So I hear tell that the war that threatened my home and the White City was won, even though I had little part in the winning. I am glad of it, glad that the Dark Hand was defeated, and that Middle Earth will have a chance at peace.

And yet, I also grieve for all who have been lost, for all who fell, and for the world for whom the echoes of this terrible war will never fully subside. For war and death leave their mark on a world; the place where a man has fallen is forever marred. And perhaps there is not a single league left in our world where at least one has not been slain in this war. The world can never again be as it was. And all the titles and honors bestowed upon me can never assuage the ache for the family and friends I have lost.

But is that not the way with war? Even the victory is bittersweet.

I hope only that my children, if I am ever blessed with any, shall not have to suffer such darkness.

I need your advice. You've been killed by a vampire, right?

I don't know if it's customary to do this or not, but I'm Fiona. I've never had a blog before, so bear with me. Don't have Never had time for it before and no one really cares what I had for lunch. I don't even care as long as it's edible. But seeing as this isn't becoming any less real, I figured I'd introduce myself. I'm originally from Chicago, if that counts for anything. Really I just want to know what you all know about this place. How you got here. How it works. I was told we're trapped, but if we got here, surely we can get back? I'd like to know what I can do to help work that out though. If there's a group working on it or something? I think that's it. Unless there's a tour I should know about?

Where the fuck is this? And why the fuck am I here?

Who do I have to kill to get out of here?

Why do I suddenly remember being a talking horse? I'm pretty sure I was never anything but 100% grade A Homo Sapiens.

Okay, are Amanda and I really the only ones that have weird memories? I've just relieved a fucking fairytale in my head! Hansel and Gretel, seriously? Why not 'die hard'? And couldn't I have had Gretel's point of view? Do the actual witch killing?

Wait! Aren't there two people called like that on this Island?

While I am still only able to speak German at the moment, I am using JARVIS to translate any of my online or text communications so it won't be all German all the time.
