The Light of Meridian

There's no easy way to say this, girls, but...I'm leaving the Inn.

It's not permanent; Master Skywalker wishes me to move to the Jedi Temple in Albion until I finish the Trials. After they've been completed, I'll come back.

Until then...I'll miss you all.

[locked to Hay Lin]
I hate doing this, especially so soon after we've figured out our feelings for each other. But it's the best way for me to continue my training.

Let me know if when you find Tatum, then I'll finagle some time off and we can all sit down and talk together.

You'll always be in my heart, Hay Lin. I love you.

Hey, Ahsoka?

You want to hang out sometime, maybe have ice cream sodas or something?

Happy birthday, girl! Here's to making it through another year!

I just wanted to alert you to the presence of another threat in the Digital World.

Her name is Miranda, and she is a shapeshifter from my world of Meridian. Her natural form appears to be that of a giant, black spider but most of the time she stays in the shape of a thirteen year-old girl. She is also a skilled magician, particularly in casting illusions. The Adult form of her partner is a Dokugumon.

For the past month I have been harassed over the comm system by an anonymous stalker, who I know now to be Miranda. Yesterday she succeeded in luring me out of the Hinata Inn and into a trap that she and another Tamer had rigged. They intended to strip me of my powers, the Heart of Meridian. Fortunately I was saved by the intervention of Caleb who was brought back to the Digital World by Yggdrasil.

I don't know the name of the Tamer that Miranda has allied with, just that she is partnered to a Black Plotmon and appears to have knowledge of explosives. I'm convinced she was the one who rigged a wall in my apartment to blow, as well as several smaller explosions designed to direct me into their trap. I wouldn't be surprised of they've allied themselves with any of the other hostile groups we have around here.

Hay Lin, Will, Irma and Taranee...You guys mean so much to me...I don't know how I would have even been able to stand up to Phobos if it wasn't for all of you. Literally, you girls saved my life more than once! and I can never repay you for that.

Cornelia...you've been my best friend for practically forever. I love you with all of my heart.

Caleb...I know I can't go back and undo the damage to Meridian that my brother did. And whatever thanks I have to offer for leading the fight for our world and helping Cornelia and the other girls will never be enough. I'm honored to call you "friend".

Matt and Matthew...you rock, both of you. I couldn't have chosen a better boyfriend for Will (both versions of her). And you'd better continue to treat her right or I'll port over from Meridian and kick your butt.

Lillian...I know you're probably overwhelmed learning about your powers and everything. I promise that I'll do everything I can to help you figure them out. Just remember, a princess can fight for her world as well as a prince or a knight can.

Chris...it's nice to know that in the future the Earth is going to be protected by a warrior as fine as you. Don't worry about what happened with Phobos and Cedric before you came here. Everyone's allowed a few off days, and you're going to return to Heatherfield after this a stronger warrior. We're all proud of you, Chris.

Well, looks like things are slowly getting back to normal around here. Now all we have to deal with is the fallout from everything.

Fillmore, need help with damage control?

[locked to TARDIS crew]
Ryo, because of the virus Chien decided to shut Brewfest down early. So it's safe for you and the rest of the TARDIS group to return to the Inn, whenever you're ready. And we really need some more sane people around here...

I hope you don't mind my asking, but...what kind of spell was that that you had me read during the battle against Doom? I know it wasn't Meridian-based magic by a long shot. But it felt somewhat similar, if...older.

So, just for the hell of it I decided to try folding to Heatherfield, to surprise the girls. Only I didn't wind up in Heatherfield. Or anywhere else on Earth. Or Meridian. Or Kandrakar. Or even Echo, for that matter.

Plotmon says I'm in the Digital World, and that I've been summoned to help save it. Just when I thought my life couldn't get any weirder.

Well, at least it's a change from having to be rescued all the time.

Went to the Nexus and got some drawing done there today. For some reason, I kept drawing places from Heatherfield - the school, Hay Lin's family's restaurant, my old house.

Still no sign of Caleb or Vathek, although I did meet some new people in the Nexus. Saw some people I had met before too, including Mickey and Sora. Mickey's such a dear little soul; it's difficult not to feel at least a little bit happy around him. He did seem kind of tired though, like he hadn't been getting enough sleep.

Sora told me something interesting, that the worlds destroyed by the Heartless eventually are restored. Hopefully this means Meridian, too. I was unable to find out how that happened, exactly, or how long it will take. It could very well be that Meridian will not be restored until after I am gone.

In any case, I am slowly getting settled in here. Maybe I can find a job or something to occupy my time when I'm not sleeping or visiting the Nexus.
