Kæru Dagbók,
I wandered into Asgard's library this afternoon and almost missed dinner if not for the old caretaker who had interrupted me. I was so drawn into the book I was reading I lost track of time. I had sneaked into the locked section of the library. It was obvious nobody had been there in a long time and the books and shelves were covered with thick layers of dust. I thought it was very strange nobody went there because, by the Norns, those books were much more interesting than the things Father makes Thor and I read.
I found a thick volume about magic. And at the rate I'm going I think I will take about a month to study everything in it. It explained a bit about the history and origins of magic but I skipped that part since it got very confusing after a while. I might get back to that when I feel like it. I learnt how to conjure a small green fire and make it dance around my fingers! At first I didn't think it would actually work, but when it did I was so surprised. I mean, I've never gotten beyond the few teleportation spells and the occasional protective spells that Mother taught me. I wouldn't say I've mastered them yet but I'll practice them as often as Thor plays with his Mjolnir.
I've finally found something I like and I'm going to work hard on it. I should have brought that book back with me but that old rat of a caretaker scared me so I dropped the book and left the library in a hurry.
I cannot wait to get hold of it again.
Vinur þinn,
Loki Odinson
