[Bitterblue looks a bit excited when the video starts. She's holding a dark, leather bound book, it's thin, but thick enough that the gold lettering on the spin can be seen.]

It worked this time. I hoped for a book from my memories and I got one.

I didn't think about this before I discovered it on my table, but of course I should have realized this: it's in a different language. I understand it because I did in my memories.

[This is where she looks really excited.]

A whole new language! See-

[She holds up the book and opens to a page. There is a hand painted picture of a castle on it with a word underneath - but not a word recognizable. She flips through other pages showing pictures with singular words underneath. All words that are not readable.]

This is much better than a dagger!

I suspect the book is authored and illustrated by my memory-father. Who we have discussed before as being a sadistic, horrible person.

[serpentinthegarden]

Creepy book authored by psycho father...

[ Anthony winced. ]

Can't be good. Why'd you wish for a book like that??

Strike that. Even better question, have you been able to learn anything from it?

[ashenscipher]

I didn't wish for this book specifically. Just a book from my memories.

Some of the pictures are depictions of the place I lived. There's a general map of the continent. As much as was known of it.

[serpentinthegarden]

Map? That's a hell of a clue.

[ He leaned a little closer to the screen. ]

Hold it up? I'd love a glimpse of where you used to live.

[Bitterblue flips through the book until she gets to the maps. She shows the first one that details the continent.*]

See, not like Italy at all.


[*OOC: Wish I could find a bigger picture, but alas.]

[serpentinthegarden]

Huh. Its an oddly squared-off sort of peninsula isn't it? Never seen anything like that. Very otherworldly.

[ OOC: Its ok, this image works out. ^^ ]

[ashenscipher]

Maybe my memories will include seeing the whole continent at some point.

[serpentinthegarden]

Maybe. You might even remember having been to some of those places. There's bound to have been famous old buildings or landmarks you have actually seen.

[ashenscipher]

My memory father messes with my head so much, I do not know if I will remember visiting, if I do.

Most of the memories I get are hazy. Some are clear. The ones I have away from my father are the clearest. Now that I have more of them, it is easy to see that.

[serpentinthegarden]

You are away from him now. Maybe that means more will come back to you.
