The great escape

Well today I had a short argument with Velrik about some mechanical stuff he found. I dont want to seem like I always argue with him and I've tried to be nice to him but I did have to say I didnt like the idea of digging up old technology. Imoen came and she just didnt say anything and I thought she was right to trust in Velrik's judgement so I joined her and quieted down.

Anyhow after that I talked to Siona and she was kinda busy so once again I decided to scamper off and go visit Mes. She came to the castle and carried me back to her den and gave me something to eat. She was sad about me turning back one day and I said I didnt even know if it'll happen or not.

She only trusts me and cares about me because I'm a child now. I think she'd still care about me if I got older but it'd be in a different way. I told her when I got big again I'd still listen to her and come and stay with her and I'd even cast wards to make sure I wouldnt be able to cause her any trouble. I just really like having her affection and I don't want to lose that and make her sad just so I can become powerful and strong again.

I guess maybe power only serves to make people lonely. I hope not though cuz I like my powers. But Mes is teaching me new things like how to pounce better. We went out to practice on Marquie and when I pounced the nanny from the castle whos arm I had bitten came and snatched me up. Mes was ready to kill her and I had to think fast. I hate being protected and getting people in trouble so I just got the nanny to carry me back top the castle and asked Mes and Marquie to recue me later.

Instead Marquie got snatched by one of the nannies and she made her help out in the nursery. I got my butt smacked yet again and its starting to hurt from it all. One of the nannies gave me something really tasty to drnk but I forgot to ask what it was. Finally Marquie had enough and I joined her in trying to escape.

Marquie and me fought with the mean nanny for a while and then she just gave up and all the kids who hated her decided they were free and escaped. It was neat actually cuz she had it coming and everyone had fun I think. Well Mera showed up and so did Siona and they got us all back under control. I sat down in the nursery for a while and all of a sudden I finally saw the person I'd been hearing about my whole life.

All the other kids were really scared and I heard one of them say it was the bogie man. He wasn t that scary. He was looking around and all the other kids were hiding in their beds and somehow I just knew it was actually him. All my life I'd heard that he was coming for me any minute and to think, me with out my sword!

Well instead I poked him with a stick and he actually turned out to be pretty nice. He even gave me a lollypop. I'm guessing I've been too well behaved lately but maybe he just knew he'd met his match. Anyhow Mera and Marquie put me down for a nap and I grudgingly went to sleep.

I woke up a while later and decided to go see Mes at her cave to see if she hated me. She was mad but she forgave me and I had to promise I wont leave the castle without permission and someone to escort me, preferably her. Then all of a sudden Imoen showed up and Mes didnt know her so she growled at her and Imoen just whipped out her bow and was about to shoot Mes for nothing.

I tried to get in the way but Mes held me back and I almost cried but then Imoen got all mad and just left. I asked Mes to take me after her and she agreed and I tried to explain why Imoen might have done that as Mes carried me through the forests to her. I'm starting to get accustomed to being carried everywhere.

Well anyhow we ran into Imoen and Mes left me in her care but Imoen was really grumpy for some odd reason and even her familiar was being mean to me. she said she wasnt grumpy and I just started back for home and went to bed.
