*read from an old beat up diary with some pages torn from it and others that are so covered in blood, sweat and or tears that the words are illegible.*
-day 1-
I decided to start a diary today! I don’t know why but it seems like a really fun thing to do. My daddy bought it for me on my last birthday so I thought I should put it to use *a drawing of a smiley face * Today was a fun day, Daddy took me and my friends to the city. We had a lot of fun playing with the other kids and making fun of people at the bank. They are always so serious! Always buying or selling things, seems boring to me. Oh I got to go see a real tailor shop to! The lady there was very beautiful and made a lot of neat things! That’s what I want to be when I grow up. It must be fun to make all these things that people want, to sit around sewing all day, I can’t wait until I get older!
When we got home things changed though. After daddy sent all my friends home he called me into the main room and asked me to sit. He told me how the people in the city were not buying the food that he was growing anymore, how some other man was selling the same things but for a lot cheaper so everyone bought from him. I didn’txatly exsakly really understand what he was trying to tell me until he told me we were out of gold and could not buy the things we needed when we were in the city. I told him I’ll do whatever I can to help! That I will begin tailoring right away so I can make money for him! I don’t think he liked the idea that much, he smiled, but it was a sad smile. He told me that I was to young to do that kind of work and that I was not a very good tailor. It made me mad but daddy said he has other ways I can help make gold for the family. I really want to help so of course I said yes! Well daddy says its bedtime, he always calls me his gummybear, I don’t know what he means but its funny and I like it. I love my daddy!
*several pages are torn out*
-day 7-
Stupid dog! I should have never let him in my room he tore out so many pages! It has been a fun week though, I got to play with my friends and I helped daddy on the farm. You know, the normal stuff. Daddy still hasn’t told me what it is I can do to help make money, I really want to help, daddy seems so sad lately. Oh! He’s calling me now! I think he is coming up to my room, it sounds like another man is with him. I will write more when he leaves.
I hate my dad! He came up with a creepy looking man and told me that it is time for me to earn my keep. I asked him where we were going so I can work and he said no where, that I will be working in my room. If Inder knew what he meant I would have ran right away. I asked him what did he mean and who the man was. He didn’t answer me…he just left the room and locked the door from the outside. The creepy man looked at me for a little while then told me to get undressed. I didn’t, I tried to fight and scream but the man was stronger then me. He made me do horrible things…*several lines are too smudged to read it looks like the area is covered in tears* I hate my father! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!
-day 8-
I made up my mind. I’m running away today. I couldn’t sleep last night, I wanted to kill my father for what he made me do. I just couldn’t, I don’t know how, I don’t think I could have…but I have heard of a city where people that do things like for you are easy to find. I think it’s called Umbra, very soon I will leave here and find that blue gate we used to pass on the way to the city. I remember that jerk used to tell me it can take me anywhere I want to go and I want to find someone to kill him. Ill finish packing then leave, I must do it before he calls on me again.
This city is scary, It’s dark, I’m alone and I’ve been here for a few hours and have found no one to help me. Maybe I should go home…No! I cant, he has to pay for what he’s done. I just have to keep looking.
I did it! I found a man that said he can do what I ask. He was a scary man, he snuck up behind me and I dint even notice. He told me that he overheard one of my talks with a shop keeper but he wanted more information. I told him what happened and why I wanted my father and the creepy man to die. He laughed about it! That made me mad but he agreed and said he could do what I asked, for a price. I did not like the look on his face when he said that. I asked him what his price was and told him I did not have any gold. He looked at me funny, kind of like that creepy man did and I got scared. Then he told me his son was in need of a woman, that he would do what I wanted if I made him happy. I thought about it and it was a hard decision to make but at least this time it was my choice to make no one else’s. I told the man ok, he said to wait in Umbra, that he would return soon to claim his reward. I don’t think I have much of a choice. Ill wait here.

-day 17-
It seemed like forever but I finally heard about my father being killed. It wasn’t to long after that the scary man found me again. He said that he finished the job and that it was time for me to pay mydedt deat…to pay what I promised him. He took me to the blue gate in the city and before I knew it we were in one very different from Umbra. This city was so much brighter and full of color and life. I asked him where we were, he told me the name of the city is Zento, that it is the capital of the Tokuno islands. I never heard of them before, but I really like it here. Then he took me to see his son. He told me that I was to marry him. The boys name is Sora and he is not much older then me! I also found out that Sora and his father were what was called ninja, I did not know exactly what it meant but I knew that I wanted to be one if it means I can finally protect myself like should have been able to do those weeks ago.
-day 21-
Sora finally introduced me to the clan he worked for, they call themselves the Blue Lotus Clan. They don’t look like anything special to me. But I asked their leader if I can join and learn how to be like them. Takashi (I think that’s his name) agreed and introduced me to a man named Hanya, who, in a few days taught me more then I ever thought I would know about fighting. Oh! And Sora proposed to me today to! Were going to be married in two days! I’m so excited, I never thought I would be this happy again.
*pages ripped out*
-day 39-
That lying, cheating jerk! Not two weeks after being married I caught him cheating on me with some floozy from Skara Brea. I don’t believe he would do that to me! I left him yesterday, I cannot be with some one that would do that to me. It is ok though, that leaves me with free time to learn more about fighting. I need to be better, stronger and I will be. I will spend every waking moment with the Lotus and learn everything I can so I can pass the testing that will show Sora who’s better!
-day 64-
It has been so long since I have written here but I was so busy with my training I didn’t have time to even think to. I finally did it though, I passed into the Lotus Clan a week ago. But…I’m bored now. I think I learned all I can here. Maybe I’ll go and tease the boys from Yew. Takashi and the others wont like it but I don’t care. I think I’ll quit soon anyway….I don’t know yet, we’ll see.
*that was the last entry in the book*
*Leusi finished reading over it half crying and half laughing to herself.* “It is amazing how naive I was back then” she thought to her self. “So much has changed in me since then.” She remembered the day she left the clan as well as the day she returned. “Leusi dear, it’s time for the meeting.” Garrett hollered from downstairs. “I’m coming!” she hollered back as she put away her old diary. Leusi kissed Garrett softly on the cheek as they left their home and smiled as she thought “I have all I need now, a great husband, my place in the clan that taught me more about life then my father ever had..” *she pats her enlarged belly* “and a baby on the way that we will do the same for. Who could ask for more?”
