Dear Diary,
Today mission accomplished, but it was in a weird way. I'm surprised it actually worked. Today there was nothing for me to do as in "Royal Business," so I snuck around the castle all day getting supplies to get myself ready to run away tonight and of course I took my diary with me. The only thing in the evening that I was missing was a sword from the armory. I waited till everyone else was asleep for that, and snuck into the armory and grabbed one of the many long swords my father owned, but little did I know not everyone was asleep, and when I came out of the armory Prince Duro was standing there.
Duro: "What the hell are you doing? Don't you want peace between our villages?"
Me: "Yes I do want peace, but I can't risk my own happiness for it; I'm running away."
Duro: "Not if I can help it."
Me: "Duro, if you really cared about me, you would let me go."
He was silent.
Duro: "Your right, you better go. I already called guards to come here earlier. I will stall them the best I can... Oh and Jennifer?"
Me: "What?"
Duro: "Be careful. The world is way different being on the other side of the food chain."
Me: "Don't worry I will."
I then left him and snuck out of the castle and ran into the forest. I looked back at the castle and noticed guards were leaving the castle. Probably to search for me. Apparently the prince is not good at stalling, or he just can't let me go. I ran further into the forest and to the house that the elf that the Mystery Man told me about lived. I went up to the small house and knocked on the door. The guy opened the door.
"Oh Princess Jennifer! I thought you weren't coming since it is now MIDNIGHT!!
Me: "So I guess you know me; I'm sorry I'm late, I ran into the prince and we don't have much time before the guards might come here. What's your name anyway."
"Oh Where are my manners, my name is Rook. Now hurry come inside and let me try to open a portal, I will warn you I haven't really done this before."
Me: "I don't care, just open up a portal to a far away village, and I'm good."
Rook: "Okay. I will try to send you to Summerton then. It's a lovely place I know a friend there he is an elf too. He is a really nice guy..."
Me: "Okay, just send me there, and soon for any minute the soldiers for the castle are going to come knocking at your door wondering if you have seen me, so hurry!"
He opened a portal.
Rook: "Hey! It worked. You better go on through then."
Me: "Thank you. I owe you alot."
I jumped through the portal and landed on an elf.
"You better keep running! Unless you think you can stand a chance against those two!!!"
I looked back and saw to big creatures with weapons. I got up and started to run with him. then we ran into a chamber with that had another elf, a half-elf, an orc, and two half-dragons. they helped us fight off the monster. After the battle the elf in the group, Arnold, no wait that can't be right. Oh ya, it is Aridel, came up to me.
Aridel: "Where did you come from? How did you get into the castle?"
I think the portal did something to my head or something because I didn't know who I was until I looked back in my journal tonight. Somehow it jogged my memory.
Me: "I don't know, and I don't know how I got into the dungeon. I just ran into the other elf and started running with him, in fear."
Then Aridel went over to the other elf and asked him the same question. I don't know much about him yet but by the way he acts he seems like the stupid one of the group. Even more stupid than the orc, Thrall. The half dragons seem to pick on those two alot. I decided to stick with them I think they can help me out of the castle. I guess it might be fate that Rook messed up on the location, and I lost my memory for a little bit. I got some cool new friends. I think it is better they don't know I ran away from my family and that I am princess of Armonia, and I don't think I will ever tell them, besides I don't know how they will react. Well I need to get some sleep, big day ahead of me tomorrow. Goodnight.
Jen
