Diary Entry, Seventeenth of October

*Biara Dayfire wrote in her diary as soon as she got home propping herself up in her bed and eventually falling asleep beside it. The open page of the book has an entry as well as a variety of hearts drawn all around the words. She sleeps with a contented smile on her face.*

Well Diary, what can I say, except to say that I am ecstatic? I have not felt so cheerful in a very long time. Everything is right with the world, everything is perfect. Why you might ask? Because Aeranor Runesong has finally made me feel that he thinks I'm worthy enough to stand beside him. Our conversation last evening was beyond my wildest dreams and fondest hopes.

He told me he still thought I was beautiful. He told me that he respected me for my power, and that I was wise as well as lovely. He even complimented the color of my eyes! To hear such words from him...from ANYONE, was so uplifting. It has been so long since anyone looked at me in such a way, or thought that I was worthy enough to be deserving of such a compliment. The most amazing thing about this is that it was so unexpected. I did not dream that he would say such things to me, or that I would even see him again since his campaign against the alliance has kept him very busy.

Aeranor even leapt to my defense when foul Kaldorei druids attempted to assassinate me in the city. He drew his bow and fired arrow after arrow at them, heedless of his own safety. I am very thankful that he was not injured during the fierce fighting. It made my heart sing to have him there beside me, fighting back to back with him. It was as if that was where I always belonged, side by side in the thick of battle with my beloved.

And love him I do. I even told him as much. He does not return this feeling, and I did not dare to hope that he would, but he did tell me that he was fond of me, and that he was impressed with the changes I've made. He believes that I've done much good in the world, and that I am far less reckless than I once was. He thinks I've grown some, and I hope that I can continue to convince him of this. I even told him my deepest secrets...the reasons why I had that altercation with Kyliska. He was accepting of them all, and impressed that I would place such trust in him. How could I not, when I would do anything for him?

I do not know what the future will hold, but Aeranor and I have decided to begin anew, as if the past had never happened. We will go back to that day at my father's statue, back to the beginning where we can have a chance to be whatever our potential allows us to be. Potential. An interesting word and one used in magical studies.

There is magic in love I think, a different kind of magic. I go now to rest and shall awaken fresh and excited by the new potential in this world.
