A/n: For those who don't know the reverse AU, I highly recommend checking it out. It was coined by the Tumblr Artist Blpak. A very brief description: Character A and Character B switch, for example Jack Spicer is the Heylin Warlord and Chase Young is the evil boy genius and Clay switched with Hannibal Roy Bean.
I do not own Xiaolin Showdown or Chronicles. Those belong to Christy Hui. I Only own my variation of Reverse/Fem Jack- Jacqueline. Do enjoy and don't be scared to show some love!))
Journal,
Mother has given you to me in order to record the day-to-day livings of marriage, and as per her request, I shall. Of course, this shall be more for my benefit, as I will ensure to include notes of my education with Captain Hannibal Bailey for future reference.
Saying that, it is June 18th, 1774, in other words, my wedding day. Mere hours ago I made an oath to Captain Bailey to be in sickness and in health until death do is part. Captain Bailey laughed, and yet said I do, confusing my family over the hilarity of our vows.
I must say though dear journal that even though I went into the marriage under free will and that I had chosen Captain Bailey, he does not have my heart. From the moment we became engaged, we kept in mind that this was a marriage of convenience and just good business. If I had been born a man, the two of us would have been free to have our lessons under the alibi of cigars and brandy. Alas, I am a woman and unless wed have no freedom to even look at a man without a chaperon to keep me pure.
We left the ceremony not so long ago and are currently on a carriage to Dorset where my lessons will begin. The captain is resting, but he has already warned me of what to expect. Apparently Captain Bailey had forgotten to supply us with dragons which is the most important ingredient for the potion which shall grant me Heylin magic. Instead Hannibal insists that when we arrive in Dorset I shall do the hunting. After all, in his words, I am "the wife, and therefor the sole nurturer. If you live, then you would have successfully proven yourself to deserve training."
This though brings curiosity. He certainly wouldn't have bothered with the marriage if he did not see potential would he? He is very much more intelligent than many make him out to be, and this is one thing that drew me to him. It's rather cute how he thinks he believes himself to be smarter than me. I may be a woman of the 1700s, but that is not a weakness. In my country of England alone we have seen a woman rule as the sovereign leader. Like Queen Elizabeth, I am determined to prove those who doubt me wrong.
The captain is awaking and so I must stop for now. I shall write again tomorrow.
Until then,
Jacqueline Elizabeth Bailey
