GOAL!

June 23, 2006

It has been confirmed that my fears of these past few days were just the spawn of my paranoia and instinctive distrust of authority. I am free for the next week, and my days as a squire have been terminated with no problems. I give thanks to my liege lords. You have risen a notch in my book.

This is not to say, however, that this day has gone without a hitch. The Witch of the Books has chosen, once again, to show me the ugly face underneath the pleasant facade. Her reactions/behavior towards me contradict the wonderful image she seems to have conjured for one of my friends. I have, however, conferred with my other fellow Servants of the High People, and I have confirmed that the Witch really is wicked. Could it be that she has bewitched my friend? Or does my friend simply have a powerful charm of amulet that renders the wicked Witch helpless as a puppy. That question, sadly, seems to have no answer immediately at hand.

I will leave tonight, a squire on his pony. When I return, it will be as a true Servant. The question now is, will I be content being a Servant? That is yet to be determined.
