Sitting on the grass, she looked upon the first blank page of an old leatherbound book. She would sometimes smile to the people passing, sharing with them the happiness in her heart. "You will make use of this far better than I would", the tall elf said to her (although all elves seemed tall compared to her, some half-lings too) as he gave her this book after ripping off the pages he wrote maybe a very long time ago. "But what to write in it?" she thought, holding the book at her chest, throwing yet another smile to a passing man. She sighed as she starts writing, pausing after every word.
Father Koykoy used to say that "Even a small person can change the world". I always followed his advice, even if we grew up together. He got old and wise, I remained a girl. I always felt sad for humans, seeing their lives consume in the blink of an eye, yet their determination in raising me, an elf, is laudable. So, yes, he used to say that. Now I find myself lost in this strange world, with only his advices guiding me, although his idea to use swords against undead sucks. The bigger the hammer, the faster they fall. Tested and retested, as I try helping a local faith here with the bony problem in their crypts. Quite a bad problem, I may add. But as father Koykoy said: "The bigger the problem, the better the satisfaction in resolving it. Like women.". Never knew what his problem with women was, but for some reason he was always right... except the moments when they slapped him.
There are four kinds of people here.
Good people. The helpful ones, the ones that return a smile.
Neutral people. The ones that don't return the smile, and basically not notice you.
Bad people. The ones that wear black. I no trust them.
Weird people. They think we elves eat children. Hard to convince them otherwise.
And maybe I can add the fifth type... Scary people. Big man at inn door is scary. The local guards are scary... yes they are.
I made few friends too. Elves or humans. Me forgot their names, but I remember always when I see them. Met a follower of Tormy too, but woman in black is turning him into an idiot. Any woman that wears black leather and shows her charms should go work at the Wives Inn, where father Koykoy used to go saying he donates for charity. She should go there and leave sir Aarun alone. But I can't force him to leave her, because as father Koykoy said: "We are not allowed to judge. But that doesn't mean we aren't allowed to kick someone in the butt for doing something wrong".
Maybe I write more soon... [smiley face]
She looks down satisfied at the filled page and offers yet another smile to a bypasser, closing the book shut.
