Hello new friend... Today, I have just gotten a new journal. It's very nice, and I want to use it to document my ... adventures? Adventures is the best term, I guess. OH! I guess I should tell you a bit about myself.
I'm an elf. From Castellia, the coastal region to be precise. I'm 20 years old, and I'm going to be going to Solaris State Academy on the Solaris Island really soon! Sure, the price of admission is a little high... but it's one of the best schools in the world! I'm still not sure why I have to join their military... or one of their "special forces" teams... or why they want me to go to the Forbidden Palace in two days... but... I have a good feeling about it!
My mama, Tomoko Talos, says that I should get ready with my best clothes and to be on my very best behavior. Like I would do anything to shame our family intentionally! ...Not that I have a choice if I have one of my visions. I hope I don't have one in the middle of this whole meeting... that'd be really bad!
Oh, the visions? That's a family thing. Mama says that the Talos family always has a Seer once every few generations. The first one was called Tetempoan, and she was the best one of us all! Her daughter had it, and then her granddaughter. And then so on and so forth. It skipped two generations, and we thought that it'd gone away, until I was born with it! So, no one in my family is really able to tell me how to control it apart from old documents and stuff.
It's not that bad, it only happens once a week or so! ...I'm due for one soon, if I've marked it right... but not within the next few days, so I should be in the clear! I hope I bring pride to my family while I'm away. Not that it really needs me to do that, not when my brother, sister, and cousin all do so well at their jobs. I'm the youngest Talos after all. Oop, wait, I WAS the youngest. Now I'm second youngest. My big brother, Tai, runs one of the shops my family owns. The other is run by Takashi. My mama and her sister Tsumomo used to run them, but they retired not long ago. We own the Silver Sparrow and the Maiden's Lamb! The best witchcraft shops on the Castellian coast! Well, I think so anyway.
I should start packing, it'd be real bad if I forgot anything! I think that I'm supposed to go to the Academy directly from the Forbidden Palace... so I won't get to say goodbye to Mama or Tai or Twila or anyone after I go... I'll miss home, but I'm old enough now that I can take care of myself!

PS. I get to ride the train, I've never done it before. It'll be super exciting, I just know it! I should pack my sparrow kimono... it's the best one to represent the family. Ehehe!
