Kyle's Diary: Part One
I don't know what drove me to write this. I had it on my hard drive for a while now, and now I'm posting it. Yay.
On searching, I found a fic called "Dora's Diary" by Griffinkhan (Is that how you spell it?), but I think mine's sufficiently different to avoid charges of plagiarism. If anyone believes otherwise, let me know and I will be sure to remove this. Anyways...
TAKE NOTE! I decided that there had to be names for Felix's and Garet's parents (and Felix's aunt), so they are:
Peter – Felix's Dad
Ivy – Felix's Mom
Laura – Felix's Aunt
Taylor – Garet's Dad
Lizzie – Garet's Mom
Day 9 of the Third Holy Month of Venus of the 249th Year of the Seal
I got this diary for my birthday today. What fun! I'll start now…or rather, I started a few words ago. Anyways. Today is my fifteenth birthday, and Mom and Dad are having a big birthday party for me. Dora came over - curse that pig! I seriously don't know why everyone thinks I like her. I'm not so unrefined as to take to filthy, uncivilized brutes who take pleasure in taking away pleasure…or whatever. I've got my sights higher: Ivy, Peter's girl. I've been devising a plan to kill Peter for months. Won't write it down here, because "pitchers have ears", and someone might peek.
Which reminds me: Ivy came over! I hear from Taylor that she dragged Peter over by the ear. Maybe Ivy has fallen for me? Oh, and I got a sword for a birthday present. Dad says I start training tomorrow. Heck, I want to learn Psynergy! That's so much cooler than sword fighting. But at least it's a start…
I can throw my sword (rather short, by the way) at Dora's head. Could prove to be a laugh.
Day 10 of the Third Holy Month of Venus of the 249th Year of the Seal
Dad's training is so horrible. I can't even hold the stupid sword properly yet! I'd give it away, but it's fun to use… Anyways, I heard that Peter's dad teaches how to use a sword. I'm on good terms with the guy, and he has to be better than Dad.
By the way, I threw the sword at Dora today. She spun around when I called her, got hit in the forehead (square between the eyes!) and fell into the river. She ended up on Peter's dock! Serves her right, being such a bully to everyone.
I saw Peter with Ivy today. That plan is almost ready! I just need an Excalibur and a net. Oh, Ivy, how I love thine sweet face, that shineth like the moon; oh, what war of red and white in thine lovely cheeks!
Must stop using the Olde English.
I saw Taylor today. He's some lucky bastard, being the new mayor's son. But then, the old mayor was his grandfather. Who died. What a pity. Funeral tomorrow. Noticed Excalibur on his wall.
Day 15 of the Third Holy Month of Venus of the 249th Year of the Seal
Taylor asked why I was not with Dora. Punched him in the face. Now I have to go to court. He's some lucky bastard, being the mayor's son.
Peter's dad's training is so horrible, I am going to force Dad to train me – if I don't go to jail.
I found Dora floating down the river again. I went over and poked her nose. She spit on me! The nerve of her! Well, I kicked her, and she tried to drop me in the river with Psynergy. Failed utterly.
Dad told me that Psynergy training starts next month. Dad is one of town's best Adepts. Maybe I can use Psynergy to drop Dora in the river again – or, better yet, into old man Tennyson's backyard. Should prove to be a laugh.
Day 22 of the Third Holy Month of Venus of the 249th Year of the Seal
I cannot believe it. Taylor betrayed me! I am now sentenced for a week in jail. The whole jury voted against me! "Vox populi, vox dei", the judge said. Sure, whatever. Taylor's some lucky bastard, being the mayor's son.
Dora came to visit. She brought that stupid spear again. Tried to hit me with it when the guard wasn't looking. Hit her on the head.
Peter came over later, speaking in his Peterlish again. I can't understand any of the babble! It was only when Ivy came over that I got the bad news (and a decent translation): They were engaged! They were getting married in two or three months. I see a net on the wall. My plan is almost ready. Though, I feel my heart breaking all the same.
Oh, and Dad and Dora's mom are fighting outside the jail, or so I hear.
Day 23 of the Third Holy Month of Venus of the 249th Year of the Seal
I got let out of jail five days early. Apparently, I was crying so much that the steel would rust. Looks like Valean steel isn't that great.
Started training with Dad again. Compared to Peter's dad, he is an excellent teacher. I can actually hold my sword now! Yay!
Learned "Move" from Dad. Guess what I did? Well, I was at the riverside, and I saw Peter and Dora, right next to each other. I just couldn't resist! I pushed them both into the river, Peter flailing on top of Dora. By the time they stopped fighting, I was long gone. Now, how shall I get that net?
I got scolded for using too much Psynergy at once, by the way. Just found out Dora owns the Catch Beads. Hmm…
Dora's mom came by. After a huge argument with Dad, they started fighting. It was comical, almost, how they fought. Dora's mom made the earth open up under Dad…just as he dropped a huge boulder on top of her.
Dora's mom is buried under rocks now. I need to make Dad teach me how to do that! But I'll tease Dora about her tomorrow.
Day 24 of the Third Holy Month of Venus of the 249th Year of the Seal
Teased Dora about her mom being buried by Dad. She cried! What an amusing little creature.
Dad taught me how to make rocks fall on people's head. I got dizzy after the first try, but Dad was impressed. He said I was progressing quicker than anyone else he knew, and that I was an excellent Adept, considering I was fifteen. He also told me to keep practicing, because I had potential! Yay!
Now, for an update on Operation Blacklist: Dora's Catch beads would prove invaluable for retrieving the net. When there is a proclamation in the town, the Mayor's house is always empty. Master blacksmith Sunlight is coming to town on the Festival of Snow.
Day 13 of the Third Holy Month of Jupiter of the 249th Year of the Seal
I learned how to drop big rocks from the sky. How exciting! And the easy Psynergy isn't dizzying anymore. Dad's awfully proud of me…until Dora and her mom came over. Seriously, why do they always come over? Mom never talks to them, and Dad always gets into fights with Dora's mom. She's a village elder, by the way…but so is Dad.
It was all so complicated, I decided to clear my mind through concentration. And whoops! My concentration almost broke Dora's skull. Which incited a fight between Dad and Dora's mom. Gah!
Dora is such a baby. She came and hit me. Of course I hit her back! And with nice, big rocks, too. Then I found a pile of rocks close to Dad and Dora's mom fighting. Wow…I wish I could do that…now they're pulling out swords. This should change things up…
Dora crawled out from under the pile of rocks I was sitting on and hit me. That was amusing. But if Dad doesn't teach me how to use Earthquake, I'm going to throw a temper tantrum.
Day 25 of the Third Holy Month of Mars of the 249th Year of the Seal
Wow. It's been a while…more than a month since I last wrote in here. Anyways, it's the festival of Snow today, and that means presents! I got…
A lump of coal. From…Dora. It's all fair, I guess; I sent her a Mimic.
UPDATE: OPERATION BLACKLIST
Peter marrying Ivy tomorrow. Excalibur on Mayor's wall; may not need Dora's Catch Beads as Mayor is making Snow Festival proclamations welcoming master blacksmith Sunshine. Prison empty; guards on holiday. Phase four commence.
Day 26 of the Third Holy Month of Mars of the 249th Year of the Seal
Dora hit me for sending her a Mimic. Noticed with some sick satisfaction the bruises on her head. Used Earthquake on her, giving her more bruises.
My plan is too late! Peter and Ivy are married. If it makes her happy, then…what can I do?
I finally heard from Laura that Dora is in love with me. She's just acting all tough to make sure I don't find out. Argh! If it were anyone else but Laura, I'd say they were lying. But Laura never lies! She's a household word! "He's as true as Laura"…and anything else! Gah!
Forget it…forget it. YOU SAW NOTHING!
Day 20 of the Second Holy Month of Mercury of the 251st Year of the Seal
Peter came to me, talking about sons and Ivy and a guy named "Feefee". Venus, have mercy on my soul.
Dora came by. Does she really like me? I didn't want to find out. I waved at her while she went over the falls.
Dora's mom now fighting Dad again. Is 20th time this month. I don't wonder why Mom doesn't want a restraining order on Dora's mom.
Taylor officially announces his love for Lizzie. They dream together about having a daughter named Caitlin. I suggested "Kay" to them. They didn't take it.
Day 20 of the Second Holy Month of Mercury of the 251st Year of the Seal
Ivy, once again, gave me a proper translation of Peter's Peterlish. Their son was to be named Felix, and his nickname was to be Feefee. And they would teach him Psynergy, and would make clothes for him…ugh.
I find Dora is growing on me. I didn't antagonize her today, when she came over.
Actually… I think I am…YOU SAW NOTHING! NOTHING, I SAY! Non quares inditere!
A little ancient Lemurian for ya. Had to learn some in school.
