Today we received another letter. It had one sentence; we have captured their leaders and are in the process of negotiating terms. I’m assuming that anything more could have been used against them somehow, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so short. This is exciting, hopefully, this will be the end of that and everyone will be able to return home, It’s been so quiet around here these last couple days.

As for Astrie refinement, I am making good progress. I’ve gotten to the point that it is all grunt work, Mest can’t help me much anymore. It is now obvious to me what I need to change, it’s just that there is so much of it that it is going to take a while.

After lunch three of the Ent’s, two males and one female, came to me with a request. They wanted permission to explore the world, for different reasons. One, the female, decided that they want nothing from this life other than a sense of adventure, another wants to find himself, figuring that they will have the opportunity to do so in their travels, the third wants to find something of their past life. I agreed, under three conditions. The first condition is that they all receive names before they leave, the second is that they spend a month being trained by Mest, Tiddol, and Parius or Thes on how to survive in any situation, the third is that they come back to visit when they get the chance, they might be born more mature than most, but they are still my children. The accepted those conditions gracefully. Of course, Mest agreed to teach them, I’m starting to think he loves sharing his knowledge more than he loves learning. Tiddol took a bit of convincing, though that is pretty normal recently. Thes just kind of grunted before returning to carving a stick into a figurine.

Overall it was an interesting day.

Anyway, Good Night Diary
