Ya ain?t gonna believe it!!! I am now a Queen!! No seriously and honestly and truly. A real Queen of a real Kingdom. After our wedding ceremony there was a coronation and it is all official and the council was there and everything and they all started hollering GOD SAVE THE KING! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! HUZZAH!

I could have fainted I do believe. Luckily although my wedding gown was cut to fit right snuggly in all the right places I could still breathe just fine so I was in no danger of having to take them short little panting kind of breaths like we sometimes have to take when them there maids pull your laces too tight so I did not swoon or faint either one when they was a hollering out their happiness.

Well I think it was happiness I ain?t rightly sure if that was it or if that was all part of the coronation ceremony itself. That might have been part of the script they were supposed to follow or they could have just been overjoyed to have a Queen after them not having one for so long now.

Or I guess they could just be happy their King has someone to love that loves him right back just as much. Maybe I should have paid a little more attention in some of tutoring lessons instead of daydreaming about my Gav quite so much. I ain?t ready for this whole being Queen thing. I don?t really know the first thing about it except I ain?t supposed to be cussing people no more and I ain?t supposed to be making threats neither cause that could get the country into a war and that would not be good for the people.

I might have maybe already messed up on them there two things last night in the Arena when I closed down the fist fighting so that I could go and watch the Warlord?s fighting in their Spring Tournament that Pslyder was acalling.

I tried to resist I swear I did. I went to Battlefield Park where Baron E(silent) is letting us have the fist fighting while the Outback is being repaired after the lying pyro Vanion set it on fire and sat there in my uniform for a good 45 mins awaiting to see if anyone wanted to fight last night.

No one came and I couldn?t stand it I swear I couldn?t!!! So I left a note on the gate and I took off for the Arena running as fast as I could so that I wouldn?t miss nothing. I?m praying that my Boss Matt will forgive me but if he won?t I?ll sneak some money out of the treasury and pay him off!!! I HAD to see the BLOOD lettin?!!!!!!

Well I got there and there was a whole passel of folks already there ready and waiting to slice and dice their way to the grand prize, a chance to be the Overlord of the Duel of Swords. What an honor that is too I?m here to tell ya.

The swords and staffs and clubs and fists and feet were a flying as they started off in the first round of competition. I was in HEAVEN I tell ya HEAVEN!! There was blood everywhere!! My guys were doing GREAT!! I was a whooping and a hollering and a cheering and a drinking and just having a grand time. BUT!!!!! That lying, nasty, no good, no count, low down, slimy snake in the grass pyro Vanion was there afighting too in the tournament.

He and I in case I ain?t told ya yet ain?t getting along too well at the moment because he is claiming that I am a liar because I seen him set the Annex on fire and he is claiming that Dimitri did it when I know better. AND he is claiming that he didn?t try and kill me in that there fire when I heard him with my own ears make that very threat!

Things didn?t go well for my guys that first round. They all lost and I was booing Skyler to till the cows came home and he won. I was not a happy camper to say the least. Even my guys Anubis and Delroy lost and Delory was fighting Vanion.

Then came round two. I was in a quandry about my cheering this here go around. I love to cheer ya see. BLOOD! GUTS! GLORY! That is where it is at!! Well Delroy ended up facing Anubis two of my guys!! I was torn to say the least I couldn?t cheer for one or the other because they are both MINE!!!!! So I had to just hold my breath and watch them two going at it. It was a glorious fight for Anubis as he won by shut out the first one of the night!!

To top it off I was booing Skyler and he and I have this thing going against each other since I beat him arm wrestling by means that might have been less than fair because of what I was wearing at the time and him getting a bit distracted by what was not completely covered by my outfit and all.

Also him being all mad at me for sending out my town criers on the street corners to tell everyone I know he is a really nice guy when he swears to everyone that he isn?t. Well there he was paired up again Vanion of all people who I am definitely against way more than I?ll ever be against Skyler!!! If I had to say it outright I actually like Skyler or I wouldn?t torment him so. But it ain?t no crush or nothing like that. More like I like him like a brother.

I ain?t never had no family here ya know. I do miss my family back home sometimes. I have been lonely at different times since I ended up here but I do have so many friends to fill the time with that it is only when I have been at home by myself that the loneliness has crept in on me.

Bah enough of that! I was telling ya about this here tournament that I went to last night and how now I am a cheering for Skyler for all I am worth. You know what he done stomped a mud hole in that nasty lying pyro Vanion too!!! Well that is when the trouble really started and I forgot that I am a Queen now and have responsibilities to more than just myself.

I was perched on the bar with my bottle of beer so I would have a good view of all the rings and the dueling and here came Vanion strolling on over to get himself something to drink. I smirked at him because he lost and he spit in my face!!! Now I will admit to you and only you that during his duel with Skyler and I had been yelling at Skyler to ?Kill the pyro? maybe once or twice.

Skyler was walking over to me too at the time and was kind enough to let me use his shirt to wipe the nasty blood infested spit from my face since his shirt already was sweaty and bloody and my Imp t-shirt was nice and clean still.

Skyler was right nice last night and he and I did talk some and I did cheer for him quite a bit. We talked about our mutual friend Jewell and how we both miss her and are both worried because we haven?t heard from her. He wished that she could have been there to see him and I agreed that she would have been so proud of him.

Well needless to say after that little incident things went downhill rather quickly and I threatened Vanion with the Westridge army. I know! I know! A Queen should never lose her temper like that and threaten a single person with an entire army. But I did it. You let someone spit in your face and see how you like it!!!

Vanion replied with someone about puny human armies were no threat to him. And my dirty veins were something or another disgrace, only he had a better insult, to royal blood. I asked him who told him I had royal blood in my veins cause I ain?t got none in them.

I thought it was pretty funny that he thought I was gonna send a human army after his nasty drow hide and having finally found me someone that would teach me to cuss in Elvish began to cuss him right proper!

Now that lying pyro knows he isn?t messing with any mere humans and he better be watching his step by golly!! Of course I don?t know if he understood a word I said but I sure felt better being able to cuss him right proper in my new language!

Then again Miss Partinger would be turning over in her grave and I?m not so sure that my husband would be very proud of me for disrupting a tournament the way I did. But at least I didn?t throw nothing at him while he was dueling like Dimitri did. He was throwing pieces of ice at Vanion while he was dueling Rena. She beat him right proper too!!

Why is it that sometimes Skyler is so nice to me and other times he is so mean? I can not figure that out? It just don?t make no sense. There ain?t no rhyme nor reason to it neither. He can be nice in the Inn and he can be nice in the Arena. He can be mean in the Inn and he can be mean in the Arena. I just never know from one day to the next which it is gonna be either.

Anubis was kind enough to offer me his protection again last night when Vanion was up to his tricks and being all nasty like to Dimitri and I who were looking for a place of safety to get away from the lying pryo snake in the grass. I do like him and he is kind to me. Very surprising considering him and everything that he is and everything that he does and all.

I believe that people think that I don?t know about Anubis and who and what he really is. But they are wrong. I have known him for years and I do know the other side of him and I have seen it in action. I think they don?t notice how careful I am around him maybe.

That I defer to him and am careful not to look him in the eye and am careful to be a bit submissive when dealing with him which I am normally not when dealing with people. I make it a point to not stand too close to him and to not make him angry with me. If he were to ask me to get him a drink I would without question. I am no one?s fool you see.

In times of trouble it is good to have Anubis that I can go to and ask for help and as long as I don?t abuse that it is a very good thing. So far in all these years I have only asked him for help once and I hope that I will not have to ask him again. I do consider him a friend of mine.

Oh my goodness I almost forgot what happened last Thursday night that I didn?t tell ya about yet!!! My Gavilean bought me from Imp!!! I was horrified! I was pissed! I still can?t believe it happened right there in front of God and everybody in the Arena!!!!!

I had been having it out with Imp off and on all night. I kicked him! I twisted his ears! I pulled his ears! I think I might have even bit him a time or two trying to get him to say he didn?t own me. He would NOT relent. Just kept saying I was his womens and he wasn?t giving me up for the wedding.

Now ya gotta remember he was invited to the wedding and I was getting pretty nervous about what might happen. I had sent him several messages and he kept sending me ominous messages back that had me worried to say the least so I was atrying to get this whole thing straightened out before the big event.

Gav was taking care of some last minute business that had come up with the treasurer, something about the cat-o-nine tails that I had bought that the treasurer felt was unnecessary. Stupid treasurer anyway but that is neither here nor there at the moment.

Anyway here comes Gav and Imp attacked him from out of nowhere!!! Well I guess it wasn?t really from out of nowhere since the P?Imp does tend to attack my men. Anyway he has attacked both Jean and now Gav repeatedly and I have seen him attack Kaja?s G before. But still I wasn?t expecting it when it happened since I had been attacking him trying to get him to give it up and say he didn?t own me!

There the two of them was squared off against each other. The tiny blue terror and my beloved negotiating for ME!!! Imp gave him a price and Gav informed him he wasn?t asking nearly enough for me and made a counter offer. Oh lordy be you?d have thought I was some prize heifer up on the auction block! I just stood there and stared dumbfounded at the proceedings. Xeno was trying to reassure me that my Gav knew what he was adoing.

Gav was trying to reassure me but I was having none of it. It is a wonder I didn?t gut them both right then and there. But I do love my husband and he is a wise man and when it was all said and done Imp did behave very well at the wedding. At the reception he did have a little difficulty and did attack Gav a few times but mostly he just drooled a LOT over the womens.

We did have fancy towels with our initials and the date of our wedding embroidered on them made by Dana disguised as wedding favors for those that needed to wipe Imp drool off of themselves so all was well.

And then there are the many lovely presents that we have received for our wedding gifts. Our friends have truly gone out of their way to find special gifts and that means more than any words I?ll ever be able to find to thank them for them.

So many people came to the wedding and made it very special that I could cry just writing about it here.

Ugh!! I?ve got much better things to do than sit here and write in you you nasty little black book. I?m done!!!!!!!
