Dear Diary: Preparation (The Demon)
May 6th 2010 12:01
I've always said that writing is for whimps like the Phoenix, yet here I am. They’re going to come for me soon, the Gods and Goddesses of the Council. And they will try to destroy everything that I am.
This journal must exist so that my words do not lie forgotten, so that the truth of my mission is known to all. This journal will be my legacy if I am defeated.
I do not expect to be defeated, but it is a fate I must at least consider. There are more of them than there are of me, and Keeran will avoid them in open combat. My people lie in ruins, and now the Gods must come to face me. I do not know if I can win.
If I lose this battle, what will happen to my people? Will they forget my message and give in to the Appollinian Gods? Will Keeran lead them to do so, out of sympathy for his memory of the days he spent married to the Phoenix? Perhaps they will be led into the darkness of the Council and their hypocritical ways.
I must fight for my people. Perhaps if I lose they will carry on my fight. I must fight for them to give them strength to carry on, even if I pass.
Slavery is not a crime; if the Gods used it to punish me, why can't my people use it to punish others? And who else has committed crimes against me and my people but the Council and their people? Forget of Dracon’s sins; when I'm done with the rest of them, when they are weakened or gone, I can take him out.
My people will never be safe so long as the Council reigns; I can never trust Keeran, and I fear that he will expose all of my secrets. Treachery is ripe among the Gods; only I have stayed completely true to my cause.
I know the people of other faiths have always seen me as a cruel God, but I hope that the kindness I show my wife, my daughter, and my people will show through. I cannot save my people from their fate now, because Those Who Are would come for me, and then my final battle will be lost.
These are the final days. The Appollinian army closes in around my people. The Council will make sure I see my kingdom fall before they deal with me personally. There is little I can do now; I must focus on spending these precious days with the family I have created, and I can only hope that these will not be the last I have with them.

The Demon or Elric is the main villain of several books in my Jihad series, including the one that I'm rewriting right now. He really feels like a stock character when written about from another PoV and sometimes even from his PoV-I'm hoping that through this Dear Diary project I'll make him more real both in my head and in the heads of my readers.

Thanks for your support. I'll always be chasing my dream, and it might take a while, but I'm confident that someday I'll make my living writing books.
