I have a herd of cows. I bet you saw this coming. They listen to me. Sure, they backtalk like any normal camper, but they listen to me. I sent two of them on these shitty quests just to get them away from me, and they came back with actual intel.
Useful cows. I wonder if Apollo's herd ever was.
Things are getting crazy, man. HQ Solais tasked me to ensure communications run smoothly for the Seelie armies, but she especially assigned me to Sir Lancelot and Clarisse. Makes me wonder why, you know? Everything happens for a reason — guess you believe more in that than I ever have or ever will.
Even without ever having met her, I bet you can tell how well my trip to Cothromach went down. Found a fox. Wonder if you ever met the Black Shuck in your years? Think you would've liked him. He has a poor sense of humor like your dad. But I found this little fox — she's tiny. She's soft and quiet, but she can be mischievous when she feels the urge to misbehave. I named her Maia, after Mom. Dad's grandmother's Maia, too. I don't know much about her, but from what I've read, she seems like a lady who deserved better. Just like She won't leave me alone. She sleeps on me. She tries to suffocate me. I think you'd like her. She would've kept you company all those years you were alone.
I know it's a lot to ask. But — HK Ridire asked for Seers in his court to be found, so they can be given the Sight and See through his eyes. I'm worried, Hal. I know what the Sight did to you, and I don't want it to ruin another. The Oracle used to scare me, you know? Ugly and hollowed out, she was just like a skeleton that was dry. We need an advantage in this war, and I'm thinking it's about time we get to See a little into our future so we can prevent it. Like you did for that girl.
I just hope we don't pay the same price.
I'm trying to make sure they're all safe. But sometimes I worry it's not enough. It was my responsibility to keep the kids at camp safe, to keep Thalia and Annabeth … It sure is hard when you've got this suffocating weight on your shoulders, HG. Wish you wrote in this how you managed it.
Been having crazy dreams, tell you about them later.
Maybe you can inspire me or help me out or something.
Unseelie crap.
✴ Spires, spells, elves. ???
Santa's little guys are capable of spells? Who knew.
✴ Dark something in a Spire. Chocolate — dark to black, brown, white, mixture of each, caramel center.
✴ "Las Noa" — Loch Noa, La Llorona.
Remember: Loch Noa has a very melancholic sense. Beautiful, too. Should pay it a visit sometime.
La Llorona with its vines that tried to kill CLR. Would it ever let a bird build a nest there? Would it let anyone?
✴ A beach and a beach house being renovated? WTH.
Cow crap.
✴ CALLIOPE: Found George a big juicy rat. He rates it 15/10. ( JAN 3 - JAN 4 )
✴ ERO: Reaffirmed Seers still live in Seelie. ( JAN 3-JAN 7 )
✴ CLEO + HYMN: Told to graze. They took this too literally and came back with all the shi junk above while I was M.I.A. ( JAN 3 - JAN 12 )
( Still ongoing. )
✴ CALLIOPE: Get me as much information about Cothromach and how to defend a city in the mountains. ( JAN 12 -
✴ ERO: Find someone or something that can protect the foxes in my absence. ( JAN 12 -
✴ CLEO + HYMN: Looking for a reliable way to communicate that I can control. Searching for something to give the Seelies an advantage in the war. Also seeking any information they can on the Drabkeeper. ( JAN 15 -
✴ GEORGE + MARTHA: Keeping their eyes and ears peeled for more bird and critter-talk. Going to try and work on sharpening their memory and brushing them up on the various animal languages.
(Note: Cow as are also very fond of grazing.
Get them some chocolate.)
(Note: Trick someone into educating Ero on the birds and the bees.)
Sorry for being quiet. I just didn't want to open this.
