Year XXXX September 21
Well, things have not changed much between Mel'lank and myself except that she's growing continuously more frustrated with me about mating. There simply are not any dragons eggshells to use and those shells are harder than anything known to man except for bedrock, and obsidian and perhaps diamonds. Since bedrock is unattainable, I will have to try for diamonds and hope for the best, which leaves me with the energy portion of how Enders mate. Lacking any diamond tools obsidian is out of the question and since some roughly hewn diamonds cam be the size and shape of an egg depending on the vein you find. I hope it is an agreeable surrogate for the shell of those dragons.
Mel seems encouraged that I have found a substitute for the dragons shell and she excitedly disappears at night to dig through caves and ravines in search of those rare gems. All that I have left to figure out is this externalization of energy needed to give this 'shell' life but all I can think of is that girl with purple hair saying that when she listens to the right music it feels like her emotions are an energy that can be tapped into by others. I suppose I understand what she means. If one is truly moved by something, it can feel as though your emotions are tangible.
On the subject of strong emotion, I find myself setting aside some cooked meat for Kefka or reaching out expecting to bury a hand in her coarse fur only to remember I let her go to raise a family of her own. A few days after her absence I kept thinking that I heard the soft scuff of her paws on the mossy forest ground or the small huff as she nudged an Enderman for a scratch or food. Even the Endermen seem confused that she is not here with me and the youngsters keep coming to me asking where she's gone. I know Keffy is not dead but her absence is no less sudden or easier to bear.
I have told the kids that ask about Kefka being a mom but they don't seem to understand that wolves raise their pups differently than Endermen parents. I have tried to tell them wolves raise their pups the way rabbits raise their kits, in a den where the mother protects, warms, and feeds her babies, the end result is many harassed rabbits and a few bitten Endermen from sticking their hands into a cornered rabbits burrow. We had the misfortune of harassing a rabbit with red eyes and it chased us relentlessly until the kids had run far enough for the rabbit to thump the ground growl and turned to hop back to its den.
On a different note, the clan has been using stars as their guide and things have been getting tenser between Effar and his son. Sven has been staying as far away from his father as possible and Knell is very troubled by it, she's trying to be a peacekeeper between her grandfather and uncle and I hope to Notch that she doesn't get involved. I have heard of this kind of thing happening during divorces where children are involved, I just hope Sasha and Zephram can keep the girl out of trouble
Those dreams of the man in the light have finally stopped but its' been replaced by headaches the likes of whish I've never experienced before. I have tried several natural remedies I know of and I think I'll have to ask Theo if he think of any kind of cure, these pains are quite insistent but vanish after a few minutes. I am not dehydrated, they come and go without warning and closing my eyes seems to help.
Speak of the devil I feel one of those migraine headache things coming on so I'm going to stop before it gets any worse.
