[Backdated to the day after the merge]

So, I've now got a pretty Darkness containment bracelet that's effectively useless. Oh, I'm sure the magic's still good, there's just no Darkness to bind anymore. My first urge was to smash it with a hammer (no offense Ray), but it might come in handy again someday. Hopefully not for me. Maybe I'll put it away for my descendants.

That's such a weird thought, somehow.

(Radiant Garden) It's weird . . .

I'm not sure if it's just that she had been going stir-crazy with the kids or that she's avoiding me, but I think it's kind of weird that Song leaves as soon as I return.

On the upside, I got to make Thanksgiving dinner with the family, and I've gotten lots of time in with Ashlyn. Thank goodness she was old enough to understand why I had to go away, but she was still a little mad at me for being gone so long. Months seem forever when you're three.

Our visitors have not gone home yet. They've settled into the old castle (How weird is that?) for some sort of conference--they said it had to do with the presence we felt the other night and Maleficent's return. It's all a little ominous. I guess we'll see what comes next. Hopefully, Song will be back before things get bad.
