Chronicles of Caelan

I understand I was being vague with that last post and I apologize.  A lot’s been going on an I had to hurry to rehearsal.  At the rate I’m going, it could take some time to catch you all up since I’m always somewhere else these days.

A lot’s been going on lately.  At work, I got chosen to do the part of Maid Marion in Robin Hood.  Something about stage presence, but all I heard was extra pay and a few more hours.  My boss thinks I was away helping my father with his business while he took care of my mother, which is why I wasn’t fired for missing some rehearsals.  Strange thing is, my father turned out to actually own a pretty successful travel company in the Land of Humans…go figure!

I was only in the Shire for a week, but time is different over there, so it was really a little over a month (Elven time).  My mother was actually incredibly worried about me and that’s why she sent the Searchers to find me.  She and Prince Galen’s mother had gotten over the whole “nonsense” of trying to force us to get married, or so I was told.  Strange that it was dropped all of a sudden.

Apparently, it had more to do with consolidating our kingdoms than anything, which didn’t make much sense to me; we could forge an alliance without a marriage.  Asking that led to something about an ancient prophecy that “a future generation to hold power great, but at the price of a danger that can only be thwarted with love”.  To me, it sounded like some ancient hoo-ha designed to keep all the realms friendly or something.

Everybody was pretty concerned over the wannabe Searchers the Dark Fae sent after me.  One of my father’s oldest advisors mentined that the D.F. (whose name is apparently Gasselroth-I’d go by a title myself, LOL) has a strange obsession with the prophecy since he found it in a tome recovered from an old cave.  They say it’s what drove him mad.

Even considering all the craziness and odd behavior everyone exhibited, it was good to see the Shire again; I really missed it, but I’m glad to be back here and getting on with things.
