July 2 (early morning)
This morning just isn't the morning, and no friendly banter was going to make it any better, I just wasn't in the mood for it. So the Gargoyle in the mage shop waiting on me, as I am trying to just buy the ingredients I need for healing the wounds of my Dragon, was truly annoying me with his banter. Looking at the tall thing standing before me towering over my short self, all I could think was * Id like to throat punch his smart self* . Sizing him up the wheels in my head are turning and I think I can take him down. Then my logic kicks in and I know this isn't going to get me anywhere but *Man Id sure like to* The night prior had been a rough one, The void demons had gotten thick near the city and thinning it out was rough but its somewhat better this morning, annoying pests. Like cock roaches they just seem to over take the land before you realize it then it takes forever to get rid of them. If that wasn't enough, message came this morning from Dagar Island that there was a plague of undead terrorizing the people there. * tapping my foot as I still await my bag of stuff from the mage shop and this Gargoyle AND if this Gargoyle has one more dumb joke before he hands me my supplies I swear my logic is going to wear off. Drogon needs this for the wounds he got from the void demons last night so I suppose he should take this next mission off and can take Nauli, she has been restless and probably feels like I do, poor girl needs to get out and just unleash some built up aggression, what better to do that on then the Undead !

July 11
Guests at the Guild Hall was quite an interesting evening last night. DragonStone guards can make a mess but at least they all seem to get along.sassy mouths and escalating ego’s were quite a show. Not sure who the new female gargoyle was but she seemed to have quite the attitude with most of the humans in the room, knowing she was slightly rude and pushy it was still hard not to understand her concerns of the humans. After all we are the visitors in her lands , even though I to live here now. Then the locals bouncing in trying to start a ruckus with visitors was a slight bit humorous. However after so long I have duties and patrol so staying the entire evening was not an option for me. So I guess after I left the old drama of the moles, this is just something beyond what I understand , I wasn’t raised in Britannia and I know just a lil of their past, but their past is exactly that, their past so I can’t understand this hatred for drow. So much of Britannia I do not understand, it’s so much easier to just live among the gargoyles and the dragons like it here. I do fear the future will be more chaotic here, the more the Britannia people come what could be next.
August 20
The Summer has past me by, little can I recall of all that has taken place. Tension at DragonStone has grown drastically Jaxx has been missing and this new Gargoyle, Demona, has the clan men in an uproar. She seems to approve of us and I have not decided yet how I feel about her but the rest of the clan seem to like her, then of coarse theres the matter of my Mother, Aleera, who is completely off the hinge at this point, and she seems to just egg on the Gargoyle to dislike the outsiders. I try to listen in on whats said at the hall but all seem to become quiet when I come in. I have over heard them speak of an attack in the Abyss by one of the outsiders. Of coarse My Mother hushed them up before i could hear much more. Where is Jaden, I could use her advise and support right now, I haven't seen her in some time, as if she is avoiding me.
I have lost track of what day it is, I do know it's sometime toward the beginning of September, its dark here and the candle light provides barely enough light to write by, yet here I begin. My last entry I had wondered if Jaden was avoiding me, looks as if she had been. The man who produced me, clearing his conscience as being my father must have thought telling me would just automatically form some new family bond between us. The fact Jaden is my Sister isn't a horrid idea but she could have told me sooner. Aleera though, she is one who I am uncertain I can ever forgive, she knew the whole time and never told me, was to worried about making excuses for leaving me with the undead Queen and her minions. The man who still holds my respect and love is my true Father, maybe not the man who created me but the man who turned me into the person I am. I am Jukari !
My blood may not be true to the people but my heart is ever much so, I am a Jukari. Yet I have become a Dragon Mistress my heart is with these people as well, my blood runs through my veins as a true Dragon Clan but my heart will always be with the Jukari. So where do I really belong?
There will be a price to pay, to one of them, from the time of my birth !
Desire for vengeance has tarnished my soul, lurking in the shadows inside Deceit I have studied the Undead , plotting how I would strike out at the Undead Queen. Lack of food and Sunshine has finally driven me outside and at this point I know its either kill something for food and start a fire or return to DragonStone and deal with what eventually I will have to deal with. More family and more truth about the secrets of my past, it would have been easy enough to just return to Eodan but there I would be found and forced into the time of finding out all of my past, this way I chose when and how I learn of my past and be able to kill the one who caused all this. Then again maybe I should be thankful for giving me the Jukari as my family. At that very moment is when I heard the screech, a sound I all to well knew. It was Raghara as he circling over the entrance to Deceit. A quick smile overcame me as my arm went up and he landed on it. " She brought you to this Island , didn"t she?" as I softly stroke the feathers of the cooing bird. " I am so happy to see you" as all the built up anger fades into nothing more and the owl seems to calm the raging inside of me. I was given a new destiny the moment I was born, with that destiny I was shown how to survive and not be pampered and spoiled. Now I am being shown what my life could have been, yet given the chance to have it all in my life. With all this knowledge and backing I can build an Army to defeat the Undead !
(unknown Date)
Many days had past since Raghara had found me, held up within the caves near the Dungeon Entrance we had stayed as I contemplated my return to DragonStone. This particular morning Raghara took flight as I jumped " Raghara waittt....", to late the bird had gone. I had ran to the cave entrance and noticed he was headed straight back the direction of the Castle. Now I knew this was the day for my return, glancing at the camp fire and the tasty rabbit cooking I decided to finish the meal cooking then gather up and go back.
Just as I had finished my morning breakfast of BBQ Bunny I heard the sound of the owl as he had returned. Flying into the cave he landed quite near me, squawking and flapping his wings. Something was amiss, he had never acted this way. As a pang struck me I knew something horrible was wrong. Kicking dirt over the flames I stifled the fire. Returning to DragonStone would have to wait, somethign as wrong at the Castle and it was there I headed.
Arriving at the Castle the doors were standing open, I looked inside, hollered out a Hello, with no reply. I had seen foot prints headed to behind the castle so I turned around and followed them. There I could see the image of two women, and flowers on the snow all around them. The pang I had felt earlier just seemed to worsen as I got near. I could tell it was Jaden and the cook Turner. Both sobbing, what was going on. As I yelled to them a hello, Jaden turned and saw me. Running straight to me tears running down her face, as she got to me a very tight hug and I heard the words I had not expected to hear. As she barely spoke the words so softly, " I\m so happy to see you, I was so afraid something had happened and I am so sorry we upset you, but, She is dead, Ann died..." and the tears and her emotions flooded her and no more was able to be said. I stood there, my heart ached this Gargoyle had been so good to me, this is who had inspired me to move to Ter Mur this was who took care of everything when I was gone. I had loved her. One single tear rolled down my cheek, then I inhaled sharply, tightened my lips and couldn't speak a word. My heart felt like it would just beat out of my chest at that very moment.
Jaden was a wreck and Raghara must have known something was wrong and came here, then returned to warn me. Right here I felt it, I felt the bond of a sister. We may have had different Mothers, Jadens kind and caring and My Mother cold and calculating, yet we shared the same Father, strong, loyal to his people (perhaps not to his wife) and dedicated. Leaving me in a land found by people true to their land, who fought injustice and stood their ground. My life had hardened me, I knew I had to stay strong. There was no time right now for my emotions to show, it was I who had to take charge and prepare arrangements for the burial of my dear friend. I knew she was much more then a friend to Jaden she was like her family. She too knew the feeling of someone who felt like family yet did not share the same blood.

Jan. 29,
Seems an eternity since I have sat at this desk with this book, where shall I begin. Friendships betrayed, family clawing for all they can get from me and a trip to an entirely different world and back. All I have to say about that is The Worm hole they spoke of in the world Atlantic exists and don't get caught up in the wrath of those Gods. But I am home, I am also with people who love me and some who do not but all in all I am glad to be home. I do wonder if I should warn people I believe there is a worm hole in the seas near Minoc, and from what I understand the Governor worry's of ship trade in the shallows waters there, probably earth what has been up rooted making the waters shallow near the city. What else explains being caught in a bubble under the sea as i try to travel from the other world back to this one or was it all just a dream .....this now matters not, I am home and DragonStone thrives. Yet I must be the only one of our people who senses the Dragons restlessness and I haven't even seen Drogan yet, where can he be. I sense he is building an empire, an empire of Dragons. So from this cold fortress I will test these senses and see how close I can get to finding him....

May 2019 Spring I have been hid away from the public for months guarding the hatching of the new additions to the family 4 eggs and now they have emerged from the eggs. The guild is growing and the eggs of the most dominate of the dragons were to go to the elders of the Dragon Clan , Devlin, Dabz, Blas, and Telchar already had their Dragons these new hatchlings will be for the newest of the clan Elizabeth , Tish, Greenie and Natalie. Ter Mur has been good to the clan, and the fortress in the old lands of Dagger Island had been good for shelter for the parts of the clan who secured the island from the Undead Queen and her minions within the mountain range there while others of the clan watched over my adopted family the Jukari at the foot of the great volcano and guarding Shadowguard inhabitants from coming into the village. All was well ranks had increased so distributing them between the two places was now easy. Jadens trade business seemed to be helping by bringing more food and supplies to the clan and AnnaBeth escorted the shipments and had reported what pirates on the seas were being dealt with by her and the ship crews.Yet I wanted more and with news of an enchantress ( a Voodoo Witch) a curse could plague the lands and possibly open up new opportunities With the citizens of Britainia plagued and under a curse
The many months hidden away, was time to do some reading. Reading of books that probably needed read alone away from the knowledge of others at what I was reading. the magic I had been reading about seemed dark and was not favored to speak of. Yet I wanted to know more, it seemed only right, the child hidden away by the Undead Queen should know about Necromancy and who knows maybe she was who My name was formed after, Daenyra / Neira, ending of my name sounds like it. So from rumors I hear deep into the swamps is where I need to go to find one to teach me such magic's.....so it shall be, I will gather a party to help me make my way into the Swamps !
June, (After Election)
The attempt was lost but the support of the people around me had been amazing and had fueled me to move on without a seat as Governor, after all, all I had wanted was a place close to the King to acquire a taglock, but there were many servants in that King's Castle and many who sat near him, just one stray hair or piece of dandruff would be totally enough to begin the curse, and now I myself did not even have to be present near the King it could all be done through a third party, without them even knowing. My knowledge of magic had served many Occasions and this time I would practice the magic of Incognito. I could show up anywhere as anyone I chose to be.
The Sadness of watching as My older sister mourn our Father's Death had pushed me even further into this vengeance emotion. All those who had ever wronged our family should pay and this Monarchy needed to Fall ! This should be a land we are all equal not ruled by some robotic man who did with the Kingdom as he wished. I had not attended our Fathers Funeral, I could not bear to see my Sister weep, many times I had been upset with her, but always in the end it came to the fact I loved her. Regardless the secrets she had kept from me or anything. She was my Sister and had done so very much for me, regardless our arguments I loved her. I had learned so much since my arrival to this land, the most important lessons I learned were the Bonds and Loyalty of Family. No matter how bad things would get, in the end Family was always who prevailed. Who are we? We are family......What are we? We are Dragons !

Winter, Dec 16 (2019)
It has been quite some time since I felt the need to write in this book, the book my Sister had given me, my last entry was so strong of my Family. No family have been around me since, well with the exception of my Niece Annabeth, who was closer to my own age then my Sisters, well half sisters. On occasion I had seen Sophia stumble in but she seemed to mostly remain in that room by the stables, she was a quiet one, she seemed close to AnnaBeth but to me she was just polite and that was about the extent of that.
The party had been a success many showed up and with quite the thirst, the kegs I had concocted were now empty. I wonder how many bottles that feathered hat man stashed in his pack, he did boast about stealing the silverware. Anyway all things are now set in motion *sitting back staring at the page in the book* My thoughts the last many months had been all about betrayal, abandonment, and just an outright empty feeling. Jaden had disappeared after our Fathers death, there had been reports of sightings of her, but I myself had not seen her, leaving me feeling betrayed and abandoned. I am adult I have decided that as of this morning I will adult. As if that was even a thing to do ! Perhaps instead of me feeling sorry for myself I shall look for her and in the meantime I have a few tricks up my sleeve. One of which came to me from AnnaBeth this evening, a book titled " A Welcome" written by Blackthorn himself, I just wonder how many have read this book, I have never seen it in a Library, from what I am reading, he wants to eliminate humanity as we know it, and something about mechanical things....

Before I Write In My Diary
*Pacing the floor debating what to write in my Diary* , "A New Beginning", one would look upon as good perhaps, with what I have done I am not sure good would be the words to embrace the outcome of my recent actions. Yet this would be a New Beginning, good or bad it is the beginning of SOMETHING! Soon they will see and soon things will change, in my eyes yes for the good but is it good? Questioning Myself, I wonder at what point did I begin to talk to myself. As I began to mumble to myself, frustration began. The pacing hardened as My Tiny feet seemed to feel like hammers pounding into the stone floor, wearing a path into the stone. I just couldn't stop, I couldn't sit down right now and if I write what's on my mind Tonight that would be evidence of the deed done but writing it out could be like therapy for my troubled mind. Whoa is Me. Not only talking to myself now speaking my emotions, am I going insane, after all my Mother did. The curse Neira cast on my Mother, had I too inherited it? My Mother balanced on good and evil, I believe hers was more of deception. She thrived on deception. The Grand Hall in the Castle was dark and gloomy this eve, never so quiet as tonight. As I turned on my pacing and facing the bar , I quickly made way to the crates stacked behind the bar, fumbling open the lid of the top crate, I dig through the straw nestled around the bottles protecting them from breakage, the green bottle was now visible, taking hold of the bottle hastily pulling the bottle from the crate. Holding it up eye level I smile and lower it knocking the cork from the top against the edge of the bar counter. Tipping the mouth of the bottle to my lips I guzzle it half down. Licking my lips and wiping my arm across them to dry the brew dripping from them. Taking a deep breath, My anxiety was beginning to lessen. Bottle in one hand and Hovering the empty hand in front of me I look down and the trembling was easing, the hand now wasn't shaking as bad as before. This was not going to be secret long, in a few days suspicion would begin, and I would be clearly the one to blame. At least no one is dead ......maybe a tad bit confused but nobody dead, that's a good thing right? Shaking my head, I know not to answer myself. Or do I? Either way the Deed is done, A slight chuckle escaped my mouth with the thoughts of what I had just done. The liquid kush beggining to work its magic on me now, I wobble to the fancy seats I had made and brought to the castle , in front of the fire in the room. Sinking into the plush softness if the seats I feel like I am melting into the seat, staring at the leather bound diary laying on the table in front of me, reaching out grasping the book I draw it near me, turning to the table beside me I pick up the pen and here goes.........

(Weeks before Christmas to catch up) Going backwards
Somethings you just can not find words for, seeing them written here might possibly jiggle my conscience and turn me around, then again maybe I am just pure evil hidden behind the appearance of a Cupcake. When it happened I could not make myself write it down, doing so meant evidence, but nobody was totally harmed just a lil mixed up maybe but I feel good and maybe I want more. The appearance of Witches and VooDoo and alot of Hocus Pocus has been all around us, so it wasn't hard to find someone to help with what needed done. The results however have been a lil disturbing. A few memories altared was not to bad, but now things are changing on Moonglow, the good things the last Governor had done are fading, (kinda like her memory) she still remembers most things , and I do feel bad but she wasn't harmed in any physical way so that was accomplished in what I had asked for. I however did not ask for the Lighthouse to fade away, what is happening? Strange objects are being reported in strange places so a little more hocus pocus has to be done to wipe out more memories. Things are becoming a little bit outta control. I have to get a grip on matters before outsiders from Moonglow find out.
(OCC Yes there are Lighthouses that were placed , or shall i say some replaced and others placed are disappearing , not sure why so I will use this for part of my events and later ask the new EM team or Mesassana if they can be fixed, that is unless its DUMB)

The shipment from Moonglow to DragonStone went well, the few that arrived with the shipment looked somewhat stoned and the Gargoyle did do some crazy crap, like flying around the room naked, but most of that was probably inhaling whatever that Thing on Moonglow is doing. The spray that shoots out from that smoke stack, shooting through the roof of that building is poluting the air around the building and the trees are starting to look droopy, *thinking* Wonder what that could do to the Yew trees? Hmm perhaps something to test out. That curse I had done to the Last Governor might have started a series of horrible events.....and I need to try to keeping people from nosing around

March 8 (2020)
Tossing and turning I liked to have never gotten to sleep last night. The words from Chanticleer kept running through my mind. Several had spoke about the slavery on Nujelm, that I had assumed was just hear say but when Chanticleer confirmed the living conditions and slavery, he might be annoying to me at times but I had known him since I came to this country and regardless if we did or did not see eye to eye I had enough respect for him to know he would not lie about that, now if it was a matter of pride and humility as virtues maybe a tad off on that but he would not lie about this, yet he wasn’t for an invasion, perhaps it wasn’t as bad as they all said. I will make preparations to sail there later today, they see me there shopping from time to time so it won’t look funny that I am wandering around there.

Tomorrow is My Mothers Birthday, what a grand surprise, the bitter cold of my Home Land blows across all of Britainia to bring her here and little do the people of Britainia realize I've sent many DragonStone Dragons to help attack the cities and fight against the Kingdom and that Wretched King, and I will not serve a Monarch, I will fight for Dagar Island to be a Country of its OWN !!!! But I shall stay in the shadows for now but the cold wind calls my Family Home !!! Possibly blowing a Plague upon the mainland

May 2 (Spring but not at DragonStone)
Its early May but it wasn't like most peoples Typical Spring, there never seemed to be a Spring on Dagar Island, just always snow and bitter cold. The settlement of Dragons and Traders, even a few Sea Fellows were an occasional sight around the settlement we call "Bay of Dragons". A lighthouse had been built just North of DragonStone Castle and the Dragons now had a Hoard or Den within the settlement Treasures of all kinds can be found inside the Dragons Nest. Little have I left the island as of late and very few friends sent messages of the mainlands or the Kingdom (the Plush parts of the Realm).
After a recent shipping trades deal In Moonglow I noticed my Nieces Dragon was not about, but a Wisp hovered at the Governor Office, Closer I got to the thing, it tried to convey something to me, listening closer I could tell it was some spirit calling to me, a spirit I knew, it was Medici....
Conveniently time was near for a Governor meeting with the King, of course I went and of coarse I must have eaten at the patience of one of the Governors, something I had grown used to being (a pain in the b..ottom)
Mothers Day was approaching and still at odds with my own Mother and what I believe she was I was ready to call the Undead Among us out !

Sept 25, 2022
The Shadows are my home now for several years. Not many may see my presence, but I am there. I have my little birds who report the goings on of Britaiania. For once I am at peace of my sisters and support them in many ways, they might not notice but I am there. I notice a lot more then I want to admit. Jaden might have that despicable Pirate Suka on hold right now, but I'll never forget her burning Britain Bridges upon my sister's election to the Governor seat.....her time will come. After all I am close friends with the Fens Witch a great alliance to my cause.
