Ember's End

by Talia Everlore

We decided to visit a more popular skyruin than usual, as this time it will be just us! Our first venture as a team with no 'babysitter' -titans, i think I'd get a very annoyed look by MiMi if I said that in front of them- But well...the amount of information for other attractions and events, as well as the advertising posters and leaflets should've been a warning we would be venturing into a more...commercialized skyisland.
 
Still!! I never really been around so much technology and densely populated area...It kind of makes me more anxious than usual but Lee and Yunseul look a bit more used to such crowds,so I trust them to guide us.
 
They met a rather interesting fellow..I think his name is Swindle? I wonder what that translates to from draconic. Lee mentioned his name's meaning. I find it cute. I wonder what Yunseul's name means now too. I know mine is dewdrop cause my mom is cheesy like that. I miss her.
 
speaking of parents! Seems like Soot's father is Doctor Jakob Fitzgerald. We heard word he might be here and we tried to meet with him but instead we found one of Soot's siblings, and Doctor's inventions, who had taken on the look of the Doctor. Poor thing was hurt and hoped we were the ones to fix them up... It was kinda sad to disappoint them but technological means of such detail are hardly mended with just magic.
 
Also Lee admitted to be missing his family a bit...Maybe I should talk to him about that,offer him some support if he needs it. I understand how it feels being away from home. I miss my childhood room some days and mom's fresh flower bouquets every morning. But now I get to wake up to Stardust's cuddles and my own flowerbeds. Ma and Pops are surely proud.
 
But I don't think they'd be as proud if they learnt I spent all my gold on a magical bag...at least I can carry most necessities in there and not to worry!
 
OH! BACK TO SWINDLER!! Swindle? Swingly? uuuh, he said he has a secret passage for us! One only true adventurers would be able to travel through! I just hope we won't get in trouble...or reach the final room...we can't really make this dungeon disappear or the whole skyisland will be in real disarray...TOO MUCH STRESS! UGH!!!
 
At least we have Roaches- Him being as straight forward and honest as he is always puts my mind and heart at ease. Bless his spirit and heart. Truly a gem of an individual to stick close to.
 
I want to come here with Ember some day. So many jokes can be made and seeing their cute face getting flustered will be the best.
Alas- That will need to wait until we all can have time again.
 
Sincerely yours, T xxxx
 
PS. I heard yearly subscriptions are a scam, what do you think? Can you explain it to me like when we were 15?
