Journal of Arealius, Scribe of Port Olni
As I, Arealius the Scribe of Port Olni, sat quietly amidst the bustling celebration, my quill poised above the parchment, I couldn’t help but be drawn into the lively chatter around me. The air was thick with excitement and the voices of my fellow citizens filled the space with a vibrant energy.
I heard Deka Doo say, her voice clear and confident. Others echoed her, affirming their presence and readiness. Jasmine Bernard-Carver’s enthusiastic “ooh i hear ya” brought a smile to my face. It was a simple exchange, yet it spoke volumes about the camaraderie and unity among us.
Nearby, I noticed Eridain gently guiding Kit to kneel beside him, a silent yet powerful gesture of companionship and protection. The scene was a tapestry of interactions, each thread contributing to the rich fabric of our community.
“Tal to one and all,” Jarek SpiritWeaver’s voice boomed, commanding attention. He spoke with a pride that resonated deeply within me. His words painted a vivid picture of Port Olni’s history and the unwavering spirit of its people. As he recounted the city’s founding and the dedication of its inhabitants, I felt a swell of pride in my chest. This was my home, my people.
The celebration was not without its technical hiccups. “I can’t hear,” Stark Winter’s frustration was palpable, echoed by others who struggled with their settings. Yet, even in these moments, there was a sense of community. Dezora offered help, her willingness to help a testament to the supportive nature of our city.
As Jarek continued, his voice softened with emotion. He spoke of Lucy, his beloved companion, and the true soul of Olni. His words were a poignant reminder of the bonds that held us together, even in the face of loss. The applause that followed was heartfelt, a collective expression of gratitude and respect.
“HAIL OLNI!” The shout rang out, a powerful affirmation of our shared identity and strength. I joined in, my voice blending with the others in a chorus of unity.
Suddenly, I felt a playful nudge. It was my companion, Lady Sorana. I chuckled, knowing it was just a light-hearted moment amidst the celebration. It was these small, personal touches that made our gatherings so special.
Jarek’s voice rose again, filled with pride and emotion. “I am the luckiest man ever because of these men who stand beside me with honor and integrity. I couldn’t do this without you,” he declared. His words were met with smiles and nods of agreement. Hanwi’s innocent look and Nicholas Eel’s smile added a touch of warmth to the moment.
Jarek slammed his right fist to his chest in a warrior salute, “Honor and Steel! Lo Rarius Civitatii Olni!” The gesture was mirrored by Isnala and Falconer McKeenan, their voices strong and unwavering. “Honor and Steel! Honor above all!” they echoed.
The celebration reached a crescendo as voices shouted, “HAIL OLNI! Ta Sardar Gor!” The unity and strength of our community were palpable, each shout a testament to our shared pride and dedication.
As the applause and cheers continued, Deka Doo’s voice cut through the noise, “Breathe Jarek.” Lillian A Whyte smiled supportively in his direction, while Hanwi’s playful comment to Ayana, “Your Master can’t breathe! He needs mouth to mouth!” brought laughter and grins all around.
William Carver then stepped forward, his voice carrying a message of gratitude and respect. “Ubar Jarek, I know my Ubar Halvard of Genesian Port is saddened he could not attend tonight. As you know, he is busy keeping our City safe from the Empire of Telnus. I am proud to accept with humility the trophy offered by Port Olni, and may the efforts shown in the games and festival we have enjoyed remind you and us of our great friendship that has stood the test of time. We are honored to be allowed to take part in such a momentous occasion. HAIL OLNI, HAIL GENESIAN PORT!”
As the celebration continued, I reflected on the words and actions of my fellow citizens. Each voice, each gesture, was a testament to the enduring spirit of Port Olni. And as I recorded these moments, I felt a deep sense of connection to my home and my people. This was more than a celebration; it was a living testament to the strength and unity of Port Olni.
