[The first couple entries seems to be ruined by water, smearing the words. If you look closely there seems to be something written down about a man by the name of Randy, though what is written is unclear. Towards the middle of the Journal, is when the words actually become legible]
DAY 27
Yondalla,
today I met a halfling named Rien. He was a man of an austere lifestyle. I would later learn that he was a native from the local deserts. It's so nice to meet kin here. for my first several days I felt quite lonely, this was foolish however, because I had you the whole time. Rien seems quite interested you,
although I'm not entirely positive what his intentions are. I will bring him to see your light, just as my brothers and sisters in the faith have done before me.
I got him to pray with me this eve, in the beginning he seemed to take it more as a joke, but towards the end, he started to act more mature. I can only credit you for this Yondalla, you have a way of moving people, I should know.
DAY 28
Yondalla,
I saw Rien again this eve, his body was bruised and bandaged. This is not an uncommon trend for Rien. I try to remind him to be more cautious, but his adventurous nature I suppose just rejects that. He came into the temple, I dressed his wounds. It didn't occur to me that I haven't had seen his face yet, it was concealed with a black hood. While I like to see Yondalla's loving smile shine in all of us, I was not going to pry. Later into the evening, he took of his hood and I saw his dusky features. He expressed to me how he never liked what he saw in his reflection. I assured him that Yondalla created us all different , and that we are all important. Not that I could ever express this verbally, but I found his dusky features quite handsome. I've decided to keep this friendship strictly casual however, I feel that if I were to have a romantic interest with him, it would distract from his conversion, and I want anything -but- that.
DAY 32
Yondalla,
today I met two halfling women, one by the name of Mera, and one by the name of Ruby.
Mera, is a sister of the faith. She has reddish/ brown hair and a naive set of eyes. She wears heavy armor and a kind smile.
Ruby is a rather interesting woman, who denies you completely. She wears clothing consisting of furs, and she carries a an axe on her back. Her hair is usually free and her eyes are crazed. She makes a point to say that I wouldn't stand out in the desert, she does this quite ofen.
I feel in time however, ruby will come to her senses and join the faith as I once had to do.
DAY 43
Dear Yondalla,
I met another hin today, I swear! Through your grace you can make a race mutiply in a single day. This one goes by the name of Felix, I've invited him to our safeday, I hope that he'll attend.
Mr. Wellingsworth is quite the interesting specimen.He speaks clearly, and has the tendency to call me love. He has dark hair, but yet kind eyes. He refuses to wear shoes.
He comes from a land known as the shire, I cannot say I've heard of such a place, but it does not surprise me that your loving light shines to all corners of life.
Felix has agreed to come to your safeday, but I can tell there's some doubt in his eyes.
DAY 45
Yondalla,
The Safeday is this eve, and I couldn't be happier. Rien and I have been diligent in out preparations and I shall pray that kin come to share your light. I write to you from the mist camp, which was a hard destination to come to. There were many beasts along the way, and I was lucky I had sir Felix there to escort me. Once we got to the actual camp however, it was quite peaceful. We are currently setting up candles all around the camp now. Some of the humans are teasing, saying that the halflings are setting up a complex plan to roast them over a pit- I hope this is teasing however, otherwise that would bring be great burden to know that some think so lowly of the halfling race.
The safe day was a great success, myself, Mera, Felix, Rien, and this woman who didn't say much else but " YONDALLA BLESS" attended, and we had a grand time. Everyone that was there said that they were anxious for the next Safeday, and that was nothing but music to my ears. Rien is so committed to you now, it's amazing how much growth he's made, he calls me sister and is always giving me suggestions for the next Safeday. It's always amazing to me how you can get inside a persons heart and make it whole again. Sir Felix wishes to speak to me at this moment- I shall return later to conclude this entry.
