Dear Journal,

I don't know how often I will write in you, but I have a bit of free time, and you are here with me, so I will express my thoughts to you.

Things have changed drastically as of late.

I suppose I should start with where I was, to better make sense of all this. I am Lovely Nex'Cruor, formerly the human paladin known as Lovely of Lakeshire. I have seen many things in my life...Some wonderful, but most terrible. My life has as of late been in servitude to chaos and emotions, and I have been a slave to my desires. I have also been weak and enabled other people to control me. No more will this happen. Events of late have changed me, and those changes are for the better.

My half-brother by adoption, Skafloc Ran'Deau...He had been married to a woman named Nymare, and the two had been happy for what seemed like a long time. I had been infatuated with her, however, as was my way. It seemed like I always wanted what someone else had, and her proximity to me drove me wild with desire. I was a slave to her, but by my doing and nothing else.

She left Skafloc....Went down a dark path with the Ghants. At first I was terrified, and thought that she might drag me down this path with her, because at that point I would have followed her anywhere. But Nymare did me a favor. When she left, she cut ties with me, and told me to watch out for my brother. In retrospect, this was the best thing she could have done. It shocked me into actually thinking with my head rather than with my desires, and I started to see things a bit more clearly.

I have spent the last two years clawing my way to freedom from Darkness. The Darkness that Clys introduced me into, and that the Grim tried to make me live with by force. And I followed those people willingly. But the darkness could not hold my love, even though I wanted it to. Nymare leaving Skafloc helped me to finally escape, and finally become free.

But I was still weak.

The same day that Nymare left Skafloc, I had thought I had found someone. A man who would be good to me...care for me...He made love to me tenderly, and professed his undying love to me. I professed mine in return, and it made me forget about the pain that Nymare had caused me....albiet that was pain that was needed.

Three hours after professing his love to me, I discover this man had done the same with several other girls, most of which were in Sanctuary with me. I was devestated. I was destroyed, turned into a husk worse than I was before I had come to Clys to make me this Sin'Dorei body.

For two days I tried to deal with all this. I cried alot, and tried to throw myself into my work...But I was still weak, and drawing inward, becoming a recluse and scared of the world around me. I even let people weaker than me walk all over me, such as Hellista....That little demon loving tramp.

Then one day it happened. I was out performing some missions with Nojinbu, Vilmah's husband, and asked for his advice. He told me to be strong, and for once the advice sunk in.

I made a vow that day, and it changed my life. I am in total control now. I am no longer a slave to darkness, or to my emotions. No one has power over me, and I do as I will to make myself happy, unconcerned as to what others may think.

My vow worked. Within a day I had someone new. I won't write her name here, lest others find it, but my little bouncy blonde rogue friend is perfect for me. We love each other without commitment, or promises, and adore each other to the point of worship. I still feel her breath on my skin, her teeth playfully tugging on my nipple rings, her hands on me...Her skin is smooth, silky...and when we make love that is all that matters, and there are never any strings attached.

She makes me feel alive, my little blonde rogue, and makes me happy even though we are simply good friends who use each other for pleasure. I want no commital..I need no commital. I only need happiness, and I have found it.

As for the others, I have found my peace with them. I forgive Diomades and Nymare from the bottom of my heart, and I wish them the best of what life has to offer. Beause now, like them, I am strong and confident...And they have helped to show me this strength. Light help those who now stand in my way.

Time for another entry. I am finding more and more that writing in this journal helps me to put together a mental image of the vents of the week, and deal with them in a rational manner.

This week has been eventful indeed.

I am discovering what love is. Love isn't committing to someone, or making love, or the thought process behind making love...Love is doing your best to make others happy, while at the same time being yourself and doing whats right.

My little blonde rogue is an object of my affection, and I love her, but I can do so in such a way that doesn't make me a prisoner, as I have done in the past. She and I are best friends, and we love each other, but we don't have to pretend to be more than what we actually are, and therefore we avoid any of the weaknesses that being in love can create. I am thoroughly enjoying this.

For years I struggled with myself over relationships. I went from a demonic slut, to a reclusive shut-in, to a trampy party-girl, and never really knew who I was. Now, I have the strength and presence of mind to understand that it really doesn't matter. I hurt no one, and I make myself happy, and everything is good. I finally love myself, and therefore have the right to love others and help them gain the strength that I have now discovered.

This brings me to last night.

Last night I infiltrated a stronghold of the Cabal with The House of Ghant. I know most of them, and have ventured into dark places with them before, but this is the first time since Nymare left Skafloc that I have really encountered them, and also the first time since I changed.

I handled myself well. I had always wondered what I would say or do if I encountered Nymare again. For a long time I blindly followed her, forcing myself to become my own prisoner because of the deep seated lust that I felt for her, which I had thought was love. When she left Skafloc, and cut me off, at first I had felt betrayed...Spit on. I threw a "Pity Party" for myself as I always did back before I had the realization that I needed to become stronger.

Now I see Nymare for what she truly is, rather than seeing what I wanted her to be. She is a woman making her way through this world the same as the rest of us, dealing with whatever comes her way in order to survive. Nothing more, nothing less.

Fighting alongside her last night was an enjoyable experience, and although she is still gorgeous, and still the same Nymare, I am the one who is changed. I love her, but not as I once did. Now my love for her is as a protector, and a friend. This I give unconditionally, without ever asking for anything in return, or assuming I will get something in return. I do this because it is the right thing to do, and I think Nymare could probably tell. This is a good thing, because even with the issues she had with Skafloc, I never really wanted to stop being her friend. I simply wanted closure, and in cutting me off for a while, and letting me heal my inner self, she gave me an opportunity to straighten things out.

I will probably never feel the same way for Nymare as I once did, but I still love her as though she were my family, and no matter what path she chooses, I will stay out of her way, and only interfere to make sure she isn't harmed.

The Ghants, I had once thought, were vile and evil creatures who only lived to spread chaos and misery. I remember actually crying at one point when Nymare was joining them, because I thought we would lose her to some dark and forboding insanity. But now I see that like Nymare, the Ghants are just people too. They are trying to survive in a world that doesn't understand them. I may not agree with everything they do, but they are family, in a strange way, and I will try to help heal and protect them when I can just as I would Nymare...Because she is now a Ghant, after all.

Is this against the rules of a Guardian of Sanctuary? Is this something I shouldn't do? No, it isn't. I don't accompany the Ghants when they attack innocent Alliance, and I try to ignore that, lest I get involved in things that I don't want to be involved with. But I am a Guardian, and my job is to protect the Horde, and heal the Horde, and I do my job damn well.

Anyway, journal....I have to put you away for now. I will write in you later, as more thoughts come to me.

Yours in strength and love,

Lovely

I finally have time for another entry.

The past two weeks have been hard for me. I wasn't sure why, but it seemed like all the Alliance had been infected with "The Madness." This is a disease that I first began researching when I was still a human, and it causes people infected with it to jump alot and speak in gibberish, and people infected with it often exhibit violent behavior without rational thought.

I have seen members of the Horde infected with "The Madness" as well, but not nearly as much as members of the Alliance. It seems to have spread fast over there, and I fear for the safety of the few friends I still have that are under that banner.

This past two weeks, I was attacked daily by members of the Alliance, and most of them were those I had once called friends. I grew angry, breaking my oath to Sanctuary and releasing my frustrations by slaying many Alliance, some of which were completely innocent. I had snapped, and after some anger filled thought, I threw down the banner of Sanctuary. I was not being a good role model for those in the guild.

The next day, Vilmah and I had a talk, and she let me back in, but I am to be punished for my actions, and I have lost much of the respect I had from those in the guild due to my anger and temper. I have accepted whatever this punishment may be....I know that under certain orc or troll customs, I could be branded, or flogged, but I am willing to face anything in order to maintain control.

Speaking of control....I am involved in relationships with two people right now who mean the world to me....But I worry that I am slipping back into my old ways. I have become decadent beyond words in the past few days, and while I am only doing this with select people, I still need to be careful lest I become like I was back when I was a human. I will keep a close eye on this situation so that it doesn't get out of hand.

I am still strong. That is not in question at all. I just have to maintain my strength, and also realize that I am not invincible...I have to view my strength realistically. My friends and family...Sanctuary...The House of Ghant....Annelia and Tamora....They all influence me, and I draw my strength from them. I only hope I continue to do the right thing.

It has been over a month since I last wrote. I only have time now because I have been ordered to not go out until the time is right.

Things are grim. My sister is missing, taken most likely by those zealots of the Scarlet Crusade. I have slain thousands of them this week I'm sure, yet I still cannot find her.

I am losing my mind...Losing touch with reality...becoming violent and uncontrolled. Only Tamora, my mate, is able to calm me at this moment, but each moment that passes without her is like the nether swallowing me whole.

I killed last night. Many many Alliance in Arathai, some of which were innocent. My bloodlust seems to be growing, and Nojinbu was quite disappointed in me when I told him. Tamora has been disappointed too...

Skafloc was dead...now he may not be. Some scheme. I have yet to investigate this fully, or respond to Izrail's mail, because my only care right now is Celuna.

By the light why is life so hard?

If not for Tamora I would surely have ended myself by now. She keeps me safe, her willing slave, nestled within her protective grasp. I love her so much, and am still afraid of her...Of what she thinks...Who she loves...Who she gives me to. Only when she is around do I feel safe...Safe from myself. I have truly gone insane.

After I find Celuna, I will seek help from a doctor of the mind. Until then, I am no good to anyone other than being a violent plaything.

Light help me. Light deliver me from this pit I have fallen back into. I pray this to you, merciful light, that you might see these words on this parchment or in my mind and save me from myself and from this world.

The past few days have been trying. Poor Tamora, I feel so bad for her. She has been strong for me, yet time and time again I screw things up. I anger her more than she lets on, I think.

Today, I did things which I think were right, but which hurt many people. Tamora was one of these I hurt...And that is something I never wanted to do.

I need help. Badly. I haven't been of any use to Sanctuary lately, or House Nex'Cruor...And I think my sister Celuna may be dead, or missing for good. I have let her down as well.

So rather than exist in the hellish prison that is my mind, I have turned myself in to Leoren Evershine, and was arrested for the crime of murder against Hellista Lok'Tharis. I wrote my confession, and told them where the body was buried. Perhaps behind bars, or in a padded room, or dead, I will no longer be able to hurt those I love.

Should anyone find this journal, know that I loved all of you.

Skafloc, you are my brother, my friend, and I love you.

Nymare, I always loved you...even when it hurt to do so.

Daala, I am sorry I hurt you. I love you also.

Annelia, I love you as a sister, and a lover. If I am put away for good or executed, I will spend my last thoughts thinking of good memories involving you.

Tamora...My love. I love you more than anything I've ever loved. You were able to protect me from everything...except myself. I am sorry I let you down. I will make you proud by doing the right thing for our clan. And by having honor.

Lovely Nex'Cruor
