Written in a flowing though casual script, her journal was just to be begun now that she had things to write in it. Using the silver inked pen that her mother had given her when she left, she wrote in a lockable journal that she had purchased though the pages were also enchanted so that only she could see the words written upon them.

Entry One:

Thus far things have gone well for me since my transfer to Rhy"Din University. I had no real reason to expect otherwise though there is always some anxiety natural to coming to a larger city, larger school, and of course larger staff. I have made a few friends and my students are great. A few do not apply themselves as they should but that is a problem in every school and to be expected here as in anywhere.

One thing of note, I have found that I enjoy the Inn, that is the Red Dragon Inn, here in Rhy"Din City. I have never been much of one for inns or liquor beyond a glass or two of wine but the company is nice and I shall continue to go there on occasion.

My first "thefts" went off without any problems as well. No one was able to detect my presence, as I expected, and, from what I have gathered, the Watch is still baffled. I really did not expect them to find anything as they seem to be more of a figurehead than anything else; an official presence while the real work in such cases is done by the rather diverse citizens of this place. Something that is far more apparent here in Rhy"Din city than elsewhere in the world. Nexus appears to like this city far more than others.

I am also glad to write that my language skills are already being put to far better use than they had been. A student who was, as yet, barely being taught has already begun to make great headway under my tutelage and is beginning to learn the common language of this world. There are so many here who can use the help of my various skills. It feels so good to make myself useful.

With 'donations" that I have made, I feel rather like a figure I once heard of in a story from a world called Earth. A regular Robin Hood of Rhy"Din. I like that' It has a rather nice ring to it, I think. If I were not an Undistinguishable with a reputation to uphold, I would, perhaps, use that as my calling card. "The Robin Hood of Rhy"Din!"

Well, it is beginning to get late and I have things to do tonight and a class to teach in the morning. More later when more has happened.

Robin Hood of Rhy?Din, Silver

P.S.- I still like that. Perhaps someone will think of it someday.

The name was signed in a fancy script with a single penned feather beside it and a mark beneath it.

Entry three was written in a hurried but still flowing hand in that same silver ink.

Entry Three:

Busy, busy, busy. That is all i have seemed to be for the last few days. Work at the University is going very well. My students have come to know that, despite my height and the fact that i am fairly young, i am not to be trifled with.

I have begun to slow down my nightly activities. At first i started out fast and did well but i would really rather be careful now that people are cognizant of the fact that i am out here, so to speak. Though the Watch and everyone else still have no idea that i am the culprit.

I am so happy to say that i found a ....well, i cannot say 'reputable' but i should at least say respected fence to sell my conquests to. He asks no questions and also no name and doesn't even question the cloak, mask, and disguised voice in which we do business. It is rather a relief as it has allowed me to go on giving to those who need it the most.

Much yet to do today so i must be going. More when more has happened.

As ever, Silver

In entry five the method and look of the writing remained unchanged. Flowing script in a silver pen.

Entry Five:

So much has been going on though little of interest to be written here.

Placement tests were last week which kept me very busy of course. The young man i have been tutoring in Common is doing very well and did very well on the tests also. I think he will make a very fine man one day and be a credit to the school now that he is learning rather than languishing with the hunger for knowledge but no way to learn.

I met a man by the name of Sacratan and have spoken to him a number of times since then. I really think i like him as more than a friend. He is a 'Neko' and his tail and ears are so cute. I laugh as i write this and smile as well. I haven't seen him in a few days but then we have both been busy.

My extracurricular activities are going as well as always. The Watch is annoyed at the lack of leads and lack of evidence. They try so hard but an Undistinguishable is just that. I will not be seen and certainly not caught or suspected. I would be a disgrace to my race if i were to be.

My fence has done a wonderful job of cutting down the things i have taken and none have been seen again. The money has been going to those who need it. I am so glad to be able to help them.

Silver

Still in the silver ink, the words this time were angled strangely as though she were perturbed as she wrote, angry or resentful.

Entry Seven:

Gods what a day. Everything went well until the evening. My classes are doing wonderfully, my students that i am tutoring are coming along nicely, and my clandestine activities had been going well.

Until tonight.

I was found, so to speak. He could not see nor find me after he came to the sound of that damnable jewelry box squeaking. He burned me in an attempt to find me, which i healed with no lasting harm or sign. He threatened to tear the building apart, which i talked him out of. In general though, he would not leave. I did not wish him charged with the theft that i had just committed and wanted to make certain that he was not or if he was that blame would not fall upon him despite the annoyance he caused me.

His name was Van. I had met him before. He was the one i wrote about meeting in the alleyway. I said before that i would wait to make judgment and i probably still should but at the moment, i could care less if we ever meet again. He flew through a wall and left a hole bigger than his ego. I put the jewelry that i had taken back so that he would not be charged with my crime though i leave him to take responsibility for the damage he caused if it is found out that he was the culprit. I, of course, left no sign that i had been there at all. I will have to go back in a few days if i really want the jewelry that i was going to take....I will decide later. For now, i will let things cool down in that area.

Ah well. At least i was not captured though he seemed to think that he could have done so had he desired. I doubt it a bit but who can truly say until it is tried? I have no desire to find out at present.

Enough for tonight. I am tense and overwrought. I think i might go to the Glen for some peace and quiet.

Always, Silver

That silver pen was picked up once more to be used after so long and her journal opened to a clean page. Without hesitation, she began to write.

Entry Nine:

Having finally had some interesting things happen, i have decided to write. The University finally found a worthy candidate for my assistant and so far everything has gone well. It is almost funny to admit that the one they picked was the student that i tutored. The one who hadn't been able to speak the common tongue at all before i came. It seems that he was paying attention to how i did things even as he was learning because he fits right into the position like a gem in the setting created for it. He has been a great help.

Speaking of gems, i found a strange one not too many days ago. I entered the manse (I can't very well call it a house what with the size of it...) and i was certainly right in doing so. There really wasn't any jewelry but there was gold and some jewels. The one that i speak of, i didn't realize was special until i got home. It glows a bit though barely noticeable. I thought it was an emerald at first. I don't really know what to do with it now. I can't sell something so singular to the fence. It just isn't my way.

Suppose i will keep it for now. Can't really hurt to do so. I have it in my pocket at the moment. I hope to get a chance to take it somewhere where they might know exactly what it is but i have just been so busy with the new class and everything that by the time i get done i have forgotten all about the stone until i take everything out of my pockets for the night. I will remember eventually.

All for now, Silver.

Once again elegant and flowing, she was obviously far less agitated in her writing this time.

Entry Eleven:

Finally i am able to write again with good news. Van is all right. I saw him the other day and he walked me home. I feel much better about it now. I suppose i should go into an explanation of what happened.

The stone i stole a couple of weeks ago was somehow very harmful to Van. It made him very sick to be around it when he sat down next to me. He started to turn very green, his veins and all, and the only thing i could think of as a cause was the stone. I threw it as far as i could (it landed in the fountain...) and he was quickly all right again. A friend of his arrived then and as he was talking to her, i went and retrieved the stone, trying to see if anything had changed about it. It was still glowing a bit, from Van's proximity i realized.

Then he told me to put it down on the ground. I was reluctant at first because i didn't want something to happen to him in trying to destroy it but i finally did as he said and stepped away. He used his heat vision on it. It turned black. He thought it was innocuous then and went cautiously to it. Then he picked it up. It changed something in him. He wasn't himself and i was a bit afraid of him. A second of Van's friend's had arrived and he took off.

The three of us went after him, though i had no real control over it. One of the women had some sort of magic ring and took us into the air. I did not like it one bit. Especially when Van started attacking us. There wasn't anything that i could do and i really didn't like the idea of being dropped from the height that we were at. I am an Undistinguishable. I would much rather keep my feet on the ground.

Finally i was put down on the ground as the green ringed one went off to try to stop Van in the upper sky where there was little to no air. I walked home with the other woman who could not follow them. She tried to walk me home but i told her not to and that it wasn't far. I did have classes the next day after all and i had been out rather later than i had intended.

When i met up with Van, he startled me with his sudden appearance and i stepped back, worried that he might still not be right. He looked rather hurt by it and went to leave and i grabbed his arm to stop him. He was apologetic. I was apologetic. Together we put each other back at ease with one another. So much for my early reservations about waiting to make my decision. It is made now. Van is my friend, as far as i am concerned.

As i said, he walked me home though i didn't say that his arm was around my shoulders as he did so. I think he wanted to protect me or something. I didn't mind. We talked of nothing really important. I told him about my classes a bit and that sort of thing. We enjoyed the walk.

The items i had acquired just before he arrived have been changed to coin and distributed. It feels very good to be of help to the needy people of the area. I hope i can continue to do so much for them.

Always, Silver

Entry Thirteen:

At last the semester has come to an end. I was surprised when a number of my students brought me gifts. One even proposed to me though i laughed that off and told him i was too old for him. That got a laugh and he merely said, "Maybe next semester then!" I will miss many of them though certainly not all. Most did extremely well.

I have found a few gifts for people. I got my assistant a winter set with scarf, hat, gloves, and thick warm boots. He loved the practicality of it and wears it already since i am not likely to see him much before next semester begins.

I have still been out and busy at nights. I am glad that i do not feel the cold as easily as many do. I am thinking of doing a mass night as i have done a time or two before. That way i will be able to make sure that none have a sad Christmas.

I haven't seen any of my friends lately. I don't know if it is that i am going out at the wrong times or that they are gone. I hope it is not the latter but with Nexus one never knows. If they are, i shall have to make new. I should do that anyways but i haven't had the time or inclination lately. Ah well. What shall be, shall be. And i will see what is to be done soon.

All for now, Silver.

Entry Fifteen:

Its been a while now since last i updated my journal. Sad to say there is little new to report. I still haven't seen most of my friends though i did see Sacratan for a little while a couple of weeks ago. He was well though we haven't managed to get together again and really talk.

Still no word from Van. I hope he is well. I still have his Christmas gift for when and if i see him again. When one is on Rhy'Din, one never knows who might not return.

Classes have resumed without a hitch and things are going very smoothly. I only have one problem student so far this semester. He simply will not apply himself. I don't know why he even took the course if he will not take the work seriously. My assistant is a godsend again. I don't know if i would be able to make do without him anymore. I could probably manage but it would be much more time consuming.

I am still active on an approximately tri-weekly basis at night. Sometimes only biweekly. There is so much more that i wish i could do. Perhaps i will have another spree soon. I wonder if the Watch would even report if i did. I think i am really becoming an embarrassment to them. I doubt they want to broadcast that they still have no leads on me. Nor will they any time soon, if i can help it.

Mother and Father's letter was sufficiently juicy to get me caught up on happenings back home and also to make me homesick. I might just have to make a trip home over Spring Break. They would like that, i am sure, and i know that i would enjoy it.

All for now, Silver

Long had the silver pen been left to sit in the dust, waiting for the Undistinguishable to write again. She picked up the pen at last, months after she had last written and began.

Entry Seventeen

It seems i go longer and longer without writing any more but then things have been busy. A colleague invited me to go along on a trip while Winter Vacation was going on and i accepted. It was a nice quiet time.

I haven't stopped my nightly activities though the Watch no longer make notice of me. I think i have become an embarrassment to them. Not surprising really. I have operated here for well over a year and they have still never had any lead towards finding me. It is highly amusing to all but them and those who possessions i have acquired.

I've made a fair few friends lately at work. My assistant is still a wonderful help and the other teachers are very kind. Aside from my nightly activity, i don't get out very much though i really must start trying to do so.

All from me for now, Silver
