The Falcon's perspective

Dear journal,
 
I think that's how a journal works? you write in it as if you're alive? oh wow, maybe you are, I'm so sorry if I insulted you..
 
Uh, today was so cool.. I've actually flown! Like.. you know that I've always looked at the falcons, owls and ravens back home, and wondered what it would be like to fly up high, see the forest from their perspective..
 
We went out riding with our new new friends, the ones that Griff introduced us to, you know the ones if you're alive, if not, then uh.. Well I know the ones.. anyway, so we went to ride with them, on horses. My horse knew his own name "Twinkletoes". Very regal if you ask me, well fitting to his character I think. To be fair, it was a bit of an awkward conversation, he was very focused on how I would climb on his back, and told me he doesn't really like it when people do that.. Griff thought Twinkletoes had no choice in that matter though, it was that or get eaten?.. uh, I digress..
 
We went to a forest where we took a small break, Griff went up in the air with Godrick and our new friends went up as well and then Vence actually did a magic thing and made me fly. It's much more difficult than I thought, just makes me admire the seemingly effortless ease that those owls showcase every night, more than ever before even. I think I've been up at least 800 feet, probably more.. I wish I was able to properly draw the perspective you get of seeing a forest and it's surroundings from that height.
 
Our new friends showcased an unimaginable talent for talking, interacting and just generally being in full harmony, with the creatures in the forest. it was an amazing sight to behold.
 
This visit to the forest was just so good, it almost made me forget about the restlessness, that feeling of being incomplete.. speaking of which.. April proved once again she's an amazingly sharp and smart person, she was able to gather from just looking at that scroll box I've carried for years, that it's from the Lhazaar principalities. Another clue that could help find that stranger maybe... Strangers.. yeah we met this very brightly colored robe wearing wizard "the fastest wizard of the world", the one that Conrad told me to go talk to about my best friend. I think he's fine where he is right now though, and I'm not entirely sure about this guy yet. Again, and by this point probably unsurprisingly so, he knew Cissa.. of course he did, everyone seems to know Cissa..
 
oh almost forgot.. This Tristan fella we met? I think he might actually be like a lycanthrope maybe? he seemed to know a lot about that. I think if I understood correctly, he told the princess that he isn't one, but I'm not 100% sure if I interpreted his lip movement correctly, Griff thinks he's a vampire. I don't have a clue about those..
 
Gotta leave you alone for a bit now journal, I'm heading back to the spire of knowledge with those questions about my mom and about who made that statue of hawk. And then finally go see a lock about a key. I'm actually a bit hesitant to be completely honest with you.. who knows what might be behind that door...
