Reunions

I went down to the hall today and found Jelia and a vampire there. I was kind of surprised to see Jelia but I tried to act nice despite hour history. She was just as hateful and bitter as ever, even against the vampire who seemed like one of the few credits to his kind.

I told him that I believed he was different in order to make up for Jelia's abuse, but soon both of them disappeared. Rosa appeared shortly after and we were glad to see eachother. She's involved withg Drizzt DoUrden and a dragon king in an attempt to overthrow the evil dragons that are ruling the draconic homeland. And she won't let me join in.

After she told me all that I went out to the gardens to meet a new friend, Regann. She can sew so I showed her the garments I had worn until just before my capture. The first thing she said was that I should be dead. I get that a lot.

She talked to me and I found out she spoke Avian, so I summoned Osfaaron to chat with her. Instead he mostly just scolded me for getting into so much trouble. Damned owl!

Regann soon went off to work on my garments and I promised to meet her for cookies at the local inn and tavern tomorrow. After that I started isnide because I thought I'd seen Autumn.

By the time I got in Autumn was laying on the couch while everyone tried to keep her awake. I was more enraged than I'd been since I heard Alais crying out in the dungeons. I was sure it had been Jelia that had poisoned her.

Turasca, some stodgy old nobleman, was hanging around and for once made himself useful. He knew the poison and gave me a bit of advice, but it was way beyond my abilities. Luckily Rowena was able to go get a healer from Kielder after I opened a portal for her.

After that things went downhill. Turasca insulted the people of Kielder, which I am one of by birth. Then he said Juliette ran off and defended Sari, and accused me of treachery. I told him he could put the treachery on my tab because I didnt care. It was kinda good to get him in a huff. Of course he really pissed me off when he said the queen only tolerated me as her court jester. He acted as though I havnt the right to speak my mind, when I've bled for Dragonshire more red blood than all the blue blood he has in his body. Damned nobles!

It was around then that Gwendolyn, a healer, arrived. The healer was incredible. She took charge really quickly and told me what to do. Seeing how calm she was reminded me of how far I have to come iwth my own healing skills and my ability to keep from getting scared.

Scarlet asked her to try hard to save Autumn's life because she was a princess, but I told her that true healers work as hard as they can for everyone, regardless of status. I think the girl who healed Autumn, Gwen, was such a person.

She took Autumn's condition into herself and had me put her to sleep for four days. I carried her to the chambers usually reserved for visiting royalty and laid her in bed to rest. By the time I got back down AUtumn was up and about again.

She was glad to see me and not too mad, and I found out that the queen has awoken and that everyone was ok in my absence. Sabe seems to have taken care of everything pretty well. All in all it's just good to be back.
