The Origin Festival

by King Martin Leongling

A triumph, despite my misgivings! And a another blow against Lui Bei and his ilk who seek to divide this realm (or at least further their own gains). I can hardly contain my own excitement with the whole day! And Jen, what luck. I hardly expected what was to happen but now I have I... I struggle to even find the words. It is clear to see, I think, that my mood is light! Only the arrival of the Otherking could ruin it. It is soured of course, that I must leave Jen... but she understands her duty, as do I, and I can only hope we can reunite under a victorious flag.
 
And credit to my companions; not for their competition wins, though those were splendid, but for their growth in character. Caerbhall is growing everyday into an animal to be proud of; it is a far cry from the time when I held misgivings against him joining the Company. In fact we are slowly becoming, dare I say it, friends? At least I feel I know him better, and at times even seek his company for a game of Fhess or a cup of tea.
 
Takuma is not there yet, but he shall be closer once he sees my gift. Caerbhall is finding his purpose; needs must I turn my attention towards Takuma. He needs to feel valued, of which he is, greatly. But I won't be shy in reminding him of this. And hopefully a certain something can remind him of his destiny and his ability to do great things. That something I shall keep to myself, in fears he reads this before the arrival. He's a changed man though. No longer will I fear he will betray us. His words, whilst sharp, carry a certain warmth to them. I doubt he even realises this himself but it's true.
 
Now we pack our bags and head towards the Tomb of the Leonglings. Where my father met my mother... I sense great things are comong about. Something horrifying, and exciting, in equal measure. I throw Palatine across my back and tighten my sword belt, eager to continue my journey. I hope this feeling of hope and optimism remains true in the coming days.
