Chapter 17 Ringbearer Journals part 1

Orko headed into the forest. He was looking around. He found another hollow tree. Inside was an old book like the last time he found a hollow tree. Orko also found a hole in a rock and found another old book there. In a couple of more places Orko found two more old books. "I wonder where these came from? But it seems awfully familiar." Orko said. He brought the books from the palace. He discovered they had the same protection charm as Azron's own journal.

Orko began to clean off the dirt. "This journal belongs to Foosabella," Orko said once the first book was cleaned. "This journal belongs to Ero Dee," he said once the second book was cleaned. "This journal is Vana's," he said after cleaning off the third book. "This one is Masde's," he said cleaning off the fourth and final book. "These are the journals of the ringbearers." he said. "I can't believe I found the other four ringbearers' journals," he said.

"What is going on in here Orko? You missed lunch," Man at arms said bringing in a plate of food that was for Orko.

"Sorry Man at arms, I have been busy with these," Orko said showing the books. "I found these books in the same part of the woods where I found Azron's journal that I read a few months back," he said. "I still have it right there on that empty shelf it is the only book on that shelf I had been meaning to fill," he said.

"Yes I remember that book you spent a long time reading to learn from your first predecessor's past," Man at arms said. "By the way how many ringbearers have there been before you might I ask?" he asked.

"After Azron there were four more who had this mark, so five all together," Orko answered.

"I see," Man at arms said.

"These are the journals of the other ringbearers," Orko said. "This one belonged the Foosabella, she went on the first ever sorcerer's quest and the first Trollan to get a mage emblem," he said. "This one belonged to Ero Dee one of the only song mages to complete the sorcerer's quest." he said. "This one belonged to Vana who was able to make friends anywhere," he said. "This one belonged to Masde who's kindness was the stuff of legend," he said.

"So you managed to find the other four journals," Man at arms said. "I suppose you are going to read them now aren't you?" he asked.

"Yes," Orko said. "So you won't see much of me for the next few days, I will be busy in here," he said.

"I know I will let the king and queen know it might be a while before you do any magic tricks or funny stunts for them," Man at arms said.

"Thank you," Orko said.

"Here is your lunch," Man at arms said. "I think you might be able to understand what is written better on a full stomach," he said.

"Thank you again," Orko said.

Then Man at arms left Orko alone. Orko decided to go in order of which the ringbearers came to read their journals. So he was going to start with Foosabella.

"Okay Foosabella let's see what you went through," Orko said. Then he opened the book.

Things haven't been easy for a long time. War has been going on Trolla for years since Azron disappeared for exile on Eternia. Trollan against Trollan it is madness. I don't know what to do. I am only 16 now and I fear things will only take a turn for the worst.

Trollans were fighting and it was brutal. Then Foosabella's village was destroy and her parents, brother and sister were killed. Foosabella managed to escape with just her journal and wand.

It has been three days since I escaped the destruction of my village. I now no longer have parents, a brother or a sister. I am alone now in all of Trolla. I decided to head out to the Star Tree and talk to it. Maybe it might be able to help me find a way to end this cursed war.
