Italics is Julia's entries.

Normal type is Ceannon's.

I only just noticed a rather curious thing. There seems to be...something...attached to my egg. No, attached is not the word. Linked. Bonded. It looks like a brooch, or some other kind of jewelry, but it floats around the egg and it seems strangely alive. The jewel in it glows. Whenever I draw near the egg it lands on top of it, almost protectively, like a guardian. Or am I just imagining it?

I have found a nice place to make a temporary home, or some kind of shelter at least. There's an isolated beach bordering the north of a large lake. I hear tell it's known as the Tuatha'Ri Lake, and this beach known as the Chai'en. Some grand mountains shadow the place, and it's quite grand indeed. I constructed an ersatz shelter in the brush further inland and made a little nest for the egg. It's cozier than I'd ever imagined.

I've decided that I am going to build a house on the grassland between the HQ and the Loka Nei. I went to the forest today with my egg and chopped down some wood (being careful not to let it fall on the egg, of course) for use in making it. I don't know what I'll do for furniture; perhaps I'll make that out of wood as well. It'll be a fun project, albeit a hard one. I went back to HQ to relax from the strenuous work and write here.

I'll make a room for myself, and a little nest in it for the egg, and a spare room for when the egg hatches. I'll make a small room for a privy, and another for a kitchen/dining room/living room. A cozy little affair with four rooms. Nothing too exravagant necessary.

I'm dictating to Julia right now, because I can't write yet. So I tell her what to write in this journal thing and she writes it with squiggly marks. I don't know what the squiggly marks mean. Anyway, I finally hatched out of that stuffy egg, and Julia finished building the log cabin for us. I sleep in my own bed, even though it's too big for me. It's made for an adult Pae'il. I can't believe I'll ever be that big, but Julia says I will and Julia knows everything.

She's trying to teach me how to read the squiggly marks. She wants me to know how to read my name. She showed me the first squiggly mark in my name. It's like a biiiig curve, and it can make a 's' sound like in my name or a 'c' sound like in cantata or clarinet. Since I like music so much Julia taught me about things like cantata and clarinet. It's very interesting. She wants me to be able to read about music.

I can read lots better now! I can read most words, but not big long ones like 'important' or 'indescribable.' And I can read some music too! Julia gives me songbooks and I can sing the easy songs just by looking at the notes. The notes look like spots with sticks coming out of them. And they're all lined up on this ladder thing called a staff. Julia's teaching me how to write too. I'm writing the shortest words in this diary entry, like 'I' and 'big' and 'the.' But the ones I write are a lot sloppier than the ones Julia writes.

Oh yeah, so Jiro and I started glowing all of a sudden! It was so weird! We were talking in the headquarters and we just started glowing like stars, and of course I sang about it. Julia likes the song. I wonder why I'm glowing. I hope Jiro and I glow forever. He looks so pretty when he's glowing.
