Writewraiths in Middle Earth II: The Kingdom Rebuilt

"And I'm sorry if I sounded angry. I wasn't, you know." Seeing Star turn to her journal, I started writing in mine.

FROM THE JOURNAL OF EMPRESS CALIEN

Sometimes, I still think and speak like a Mundane Earther. Five years ago, I thought that the effects of my visit to Mundane Earth wouldn't show, by now. Yes, I believed they would someday disappear entirely. After all, I'm not really from Mundane Earth. And Katharine Welsh and I, though we are sometimes called "twins," are very different people.

In reality, I'm only a few years younger than the hobbit Primrose Brandybuck, whose children are both grown. Kathie's twenty-one. Yet while I was in Mundane Earth, I fully believed that I was her. I thought that if I could forget who I was completely, I would surely forget Mundane Earth as well.

I was wrong. There is something foreign in me now, which will never go away. Being in another world changes you forever, as does becoming someone else. That's basically what I did when Kathie and I switched worlds. In a way, I truly WAS her, and she was me.

Now that she and I are in the same world, for the first time, I might actually meet her. Since she's in Caellyn, we probably WILL see each other. How odd that will be -- to meet the person I once believed myself to be!

I looked over what I had written, and closed the journal.

"Fimbren, before we get to Faith's kingdom, I must tell you more about the Writewraiths, Thirelind, and the Kin. First, do you know of the 'Kin'?"
