For some reason, each time I start to think of topics to fit the letter "J", the words that comes to mind most often are "Journal" and "Journalling." The 2020 post covered the benefits of journalling. The following year, journalling showcased the physical item rather than the act. Which brings us to 2022. Same word. Different approach.

Like many explorers, the slayers of Darceth record their travels and experiences in a journal. These personal volumes could be shared with a good friend. Deneas' mother, a slayer in her own right, hid her journal to prevent its confiscation by the town elders. She knew that her time on this side of the veil was limited and wanted to leave Deneas the journal as her heritage.
Old Friend,A portent of the future came in a vision and my fate is cast. I ask a boon of you. Please do not take vengeance on those who condemn me to the Goddess’ care. The town is innocent, as is Deneas. I entrust you with my most precious belonging, my daughter. Guide and protect her until she can do so on her own.
Forgive me. I could not accept the gift you offered. Despite our divergent paths, I treasured your friendship and will always do so.

Not everything written needs to be an apology or a poignant farewell. The last entry Deneas put in her journal was the simple statement. Going to brace the dragon in his lair. Goddess, help us all.
