Sins and Amendments

[Azure Lynch]

This is the thoughts of Azure Journey before and after his return. Please do not post anything with out permission thank you.


Azure sits on top of a hill looking down at a small house seeing a two women and a young girl picking fruit. He smiles and pulls out a book wrapped in red leather he pulls out a bottle of red liquid and a quill. He dips the quill in the liquid and begins to write.

My Little Dragon this Journal will be yours if anything happens to me so I writhe my thoughts so you know the truth..

I look down at Sam, me ex wife, Aleyah, my sister, and Phoenix, my daughter. Its been years since I moved close to them to prove to Sam I have changed. I dont know if I have done this. But she lets me spend all the time with our little dragon. 15 years where has the time gone. Phoenix has become a talented mage and her ability with a sword is natural. I may not have to worry about the boys when I'm gone if pheo don't hurt them if they tried anything Sam and aliyah are just as scary. Aleyah its been what 7 years that you showed up last time we saw you you was just a kid your self, Camilla was what Father named you. You left that blood shed behind you. And ever since then you have done everything you could to be helpful you learned to help and heal people and your meals man when did you learn to cook. Of course you make me do all the heavy lifting and farming.

Azure stops writing and closes his journal. As he heads down to the table for supper. Hearing his daughter call for him.

Azure sits at the top of the hill watching the stars. He pulls out his journal and with his quill dips it in the red liquid and starts to Wright.

I had that vision again. Something is going on back there and its drawing me in. I told them all and of course they are all worried. Sam didn't say anything really just the look on her face said enough "if you hurt our daughter again he will be the last of your worries" Aleyah ordered me to not give into my rage or ill have to face her wrath.
Scarry that one is. But Phoenix she was mad didn't say much. She stormed out, I dont blame her.

Azure writing was interrupted hen a fireball exploded near him. He quickly grabbed his waraxe and in the split of a second deflected the sword strike from his daughter.

"Why are you leaving. You don't have to go" as she struck again with her sword. Azure didn't know what to say he just kept blocking her attacks "if you leave your not coming back your gonna forget us again" when she swung her sword Azure dropped his are and blocked it with his right arm and loud clunk like metal hitting wood echoed through out the night. Her sword was stuck in Azure arm it wasn't bleeding as the leather wrapped looking skin tore away revealing his wooden mechanical arm. Azure grabbed her and held her close letting her cry and punch him till she couldn't move anymore.

The next day Azure was packed he said good by to Sam and Aleyah but phoe wasn't around. Right before he boarded the Ship he could hear her calling him "Dad" she shouted as she ran and stopped before the huge man "promise me you will not forget us, promise me you will not become that man again." Azure promised and Phoenix took her dagger and cut a peice of her braided red hair and handed it to him before giving him a hug "I love you" she said. Azure waved goodbye and left on the ship after a long journey he arrived in runewick.

Azure sits outside of Galmair and starts to write in his journal.

well I am here and the rumors of gray are true. I need to talk to him confront him. Shite maybe even join him. My welcome here has been with distrust and hatred. Except by one young girl named Amelia she wants to be the third person that I truly trust. Reminds me of Aleyah. Bright hopeful and carrying. Sje warned me I shouldn't talk to gray that he is to far gone.

Azure closes his book before he heads out to search for Gray.

Later Azure writes in his journal again

well I found him. The talk didn't go like I wanted. The feeling of hatred had grown inside me. I was almost ready to join him to seek revenge on those that betrayed me. That turned my family against me. Then he showed me a vision of what he said would happen if I didn't join a vision of my family's house being engulfed in flames. This enraged me and allowed me to break free of his trap I almost escaped but was still filling the effect of that spell and well I met Cherga which she threw me back to the mortal realm.

I patched my self up being the stubborn fool turning help down from Deanna, Kathrina, and of course Saran telling me to cough blood some where else. Good to know she cares. Well I made my way to Galmair. And who sees me limping from the teleporter but Amelia. She stitches me up. And then gives me food and an offer to work for her and show The people I have changed. She asked me about the run in with Gray and I told her. Again I can't seem to lie to this girl. I had already told her that I used to worship Moshran. But she dint care about my past just what I do know. Just like Sam. But this one reminds me to much of Aleyah.

Well she get a letter and next thing I know im escorting her to runewick. Where she helped fooser who was injured. I had to knock him out felt good to be honest and hit him a second time just for good measure. Well I made the mistake of leaving Amelia thinking she would be safe as I helped carry fooser to runewicks hospital. When I returned one of grays men was attack I leaped forward swinging my axe but I was to late he sent Amelia to meet cherga. With rage I engaged this man. If it wasn't for that stupid ring he would have met cherga that day. Instead it was me twice in one day. I failed her.

After we got patched up. I wanted so much to go hunt them down and kill them. But Eli told me what she said. "Do not give into your rage thats and order." Yup just like aleyah. I stood watch over her sitting outside the hospital. Wasn't aware I had ripped the fake skin over my mechanical hand. So I just put a glove over it for now. I pulled out my book on Moshran and thought about whether I could use him to gain Strength but I thought of pheonix and put it back in my bag. I told her earlier she has become the third person I truly trust. But reality is she is so much like my sister. Thats why I get so angry when something happens to her and yet she able to calm me just like family.

Azure closes his journal before drifting to sleep

[Azure Lynch]

Azure moves and sits at the table in the Galmair training room. Je pulls out some freshly made mead and his journal and he begins to write.

well today was a simple start i got up removed my bandages the stitches looked good. I decided to do a bit of farming. It went pretty well a skill I learned back with my family. After I finished I gathered my tools and vegetables and grain and placed them in storage of the depot. I saw it was nearing that time to begin the training Amelia asked me to attend. So a group started to gather at the Galmair depot in the center of town. Exeleous was glad to hear that i turned down gray.. then I find my old panpie began to play a few notes the beauty that came out of those pipes surprised everyone. I wander what surprised them was it that a giant of a man has a gentle sideor was it an ex knight of Moshran could play something so beautiful.

Well then we trained i laughed when they stuck the biggest tallest man sparing with a halfling. But fergro was a well trained fighter. Then this man comes up hiding screaming some monster was coming to kill him. When he described what the creature was. And that all three realm leaders created this. So I like any rational creature was shocked that they realms leaders had a love child. Exeleous shouted abomination. This pissed me off so I d well we climbed down. Never thought I would be breaking in to prison. Well we cornered it and began out attack it wasn't until we heard percy screaming what we done. Je wanted everyone's name so he could report it. I said I was George of the riff raff. I was shocked that I was the only one to give out a fake name. Well why they get punished ill be laughing.

Later today I met Clairette again didn't know here name till now a nice elfess and smart. Well I decided to train her. She thought her self clumsy but wasn't not really just not ment to use a heavy sword. She says she uses dagger which then she was able to handel herself better. Whis is good once she gets the basics down we will soon be getting her a rapier which im sure she will love it.

Well let me get back to work

Azure closes the book and continues to farm his vegetables

[Azure Lynch]

After a long training session with Eleanor Azure sits in his spot over looking the mine entrance of Galmair. He pulls out his journal and begins to write

well that was interesting need to rember to keep food on me. I almost had him today. He said it was a draw cause he didn't want to keep wasting his equipment. That is funny. I showed him what true power is, he fought me with out his ring thinking he was stronger than me. All those times I was close to ending but the coward ran. So now I need something to counter his ring. Should I ask Moshran for the power. It is a risk never to sure if he would help.

Ran into Eleanor this day as well. Told her what happened with Val. We decidedto train and we carried on conversation on a few subjects. But one realization no two. The first she is a mysterious woman should have took the opportunity to get to know her better. Our talk about my familymade me realize the revenge I seek no longer exist and the only threat to them is Gray. At first I kept telling myself It wasn't my fight. Then he forced my hand I bow to no man and only one God was ever worth my worship. Years ago I failed him and I am now marked for it. I have one regret in my life. I guess I was fooling myself I was never going to stay out of this fight.

Azure closed his book and his gaze look in the direction of cadomyr though not able to see it his mark began to pound. Azure thought maybe its time I went to visit that place.

[Azure Lynch]

Azure sits in a cave near Galmair tired but has a smile on his face. He pulls out his journal and begins to write.

Well today was an interesting day, it started out like any other day. Did some farm work.
Ran into Clairette and Amelia. While Amelia and Eleanor where farming and a elfess I can't rember her name. After awhile of training with Clairette and she decided it was late and had ti rest me and Amelia when into town headed for the depot close to to kitchen. Where we ran into him. The other night i heard the story of Bidukan and wow he took justice into his own hand. I was upset that people still feel the need to burn people alive. I said a few words like Murder and criminal. Who would have thought someone has a temper that is faster to ignite than me. He wanted to challenge me to a fight. I was already mad at his words that he would bring justice. Not letting the law take it even if the man confessed. He is not judge and executioner he had no right to that. Well then his verbal abuse went toward Amelia a man that claims he has honor verbally attack a defenseless woman.

Well we went out to the fields He wanted a fight to the death and I was gonna ablidge him. Then the rest is a bit blurry I heard amelias voice whice had me to refuse a death match but iwas gonna fight. Then s'rrt showed up and interveneand my rage toward tthe man was gone as i heard Amelias voice again. I told him I was not gonna fight oh this made him enraged even more. I made a vow. Amd I will keep it not matter what.

Azure yawns thinking this is gonna be fun

[Azure Lynch]

Azure sits down in the fields of Galmair watches his crops as a cool breeze blows from down the mountains. He pulls out his journal.

well it has been awhile since I had time to write. Let's see first I was able to get the coin to move back to Galmair. That first night was a bit crazy. Bidukan still on occasion calls me a coward but the violence has stopped. Then that night the alarm sounded at the necktie and when we got there well there was two halflings. On almost got his head cut off. But I am glad I didn't do it. It was a strange night first there was a truth potio. Amelia took it and I took it. Questions were asked mostly about my past. But Amelia asked questions about the present. It helped ensure people where my mind and heart lay. Of course there will be rumors and gossip flying around.

We also had some people get stuck to each other and we all were turned into halflings. It felt weird being the smallest one there. But we eventually left the Inn. Me and Amelia walked back sharing a few words and she told me about her past and present. I can't explain what I feel towards her just that I need to please her. Well she went off to bed. I will tell her my past. I hope it doesn't change the way she sees me.

This night has gotten even stranger. A dwarf come running by screaming about Gray. I tried to convince him all will be fine. That didn't work . He wanted to die. He tried attacking me but that didn't work. Then he payed me to escorting end his life. I told him an outrageous amount and he came up with it in resources. Being a man of my word we went to the place he wished to leave this world. I tried to talk him out of it but he wanted to leave this world. So after he said his peace I sent him to meet cherga and let her make the final judgment. I felt bad for the guy but he paid for a service. And though I feel sad. I am glad he is at peace.

Azure looks to the moon and thinks to himself what a week. He closes his book and tends to his crops.

[Azure Lynch]

Azure lays on the fur he placed on the floor in the guard tower not able to sleep. he pulls out his journal and starts to write

Well the past few days have been actually good. I was able to get Amelia's Order done but wasn't able to get it to her then. She left with Oxi and Era but wasn't gone long. We talked for along while. about how she was handling her issues with Bidukan. She really cares for people and that is a rare quality only met one other person like that. My feelings for her is confusing. I care for her and want to make her happy. but then tonight. I don't know what came over me. we went to take in some air. and we talked about me not hunting down Valherian which I agreed. it would do more harm than good. she was stretching near the Battlement edge while sitting on a barrel when she lost balance. Luckily I was there to catch her hand and went to pull her in and she lost balance and fell into my arms. I looked at her and her beauty gleaming in the moon light. I was amazed but then we heard someone saying by. and didn't want rumors spreading. so we broke the embrace. I told her I was tired but it was only partial true so as we got ready to leave she joked about falling and catching her again and when she finished I grabbed her hand and kissed telling her I would always catch her. I don't know why but I don't regret it.

Azure closes the book and looks at the ceiling smiling before he pets the two wolf pups that curls with him. before drifting to sleep.

[Azure Lynch]

Azure wakes up smiling as he rembers the night. He sits up on the bench out infront of Amelia's room, pulling out his journal and begins to wright.

Today was unexpected but enjoyable. I met with Amelia, an elfess who's name I can't remember, Aly, Drathe. We talked a bit but they had to leave.
Shortly after that Lady Eleanor appeared. We all gathered around the campfire as Amelia told us riddles and offered some wine.

She also told us about what has had her scared. I told her that she has no reason to be afraid. Then I decided to tell her my past from the day I was born to the betrayal I did to Sam and then the redemption I sought.

Then surprise: Lady Eleanor let us ask her two questions a peice. I won't go into the details but it was a very enlightening moment. It lead to some embarrassing questions that had me and Amelia laughing. I think it made Eleanor a bit happy, as well.

Well Lady Eleanor left as it was getting late. And I laid back in the grass. And to my surprise, Amelia came and sat next to me. We talked about how peaceful the night was and she laid down looking up at the stars with me, which she said tp never really have done before. Her beauty in the night with the fire seemed to make her glow. I sat up and she sat up with me.

I told her how I felt. She told me how she felt. And that she was feeling guilty for it and worried, what people would think, and I understand that. We ended up holding hands by the campfire and it felt nice. But as one of her riddles.

Time has caught us and it was late. I escorted her back inside and she showed me where her flat was. Amazing: It was my very first flat, when I lived the first time in Galmair. We said good night and I waited till she closed the door. I attempted to head back up but was to tired and a bit tipsy. So, here I am writing to you, in this journal, on a bench outside the door of the woman I have fallen for.

Azure puts way his quill and journal and lays back down smiling, before drifting off to sleep.

[Azure Lynch]

Azure looks up at the stars and down to Amelia. he takes his cloak off and covers her. it was to late to travel back to Galmair so they rested here where they had their picnic. azure pulls out his journal and begins to write

Well to day was a great and knowledgeable day. When I woke I went to the fields saw Amelia, Lady Eleanor, and that Elfess her name still eludes me Starts with a M. then S'rrt and a woman that I haven't met. I helped Amelia clear the field of her grain and then she invited me to walk and talk. we ended up at her favorite spot where we are now.

She cooked my favorite dish Trout and had some juice and cookies. everything she cooked was delicious. we than began a game an honesty game were we each asked a question. we asked each other questions and learned a lot. I have decided to devote my self to Malachin. I know you would be happy about this. Then one question she asked I ended up flipping it on her asking the same thing her answer surprised me. and in the end I kissed her. You may ask why but the truth is I don't know it felt like the thing to do. she was looking lovely in her dress the way the moonlight hit her face. I just reached in and kissed her. well shortly after she laid down and wet to sleep next to me. We have decided to head to Cadomyr, where we will visit our perspective Gods and she has some work to do and I will work on my entry piece into the craft festival.

For the first time in a along time I am truly happy. Don't get me wrong I was always happy around you and your Mom but this is different. When you read this you should be old enough to understand what I mean.


Azure closes the journal and looks at the stars smiling before falling asleep

[Azure Lynch]

Azure sits on the bench in the gem pit, by the mana pool. Looking across from it to the flat that Amelia is sleeping in, he pulls out his journal and begins to write.

Hey little dragon, we had an unexpected visit from your mother. That I was a surprised, Sam showing up. But of course, in Galmair fashion fools act up and try to cause a scene. By the time you read this, you will know about Amelia though I hope you become friends. But people assumed we are lovers and tried to encourage me to get angry, or Sam. But neither of us did.

One, we are in a relationship but are not lovers. She is saving herself till she is married. Well because of this, me and your mother didn't talk; we did a bit but not like we wanted to. But we will. She decided to write a letter, well, to both of us. But one I read I don't know if I was supposed to. It was Amelia's but she dropped it, accidentally It was basically the same. Well, hers had more detailed of how your mother felt.

Amelia... we will have to make time to talk. Especially about my encounter with Bidukan. Bidukan, he still burns with anger towards me. I don't blame him; I used to be a knight of the fallen. He doesn't trust I can change. And Amelia and him used to be a couple. I don't know if he thinks she belongs to him like a trophy but she is free to make her mind up. Anyways we have agreed to a duel, but only is Oxiana approves. I will have to write him a later. This duel is not out of anger, at least not with me. I hope that he sees, I am not what or who he thinks I am. He doesn't know me and hasn't given himself the chance to. But win or lose, I hope it heals his heart and soul.

Well. time to get rest so I can send that dove in the morning. But on another note. I did burn that book, you wanted me too and I have decided to devote my self to Malachin. Like you suggested to do, years ago.

Azure closes his journal and sighs as he walks back to the bench in front of Amelia's room. he has positioned himself there to keep her safe, as he lays down and goes to sleep.

[Azure Lynch]

Azure sits down, overlooking the gate of Galmair. He lets out a big sigh and pulls out his journal and a quill and bottle of ink. Dipping his quill in the ink, he begins to write.

Sorry it has been a while since my last entry. There is a lot that ways heavy on my mind. This wanna be Jefferson Gray is being troublesome again, him and his dog Valherian. I wasn't there for this but I have heard the rumors that they kidnapped a man named Drathe, and after seeing Drathe anger at this feral female, who apparently is more beast than human, that was working for them. They seem to use her to lure their victims out of town. They tried again with Leon but he wasn't going anywhere. Then, this old fool Darius just walks up and then, for some strange reason, he leaves to go have a drink with Gray. We tell ourselves we tried to stop him. But we just asked him not to go. I could have done more; could have stopped him. Well, later that dog showed up, leaving behind Darius belongings but no body, so he could still be alive. I also found out, a dear friend of Amelia was attacked and is in the Runewick Hospital.

Azure stops as he hears the wolves are howling and the hogs a rutting as he dips his quill in the ink and continues to write.

However, I will not rush into a fight that would put me in danger. But on a lighter side of events. I have been staying out of trouble, even been doing some work for Bidukan. You know, the one that I told you about. I doubt we will ever be friends, but I hope that I can prove to him, I am not this monster I used to be. And no I haven't talked to him yet, but I will. Apparently, there is some training, he is hosting, I think I will attend.

Azure stops and looks to the moon and stars and smiles, before he continues. Seeing RJ at his feet he pulls out a piece of sausage from his bag and unwraps it from the clothe he kept it in to give it to him. "Now go and watch over Amelia as she sleeps" Azure tells him as the dog scurries off. Azure chuckles and begins to write some more.

The past couple of weeks was nice. Seeing you and helping you train was good. I know you're feeling hurt and I don't and wont pretend to understand what you are feeling. Like I asked before, I hope you give her a chance, but like we discussed, when you are ready. The other night was amazing. We stood close to her flat, just holding each other. I worry, my past would come back to hurt those I care about. But in that moment, there was no worry, just us, holding each other close. I truly care for Amelia and I worry what I would do, if something bad would happen to her, your mom, or you, my Little Dragon.

Azure sets down his journal, corks his ink, and puts everything back in his bag. He pulls out his panpipe and begins to blow a few beautiful notes.

[Azure Lynch]

Azure looks through the forest edge. where he can just make out the gate of Galmair. with a small torch as to not attract attention. He pulls out a small quill and begins to write. First on a peace of parchment he begins to write before he places that he places on a young hound neck collar. then pulls out a new Journal with the Initials AR inscribed on it.

I know it is hard my love, I sit here looking on to the city and wish i could be there to protect you. But all I can do is write in this Journal the journey that I am on incase something happens you know what my last thoughts were. Once i have destroyed all those that dare to threaten your happiness. I will return, though i fear you may have moved on with your life and i understand if you do. well this entry...........

Azure hurries and puts the journal away and quill and puts out the fire. Placing his helmet on and slowly drifts behind a tree. As three cloak figures appear seeing the smolder from the torch they draw there weapons looking around. Azure grabs one from behind as if he was just a shadow and slowly a quietly holds him high until his legs quit moving he then tosses the limp elf at the human. but before the human could react Azure blue light from his Sword was seen and in a flash the human looked at azure before it all went black. the other elf turned to run but Azure took out his hatchet and bedded it in the elfs' back. Azure took the bodies and searched them. they all had the same mark as him on there chest. He thought to himself "The Crimson Blood Claws" the group he used to lead back in the day. only those that sell their souls join this elite group. This just ensures his fears. He takes the bodies and buries them before he moves to a different location.
