One Regret

Weeeeeellll it has certainly been awhile!!! I haven't been able to record anything up until now, but here we go I see. Haha.
 
I went on my first boat trip ever, and it was definitely an experience. I got lucky I never quite got the sea sickness the others did, but there were quite a few beauties walking around to probably help with my unsettled mind!
 
Seriously though, it was a a nice trip, and I enjoyed meeting the others who helped when a great storm blew in!! I thought for sure I'd be on shish kabob! Actually, it's cruel of me to say, but I wish some passengers had ended up like that. It just goes to prove that not everyone is who they say they are. I wish back then... I had decided to go through that woman's purse.
 
She wore a black hood, obscured. I felt threatened... as if I'd be no match for her. However. My cowardice then paid the price for it later. I should have gone for it. I can't help but wonder what would have happened differently.
 
Ah, anyways! I seem to have gotten aquainted with a few members, and we all arrived in Cynhall for the grand festival! It was all for the Prince, Prince Quinn. And oh boy!! He's eye candy~! But... not exactly good with a sword.
 
During the festival, we all did various things to get a feel for it, and I myself tried for some food, because why would I want to pay? It's a festival! The food should totally be free! I got caught... heh. I didn't think the lady would be so observant over the food with so many customers...
 
We all started out in the merchants area to find cool things, unfortunately, I found nothing of interest, nor did I have the gold for anything. I should totally steal some more cash if I get the chance. Eventually, we all parted ways, with myself to the chess tournament.
 
I don't know what I was thinking. I'm arguably not the smartest guy ever, but I held up pretty well. ♡ I like to think that I'm not as hopeless as some give me credit for. Maybe one day I'll learn a few things or two.
 
As the crowd cheers and I take my rest, I hear that Swordguard and Xarvarax have placed in their own tournaments. I shouldn't be surprised, as they were honorable on the ship and forces to reckon with in their own rights. I wouldn't want to square up against them in a one on one fight!! As the cheers continued, I knew it was time for Cynhall's greatest ceremony.
 
The prince's birthday.
 
When he walked out, I found my eyes glued for but a moment to that charming smile. It felt friendly, true, and respectable. It was no wonder that the people wanted to follow him. He's one of those guys who just has that... feeling. The kind of feeling that could inspire others in their darkest times.
 
Maybe one day, people could look at me like that? Maybe that's too much to ask for, for a guy like me. I'm getting ahead of myself!
 
Standing near the front, it is common knowledge that not everyone holds the same views, especially in crowds. People tend to do dumb things together. Sure enough, a loud explosion would come from behind me, killing dozens and dozens of innocent people! I can still hear the screams of agony, the ones cut off so quickly... the ringing in my ears as the blast echoed against the walls.
 
I was so stunned, I didn't react nearly as quick as I thought I would. I just stood there while my comrades were rushing about and fighting that... that woman and her henchman!! Finally I kicked into gear! Our battle was long, strenuous, and many of us fell on both sides. In the end, I found myself still standing with Swordguard and Xarvarax, each of us just barely hanging in.
 
I remember guards dashing in from some location I cannot even recall, and my body gave out. I could go on no longer. I don't even remember hitting the ground or if someone had broke my fall.
 
The most important part of these last few hectic days was the most mysteriousnof all.
 
I heard something... someone. "Heretic and savior..." The feminine voice would say to me, clearly yet in a whisper of sorts. This worries me internally. I do not know what it means. For all I know I've finally hit crazy! Hopefully the others can shed some light, ooooorrrr... they'll call me crazy!
 
If I'm lucky, I won't be the one sounding like a lunatic here!! But it's not like I've not been called it before. They seem trustworthy enough. If worst comes to worst, I can twist this into a wonderful tale to captivate some audience and blame it on a wild imagination. Until next time.
 
Love,
