"Oct. 12, 1973

After my extended research on the Relics of Irene, I have found that there are only a few still existent today. Their existence is merely rumored, which brings no guarantee that what I am trying to achieve is even possible in the first place. I have purchased many books in order to extend my research and have concluded the following: the only relic of Irene within my grasp is Esmund's Relic, also known as the Ro'mave Relic. The legend states that when Lady Irene died, she fused all her relics into one and entrusted them to Sir Garroth, though historians argue the truthfulness of said thing. I however have reason to believe that this is true. For if there were anywhere this "Ro'mave Relic" could be, it would be at the hands of a Ro'mave Family with European Heritage. Of course, the odds of me coming across the exact Ro'maves I am searching for are quite slim.

The obvious hopelessness of even thinking of possessing the Ro'mave Relic aside, these are my findings on its power. As previously mentioned, the Ro'mave Relic would be an amalgamation of all of the Relics with the Power of Irene, which would mean it comes with all the powers of the relics it contains. Inherently, it would mean unlimited, raw, chaotic energy. This should allow me to hold ULTIMATE POWER. This brings me the opportunity to finally best that incompetent man. To put him to shame as I've always desired! I would live without worry finally knowing I can best Henry Emily at in his own craft! ... All the power one could desire in the shape of a heart pendant..."

I have come across an astonishing new discovery! After coding a few things for businessman and college acquaintance Zane Ro'mave, I met up with him in his personal office. Of course, there are many Ro'maves across the U.S., much less the entire world. However, the following evidence has led me to deduce that THIS Ro'mave family is exactly the one I was looking for:

When I went to meet up with Zane Ro'mave to discuss their database's security, I happened to come across his daughter. She was about the age of Micheal and as bubbly as Elizabeth. She was quite a clever girl too. I recall having seen her in the diner before, however, I could have never guessed she was Zane's daughter. She came into his office almost how Elizabeth comes to mine sometimes; interrupting the work of her father in her innocent wish to be with him. When I saw her enter and wrap her arms around his neck in embrace, I noticed the following things in the order listed: Her ears and tail (indicating that her mother was a Meif'wa), her raven black hair that almost seemed to be a deep purple (no no, it was a very dark purple for sure), her cat-like yellow eyes (another Meif'wa indicator) and finally a shiny golden heart charm she sported on her wrist. Upon closer inspection (by which I mean staring at it as he scolded her for interrupting our meeting) I found it was actually a pendant. It seemed to glow as if polished to be bright enough to hurt my eyes. One would have to see it to believe it; I can testify that she had the real Ro'mave Relic in her possession. If true, this could change the course of it all. It would pave the path to a new life for me... I must commence preparations for the harnessing of this power without harming her or raising suspicion. Perhaps I could move Micheal to her school? Or could offer her father some type of voucher for her to visit the diner more? I must find a Perfect arrangement for my plan to work smoothly.."
