(ooc note: there are going to be grammatical errors and disjointed thoughts galore as this thread is supposed to be the ramblings of a half crazed elf.)
Rayvinn eased herself onto her bed, crossing her legs Indian style and settling her newest purchase into her lap. Several breaths were taken and exhaled slowly, breathing through the persistent physical pain that wracked through her too-thin frame.
The soft leather cover of the journal was opened and she slid a finger over the rough parchment within. Having never been one to write out her feelings; preferring weapons and her own big mouth to convey her thoughts, she wasn't sure where to start. The pen was lifted with a softly trembling hand that was far more adept at wielding a sword.
November 6th
I'm back in RhyDin, staying in my old room at the Red Dragon. The furniture that Reap threw out the window when he was helping me move is gone. I kinda figured it would magically repair itself like the Inn does on a nearly daily basis. New bed is a lot better, however.
I wish there was some way to get my things back from Jono's house without him knowing I had been there. I can't face him yet. All of my clothes, jewelry, my shoes...he probably isn't dusting my poor shoes. My paintings are still in the attic. Probably best to leave most of them anyway since they will only remind me of him.
Why did I come back here? Why did I leave to begin with?
I have been called masochistic more times than I can count, but this is surely the worst of it. What did I think would happen when I got back? Did I think all of my memories would just vaporize and I would be at peace? There is no peace. Not for me. I fear that even if I finally took matters into my own hands and just f*cking died...there would still only be torment.
The voices of the dead fill my ears and their touch is the icy chill that creeps along my spine. How many have died for me...or because of me...or by my very hand? It doesn't matter if some of them deserved it. Who am I to play judge and executioner with another being's life? The cost of this endeavor has been too steep. I have left ruin in my wake once again and what did I gain? Certainly not peace.
Why did I come back here???
Rayvinn slammed the journal shut and tied the leather cord around it once. Knees were drawn painfully to her chest until her forehead could rest upon them; she sobbed until the candle finally burned out. Continuing to sit upon her bed in the pitch black of night, back pressed to the wall, she contemplated the price of the peace that just would not come to her.
