A place with out time

(This book is one that was made by her and her mother, the covers of the book are made from pine wood. The paper was created from a paste that was spread thin and then dried to create sheets of paper. The ink is made from berries and written with a sharpened twig.)

Well my mother died today.... I don't really know what to put down. It's not like anyone was here other than the creatures that happened to be in the area. I... I just wish I had a family, or someone to talk to other than creatures and plants that could care less about how I feel. I just wish I knew my father.... still a part of me wants to curse him for not being here... for not showing his face in the fifteen years of my life. You know what, I don't wish he was here. I just wish I knew what to do with the rest of my life. Should I stay here and finish studying the book that are left? Should I leave here and find a life of my own? Well I don't think that mother would want me to leave, she all ways told me that nature was the one thing that accepted you no matter the way you looked or who you were. She all so told me that humans feared people with abilities like mine, she said that they would try to kill me or capture me for there gain. I don't know if that is true it. I have seen the people in the small town near our home, but I have never spoke to any of them. I wonder if they will fear by blue hair....

Well I will pray that the God of nature look kindly on my mothers soul, and my she not wonder the world with out a place to rest. (There are a few drops of tears on the page that made the last few sentences unreadable.)

It has been a few weeks and it is hard to find time to myself when I have so much to do, it was much easier when mother was around.... Well that is enough of that I can't feel sad for the rest of my life, and I have to remember that she is with nature now. She is apart of the earth and helping the plants grown around her. I have done my studies and learned a lot about healing and the powers that I have. I really enjoy my time as a leviathan, it is so freeing to swim in the ocean.... it is like a whole other world down there. The only power that I have not used is my beast call, I don't want to take advantage of any of the animals, and it is not like I have been in a fight. I guess that I should us beast call to find out what kind of a creature the Gods grant me. Well then it is settled I will use it tomorrow and report back what happens.

I am so happy that I decided to try my beast call. (Her hand righting seemed rather rushed as if she wanted to hurry and tell her story...) Well I was in the middle of the forest out side of my cave and as soon as I called for my beast a rather large snake came slithering out from under some leaves and under brush. The creature must have been 10 ft. long if it was an inch. I asked the creature if I was his human and if it were my creature. As I did it curled up my leg and around my waist and up to my shoulder where it sat. I had seen many snakes, but nothing like this he seemed to weigh about 60lbs. There was so much power and beauty in the creature, I could not be happier with the gift that the Gods gave me. After I brought my self back to reality I told him to go back to what he was doing, then I went to my temple and thanked the God of Nature for such a wonderful creature as my beast. (The rest of the page had her drawing of the green boa, and she drew the same picture of him on the front of her journal.)

I think that it is time that I live my life, there is nothing that I love more than the natural beauty of this world, but it is time that I explore what life has to offer. I am tired of reading about people and creatures that I will never meet..... I know that mother would disapprove. She would tell me that people destroy thing anything that scares them, and that they are scared of anything that is unknown to them. So taking my mothers words to heart I will not use my powers in front of anyone.... well I will try not to. I have learned plenty about healing from herbs, but I dont know if the humans will accept me as a healer. I think that studying them before I pick a place to live and a life is a good idea. Tomorrow I will find a job, some place that I can watch and learn.

I found the perfect job, I am going to work at a bead and breakfast. I am going to be able to watch people, event if it is only humans that I get to watch I still get to learn things. I hope that some of the things that I have learned are just hype and over exaggeration. Well only time can tell, I will be sure to let you know what happens.

Well I have been working for James, he is a delightful old man that owns the bed and breakfast. I can see how some creatures might think that humans are aggressive creatures, but I have learned they are not all bad. I guess that might be the same for all the other creatures as well. I just hope that no one finds out what I am, then I wont have to worry about self defense. A part of me is glad that my mother trained me in marshal arts, but another part of me hopes that I will never have to use it.

I am glad that I took this job, today there were two people that came in today... I am sure that they are more than human, and I hope that I get to learn more about them.... Maybe one day I will get to meet an element like myself. I hope that I will one day, and maybe one day they will teach me something new. Maybe I will learn more about my kind.

I am starting to get used to people here and life as a human, I like this town. It has its problems, but what place doesn't? Well I am rather glad that around my shrine to the God of Nature some of the plants that I planted started to grow. It makes me happy to see them when I come home from work. I cant wait until my plants blossom into a beautiful garden. I love my garden and making healing balms with my herbs. I wonder if some of the towns people would want to use my balms, I just don't want to stand out too much. The last thing that I want is for them to think I am an element or something other than just plain human.

Today I had two beings that checked in, I am sure that they are not human. One has green hair and a soft kind aura, and she seems as if she is a kind being. I hope that she and I may become friends, and maybe she has something to teach me. I think that she is a Fay but I have never meet one so I am unsure.

The other is a charming man with piercing blue eyes that contrast against his black hair. He is attractive, but seems to use his charm to gain favor, I don't trust him at all it seems that is charm is a way of getting what he wants. I am not sure about him but his aura seemed to show greed and selfishness. I don't think that he cares for anyone other than himself.

I invited them both to my home, I am not sure how things will go, but I hope to get some answers to my questions. Maybe they can help me learn more about my kind, that would be nice. I wonder if they would tell me about there kind as well.
