wrfinalmixarchive[video start: Dreamwriter smiles with a bit of what seems to be forced cheeriness at the camera. She's out in the courtyard as it gets dark.] I've been doing my own form of protection here - a chant reinforcing everything that this place is: a safe haven against darkness. I like my non-traditional 'power' as the many magical folk at Star Market called it last summer. Perhaps I may need to rethink the prospect of training in the school trees here, but for now, I can deal with what I have. And I enjoy it.
I have also been doing my usual work of research, stopping in on mage training for the castle mages, kitchen duties, and preparing guest rooms with the servants. I guess the one thing I've learned in all the time spent here over the years is that there's always work to be done...
[She pauses] My birthday's tomorrow. It's another year come and gone. But, I'm not scared anymore.
[There's another longer pause and the energy in her voice has much more of a sincerity to it than her earlier cheeriness] There's a lot of stars out tonight. Some of them have gone, yes... but, no matter what happens, we write our own stories. We always have. We grow, we change, we learn. But most of all, we love - be it romantic love, friendship love, or family love - and that is the nature of our keys as Refugees no matter how new at this experience you are. As long as that chain of faith is never broken, nothing can break us. No matter how much it tries. Fight for what you care for, but remember that we all come from the same light and we will always return to that same light. We are a part of the children of light.
Darkness can't hide forever, and I don't expect it to. Entropy can and will show its face.
Brightest blessings, good luck and keep your light shining. We'll get through this together no matter how far apart we are.
