Dear Loxey,

I have been traveling on this path for what seems forever. I passed by some cool rocks and even a river! It was really pretty, but the coolest part of my journey was finding my lovely little pet rat. His name is Jaxey and he has one eye! That makes him a pirate just like me and you! I found him in my shoe after my long night of rest, and he bit me when I picked him up. But it's Okie dokie cause he was just really scared and then I patted his little head and he smiled at me.

We have been traveling together ever since, like the three musketeers looking for our lost friend! Jaxey seems to like riding on my shoulder, like a little parrot! He even squeaks when the road gets too bumpy. Which I think is really sweet, and cute. My feetsies have been hurting after all the walking we have done. The days have been getting longer and a lot warmer since we started traveling to the town, I guess that means the sun really likes us Loxey! The warm light feels like the sun is giving me a hug, except it squeezes a little too hard and makes my arms and face hurt. But it's Okie dokie because the water makes it feel better.

By nows, we have almost made it all the way to the town I last saw my momma at. She left me there when I was an itty bitty girl, momma said it was just to go shopping, but daddy always said momma was an al-cha-moholic. Whatever that means! They used to always yell really really loud, and make me and.

No no no not the headaches again! No please anything but the migraines, please they hurrrtttt! I am sorry Mr. voice I won't think about it anymore just make it end. I will be a good girl please just make the pain go away. I am sorry Mr. Voice! I am sorrryyyyyyy!

Dear Loxey,

Where am I? What happened last night? Ughies, I must have fallen asleeps. I am not really sure where I am, but I must find Sofey. That ways I can have another friend to travel with and live the pirate life with! The walls of this room are really pretty with grey paint. Almost the color of Jaxey's fur, and my pretty grey and white shirt. The floors are the same color as Sofey's hair. The warm reddish-brown of her hair and the cute gap between her teeth make me smile.

There is someone at the door, ahh! I am going to hide under my blanket with you and Jaxey. I hear someone talking, but I can't see who it is. They are talking about me I think.. It sounds familiar though.. Why does the voice sound so familiar? I'll peak my head out just a bit Loxey, and report back to you and Jaxey what happens.

The voice was coming from a girl, her face is a bit blurry and I can't make it out very well. She wore a long dark blue dress with grey accents, the sleeves were short, but her shoulders were covered by a black cloak. The girl had black leggings full of holes and black boots. She stood with two other peoples, both of them were guys. One is super tall, like a tree with the coolest looking hair I have ever seen. It's in these cool braids and it's all different colors! He had a white tunic and a dark black hood as he held a mask in his hand. He spoke in a deep voice that was soothing. And next to him is this super duper short guy! He has a nice face, and warm brown eyes. They kind of match the other guy's skin, but darker! The short guy has messy blonde hair and a smile brighter than the light that came in my room this morning. He wore a suit of grey rusty armor with orange accents. The voices are becoming whispers, they must have seen my blankey rustle. I will update you after I try to talk to them some more, I love you Loxey!

So it turns out they are very nice peoples! The lady with the pretty blue dress was named Saffron, she was very nice although she didn't really seem happy with me. She kept staring at me when I would moves around the room. The tall boy said his name was Zyair. He was really really nice! He kneeled down by my bed when I sat up and softly placed his face on my hand. It felt really nice, and I felt my face get really really hot. The short guy didn't speak much, he was loud and clankey when he moved towards the bed to shake my hand. Zyair introduced him as Atticus, a young knight who tagged along when the princess he was chasing died of to-burr-q-low-sis or however you spell it. Atticus looked upset when Zyair said that, but he nodded sadly. I guess they all have these sad stories in their brains and that's why they are friends.

"We all met in this bar" Zyair said joyfully, his eyes lit up like Jaxey's does when I fed hims. "One year ago today" Atticus added as he fixed his messy hair. Saffron nodded and stood against the wall. "We are the... drum roll please," Zyair said as Atticus and Saffron sighed and started patting their legs. "The Lost Ones!!" Zyair said, throwing himself on the bed. Saffron groaned as she sat on the floor. The blur on her face followed as she sat down. Atticus sat down next to her as I tried to stand after my long nap.

The air tripped me as I tried to walk, luckily Zyair caught me before I fell completely. We walked downstairs to get some snacks and maybe a cup of water, when I saw her. Sofey; my new bestest friend in the whole world! I can finally introduce myselfs to her and we will become pirates together! Of course I ran up to her when Atticus grabbed me.

"Woah, woah, woah. Slow your roll." Atticus yelled in a hushed tone. He looked like a small angry child when he held me back. " Do you not know who that is?" Saffron said, her distorted voice croaked as I shook my head rapidly. I had never seen the girl who was speaking with Sofey. She seemed friendly enough though. I looked back over at Sofey when she somehow disappeared.

"What the heckeroni!" I yelled, I could feel the anger building up in my belly. I could have talked to her, Loxey!! But nooooo these big bullies made me wait here and not go gets her. Zyair sat me down and brought me over an ale from the bar. "You don't wanna mess with her love." His soothing voice washed over me like a warm bath as I wiggled in my chair out of nervousness. Sofey is missing and could be in super duper danger. "Why nots?" I asked in a kinda sad voice. I am her bestest friend in the whole widest world. "But if she is such a bad boy then why is Sofey hanging out withs her."

I could feel Saffron's anger rise up inside of her. Her eyes pierced my soul as a feeling that I have not felt since I was a kid ate me whole. Her... eyes... I remember... that pain. "She is probably under her spell love" Zyair said, bringing my attention away from Saffron's anger. "So she is like a wizard with super evil spells?" I said as I tried to understand what he meant. "No you twit! God why did we even save you!" Saffron yelled as her distorted voice attacked my ears. Atticus sighed as he finished his cup of ale. "Wow Saff can't you just be nice for like two seconds." Atticus said as he turned back towards Zyair and me. I felt tears start to spill down my face after what Saffron said. "It's okay sunflower," Zyair said as he swiped his finger under my eye. "She didn't mean it. And if you believe that Sofey's in danger, you joined the right group of adventurers for the job." "Pinkie Promise" I said as I held my finger up. Zyair smiled and held his pinkie up as he nodded towards Saffron and Atticus to join. Atticus smiled and held his pinkie up with theirs. "C'mon Saf. You know you wanna join in." Atticus said with a gleam in his eyes. "No. No way. I am not risking my life for some random chick. We don't even know anything about this girl. Hell we don't even know how true the tale Planchette is spinning is." "But Saf!!! Pleeaaassse, how can you say no to an adventure!" I began to pout as I stared at her blurry face. "Fiiine!" Saffron groaned. "One word about his and I will gut every single one of you like a fish." Saffron put her finger up as we all interlocked our pinkies as I smiled. Welcome to the lost one's Planchette." Zyair said with a warm smile.

And that's how it started Loxey! We joined a pirate crew to help find our lost shipmate! Ands even though it's gonna be scary and hard. I knows we got this. Okies I got to go to bed now. We start our big adventure in the morning.

Love,

Planchette + Jaxey + The Lost Ones
