2nd day of the 9th Passage Hand in the year 10,157 CA

I have grown tired of coming up with titles for my journal entries...they are just journal entries so why do I wrack my brains in coming up with snazzy titles? We are still in Schendi. This has been the longest trip of my life I think. Not that its bad, its beautiful here and its nice to be in the land where my greatest mentor and friend was raised but I get the sense from my Ubar that the people have changed and not so much for the better. It is only my opinion cuz my friend doesnt always share his inner most feelings with me, but his eyes and his demeanor speak louder than any words can say. Plus the actions of its people say alot about a city. For this trip I have yet to meet its administrator; I have met a few others and reacquainted myself with still others and they all seem a lively bunch. Some oddities have presented themselves but I muddled thru without getting my butt cheeks too clenched and even managed to laugh and enjoy myself here, especially with the odd little toy weapons that supposedly one of the citizens created or invented. But if my memory serves me right and it usually does, it didnt dawn on me until the other night that these little toys are urthen items known as water guns. I think the higher caste here is trying to pull this off as a gorean invention and maybe they have introduced it but they certainly havent invented anything new. But who am I to judge these people, I did have fun the night their women doused the men with water from these small items and no blue flame of reprimand descended down on us. Perhaps the PKs (and I say PKs for Odin most certainly wouldnt tolerate it) have found favor with these people so who am I to argue.

I am mainly in Schendi for my brothers not to be mistaken that I dont like Schendi or anything but I am content with staying in Lydius and performing my duties day in and day out, there is no place like my homestone. Jared of course got us into this mess with his telling Sindel he would take her shopping and somehow his brothers got involved in that, smooth he was in that one. Trenton Im sure wished to see the land of where he was raised and if it werent for this hunt we are supposed to be on (today in fact) I would have taken my woman to the plains by now where she wishes to have our sons. We are pressed for time for Sana is huge and I mean huge with our twins and fear her health I risk taking her on such a long journey but I have arranged to make it as comfortable as I can for her. She is hanging in there, not once has she complained and she is resting as much as she can which pleases me greatly. In fact my pretty little desert flower will remain back at the state house while I am on this hunt. I had arranged for a wagons to take us from Schendi and sent my tarn back to Lydius but the blasted beast refused to return and to my elation found her on the outskirts of Schendi squawking her protest at me. So I will be taking her back and forth from the jungle hunt to be with Sana at night and return early morning back to...as Jared said...."romp in the jungle with my brothers".

In a moon's time my little warriors will be born. They will know the desert from where their mother came and they will live in the land of their father. Its so sweet when I place my hands on Sana's bara the boys stop their wriggle and kicking. They know who their father is and even now in the womb mind me. I cant describe how it feels to be responsible for little lives. You'd think by now I'd be used to it and it wouldnt affect me but it does. It fills me with an immense joy that's indescribable. Caleb, Caden and Breanna have been lost here in Schendi. Callie and the girls too for that matter, I havent seen Callie, Trenessa or Korlee since our arrival here. Of course, everyone from Lydius is well guarded, I see to that and why I laughed when Merrick wanted to guard all of us on our trip to the plains. Had I not been in light spirits I would have taken it as an insult to me. After all I am Commander of the City Guard and it is by my word that saftety is met for my city's people when they travel. But my Ubar's teachings of patience has sunk in and I am getting better at it...:::winces as he writes:::.I think. But anyway, my children well guarded have their nanny keeping them rather busy and each night I go into there state room, they excitedly fill me with the stories of adventures they feated for the day. They hug and kiss me and tell me how happy I have made them in allowing them to come with us and cannot possibly wait to go to Turmas to see their home there and to have enen more adventures. Odin they fill my soul with love!

Well, journal I am getting back to my rence about the jungle and preparing for the day's hunt which will prove to be interesting. I have never been in the jungles to hunt and Trenton tells me that I have to wear a loin cloth. I've seen the insects in this place and Im sure the ihn I show just how white I really am, they will hone in on me and it will be just one slap fest. Gonna have to take something to guard me against being eaten alive. Trenton did give me a few pointers about the jungle and he said for me to follow his lead and I should be alright. This hunt will prove to be interesting.
