I almost didn't even record anything for today as it was pretty much mostly just more travel led by the White Rasp.
But, I'm keeping this journal now as a record of my travels, so I need to keep in the habit of updating it.
Most of today was between playing my flute and being lost in thought. I didn't speak with anyone as I kept to myself in the corners of the cart. I guess I hope that writing some of this stuff down will get this out of my head.
I thought back to my time at the Academy. I never really paid much attention to the classes. They were all set by Eamon, my entire curriculum. I'm guessing he may have wanted to either mold me into some image of his perfect student or perfect pet, emphasizing my "abilities". I still don't know what, and I'm not sure I care. What's done is done. At least I was able to meet some people I was able to get along with, even if Eamon may not have approved of time spent away from study.
It also made me think about Rux, and the time we spent in the tower. I know she was a dragon, but she still felt like the sister I never really got to have. I'm glad she got out okay from under Eamon, though it was pretty lonely after she left. I guess I was also kind of jealous of her getting to escape. Enjoying freedom. Spreading her wings. Honestly it's only been until recently that I've felt trapped just like I'm sure she must have back then. Under responsibility. Expectations. Duty. Debt.
In hindsight after I wrote all of this I'm supposed to be writing about the present and not the past, so I'm going to stop here for today. I think we should arrive at the Rasp town by tomorrow.
