Alvyne is very upset and she is dealing with it best a doggy can!

The Diary of Alvyne Vierahealer

Sometimes, I wish Reena didn't have to listen to Humes. Good Wood, that Rael deserves to be eaten by the other Reena! I hate her so much!

She made remarks about Mjrn. Poor Mjrn gets attacked by a Reena, suffers a miscarriage, and then has to listen to the chief wood-warder harp at her for going out in the Wood alone, and not telling Jote about the fact that she was pregnant.

I don't know why Rael is like this. Jote has told me that Rael used to be a lot less disturbing. When Myko was born, however, Rael's temperament completely changed. I seriously think she needs to go on medication or something. I could get one of the salve-makers to do something. Of course, if Jote allows us to help. I imagine she would. She likes Rael, but even she knows when enough is enough.

Rael also pushed Myko off a ledge. Luckily it was just onto the platforms, because even she knows that if anything happens to Myko, Jote will kill her. I mean it literally. Jote said that if Rael hurt Myko, she was going to take matters into her own hands and destroy her. The Wood charged Jote to take care of Myko, and she takes that job seriously.

Vinka is still very jealous. Rael likes her, probably because Vinka is Jote's daughter and Rael is in love with Jote. Jote says that the kit should get over it soon, especially since Marl has been making sure to spend time with her so she would get some attention. Jote doesn't have a lot of time right now. She has to figure out what to do about the Reena. She sent Rena, Kjrs, and Arla off to tell the other village leaders what is going on so the Viera know to be wary. I like Rena because her name sounds almost like the name of my race, and she isn't as mean to me as Rael or Kjrs. Kara of Tarva Village has already sent the Tarvan wood-warders on the hunt, but has mostly kept quiet to the common Viera until she knows for sure what is going on to avoid an issue. Viera are timid by nature, but their training teaches them to control and conquer their fear. It's a good system, I think.

My Balthier has come to get help finding the Reena Talisman. If only I knew how to use it! I think it might be useful to the Viera in general, but Balthier and Fran get to keep it! I am the owner of it, since my tribe is dead and they owned it, so I get to say who gets to keep it! The Viera might need to use it, but Balthier and Fran get it afterwards!

Fran and Myko are in great danger from the Reena-Kaana. I don't want to see either of them get hurt like Mjrn did or even worse: killed and eaten. Fran is strong, but even the strongest Viera will die instantly if bitten in the right spot by a Reena. I don't think Fran is pregnant (despite what Myko wants), so she should be able to fight. Jote says that she hopes her sister can do something. She doesn't want Fran to leave until the situation is taken care of. She says it can't hurt to have another warrior, but I know Jote also really misses having her little sister around all the time. Fran was born a few years before the Reena Campaign. She is actually supposedly one of the driving forces. Sylva wanted her young daughter to live in a Wood where she wasn't always afraid of getting eaten by Reena. Viera are generally more than a match for the fiends these days. In the past, they were threatened, but Viera have gotten that under control.

I caught Jote outside of the village last night. She was just… sitting there. I think she was talking to the Wood. She was right next to a large tree. I think Myko said that is her family's "Life Tree", whatever that means and it's one of the oldest trees in the Wood. Jote was alone, so I approached her. I wanted to make sure she was okay and everything. She says she is very concerned for the Viera, and she's also possibly questioning the seclusion of her people. That's something unsettling. I never thought she'd ever question the way of life of the Viera.
