WRITTEN REPORT

I don't think I ever have a goal when I wander around on 'patrol.' This area has proven itself to be relatively safe, something I'm thankful for, but also something that is a bit... unnerving. While I have trouble describing the exact feeling, I always feel as though there must be something lurking just past the border. That's why I go on so many walks and why I feel the need to patrol even while not patrolling, I suppose. I wonder sometimes if anyone else notices. I'll be on a walk, minding my own business, but every sound or unusual flash of leaf is warrant to some sort of search. I'm aware that this isn't... normal behavior, but I don't feel it's progressed far enough for me bring it up to anyone. Even if it had, who would I speak to about it? Vale? Haven't I worried her enough, between being swept to this life after throwing myself on a boat? Bex? And threaten the balance we were supposed to hold as co-leaders? No, there isn't anyone I feel I can turn to. But I will bear it as I have bore everything else, I suppose. On my own.

I was walking along the old Sun Haven border when I heard an unfamiliar voice, along with August's. That brought a smile to my face. August was a good, kind boy and if there was anything I was happy about after this merge, it was his presence being more frequent here. I arrived beside the boy and looked towards the girl who spoke about being a former Sun Haven member. She seemed kind enough and didn't seem to have any sort of ill intent. Just returning home. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Tena. My name is Clarence Aston. Recently Sun Haven and Ascendants merged to form Elysium and our acceptance of members works a bit differently than it once did. I will grant you permission to stay in the territory as a new comer, but you will have to be accepted as a full member at your first meeting. Our territory is a bit different now, so if you'd like a tour or some directions, I'd be more than happy to provide them," I explained, trying to be as clear as possible. There had been a few members returning that had missed the merge and oftentimes they were confused, so I found it best to give as much information as possible right away.
