She writes well for a nine year old. The education system in the Nentir vale is clearly quite good.Dear Diary,Oh, but it was nice to bathe today! Derren may not notice he wears weeks worth of dirt but travelling with only the barest of necessities has left me feeling...what exactly?...I would say saddle sore, but we travelled by ship, so I'm not sure what that's called.Such a strange feeling walking upon land again after so long on the boats. Alas, but I am becoming used to 'strange feelings'...I do so wish to know what is happening with me. Derren, of all the family, seems unphased by the strange changes taking place. That, as you know 'dear diary' is why I so wickedly forced my company upon him; I could no longer bear the way Mama looked at me.I do miss her though, mama I mean. Derren is sweet and protective but I'm shy to ask him about 'the change'. There is another woman travelling with us, but like the rest of our companions she mostly ignores me; she's already made it clear that I am a burden. Belladonna, such a name! and such a woman, like a heroine straight out of the novels but pretty enough to be the princess.Bjorn is another who's made it clear that I am most unwelcome...Oh, Derren, I'm so sorry again to have put you in this uncomfortable position!...If Belladonna is the princess then surely Bjorn is the villain. He likes women much as he likes drink...cheap and in quantity. Derren thinks I don't understand but I understand only too well...Bjorn is a wicked, dirty man.Torfinn on the other hand is just dreamy. I have never seen such a man as he. It is quite the story I find myself in 'dear diary'; we've a princess, a villain and a dashing prince from exotic lands. Why, he even seems to glow; its scary, but beautiful at the same time.I don't really know how Derren and I fit into this story taking shape around us...of course Derren talks so much, he must be the narrator...haha! Poor, poor Derren. So proud and ever the 'noble' , despite his many times mended clothing and tattered boots. What is in a name anyway, we were happy and so much the richer for it.Surely I'm no great player. Adventures like this aren't meant for 9 year old girls, I don't feel grown up even if my 'womanly cycles' have started. Mama says its best to be seen and not heard, and she's half right...that is to say I think now its best if I'm neither seen nor heard.Alright 'dear diary', its time to go...I'm so excited!! Derren is taking me to a BAR !!</blockquote>
