Chapter 1.4: 547 Days Onward

by Tiffany Suvans

Having discovered about my other half of the family, Enrique and Luis, it was a huge event for my life. It was like the missing piece that I never knew I was looking for. I felt complete. Even though, the issue between mother and father may or may not be resolved. I still feel like I have been given this chance. To be with them. It may not be the whole thing but we're still family. Luis is just the cute brother I could ask for. Still sneaky little runt but is cute. Father, I have no good words to decribe but I hope he does work on himself better.
 
We went on side quests from here and there to be earning more money for the castle and for self investment, too. We hope for the castle to flourish as much as it can.
 
I write to Father Enrique twice a month. Asking how he is or just telling him about all this adventures I had or we had, with Luis. I visited the orphange. They're all good kids. I help in regrowing back the vineyard and hopefully, it could serve once more for this family to prosper. With Rose's suervising, we had a kickstart in the brewey but we only distributed as a neighborhood product. I helped in getting rid of Father Enrique's debt. Gosh, that the only times I wished he wasn't a wimp of a father. I feel bad Luis took all this burden when he was a kid. It must have really been difficult. I don't hold anything against Mother Emily. I think I would also have done the same. Mom would have struggled more in just keeping it together so I understood why she had to leave. I just feel sad about Luis, I'll do my best to be the older sister he needs.
 
Aside from family stuff, I keep up to continue training my body and sparring with luis, swordsmanship, archery, studying books of various topics (plants, healing and medicines, arcane, magic, religion, deities, ancient history, races and culture of different places in chiaro scuro, weapons, poisons in luis poison kit box). I work on keeping my stance and being stealthy to soften my footsteps and to quickly hide. I find it useful especially for spying. I put aside my musical instruments. They help me keep calm but with so much going on, I think I should keep moving around.
 
For a year, I went to this wizardry school. I've always wanted to learn more about the arcane. I'm excited to be able to cast spells someday. It would be so cool. I couldn't practically stay to finish studies so I dropped out after and went back to the Flightless Raven. I'm sure I'll come back again to really finish school.
