He left them for a moment to the landing site of that island..he would only need to do something and quick. He runs through the small paths leading through mountanous caverns and then goes to a nearby bush. There he opens a camouflaged manhole and climbs down the ladders into the darkness. He lights his torch and looks around carefuly before treadging through the dark tunnel. At the end of this tunnel, he travels to a dead end, ladders leading up to a second manhole. He climbs up and opens it. He has arrived to his old home...

There isn't much left..just the old well standing in its usual place, partly decayed of age.. he looks up to the sky and remembers how well hidden this place was. It was somehow between 2 growing mountains. Altough a very small spot but indeed, not easily found. No other path lead there except the tunnel. The sun would only shine momentarily through the mountains into the camp. And thanks to the small fogs usually at the mountains, it was possible of making camp fires without the trail of smoke revealing the place.

He travels to the ruins of a small stone fortress, surrounded by the area which was usually called the ''The Lair of the Blades''. The fortress itself..he still remembers the name..''Protector of the Ones With No Land''. Mostly in ruins, he travels through the front door and walks into the lower levels of this old fortress. There he finds somekind of vault.

''Still intact..good.'' -he mumbles to himself.

He starts tapping some sections of the brick wall next to the door. After awhile after remembering the code, the vault door opens up. The noise it makes is huge but fortunately the voice can't go far from underground.

He enters the vault and inside there are still old weapons, shields and armor but most of them in rust, barely useable.

''The Archives must be still intact. The rats should have not been able to get in here.'' -he thinks.

He travels abit of further of the vault and notices the shelves of papers. He takes most of them but seems to be only interested on some certain ones. He wipes off the dust and then puts them into the other bag which he took.

After awhile, he then leaves the vault, closing it and leaving the old base. He travels back through the manholes and conceals them. He travels back to his friends, only hoping though that they won't pay too much attention to the other bag he is now carrying.

''They will find use of these.'' -he mumbles. A small smile appears on his face. ''Lots of use..''

*OOC : Sorry I wrote in 3 person so it doesnt actually make up as a journal but I wished to be sure to make an own seperate thread*

You can write it any way you feel works for you T. A journal dont have to exactly be a diary in the sense of "what i did today" written in a book. Narrative is every bit as good, some very interesting IC posts that I've read are in the 3rd person.

Nicely done :)

This is the personal log of Ashal Waynn, member of the Tharbad Watch.

My long time here in Rivendell has made me develop some thoughts. The wound I have now suffered is never going to heal. Everyday I can feel it inside me, as if half of me would be empty and the other half full. No one can describe what that feeling is. Every night I can only see that sword in my dreams. I can somehow feel its presence, as if it would be somewhere near..

My hatred towards Elenuíal is only growing.. I just cannot find anyone else partly responsible to this. If she would have not attacked me at Moria, I would have not suffered this much..besides anyone not able to keep themselves together during that kind of mission surely shouldnt have even come with us..but should I also say the same about myself?

I am having a feeling of being misunderstood..but my whole life has just been full of hatred , suspicion and deceit so theres nothing else to blame. Who could care about a man who kills his own family in hatred.. I am nothing but a fool who thought he could handle the powers he was trifling with..

I will not reveal these feelings to Elrond. He pities Elenuíal more and will only believe her false words of what truely happened in Moria..as for Marlynna, I will be reserved towards her.

I cannot blame them..as now I can only see what kind of monster I have been..

My only goal is now to just return back to Tharbad. But can I serve my lords with this kind of wound...? Only time will tell.

Are we truely a mortal race? Are we punished all of what our ancestors did back in the times of the great empire of Numenor? Has it really come to this? Do we die for nothing?

I can still hear those words coming from that elven woman. Damn how it annoys me. Well she is lucky..being an elf and all that.

I have found this to be rather true though..my spirit has already been lost because of this sword and all that remains in me is my will to fight for the cause I serve.

And what of that shadow..every night when I ride with my horse in these lands, I can feel it following me. Everytime I look back, I know that its there..looking at me, watching. Why should I trust those elves? They didnt trust me..never. Just helped me get back to normal..but only partly..I am not like I used to be. I have never been that when I was a new born child. Immediately when I got born to this world, all I have seen is evil.

And if we humans are already doomed..whats the point..I might aswell just wait for that shadow to come to me and let it merge with me.

Should I travel back to Umbar? To my birth-place? To my birth-home? I had always been one of the enemies of Gondor, but also Umbar. But Umbar is also my home as is Tharbad. I cannot deny that..

I must meet that shadow.

New Journal entry :

A few days ago I had to do my duty and bring a punishment to a man who in my eyes was innocent. It was hard to do, but if I wished my plan to move on, I had to make this sacrifice.

Only by gaining the Mayors trust might I be able to try and change this city, the city who I wish to serve. I am only here to serve the people, not the Mayor. Everyone with a half a brain would have found out themselves while being in that courtroom that that whole trial was a huge cock-up.

But soon, a new age will come. An age of justice, freedom, order and security in this city. But is this all just a fools dream?

I must not give up, I must contact an old friend now, Joel Quilby.

Damnit. I haven't been able to contact Joel Quilby lately. I thought I could handle all of this myself but to no avail. Good thing I left the whole thing though..I really don't trust the Watch anymore. That feeling must be both-sided though.

I do not know is the other thing good news or bad but Joe told me that all of our old leaders are dead. Seems like those bounty hunters were succesful. Luckily my closest friend from those days is safe. Seems like he wasn't high-ranking enough to become a target.

The problem is, what am I going to do with these documents I found from our old home back at Tolfalas awhile ago.. should I give them to the Knights? They would give out a fair price of them.

Bah! Its better that I just keep them to myself. Not that they are so interesting either.

Well, all of my allegiances are off. I'm a free man atlast. Now I can finally just follow my own path and do decisions without outside influence. Though I am not going to go give my services to those *******s at Umbar.

I think I'll just stay here with the more familiar people.

I think I'll go give out these artefacts which the scholar at Rivendell helped in identifying to the Knights..or perhaps the Rangers. Better go just ask them. These things bring out dark magic too much..
