Chapter 115: Chapter 113: The sunset is orange

Dear Diary,

Today was a strange and confusing day. My mother told me that she is sending me to the city to attend the magic academy and become an enchantress. But I don't want to be an enchantress! I want to be an archer, like my father. I don't understand why my mother is making me do this. I have always hated magic. It's too complicated and doesn't make any sense to me.

I tried to explain my feelings to my mother, but she just brushed them aside. She said that being an enchantress is a great honor and will bring prosperity to our family. But I don't care about any of that. I just want to do what makes me happy.

I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm being forced down a path that I don't want to follow. I wish I could just run away and start a new life as an adventurer on my own. But I know that's not possible. I have no money except for what she provides me with. I will have to go to the city and attend the magic academy.

I just hope that somehow I can find a way to be happy and follow my true passions.

Maybe she won’t notice if I take father’s old bow out of the attic before I go.

Sincerely,

Yours truly
