Melodies for the Stars

[Soba]

Inside a calm, silent room, a young girl writes into her journal. Silent scribbles gently resonating through the air as moonlight leaks through the windows. Peace and silence. If not just for a moment. As she writes her feelings, woes, and worries amongst the pages.

Hi! Hello? I got this journal as a birthday present today! So i might as well put it to some use, right?  I'll be honest in saying I'm not exactly sure how to begin writing in a journal. It's a little bit of a new experience for me. I was told to write into one so i can keep track of things. But keep track of what you may ask? Or...i may ask. Well, i wasn't sure what to do with this at first, since i'm not much of a writer. But after much deliberation, i have come to the conclusion that it'll help me with my studies if i do write in it! Father taught me that word. 'Deliberation'. Did i spell it right? Anyway. i cannot help but admit this is quite the relaxing and engaging activity! It'd odd. Everything seems so quiet now that my siblings are sleeping. Normally, i try my best to engage in practicing one of my instruments during times like these. But it seems tonight seems to be a night where i try something different! I don't want to waste my birthday present, after all. Even if all i got was a journal, some socks, and a...comb? I would not want to waste such kindness by throwing them away! Though, i'm still not sure what the comb is for. Nevertheless, i'd like a place where i can write notes regarding my studies on the stars. A place to write my melodies will also suffice so i figure that i put this new journal to use! I'm starting to feel as if being the eldest sibling in this family makes it so i get less presents than some of the others. But that is okay! It is not good to get envious or jealous, after all! That's what mother always says.

Where do i even begin with this? Do i write about myself? I guess...i can introduce myself. Introduce myself to myself? No, no...that doesn't make sense now does it? But what if someone reads this? Oh, that would be embrassing! I don't want that. Especially since it's hard enough to talk to others already. It's fine, i can perhaps look at this for future reference if i introduce myself to someone else i don't know! Right? Anyway, my name is Cordelia Gardios. I am twelve years old. (I turned twelve today!) I like music, crepes, and stuffed animals. The latter i keep a secret, of course. I also love studying the Stars. It seems all cosmic magi love doing that though, don't they? So i guess that's not very much a surprise. I haven't figured out the process to attaching myself to a star yet, though. I've been told that i have potent 'mana circuits'. Whatever that means! So i guess it's possible for me to use cosmic magic like mother? Or maybe it will be water like father? I don't know really. Mother had told me many times just how special i am for being 'blessed by Leonaus'. She flicks my ears when she says that. Like being half-Felinae has something to do with that. But i don't care about magic. I just like the stars because they're pretty. Too many people use magic to hurt people. If i am able to use it, i want to use it to help others! Not hurt them. I don't get that. Why do people just hurt each other and be bad to each other? There are so many wars that happen all the time where i live. And no matter how many times i ask about it, i just don't get it. Oh! I'm rambling aren't i? I'm sorry. Oh, i shouldn't apologize i'm talking to myself! Okay, i have to get ready for class tomorrow. Now that i'm twelve that means it's time for me to start going to school! It's going to be fun, right? I hope it's fun..

Well goodbye! (I don't know how to end an entry yet!)
