Cirdu found me in Bree today! It was nice to see that he made it outa Moria okay. I bugged him about my challenge. He asked if I could read maps.. I kinda… can? Sorta kinda? I guess I mean.. I can figure it out, it just takes me a minute… He said that my challenge is dangerous.. and if I fail… I’ll either be.. dead or lost for a really long time.. but I don’t care!! I’m sick of bree-town, though I have met some really fun people these last few days.. I guess tomorrow will be my last day in town. I’ll write some goodbye letters tonight, and make sure I pack plenty of paper and ink to write while I’m away.
You know, I really did wanna give Cirdu a kiss… but we were in the middle of town! Like right in the middle of it! so...I was too shy.. Plus I kept in mind what Thorokor said about him having a daughter. Last thing I need is to have another crazy women trying to kill me, but I did give him a hug! Haha! and I patted his head before I ran to go pack. I inspected some poor bloke’s steed for my trip..I’m gonna leave Roach in town. He’s getting old, I’m not sure if he can handle another venture all the way outside Moria… maybe I can get one of my friends to look after him while I’m gone. But I’m definitely going to take Butters! Ha! That’s the Ram I … brought back from Moria.. I doubt they’d even remember that I took him! Hopefully not, would hate to run into Angry dwarves right at the start of my challenge.
I need to make sure I pack enough provisions for me, just me I suppose… Cirdu asked me to come alone. I guess it makes sense If I’m doing my challenge alone. I know Kyne will not like me traveling alone at all. Definitely not… especially what has happened to Dudon. But I’m much more sneaky then my brother! I’m sure I’ll be fine. Not sure… if I should be honest with her of where I’m going.. I know when I told her that Cirdu was in Gondor she was frightened that I’d go after him.. she thinks it is too dangerous there for me. We’ll see.. I’ll write her when I’m in Moria before I head out of the first gate. I don’t want her to try and stop me. Hopefully I wont lose my shoes, and I wont be gone for too long!
Hmm I wonder… what my challenge is exactly. How will he know I completed it? Hmm I guess I would write to him. I’m so siked! I can’t wait. Haha! I remember when I first met Cirdu, I was scared to leave bree-town… Now I can’t stand to be in bree-town! Him, and Thorokor have really sparked my wanderlust. I guess getting trained how to handle my blades better by Tarth really helped out a lot as well. Man, Martie doesn’t know what he’s missing!! Maybe one day he will.
Totally failed at pranking Martie today! Twice!! can you believe it! The first time, he was juggling, and I know from the previous day, he takes a bit of pride in his little tricks… So I didn’t wanna make him drop the things. I didn’t want to make him feel like a failure, or anything… so I was waiting and after he finished… he stepped away from the fence, that I was hiding behind. He was juust out of reach… and he didn’t come back. I was gonna pants him !! He had a little crowd in front of him, it would’ve been great! annnd I would’ve ran! Oh but it didn’t work out. One day, I will catch him in the most opportune moment!!
Then… some lady followed some psycho up on to a roof top… She was either a complete ditz or she did something to deserve it! I mean honestly I don’t know the full story here. How do we know that she didn’t like kill this crazy psycho’s kid or something.. or steal his vegetables.. though that woullld be a bit extreme to do for just some stolen vegetables… Anyway.. I watched from the stables roof. And, Yeah, I’ve climbed roofs before and I know god damn well if he carried her.. she wasn’t trying very hard to get away.. so … yeah whatever natural selection… Maybe I’m a bit cold… but I don’t care about people I don’t know… hahaha Ok I’m going to stop writing about this because I’m sounding like a bitch!
Back to my topic of Martie! The fun topic! None of that nonsense serious psycho killer mess!! My second prank kinda worked.. but it ended up backfiring on me ! Haha it was still all in good fun. He fell asleep in the haystack beside the pony… So I went and got a jar of Honey… and dripped it on his face. Brought a steed over and had it start licking him! It was great! Ha! then I hit the steed on the rear and I guess it running off woke him up.. and I didn’t realise it. and he grabbed me, and pulled me into the haystack with him! Oh Mister Martie Magpie!! How I’m gonna miss you and your pranks when I’m gone.
Well, I need to write some letters, garden, pack, so I can be ready for my adventure tomorrow! Hopefully I can see a few of my friends in town before I leave...
