March 19, 1115 I got this journal from my mother to work on my writing skills, and after much diliberation, I’ve decided that I’m going to write about my days in it. There’s so much going on around here that it will be fun to keep track of. It’s my birthday today, though Hela did get most of dad’s attention as always. She’s so vicious that I stay out of her way. And to think we’re only 9. Sometimes I feel a lot older. Oh! Mom’s calling. I’ve gotta go, I’ll write again when something good happens.
March 27, 1115 Ugh! Hela is so mean! She stole my dress and destroyed it. Mom says I need to give her a break, but I’m done with being treated so meanly by her. She’s my sister, shouldn’t we get along? Why does she always have to bully me? I know sisters don’t always get along, but isn’t it the older sister’s role to be the bully? I guess that only counts when the difference is more that 10 minutes. Now I have to go to a party and put on a good face and look like she’s my friend when all I really want to do is punch her. I know better though, if I strike back I’ll be the one to get in trouble.
April 8 1115 Mom says she’s pregnant. I don’t know how to feel about this. I’d love to have a little sibling, but to subject him (or her) to everything I go through with Hela? That wouldn’t be right. Maybe if I get Hela to focus her attention on me my new sibling will be spared. I’ve got months until I have to worry about this I guess.
May 26 1115 Hela died today. She was kidnapped for ransom, and my dad paid, but they killed her anyway. How can anybody be so cruel? I cant help but wonder though... what if it’s for the best. Hela was just a little girl, but she was a nightmare. What would she have grown up to be?
October 8 1115 My brother was born today. He’s adorable. I know it’s wrong of me, but right now I’m just so glad he won’t be subjected to Hela. It’s almost as though she was wiped out of history now. No one talks about her. I wonder if Thor will ever learn that she even exsisted. Despite my anger towards her, I find myself missing her. Will that ever go away? She was a bad person, but she was a child just like me. Children can be changed. I’ve gotta go, my dad and I are traveling to the Naltai Amazon. He wants me to meet some long time friends of his.
January 26 1118 My mother came home from a charity event at those pretty waterfalls near the wetland today. Apparently my newest brother was born on her trip. His name is Loki and I guess he’ll have light minipulation powers. Thor is beginning to get up to no good. He can talk now and his powers are developing. He’ll randomly flicker into invisibility. It’s a bit creepy. Mother has also worked with me on harnessing my powers. They’re different than anyone else here in the Alps, so no one quite knows how to cultivate them. Oh, my voice lessons are starting. I’ll write again soon.
October 8 1121 Thor has begun to develope his powers accurately now and he’s gotten big into pranks. He sneaks up on random people. I always tell him not to do that because he’d be in trouble if he did that to a guard. Loki is also learning his powers. Thor has thaught him the art of pranks and they work together, making random bursts of light along with ‘floating’ objects to make it seem like there’s a ghost. I just know they’ll both get each other into trouble.
March 29 1123 Thor and Loki are devising more ways to put themselves in harms way as well as test the limits. It’s hard keeping them under control, but I’ve taken it on as my responsibility so I will. They’ve both begun their lessons and feel the need to compete at every turn. I swear, they wouldn’t make it without me.
March 19 1124 As a part of my parents manage agreement, I got my inheritance today. They’ve also begun speaking of marrying me off. I’m scared. I don’t want to be pushed away onto a random guy who I’m expected to spend my life with. Thor and Loki still need me though.
June 23 1125 They’re marrying me off. It’s acctually happening. And he’s boring, bland, and not a match for me at all. I’m not gonna go through with it. I’ve snuck out everything I need. Now I just need to find a time when I can sneak out. If I do it wrong, they’ll search for me and I won’t make it out.
July 4 1125 The memory of yesterday is seared into my mind. Perhaps getting it out on paper will help. I was reading a book in the lounge when I heard the call. There was a fire. I rushed out into the main room and coughed as I was bombarded with a barrage of smoke. There were huge flames engulphing the room. And Thor and Loki were in the middle. They were trapped and to little to find a way out. Changing the way things looked wouldn’t help them here. ’Calm down. It’s going to be alright.’ I whispered into their minds soothingly. They were so tense, but the words seemed to relax them a bit. ’Now I need you to do what I say.’ I added as I walked forward. It was tight. Some logs had fallen and the space between the beams were to tight for her to get through. They were to panicked though. They could get through themselves but they were to panicked. ’I need you to calm down. Loki first, come through this hole here.’ He, for once, did as she said and climbed through the biggest hole that there was. As he got through the beam fell, closing off that hole and scaring Thor. ”Loki, go to mom over there.” she said, then turned back to Thor who was now trapped between the beams and a now much closer flame. I looked up to find that he had climbed up to a higher ledge, supposedly to avoid the flames. That ledge was going to fall though. ’Thor, it’s me. Jump and I’ll catch you.’ I said. This wasn’t good. His eyes darted around nervously. ”Jump!” I yelled, out loud this time. He did just as the ledge fell and I caught him, placing him down.
I turned my attention to the right where I thought I saw movement. I was vaugely aware of Thor running in the direction Loki has before I went to investigate. ”Mom, Aldrif is still in here.” I heard as I saw that no one was there and turned to head to safety myself, relieved. As I was hurrying back, my exit was cut off by a falling beam. This was my chance, I relized. If I made it out, I would leave for good. They’d think I was dead and I’d be gone.
I turned to find another exit, screaming as a flaming peace of wood hit my shoulder. The smoke was choking me and I had to get out. Just then I saw a pure light. I singed my dress as I jumped through the hole in the wall but my made it out, clutching my arm. I made it to a camping site, but the rest of the night is blurry. I put a slave on and bandaged my arm, and then I went to sleep by the looks of it. I’m going to the house to see if anyone was injured in the fire, then I’ll build a more permanent home.
August 26 1126 I’m finally leaving. I’ve changed my name from Aldrif to Angela so they can’t find me and I plan to make a home in the Arctic. I’ll write more when something good happens.
September 13 1126 Is this what love feels like? I think it is. Lets backtrack a bit. I met a girl here in the Arctic named Launa. She’s funny and beautiful and I can’t keep my mind off her. I don’t deserve her. She doesn’t even know the truth of my past but... it breaks my only rule, but I’m gonna explain everything to her.
November 25 1127 Launa and I have settled down together and we adopted a daughter today. She is three years old and named Sophie. I see so much of Launa I’m her, though I must admit, these Arctic people all look similar. I remember how I felt about my brothers but this is even deeper than that. I want to protect Sophie and Launa any way I can.
January 26 1127 They’re gone. Those stupid bandits killed them. Well I vow to you in writing, I will get back at them and they will hate themselves for ever setting foot in the Arctic.
December 17 1132 It’s been a while. 6 years to be exact. I got my revenge on Launa and Sophie, but what that need turned me into? ... I saw Hela in the person I became. I saw Hela and I hate myself for that. I never want to become that person again. I’ve spent the last while settling down and have finally stopped here in the Naltai Amazon. I remember the first time I came here with dad. It was one of the closest things we had ever done together. I’ve made a home here now, and I hope to make a new life.
December 30 1133 I find it hard to care about anyone the way I did before. I keep almost managing it, but then I get this out of fear in my stomach that they’ll betray me and that monster will come back again. I don’t ever want to be able to compare myself to Hela again...
Janurary 2 1134 I’ve finally begun to settle down. I’ve made a few friends here and think I can live a good life here.
Janurary 6 1134 Sorry I haven’t written in a while. So much has happened. Loki returned and with him came Thor. Loki is somehow just able to... forgive me. I don’t know how and I don’t like it. Thor, on the other hand, is reacting properly. He’s mad at me. Loki being on my side is causing a rift between them though, and I don’t want to break the bond that the two have. It is, after all, my fault that I left.
February 16 1133 It’s been a year and things have only gotten more chaotic. Loki and Thor we’re back on the same side, but now Thor is ok with me and Loki is mad at me. What is wrong with my life. My only request is world peace, and if that is to much to ask for, then give my brothers the life they deserve. I can’t stay here and keep pulling them a part
February 19 1135 I planned on leaving today, but I found an orphan boy named Cody injured on the streets and have taken him in. He reminds me so much of my Sophie, and the bond that we have has already solidly formed. It looks like I’m staying.
April 27 1136 I left. Loki took Cody because he didn’t think I’d properly teach the kid to fight. I got so mad and I saw myself going over that edge but... I couldn’t. I left the first chance I got before I would have to confront Loki and go all the way over that edge. I’m going to travel again until I find another spot to settle down.
