Role

Chapter 7

Found myself a couple new homes. I'm trying to exploit all my talents at
once. Some folks might think having half my caravan beheaded would make
me reluctant to start stealing things for a living, but I'm hard-headed.
I joined the Galadon Thieves guild, thanks to the Kingpin Iktul. He paid
all of my dues. The guy's really big on recruiting folks to the guild.

Sadly, due to some kind of crazy conversation he had with Celenai, which
probably had a whole bushel of misunderstanding in it, he's not too happy
with her, which sort of makes him somewhat unhappy with the Heralds by
proxy. I don't know what their beef with each other is honestly.

That brings me to my next point, the home I was looking for all along. I
joined the Heralds, very nearly by accident. I wasn't the first bit
prepared for an interview but fellow Galadon thief and Herald Braem told
Celenai I was pondering the option and he dragged me to the Inn. Suddenly
I was getting an interview, and just as suddenly I was a Herald. In spite
of this, I'm settling in nicely. I've got a reason to doodle out some
choreography now, and I'm enjoying being able to feel like I can express
myself again. I've started work on a new poem, about this dream I keep
having. I'm thinking about going and showing it to Lady Iunna.

I talked to her for a long while the other day. I'd gone wandering kind
of a long time ago and came upon this group of folks who had parked their
caravans sort of southeast of Seantryn Modan. Everything about the place
made me feel so strangely at home, but I could sort of just tell it wasn't
quite the same. I saw this lady do a dance in the fire and I read all
these books. I went into Iunna's holy place and read all her books too.

I'm not sure I really understand all the stuff about the Jhaana al Fiern,
but I really like Iunna, and I told her I want to be one of her religious
folk. I guess maybe she just wants to keep her eye on me because she
didn't ask me to do anything aside from what I already am.

Even though I'm starting to feel at home again, I know I've still got
growing to do somehow. Things don't just fall into place this easily,
I know. Sometimes you've got to whirl with life a little bit to get it
where it ought to be going.
