We’re better than they are
I suppose I don’t know much to say of this past week, and the end of the life I was ready to begin living on my own accord. Be careful what you wish for, as they say...
Finally having the freedom I desperately craved, I didn’t get far before the cruelty of time found me. I’m only just learning who’s to blame and of the spell that took away my life. However, we are to live independently here, with a job and everything. I’ve not had to work for anything in a thousand years, and now I must, almost as a human does. I never imagined that would be so hard.
I came here with nothing, and that was more frightening than I’ll ever let anyone know. My brothers were nowhere to be found, I was forced to make my own way in this new world. Good thing I was never much for damseling.
Sage D’Aubigne: our district officer here in the Clarion Loess District where I first found a semblance of the life I had been accustomed. He has found my company of real interest, often asking of my past, of how I came to be a vampire from magic alone. I believe he has become rather fond of me these last few days, and I of him. He is quite charming and brilliant, there is little of the happenings here he does not know. His features are especially handsome too, I must admit. I don’t mind having his companionship to pass the lonely days without my family. Sage has allowed me any job I want here, and I have found his influence is extraordinarily powerful here, moreso than I expected when I first sought him out.
I told him I wanted to work alongside him, and I wanted the museum. I was granted both. My job is as the curator of the museum in this district, where Sage carefully selects each exhibit and artifact to display. We will see each other quite often, and I do expect he’ll continue to listen to my opinions and suggestions more and more as the days pass.
My life of comfort is restored, and the Mikaelson name will once again hold the power it once did. However, I have long since tired of the constant battles, so we will be known for our intellect and authority, not for our violence and ability to induce fear.
I’ve had enough of kings fighting kings. It is time for a queen.
