27th of the Seventh Month, 2302
My birthday was two days ago.
My present was mama's book, entitled The Deep Magic, and The Deeper Magic Before Time.
I don't know how she found out about The Deeper Magic Before Time (for only Aslan knows about that, as well as his father).
But it is exciting having this book. Mama even left me a message inside the front cover. It goes like this:
My dear Lilliandil,
Congratulations! Happy twelfth birthday.
I hope you enjoy this book, for it contains all the knowledge about magic you will ever need to know.
I cannot tell you how I got the information about The Deeper Magic Before Time, but I can assure you that it is 100% reliable.
I look forward to seeing you in Aslan's country someday.
Love,
Your Mother,
Belle
I then tucked the letter away in my treasure box for safekeeping.
I then lay on my bed, reading the book. I then came to a place, and it gave me a great idea.
I snuck into the kitchen, and swiped an empty rum bottle (although I prefer to think of it as 'borrowed', after all, it is a good cause), and tore a piece of paper out of this diary.
I then wrote a little note to mama, and it went like this:
Dear mama,
Thanks for the book and the letter.
I really miss you.
Your Lilliandil
I then rolled the piece of paper up, and stuffed it in the bottle. I put the cork on tight, and ran down to the east shore.
I placed the bottle gently in the water, and pushed it off. I watched it float away, and then turned to go back up to the house.
I turned back around to face eastwards, and as the bottle vanished from sight, I made a wish that mama might get the note.
Then I turned and went back up to the house.
Anyway, I must go now. It is time for dinner.
