Dear Journal, 6th of Nariza, 795 AC
We arrived at the sacred clearing and it was just as glorious as I thought it would be. The light at the end of that dreary tunnel was the best thing I’ve seen in a few weeks! The sights were amazing, with all the MyrRin walking around and selling their wares. The smells of the different kinds of food were even better. I couldn’t wait to go out and explore. The surrounding forest made me feel safe and I was able to let lose for the first time in a long time. There should be no one here that could do me harm for being what I am.
The day has been full of activity. We spent the morning shopping and exploring. When evening fell the fighting matches began for the festival. We joined the fights. I didn’t really want to but everyone seemed so excited, I couldn’t help but be caught up in that feeling. I wish I had paid more attention to the team groupings though. I really cannot believe what came over me. I should have stuck to spectating as is expected of an outsider like me.
The battles were difficult. Our other team was amazing. They took on the Tuskari team and won! I am not built for hand to hand combat. I do best from far away but it is good to know I can protect myself when in a tight situation. We also won, but our battle was more of a fight. Without a really beefy person to protect us, we had a tougher fight on our hands. Still, it was fun and I haven’t had fun in a very long time. I look forward to the time I am to share with these wonderful people I’ve met.
