Mignon’s Journal – Entry Two
Entry Two: Spring – Year 847 of the 4th Age.
I was born at some date, as people tend to be. This date however is lost to me as I was abandoned by my parents on the streets of the Al’Doran slums. Somehow I, a helpless baby, survived. I guess people cared for me or whatever. It’s all very vague. My first real memory is being taken into the Thieves Guild. I don’t know why they took me in. I guess they though I had potential. I was only like 5 or 6 at the time. Whatever the reason this was when I took on the name Judith Clearwater. 10 years later I discarded that one because I grew bored of it. I then became known as Seria Bles. That worked well for about a year before some unfortunate circumstances forced me to change that to Mignon Varrow. I really like this one. I think I’ll be keeping it as long as I can. Anyway, I guess my past is what made me who I am. Someone who doesn’t get close to people. Someone who doesn’t know what it is to truly care about others. Don’t feel any pity for me though. I love the person I am, and am happy with how my life has gone so far.
This is my first lesson to you. People are not bad to be around. You can accomplish so much more with a group. Treat your companions well and they will keep you alive. It’s a complex thing. I do care about my allies, as one cares about a sword or a shield. A useful tool. A means to an end. I guess this isn’t what friendship is though. This facade is as close to that as I’ll get, and I am quite fine with that. Well, maybe I’m lying a bit here. I guess I’m not totally incapable of truly caring about someone, as recent events have shown me. My mind is a mess on that subject. I don’t know what is happening there. If you seek to learn about love, Tim, then you are wasting your time with my blatherings. I can’t understand my own emotions, things I formerly thought I didn’t have, let alone help some imaginary guy with his love problems. Ah, poor Tim. You always were one for lady problems.
P.S: I seem to be continuing down the path to insanity. Nice scenery. I’ll let you know what it is like when I get there.
