'''Selected Extracts from the Diary of Tears of Amber, Chosen of the Fickle Lady, No Moon Caste'''<br>

'''7th Day of Ascendant Earth, RY 719'''<br>
Having finally had time to put an end to the court of the rakasha that calls itself the Queen of Frost and Snow, I have journeyed there though it has taken longer than I remember. Upon arrival I found my task already completed, the rakasha lay dead and her court lay scattered. Instead I found to my surprise a young casteless, who couldn’t have been more than a season or two exalted. She sat immobile at the foot of a sundered throne, one of the few parts of this waypoint that still stood. She showed no signs of chimera- hood, though from her appearance she quite obviously had some wyld taint to her blood. <br>
Questioning her took sometime, she had suffered some significant ravaging but eventually I got the girls name, Bright Snow and began to piece out what had happened her; The Fae are rarely kind to their offspring. I then set about coaxing what remained of her out, in order to check that I should not just return her exaltation to our lady, with little success. I have concluded that it is best I take me with her, at least as far as a gathering, where we can test her properly and hopefully I will have more progress in rebuilding the girl’s personality tomorrow. <br>
<br>
'''11th Day of Ascendant Earth, RY 719'''<br>
Over the last few days the girl appears to have bonded herself to me, though not of course in any literal sense. Certainly she seems to trust me more and more each passing day and I must admit a fondness for the girl myself. The ravaging has left her innocent and on investigation of various settlements near this bordermarch it appears she has forgotten much of the misery that she has transpired. <br>
<br>
'''3rd Day of Resplendid Earth, RY 719'''<br>
We travel now in haste to and my tests continue. Though it has taken sometime the girl now laps up the teaching of the pact. I think despite her chaos tainted blood she will become a fine upstanding member of the pact and hopefully the Winding Path. Certainly she shows a fascination for creatures great and small but most unusually seems focused on mortals. They fascinate her in a way that I think will make the Wardens, Swords and Stewards disinteresting to her and the Path fascinating. I currently believe that the girl will end up a No Moon like myself [sic] and to be honest nothing would please me more. Soon she will undergo the tests and with that in mind we make our way at all speed to a Gathering intended to be held nearby. <br>
<br>
'''7th Day of Resplendid Earth, RY 719''' <br>
The Gathering was held last night, under the light of the moon. Snow succeeded in the tests and she is now, somewhat surprisingly tattooed as a Changing Moon. She has asked I remain her mentor and though I suspect it would be better for her were I to leave it to another, I haven’t the heart to as she reminds me of a daughter I had a very long time ago. <br>
<br>
'''21st Day of Descending Air, RY 736''' <br>
Snow’s Thousand River Stream project is now in full swing, and I can’t say I wholly approve of the nature of these experiments but I have sworn not to interfere. She seems obsessed with the idea of what she calls a closed system. She intends this to be a short term project, just a few mortal generations. What she is trying to learn or achieve is anyone’s guess. Personally I think she would be better suited to a larger scale project such as… [''Remainder of entry lost – Ed''] <br>
<br>
'''15th Day of Resplendid Fire, RY 754''' <br>
I should probably not record this but I intend no other to read this document, perhaps save Snow. I fear now that I may have done her a grave disservice. It is clear now that the lack of ambition in her project may well have been one of a series of things I overlooked or misread. It is clear now she is over-dependant on me, a possibly fatal flaw in the Chosen of the Argent Madonna. I have always been there for her and that has left her vulnerable. Having met her to discuss things may has gone from bad to worse, she certainly doesn’t understand my pulling away from her and worse still I believe now… No I am sure I and perhaps we are being hunted, more than likely by those accursed Viziers and their elemental pets. I should not have been so careless; certainly I should not have agreed to allow the girl a project so deep in Creation. Alas it is too late for such concerns.<br>
<br>
'''16th Day of Resplendid Fire, RY 754, Last Entry''' <br>
I have attempted to send her away, hurt her feelings in the most profound way possible and led the hunters on a merry chase, away from her. I fear they are closing on me, so I write this and hide it. Preferably so if I do not survive this, it can be found and my motives can be made plain. Snow, I viewed you as the daughter I had lost many many years ago and I feel as if I may have played the role of the mother you never had. Unfortunately I feel perhaps I mothered you too much and this has led to some unfortunate consequences, I feel now it is time for me to go and for you to grow up. To that I end I leave this diary to you, in a place along the trail that you will find in a place only you and I would know I would hide such a thing as valuable as this. I say this because I fear I cannot loose my pursuers, certainly I have tried and my only attempt at ambushing them failed spectacularly as I did not expect an entire circle of Viziers to be present. Tomorrow I shall turn to face them; I suspect strongly I will not survive. So I bequeath this to you, my history and much of your own may it serve you well.
