Yes, it's in two parts. I just can't do a time advance without making a new
chapter. It goes against the spirit of this style.

Dear Diary,
I'm turning ten today!
I'm passing most of my classes. My marks in Science and History are okay. Magic is just so easy, and Politics is just boring common sense stuff, and... Well, my combat teacher likes to cheat, so I'm not doing well in that at all. But Auntie Naru is my teacher, and she never fights fair. I think she wants me to do it too, but I can't do that whole animal transformation thingie a lot of people do around here.
I'll officially be named as the princess of the kingdom! Every girl wants to be princess, but only I'm special enough to be named next in line. Yes, it is the _Dark Kingdom_, and we did try to destroy the world a few times, but that was a long time ago. It's not like we caused the whole Ice Ball thing.
I just know there's going to be cake, Aelan loves looking for excuses to bake. And I'm pretty sure there will be lots of presents. I really hope I get a new grimoire... my last one caught fire when I was working on that flaming entrapment spell...
Oh yeah, Aelan is one of mine and my aunt's bodyguards, she's considered a plant youma, but except for the thorns on her fingertips, she's usually pretty normal. She fights differently, but almost everybody does. Auntie is always telling me about how the beast inside will change your outside, but it all sounds like gibberish to me.
One thing I never understand is how my aunt can always beat up Meli. She's another of the guards. The head of them actually, and she turns into this cool were-tiger thing when she fights. Auntie just sprouts a tail, and some dinky claws, and starts meowling like a cat. I thought tigers were bigger then cats. I never understand how Meli can always lose. It doesn't make sense.
Before my party I have to pick out a 'Royal Guard'. I don't know how I'm suppose to do that, but I'll just ask for some advice on who to pick. I never actually paid any attention to the people on guard duty around here.
I wish my parents were here. But no one knows exactly what happened yet. Auntie gets new reports everyday (they tend to stack up on her desk over the weekends), but no one's found any sign of people. I can tell she's really excited because of a strange crystal deposit forming over her home town. She keeps those in a bright red folder. But I don't know why she finds those so interesting.
I used to live there, when I was really young, but I don't really think of it as home like she does. I kind of remember my parents, but I like it here so much more. Most of what I remember from back then was being told to use my hands to write with pencils over and over again. Like there's something weird about just letting the pencil write on it's own.
Oh, it's almost time. Wish me luck.
Love, Yuki
