Damon Sheppard

*The very first page is blank, except for a few words written in the middle of the page*   If lost, please return to Cassandra Sheppard in Waywolf. My memories will be hers.   ----------------------page turn----------------------   *Turning the page shows a detailed portrait of a young lady softly smiling and a single lock of hair being moved behind her ear with her hand. Shyly, the lady on the drawing looks away as even a blush is added in a light grey tone, hiding the freckles a bit. Her hair, long and tied back in a tail fade into nothing at the same height as her shoulders. This drawing, obviously drawn to depict the lady as beautiful as possible, seems to hold high sentimental value to the owner of this journal. The page is slightly worn from holding it many times, and the attention of detail gives the impression the artist took his time to put in the effort he wanted.* A scribble on the side notes: "Cassandra - May I be able to provide the life you deserve"   ----------------------page turn----------------------   *Not a portrait, but a landscape instead shows. Drawn to the very edges of the paper, you have to rotate the book to see it correctly. A singly, muddy road on a rainy day is depicted. A mountain cliff on one side, and a detailed forest on the other. A single wolf sits on the side of the read, its back towards the forest and tail on the ground pointing to the horizon. The beast, it stares at you, as if watching you carefully. Or rather, watching over you.* A scribble in the cloudy sky notes: "My journey begins"   After a few pages, more recent drawings begin   *The page contains a single detailed drawing of a floating fairy trying to eat a single blueberry. His expression seems joyful and happy, the creature enjoying his food to the fullest.* A scribble of writing is besides it saying: "Liam - Fairy. Bit active, but the only sane one"   ----------------------page turn----------------------   *The page is a bit damp, but the lines are still in good shape. It pictures a lizardman standing knee-deep in a swamp, looking around whilst gnawing on an humanoid arm.* A scribble besides it states: "Sauriv - Lizard. Annoyingly curious, but a good soul"   ----------------------page turn----------------------   *This page contains two characters instead of a single. Kneeled down on the floor besides a cat drinking from a bowl sits a Firlbolg with smile on its face. It stares at the cat almost dreamily. * A scrible above them writes: "Hagrid - Firbolg. Very weird in every way, but unable to even harm a fly"   ----------------------page turn----------------------   *When first turning to this page, the bright kind smile of a young woman comes to your attention as seemingly this was the centerpiece of this drawing and most detailed. Furthermore she would look straight at the observer, two cat-like ears sticking from her hair as the whole drawing gives off a calm and happy feeling.* A scribble above the character states: "Tilly - Catfolk. First encounter with this species, but one remembered fondly"   ----------------------page turn----------------------   *The drawing on this page goes from edge to edge, as this page contains a scene instead of a portrait. It's perspective from inside a room, with on either edge bookcases. In the middle, a doorway opened with what looks like a fairy flying through it, exiting the room whilst holding a book with all its might. Besides it stands a human, it's face obscured by the shadow of it's hood, drawn specifically to hide the identity of the character. Holding a scroll in one hand as the character puts it away in his pouch, the other seems to hold a torch with its flames against the bookcase. The drawer already depicted some flames spreading, as if the character has set it on fire on purpose just before leaving.* A scribble is made in an open area in the dark floor at the bottom of the drawing: "No traces"   ----------------------page turn----------------------   *The drawing on this page depicts a mask floating loosely on the page. Two straps on either side float towards the background as some faint detail was drawn covering the mask.* A scrible underneath reads: "Zippy - Aasimar. Do not trust"
