Winds that fan a flickering Flame.

I recall being small. 

Such a thing seems foreign to me now, seeing those that come about that are in a position that I myself can barely even entirely remember.

It all seems so fleeting, to come to the realization that I am now what I am, a supposed pillar.

Something for those around me to see and feel strength, comfort, safety and more so content.

I still even now, contemplate day to day how we will exist in this world with those of Mankind.

Are we simply here to exist and die for their gain? Do we have no better purpose...

Are we simply here to be their pets and adhere to their goals with none of our own? Do we have no better purpose...

Are we simply mindless entities that roam around with no depth except, see, attack, repeat...? Do we have no better purpose...

Why is it I feel we can be something... yet, there is nothing there for us aside our own embedded nature.

Perhaps I am too different. Perhaps I think too much for our own kind's benefit. Am I fit to even be their guidance...

Can I even guide my own path?

So many questions, so many answers... I bet, no... I wonder, does anyone know what actually goes on within my mind when they walk by me... or do they simply see a brainless beast awaiting it's death.

For all that I seek to be, or seek to embody. The one thing in my entire existence that I wish to do...

Is cherish all the memories I've come to have. I do not wish to replace these, I seek to add more. I am a free sentient creature...

Even now, surrounded by my kin. I am, or always will forever be alone.

A paper written, as difficult as it was... will fade into the darkness of night. Perhaps if someone reads this. They will truly come to understand, we're more than just Beasts. We can perhaps even if just this, be a friend to them. Is this too much to request?

I've spoken with so many of them now... Human, Beastkin, Demi-God and more.

They think, like we do. They eat, like we do. They sleep, like we do.

Yet we're so drastically different.

They've been around this realm far longer than any of us have been thus far. They've achieved such greatness that we can barely even seem to comprehend.

Artificing... Such a wonderous thing, to create... a wide expanse of genuine possibilities through various methods. My favorite thus far that Kuro, has taught me is... Runewriting I believe?

This, Riftmancy or Wayfinding as they call it... shows such great use. To move through a portal from one point to another in such a quick matter of time. Yet, I'm unsure if I would truly like this.. I enjoy exercising my wings more so I believe. Learning about it however is interesting.

One of my kin seeks to become a Medical Official. I can only hope she achieves this. Her efforts and pursuit in such a field will do great wonders for us as Beasts. Slowly, but surely we stride alongside them in hopes to be something more.

My kin, the smaller ones... they have grown a plenty. Seeking to fight amongst themselves rather than harm those of Mankind to some degree, I find this a better alternative. To see those of Mankind do what they had done to Dimlet, I feel can not be repeated. I don't like the feeling of death. I've saved far too many of Mankind to know even as much as I speak it. I will perhaps never kill one of them. To take life, rather than give it the chance to be more... I may as well be a hypocrite.

To Camino de Caewynn, I feel as though our talk was perhaps the best. You've shown me first, what a potential friendship can harbor. I thank you.

To Mikoto Shinjitsu, you're a very strange Demi-God. You surround yourself with people whom would so quickly die for you... yet you put yourself at the forefront of every issue for your people without hesitation. By far one of the pillars of guidance I seek to speak with. We've done so already and have come to a potential friendship. I thank you.

Oracle of Aphros, Ysayl Dul Vique your name is perhaps the most unique of those whom lead... It's meaning I wish to inquire about the next time I see you. A wonderous individual, that holds so much depth to her person. A conversation with you will perhaps bring the insight of endless possibilities should you let it. I cannot call you friend, but I hope the prospect is not foreign to you, as it is I. I thank you.

King of Serenity, Rued Silvanas. Your people, your family seem to be such a strong point of what I've seen in my visit. I cannot see a place that thrives off of such happiness more so. I look forward to another visit and talk. You're a kind one. You rather avoid conflict and focus on what is important to your people rather than your own well being. A true Leader that is paving the way for his own. I can only admire such a thing even as a Beast. I thank you.

To Asher Kasca, it's hard to believe that someone with such a kind heart exists in the world. I could not sense a single negative aspect to your being. Perhaps a trait of your divinity. Or perhaps simply that you harbor the care for all that exists in this world as if it's guardian. You're a beacon to many within your city and perhaps outside it. Become a true symbol of light that it seems you yourself even unknowingly embody. Perhaps when this day comes, I can look upon this Light... and say with certainty. I am glad you're willing to see that we are people and not simply beasts. I thank you.

To those, whom I have not met. To those whom I have. Our talks, or fights... have given me the path to grow to become something more. I thank you.

I believe it's time  to say I've gotten better at... writing. It's quite difficult even now given my overall structure. Yet I make do. I hope whomever reads this perhaps shows it to those mentioned. I cannot do this myself. They're all quite busy and I respect their time to do that which much be done given it does not affect our freedom. Outside of this... I thank you.
