Chapter 2

***Notes in a journal can be seen jotted down. The journal is leather bound
and looks to be almost new.***

The more I travel the more things I see that must be balanced than just the
major forces of evil and good, chaos and order, and the presence of magic in
Thera. I see people even inside the Island govern their choices in an
unbalanced way. Letting fear hold them back, or recklessness bring them too
far. I've seen frustration make people act as if they've hit a stonewall. It
is okay to experience these things, but it not okay to have govern your life
by them.

A true Nexan must find the Balance in themselves as well as pushing for it in
the world. If fear of losing the pretty armor you found keeps you from
engaging the enemy, or fear of losing to an enemy makes you stand back then
you are not balanced in yourself. On the other side of the coin if you
recklessly put your life in danger and fall repeatedly without need, that is
not Balanced either. Even then there are times where the right choice is
sacrificing yourself for the greater Balance.

Frustration. I've seen frustration tip more souls of the Island than almost
anything. Frustration leads to anger, and anger is an emotion that inside a
Nexan it must be balanced. Of course the world is going throw you challenges,
to balance those challenges you must overcome them without falling prey to
giving up.

These observations since my experiments with the rats just once again
enforces my view that balance is a necessary and an essential part of life.
Thera needs balance to continue existance, and so do people. Without Balance
you just become your enemies fodder, and a burden to yourself and the world.
