Entry 2

How long has it been?

How long have I been walking? How long have I been wandering around this forest? How long has it been since I've left the wedding? I don't even know anymore. I've stopped sleeping after that event and I've stopped thinking about-

The days have mixed together and I'm losing the concept of time.

Why did I even jump? That's just STUPID of me! Like really! What was I thinking! Gaaahhhh! I could be back home messing with Ferra and Aegis but noooo! I'm just wandering around these stupid woods and just being miserable! How do people do it? How can they just wander around and go on adventures? It's just stupid!

Nezon. Female. Ninteen year old shoggoth. Daughter of R'hun, spawn of Nyalathotep and adopted daughter of Jorge, Praetor, Ermellion, Bearer of many names and champion of the former chief goddess. She was not a normal girl and she never doubted that. But despite all of that, despite all the chaos and all the contradictions she lived a relatively normal life. Her father spoiled her all her life and ensured that she was happy no matter the cost. Well as close to a normal and happy life as was possible for a shoggoth. He was there for her every milestone, from her first forming, her first 'steps' to her first words. Everything he did was for her and her mother, for their well being and safety. Yet he was not there when they needed him the most he was not there when their home was besieged. When she lost her entire family. When she stood without him at their funeral. And now when she roams the forest alone and lost both physically and mentally.

Nezon suffles along weaving between the trees and bushes not paying attention to her surroundings. She just stares at the undergrowth as she moved along attempting to keep her from thinking but that doesn't last long as she soon notices that the brush had thinned and was replaced by packed dirt.

Nezon: "Huh?"

Nezon looks up and down the road in confusion not knowing where to go.

Nezon: "Oh my gosh... Ohmygosh... OHMYGOSH! Civilisation! Where do I go? -GASP- I need to change!"

She looks around once more for passerbys then bubbles away her adventuring clothes and stands bare in the brush as she looks into a mirror made from her own slime.

Nezon: "What do I  wear, what do I  wear?"

Nezon goes through a metamorphosis slowly changing from outfit to outfit, each one a variation of her daily maid outfit. Each change of dress varies greatly from color and form to Era and inspiration but the telltale white frill remains the same.

Nezon: "Gahhhh! I don't know what to pick!"

???: "I know I'm just a stranger but I quite perferred the second outfit a bit myself."

Nezon shrieks and covers herself up as the young adventurer watches her a few feet away.

Nezon: "What are you doing! Don't you know it's wrong to look at a gril while she's changing?"

The adventurer raises an eyebrow at nezon's reaction as it's not common for a mamono to cover up whe a man compliments them. "Oh? Didn't YOU know that it's quite frowned upon to be in the state of undress while in public? Or has that sipped your mind?"

Nezon starts to steam up slightly as she quickly dons her regular clothes and rushes to the young man pointed finger in tow.

Nezon: "And you could have at least had the comon decency to not look! Why I should... I should tell my... my..."

???: "Your what? Your master? Mother? Father?"

Nezon struggles with her words and tries to think of something witty to reply with but starts to choke up and tear up.

Nezon: "No She's... I... My dad... They're dead and gone... My mom died and my dad... I just want to forget about him."

???: "Woah Woah Woah! Calm down there! I'm sorry there's no way I could have known. I'm sorry to hear that... Don't cry now! I don't know what to do when others... cry..."

The young adventurer kneels down and places his hand on her shoulder rubbing it slightly.

???: "There there? There there? Don't cry now... It's alright. Ol Ponte is here I guess.

Nezon looks up quizzically at the man kneeling before her and brushes his hand off her shoulder.

Nezon: "Sniff. Ol Ponte? That's your name?"

???: "Huh? No! I didn't know what to say... yeah..." The youth rubs the back of his head as he looks away from the girl in front of him. "It's Du Pont. Edouard Dupont... A pleasure to meet you." After working up his courage he reaches out to Nezon and offers to Help her up. She looks him over twice and wonders whether she should, but all hesitation melts away as she looks into his eyes and feels a familiar sense of safety and comfort.

Nezon: "Nezon... My name Is Nezon. Daughter of R'hun and Jo-... R'hun."

Edouard: "Nezon? And you thought that I had a strange name! Well Nezon. It is a peasure to make your aquaitance."

Nezon curtsies as before the two make their wayback to the road

Edouard: "Well Nezon. Where were you going? Perhaps I can help you get there a little faster?"

Nezon: "Honestly... I'm just wandering around, maybe I can go with you anyways? I promise that I won't cause any trouble!" The two reach the road and come accross a single horse open top wagon. -gasp- "Are you a merchant?"

Edouard:  "Hahahaha! Somewhat? But I'm not that good at it honestly."

Nezon without warning jumps on the wagon and reaches down to him offering her hand to help him up.

Nezon: "Well you aren't getting rid of me now! I am quite proficient when it comes to buisness and I'm more than happy to help you in exhange for a ride to town. What do you say? Partner?"

Edouard laughs at Nezon's sudden change in personality not knowing what to make of this girl's steep mood swings.

Edouard: "Well I don't think that I can say no now can I?" He frimly grasps her hand and before he can react she pulls him up and sits him next to her.

 This day seems to have turned out quite well. I made a new friend. A new friend who's a merchant!

 Maybe we can become buisness partners. Maybe more.

 He's a bit scrawny... but he's cute.

 Ohhhhhh! I can't wait to get down to buisness!

The two chat the evening away talking about buisness and many other subjects. The evening sun starts to set as they reach the outskirts of town. The rows of hydrangea bushes looking delectabley beautiful in the twilight.

 Yes. Today is a good day.
