Current(8.11.18):
The past few months had strained his and Eloa's ability to communicate and weather their storm of grief. Dragomir has been acting out, and Eloa has been disappearing nightly, sometimes returning home drunk.
Confronted her tonight.

Their stress, weariness, and lack of desire to actually talk things out drove them to fight, and Eloa beat him to the ground in a fit of rage. Shocked to his core, so left the forest. The portal threw him out into his homeland, the one from which he was exiled 3 years ago.

3.4.18
Did not want to remain so close to the cemetery for a moment longer. Left Charlotte in Garinka's care and took Eloa and Dragomir back to the endless forest.

3.1.18
Two weeks after her birth and subsequent death, buried Angelina in a cemetery by their home in the human world. Was given the gift of a baby book and weighted stuffed bear from Fusion and Ritic, though fairly sure the woman just signed his name for him on the card. Resting with Eloa, tired and grieving.

2.25.18
The time has come to lay Angelina to rest. Worked with Eloa to choose a coffin, headstone, and funeral rites. Feels... hollow. Hasn't eaten much lately, and when no others are around, allows himself to cry. Surprised at how much he was looking forward to having a little child- a person that was a part of him- and surprised at how much he grew to love that future infant. When she was born, she fit into both of his hands, and tiny faint swirls of dark hair had begun to form on her head.
She had the littlest buds of future fangs, a vampire like him; or at least a half vampire. Part of him felt relieved the child never made it- she shouldn't have had to deal with the troubles of being a vampire, especially with no other children like her living around where they are. And he felt guilty for the relief, but there were so many emotions running through him that he wasn't sure what to think.
Has visited her body every night since her birth and subsequent death, sitting next to her temporary cradle in the cellar where her body was kept cool until Eloa was ready to bury her. Talks to her, hums lullabies his mother sang to him, tells her his regrets and the hopes he'd had for her. Just trying to grieve but not sure how.

2.17.18
Angelina.

2.16.18
Garinka's returned. Eloa's pregnancy will be induced tonight and the baby will be born dead. Doesn't know how to feel. Sad. Angry with the world. But mostly just... sad.

1.15.18
The baby's not going to make it. Eloa's elected to end the pregnancy early so she doesn't have to carry a dead child for the next 4 months, but they'll have to wait for Garinka to return before it can happen. Trying to be there for Eloa, assure her that he loves her regardless, but doesn't know what to do with his sadness about the whole ordeal.

9.27.17
Dragomir has elected to name the new dog 'Charlotte'. Okay kid, we'll go with that. She's been a great help in keeping the vampire grounded and in touch with reality, especially when he starts to slip into a PTSD episode. Grateful that the dog takes some of the weight of this off Eloa's shoulders, even more so now that Eloa's dealing with sickness while pregnant. Endlessly appreciative of Eloa and the kindness she gives to him. Every time he wakes up, is reminded of why he loves her.

8.27.17
Was in the human world with Eloa when a horrible night-terror awakened him from sleep. Was in a daze, disoriented as the room seemed to fade in and out of a scene from his memories. Eloa was able to calm him down after a while, but didn't want to go back to sleep. Their friend, Lydia, a nurse, encouraged him to talk to one of the captains of the guard about the memories he kept reliving related to his battles and such. The captain was nice enough, and talked with Aureus and Eloa about perhaps getting him a service animal to help with the panic. Left a while later with Eloa and a weimaraner puppy that had just finished its basic training. A bit unsure of how to handle a dog as his only experience with them had been the hunting dogs he had worked with in his teenage years, but hoping that the dog will help him with his panic.

Oh. My. God. Eloa, you're pregnant???? What???? What are we going to do??? Oh ym god this is awful I never mea-... What? Oh, you mean we're in a stable committed relationship and this isn't some tiny affair we have to hide for fear of scandal? Oh, lol u right, awesome, I'm gonna be a dad fuck yeah.
Inwardly freaking out because what if the kid is a little piece of shit? What if it's a vampire and absolutely wrecks Eloa during the pregnancy? Has little idea of how to handle this, but happy because she's happy. Absolutely enamoured with everything she does, except for the nausea from the pregnancy. Not a fan of that.
What are we going to tell Dragomir and Rhistel

7-20-17
Was resting with Eloa by the den when Fusion walked by in bad shape. Went to retrieve Ritic at her request and stood by as the two dragons quietly talked. Eloa was fairly shaken up by the ordeal, and so took a walk with her throughout the forest to try and pull her mind from it. Eventually played together in De Drinkpla'ats and raced through the forest, kicking their heals and teasing each other until they were too tired to keep running.

7-17-17
Was left to baby sit while Eloa went out for a walk, but listening to Dragomir ramble on and on and on proved to be too much for the vampire. Asked the kid to go to the Ruins and find him a Pink Dandelion for Eloa, which Dragomir happily obliged. Left the den to stretch his legs and go see Fusion. Traded information about her lost children in exchange for a cloak of silk and silver thread. Folded it up and took it back to the den where he found Eloa resting by the tree. Gave her the cloak and lay down beside her, making small talk about the day and weather. Eventually spoke of wanting to leave the forest and the two of them agreed that they'd like to take a small vacation somewhere. Clear their heads.

7-10-17
Awoke very hungry, but still in too much pain from the burns to go on a successful hunt. Walked down to the pond to drink some water to fill his stomach and stave off the hunger for a bit. Washed his burns and rested in the pond for a while before walking back to Eloa's den. Stood there for a while before deciding against it. Didn't want to lose himself to hunger and hurt Dragomir, so walked a bit farther to his own den. Some of it had caved it, but it would do for now. His father had dug it out who knows how many years ago, but he was glad it held up for the most part.

7-7-17
Currently hanging out at the mouth of Eloa's den under the lean-to she built, resting in a potion-induced stupor and waiting for sundown to come, Dragomir at his side. Eloa had helped distract him from memories of the prison with her potions, and he had settled into a routine of sleeping during the late night and early morning, waking to converse with Eloa and Dragomir until evening, then taking walks during the night to the creek to bathe.

6-15-17
Escaped the confines of the prison with his cellmate. The cellmate broke their leg during the escape, and Aureus killed them to drink their blood, giving himself enough energy to run the last few miles to the portal. Was thrown out of the portal in the middle of the pond, bleeding out on the banks before Eloa found him some time later. Cared for by her and taken back to her den. Still in a state of panic, but trying to keep himself calm, using dry humour to deflect the conversations.

4-6-17
Was resting in the castle with Eloa when the ambush came from nowhere. Parts of the castle crumbled from the attack, and falling rubble knocked him unconscious as he pulled Eloa beneath his body to protect her from the falling stones. She was found by a servant who was fleeing the scene of the attack and cared for until she could return to the Endless Forest. Aureus was taken by the enemy as a prisoner of war.

1-11-17
Had a snowball fight with Eloa in the human world before sitting with her in the castle and drinking hot chocolate. Listening to soldiers talk quietly about their next assignment where they were to be sent to the front lines in a war.

1-2-17
Visited Eloa again, full of energy and wanting to have an adventure. Took her to the human world and gave her a tour of the castle before showing her the pagan village nearby, returning to the castle for the night. Showed her a room he had filled with treasures, a journal inside sharing most of his life before he came to the forest.

12-31-16
Gave Eloa her late Christmas gift of a bell necklace. "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings." Heard the phrase and immediately thought of her; had his friend charm the necklace so that when the bell rang, it gave off a calming energy. Rested with her and Dragomir in the den for a while before returning to the human world.

12-25-16
Celebrated Christmas by taking Eloa to his hometown. Drank, ate, danced, sang- it was wonderful. Visited the royal gardens and gave her flowers, but was soon attacked for trespassing. Wounded, but escaped with his life. Eloa escorted him back to the portal and he received medical care. Rested with her that night in the human world until she left for the forest again. Stayed behind.

11-27-16
Had not been feeding lately. Still coming to terms with the fact that in order to live, he must kill (y'know, the usual emo vampire shit). As a result of his self-starvation, he triggered his Instincts, and his vampirism took over. Stalked the birch forest in search of prey and found it in the form of rabbits and other small creatures, but it was not enough to sate him. Eloa had been nearby and called out to him, and in his feral state, he charged her, chasing her down and nearly drinking her dry if it hadn't been for Dragomir's valiant help. Was knocked unconscious by Eloa, and lay in the snow until Ritic came to his aid, taking him to the human world.
