Lily's Memoirs

Chirpy!

The Hel Tree Order has inducted their first post-formation members. miss Aurelie and miss Sawyer. miss Sawyer gave me the idea of calling miss Aurelie “Chirpy,” and I think it suits her quite well. She is chipper, very Sylvan, and loves chirping away in Sylvan when she gets a chance.

This is all very exciting, since I was struggling with the amount of testosterone in the Order. Now I just have to make up some more Women-Only clan yells. ‘Hel Hath No Fury’ is great, but I need a few more so I mix it up. I dislike becoming stale.

I find that these two are such good friends somewhat amusing in an irony sort of way. Chirpy is a Priestess of Sylvan faith, while miss Sawyer is a Blood Mage in training. In reality, these two are potentially not natural opposites, but on the surface it would seem natural to assume that a Priestess would frown upon someone who desecrates her own body by slicing herself up.

Social stigmas are amusing.

Surprising Commitment

Var and I have never been particularly close in the past, and he seems to be fairly monosyllabic when attempting to have a conversation with him. He probably falls under the category of ‘man of few words’ in those terms.

So imagine my surprise when I completed Book 3 entirely due to his conviction. I emerged out of the library to be informed that miss LunaBlue was gathering a group together. All throughout the trip, whenever someone asked if we were doing this for miss LunaBlue, he would always speak up that it was also for me. At one point he even designed a little flag that had my name on it, which I thought was fairly cute.

Unfortunately, the group could not stay and I was unable to learn everything I could from the book. I was so close, though. Just the final chapter was needed. When Var learned of this, he began gathering a second expedition. It took a while, and Var had to opt out of attending himself, but thanks to him and his gathering the group, I did finally finish Book 3.

It was a surprising show of Clan Unity, and I think I won’t underestimate Var’s conviction to the Order again.

If you read this, Var, I am forever appreciative of your assistance. I had been waiting for that moment for a very long time.
