It was just days ago that I arrived in Gridania, hoping to leave behind what had happened in Thanalan. The people here seem cheerful and friendly enough, though they seem to not mind my presence, which I am grateful for. The fact that I remain anonymous has given me ample time to reflect on my situation and what I must do. It will be hard to break my own barriers to forge relationships here, but I know I must if I am to survive.

I am happy to have found the Archer's Guild here welcoming. I have always had a fondness for the bow and being able to develop a sound skillset with it has helped me cope with the loneliness I often feel. As I hunt in the woods of the Black Shroud, I feel an inner peace within. When my arrows fly free toward the beasts I know I am making peace with the past, as difficult and painful as that may be. Though, I must admit, I did assist some other adventurers near the Bannock as they were set upon by the foul Bog Yarzons that seem to thrive there, and it made me smile a bit, helping them, even if my contributions were small and perhaps unknown to them.

I will look forward to the days when I can smile outwardly again and put the past behind me. Perhaps the woods will continue to grant me a sense of peace I have been missing. Perhaps....

The days have been busy as I continue my studies at the Archery Guild and I am pleasantly surprised by the development of my skills. The now is starting to feel like an extension of myself now and for that I am glad.Â

While I still wander the woods alone I have made efforts to try and intermingle with the locals. Last night I was awestruck by a Mi'qote who sat upon a lamppost in New Gridania as he was crafting materials. It just struck me as an interesting spot to make goods. And while I was impressed, as he looked down on me, he did not seem quite as impressed by me, for which I understand the sentiment. Perhaps he was simply confused why a stranger would suddenly be in awe of him.Â

I was approached this morning by a young troupe of Gypsies who asked me about joining their group. I politely declined but did have a friendly conversation with one of their chefs, who was kind enough to offer me some fine steaks to help me with rations during my treks into the woods. I also saw many folks who seem pleasant enough around town, but I have yet to take the first step in meeting any of them.Â
