"Ranger"s diary (written with the help of Rakker)

by "Ranger"

I've been told I might wanna keep a diary, to keep track of my thoughts and remember people. I'm still struggling with the writing, so Rakker is helping me.
Anyway.
I'm not sure where to start. I feel like far to much has happend in the last few years to be recaped here. I guess I could start with the Festival, I remember that better.
 
So we were organising a festival. Like the once we use to have before the fires. I didn't realise how much ive missed them untill Blim brought it up. I seems like the others feelt the same, everyone threw themselves at the work. Built games and made food. It was amazing, we havent had something to celebrate in a long time.
 
So a few days into the preparation we all received a letter. It was an invite to the festival addressed not only to Aremore but to the other nations as well. We don't know who sent it, or why. I wasnt even sure they would show up.
A few days ago it became apparent thay they will, as grand buildings started to pop up around the festival grounds.
I have to share something. Although ive been trying to hide it, it scares me a lot. I havent ment many people from outside of these forests. Much less at the same time. So many people all in one place, in my home, that I dont know.
Ive been trying to keep a brave face in front of the others. They were so excited, I dont want them to be scared too. I want to enjoy a festival again, Its so exhausting being scared.
 
Rakker was scared too. People from Virkhagen will be here, they might recognise him. We tried to reassure him. To tell him we wont let anybody bring a fight to a festival. To tell him we be able to defend him. Really i dont know... no wait dont write that, its nothing.
 
Anyway i should really get back to preparing stuff. im making a sled ride :)
