Traell! I want to write his name over a thousand times. I want to fill the rest of my journal with that one name, and I think I would be gratified when my aching wrists begged me aloud to stop. I want to pen it on the very skies, on the earth itself and in every cloud. I am happy today.
You see, I definitely did hear someone speaking of Traell. Behold my surprise when I see in a difference Tueron and some fat man hurting someone badly; of course I approached. I still feel, or rather, felt, close to Tueron. But now? Traell!
It was Traell. They held him aloft, Tueron lifting him to a post, and the fat man pounding on him with a makeshift club. My goodness, I have never seen such a dreadful sight, especially with someone I thought I liked. I drew my blade and demanded them both to leave him be, and Tueron tried to explain. I knew it was Traell, I just knew it! There is something in my heart that will never let us be truly seperate. When I saw his face, and when I could recognize it...
I cried. I laughed. I picked him up and hugged him until he was afraid I would take all the air out of him, then I cried and laughed and held him some more. I took him into the place I'm staying, and fed him, clothed him - and he was a mess - cleaned him up and bandaged him. I have never felt so good tending to someone, ever.
I wanted to ask him so many things, but how? And why? Everything I've been through is recorded in my journal. But now, that journal is not just a handful of words in a derelict script; it is reality! I remember all those things! I remember Traell's silliness, the way we used to argue. I wish we never had. I wish it would have been as wonderful as this always. I hope this will last forever; Traell, whom I've always loved and looked up to, my elder brother, of whom I am an almost exact copy, is now back with me. I feel complete again. I will never let him leave me. I can give him everything... and if he has to leave me, let me never again leave him. After being reunited, I think there would too much of me be lost if I ever had to go through a catastrophe like that again.
Today I am happy. Tomorrow may be good as well.
Traell! Traell! TRAELL! My brother!
