Allies can be found when you least expect it, but need them the most.
-Professor Petros Lorrimor
My dear friend, Petros, has left an emptiness in my heart that denies filling.
After obtaining the beautiful hair clips at Harrowstone, I presented on e to Kendra. I assumed the sharing of these items might bind us together. But alas, although I still feel appreciative and fond of Kendra, the chasm in my heart remains open and wounded.
I attempted to fill it yet again this morning by offering my world renowned and melodic voice to soothe that scallywag of a human: Marcus. His abrupt and heartless refusal has just reminded me of how much I miss the Professor. He knew how to graciously accept such a valuable gift from one as marvelously talented as I! That low life, backwards, unrefined, loathsome creature of a con man will never again receive such an offer from me. I don’t care a diddle about how worried, tired and drained he may look!
Just when I was about to rid myself of these unworthy companions, Min approached. There is an intelligence, and empathy inside that insane little mind that I had not expected. For the first time since I’ve arrived in Ravengro, I felt I could be myself and talk freely. Although he is not equal to me in anyway, I am seeing a bond of some kind beginning to form.
Between us, we have decided on a couple of ideas to assist us on our endeavor.
First and foremost – all names have an important and sacred place on this mission. We have decided to not speak Kendra’s name aloud inside the prison walls. We have also decided to name our small but determined group. I have suggested Artrilla’s Army! But as I am trying to bolster the men with me, I am inclined to ask for additional input. For now I shall refer to us as Artrilla’s Army (as I am sure the others are delighted in being included in my fame). But I also realize how truly pig-headed and stubborn the males of any race can be and will be diplomatic if another name is chosen.
That being said (or written) Artrilla’s Army is off to find and face The Splatterman and his group of Harrowstone Five!
