twelfth. Tuesday.
I was in the training field, Jarreth carrying my equipment, and someone tried to kill him. Someone tried to kill my servant. Thankfully, I was there so he's fine, but I can't believe someone would have the guts to do something like that. Next, it'll be me.
No one harms my servant. He's the only friend I have, the only person besides Father that cares. He respects me, as a noble, as a fellow human.
What's the deal with other races? Can't they go away?
October Twenty-Sixth. Tuesday.
Jarreth spoke with me tonight to try and change my mind about leaving. But my mind's made up, I won't have anyone deprive me of my honour any longer. I leave for mainland Hyrule as soon as dawn breaks and the ships are prepared to set sail.
At least he didn't pose much of a resistance, he knows how much it means to me to be able to see what's out there and broaden my horizons. He knows how much it means to me to be free of my noble duties. I don't even want to take over my household. I want to do everything everyone else can do.
Jarreth gave me his most treasured book. I insisted that he keep it, but he made me take it. His initials are written inside on the first page. It's called "Lost Call Of The Sirens." It's the only copy on the island, and Jarreth has had it since he was a child when his father brought it home from mainland Hyrule. I wish he hadn't made me take it. But it's the only memory I'll have of him now, I don't know if I ever want to come back here.
I'm leaving all my journals behind, so if you read this, Jarreth... I miss you. You'll always be loyal, and compassionate, and my servant. Thank you for everything.
Entries At Hyrule
May Nineth. Monday.
My first journal away from home. I decided to buy some parchment at last, too bad I didn't think to bring any money. How stupid can a noble get. So I do odd jobs wherever I go, and I got stuck looking for a ball fairy for a camper in Faron Woods. I got lost and wound up at some creepy abandoned temple. I met a girl named Mindfang there. It's obvious she's some sort of Hybrid. Disgusting. I've seen a lot in my travels, but Hybrids generally aren't that ugly. Whoa, she had horns too. The multiple pupils were probably the creepiest part about her though.
But she did have some damn nice hair... Thick and black, like the women in my hometown. So glossy. I almost wanted to touch it. That was the only pretty thing about her. If those horns hadn't of been sticking out of her head... nah.
On the plus side, I probably won't have to see her again.
May Tenth. Tuesday.
I heard a strange noise in the forest. A small voice said hello, almost as if asking me what I was doing there. Am I going nuts? I'll write more on this later.
Update:
Minish seem to be mischievous creatures. I met someone called Dahnee, apparently she's the Minish Chief? Maybe I'm getting wrong information here, because they might be lying. I'm not sure. There was another minish there I don't remember the name of, she was encouraging Dahnee to go back to the village. Maybe I should have followed them, I could've seen what a Minish village looked like.
May Twelfth. Thursday.
I went for Lake Hylia as I got out of Faron Woods, mainly because it was so hot and I needed to refresh myself. Who's bright idea was it to conjure up a heat wave? I'll kill those sorcerers at Hyrule Castle.
On an oddly positive note, I met a strangely beautiful Oocca at the lake. Her name was Claire, and the rest of her name I can't pronounce. She has this high-and-mighty attitude that I actually can't stand, my mother had the same mannerisms. But she did have a graceful quality Mother doesn't, it was strange.
But she tried to pry information out of me, and she seems like the type to go and report me, so I got angry, and eventually I just stopped caring about anything she had to say to me. I just wanted to get out of there. Can't people mind their own businesses?
May Twelfth, Thursday. Dusk.
I went for Westport after Lake Hylia, more to relax than anything. I read a bit more of the book that Jarreth gave me. It's truly interesting, I can see why he'd love it so. The book is just so... Jarreth. God. I miss my servant so much, and he's the only person I miss. Why does this have to be so bittersweet?
I saw a man and a woman going down the beach, so I closed the book and greeted them. The man is a Gerudo, and goes by the name of Merik. He has a band of pirates, and before I knew it I wound up joining his band. How do I get myself into this situations?
I'm excited to begin. I left for Slai's at Lake Hylia not long after it was established that I was joining his crew, and I hope I won't be stuck there too long. God only knows what kind of nonsense Slai spouts.
May Thirteenth. Friday.
I made camp in Hyrule Field that night, and then set off the next morning for Lake Hylia. And I encountered a man, a Lieutenant in the Hylian Knights no less, called Owen. Initally I thought he was just going to question me and move on, but this guy is stubborn and he's following me to Lake Hylia. How am I going to shake him off, meet Slai, and get back to my crew in time to set sail?
May Thirteenth. Friday. Afternoon.
He still wasn't shaken off, so I contacted Merik while he was out of earshot and told them to get the house across from Telma's Bar ready, since that's where I told Owen I lived when he was interrogating me. Hopefully someone will have the place ready for me, and have some clothes for me for the Masquerade. I intend to attend, since Merik is. And it's been a long time since I attended any party, let alone a fancy one.
May Twenty-Fifth. Wednesday.
I have no idea how I got away with this. But however I did it (I'll write about it later), I'm going to stick with it. And I fully intend to stick with this crew. They all seem pleasant, aside from the fact that they're so diverse in race (ugh). And T.R. She needs to get a better job, or maybe some personality. She creeps me out. That little Deku guy in charge of the cannons - I'm afraid he's going to blast me away with them.
I'll just have to get used to it, I guess.
I'm just glad I won't be chased by Hylian Knights as Rennal anymore, but as Iadar the Pirate. It's exciting, and yet I know if I get caught I'll die for being a pirate. I don't care. I'm free.
That's the most beautiful word to me right now. Freedom.[/font]
