Diary: 2nd of Hammer

I think my mom is stupid. There, I said it. So what. No one is gonna know because no one reads my diary. Even Orn and Reggie don't know I have one. She makes me want to scream.

I hate how she makes my dad upset - she doesn't think I know that she was messing around with that idiot Thasmudyan. I hate him too. He's always hanging around our house, except when he isn't hanging around our house and he's gone away. Then when he's gone my mom gets some stupid sad look in her eyes even though my dad is right there in front of her. I don't care how much he saved Orn's life.

I wish my dad would just tell her to get lost, we don't need her anyway. And Orn, too. He acts like he knows everything and it's just dumb. He runs around with his stupid bear and acts like my mom does.

My mom is going to have a baby by my dad while she's messing around with Thasmudyan. Yeah, it's my fault, I took her tea and hid it cause I know my dad can't keep his hands off of her but it didn't work like I thought it would. They still aren't back together and now we have to deal with some stupid baby in the house and I STILL don't have what I want.

Maybe me and my dad could move out. I'd take care of him and he could find someone else that wouldn't be such a... a... dipshit like my mom. Not that I want another mom. That's the last thing I need.

God. I. Hate. Her. Why can't she just be normal like other moms? Alright. I don't **hate** her, but she makes me so mad I want to just... I don't know. Now she leaves to do some "clan" thing and Orn is up her butt like she's the best thing. Yeah. Me and my dad should just move out. I think that would be the best. Then we could train together and we'd be fine.

Considerations

Sanria sat at her desk, looking at the two pieces of paper in her hand. One was from her own son, the other, from the orc Kronk. Of course, the vote to allow her son, Orn, into the clan was one in which she could not partake. Of course she would allow him with her - but his relationship to her would make her biased.

Laying Orn's note aside, she picked up the one written by Jayden for Kronk. It was sweet, she thought, how Jayden took the time to speak with the Orc and to help him. She thought back on Kronk, realizing just how much he wanted to have understanding. "Don't we all," she murmured aloud. A balance to help others give understanding and harmony. Having an Orc in the halls would certainly help the Keepers of Balance show that they were, in fact, willing to open their doors to any who wished to help spread the ideas of harmony through balance.

Sanria took out her pen and began to write a missive to the clan:

"Dear Keepers," she wrote, and with a smile and thoughts to the future, she continued on.

Kronk and the Keepers

"I Jayden Young have written this for Kronk Orcish Destroyer for he cannot write and has trouble with some words of our language."  'Kronk hails from nowhere, he rests when he can and he wishes for a balance in this world so a creature like himself can live in harmony with all others.  Kronk is very well adversed in fighting and can protect others with no hesitation, he is one with a blade and could lead others from the front. He grows more every day in understanding others and learning common tongue.  Not the brightest is Kronk but he grows with intelligence more and more, if you can accept this Orc as one of our own he says he will be deeply indebt to the cause and well being of  the clan and members first and foremost.'

Kronk then took the paper and marked a circle on the paper for his signature he grunted and thanked Jayden.  Jayden then placed the parchment into an envelope and placed it on Sanria's table. "What we do now?" Kronk asked.

"We wait....." replied Jayden

The Orc

Jayden turned and left the meditation chamber, adjusting his  robes.  Kronk was standing in the courtyard as Jayden emerged from the castle, little did Jayden know there was an Orc  clad in full armor waiting for him. Jayden breathed deeply when he saw the Orc, not ever encountering one face to face before he was not expecting to see what he had. Wasting no time he advanced slowly but without hesitation to  the Orc with a smile on his face, "Good day sir, I was told you would like to speak with me, maybe I could offer you some assistance?"  Kronk tilted his head and spoke deeply "Kronk got told J help Kronk. Kronk get chased by all persons. People scared of Kronk, Kronk have no home to go to!"

"You will never be harmed here Kronk, this is a place of balance no one gets harmed here, we live in peace with one another."  Kronk looked at Jayden and hung his head as he spoke "Kronk trust J, Sannnnia tell Kronk J good human, so Kronk trust you." his massive finger pointed right at Jayden.  Jayden smiled and and  asked "So you came here not knowing what here was, but somehow you ended up here, this is divine, I do believe you were brought here for a reason Kronk." The Orc looked at Jayden and shrugged "Kronk do not know. Kronk ran....ended up here." he waved his  giant hand around the area "Yes and I believe you were sent here for a reason Kronk, I do not know what reason, but I believe it is a just one....I would like you to stick around for awhile,  but....we have to clear it with everyone else, if I would help you write a letter addressed to everyone here would you be willing to do it?" Kronk looked around and then back at Jayden, eye to eye he spoke soft but firm "Yes....Kronk want to be part of balance..." With that Jayden walked Kronk into a room with a desk, ink and paper, here he began working a translation for Kronk to send out to the island.
