Faire Agarwen Life Record " Third Marking " Tenth Kulniir " " It feels like years since we were forced into hiding . I dare not write where we stay for fear of endangering the good people of this house should this diary be discovered . We have been shown a kindness by this family once known to the Snow Prince . Even in death his great influence has ensured our safety . We were separated from many of our kin along the road when it became increasingly difficult to travel discreetly in our numbers . We were forced to go our separate ways and travel only at night . I have heard no news of where the others may have gone and fear I never shall . Our lives are forever changed . " Seventy Marking " Tenth Kulniir " " In the night I find it difficult not to focus on times past . There are moments in my rest when I still hear the laughing of young ones at play in the valley . Other times I see the pale fleckes of happy moments which were once so common in the land of the Snow Elves . I try not to dwell on these memories too long . Often the surroundings make it impossible to dwell on any happiness . We have been locked together in such close quarters for so long . We grow tired of each others company . Even the strongest of us have faltered , with nothing to do but think on what is lost . I wake each day to forlorn faces and am reminded of where we are and all we have left behind . We are all yearning for a day when we can emerge from hiding and walk freely in the light once more , but I fear we are losing all hope that such a day will even come . " Tenth Marking " Tenth Kulniir " " I tire of the tears of women and children . My own have run dry . The men have begun to look upon us as if we are all weak , yet we have survived the same trials as they . I cannot bring myself to think on the numbers we lost in battle , yet I cannot force the images of my own losses from my mind and now , in a time when our people should be banding together in feels , we are drifting apart . The Nord s have truly won . Our once great pride and unity are shattered . If we lose hope now we will never survive . Today many , myself included , have tried to speak out in voices of reason . There can be no hope without talk of our future . We can make no difference if our spirits remain broken . " Eighteenth Marking " Tenth Kulniir " " We know that we can never again be the Snow Elves and live freely . In that world we will forever be in hiding in one form or another , but there is no reason we cannot live life with the sun and the wind against our skin . There are those here who are friends to us and plan to help us once the threat has ended . We know now to survive , we must be born anew outside . We will appear . We belong here inside . We will carry our truth and our scars .
