Hey Ike or Aika. . . . . can I have some time off?  I want to go to the Gran Desert and train with Stefan a bit.

It looks like I was spared from the chaos!!  It doesn't seem like it was that bad this time though.  Nobody did anything stupid.  People just looked stupid.

The dark god must have taken pity on me.

Hi everyone!  I'm finally back!! I've been out on a looong secret mission that not even Ike knew about!  The mission was a success but sorry I can't tell anyone about it.  I'm sworn to secrecy.


It's so weird though, I leave for a little bit and all sorts of crazies from the other world show up!  I wish more of our people would get these journal-y things.  Maybe they'd be a little less scary then.  *sigh*

What I learned from this last week:  I'm happier as a woman. 

I'm just as good at swordplay as any man and quicker than most.  All I lack is the strength, but I'm fine without that.  I'm so happy that I didn't do anything that I would have regretted later. . . . that fear is actually the worst part of the chaos.

No offense kiddo, but I'm glad I stood my ground.  I like you and everything, but that would have been a level of weirdness that I wouldn't have been comfortable with now. . . or even then for that matter.

Guys, I am a man!!! I thought that this had already happened?  I would say, "Time to go beat stuff up." but I don't need to be a man to do that. . . . .

Wow!!! My mommy said no real swords until I'm 10, but I can't find my wooden sword!?! Just a real one, that's really, really, really neat!!!!!

Where is my mommy? Why am I with all these strangers?

Hi, hi!! I'm back. I have been back, but I haven't had a free moment to write.

Being a cat was fun until dinner came. Dinner was a little on the raw side of things. Gross. So I'm sorry Muarim, but you may have lost quite a bit of weight while I was you.

I'm kind of in a desert right now. Not really sure what is going on. But somehow I think this has something to do with the Dark God. I seem to be Muarim for the moment. I'm going to have to try all the fun things that the Laguz can do that we can't, like changing into animals!

You know, this could have been much worse.

I am still hunting for my ultimate rival. I'm starting to think that M-Unit might really be my perfect rival. . . but wouldn't we fight the same way. . or at least very similar?

I’ve been gone on a little extended leave from our little mercenary group and when I finally come back, what do I find. . . . a lot of strange people hanging around. The strangest part is they look just like us. I heard a rumor that I have a double around here somewhere. Which means, finally, I have the perfect rival! Who better to hone my skills on than myself? This means that Rhys is off the hook. He is no longer my rival. I have a few questions:

1. What in the world is going on here?
2. Where in the world is my double?
3. What's up with everyone's wacko personalities?

I'm serious about that last one. Everyone (that includes my friends) is acting really weird.
