I´ve been at a doctor today, and guess what he told me: I´ve a slight concussion. Well, that explains the headaches and why I´m feeling dizzy sometimes.
He looked at me very sternly and said: “No stress!”
As if he knew I wouldn´t take his advice. Well, call me unreasonable, but I don´t have time to waste laying around in my bed and recovering.
Just have to make sure I don´t climb or jump when being dizzy.
Don´t tell my mother.
I sat in my Relto in the morning and counted my kortee´nea, my blank books. I have 14 of them, enough for the time being, I suppose.
Then I started to translate the book of commentary on my own (still don´t have a translator yet).
Progress is really slow, my D´ni isn´t very good, and many words I don´t know.
I´ve managed to find out the name of the age the book was written about, though: Tufolehn.
The book is quite interesting: not only did the author – a member of the guild of writers, but not the writer of the age itself – write about the age itself, but also – and this is even more interesting – how it was written. This is more valuable then I´ve first thought!
The name of the writer of the age seems to have been Anesh, and the way the other guy, Tumak, writes about him, makes me think, he was quite respected in the writers guild.
No ink yet … but something else

I still didn´t manage to get ink… the few houses of ink makers I found (only 2, in one of the higher districts) were empty, no signs of “relehm” there.
But I found another thing which will hopefully help me a lot learning the Art: a book of commentary, 200+ pages, all written in D´ni, of course. The age it belongs to I couldn´t find, though.
I´ll need the help of a really skilled translator now – any volunteers? No payment, but the warm feeling of having helped a promising young writer?
I´ll go for another “treasure hunt” today in the afternoon. If anyone looks for me, I´ll be in the city proper.
