I write this from my garden, hidden in the forest.

Times have become troubled... the other Bicentennials are on to me. They are much smarter than I thought they were, I'll give them that. But this has become about more than just the death of  my family. I must make them truly  see, either by choice...

Or by force.

They have found me numerous times. I must be more careful... Eirealis will prove to be a useful pawn in this game. For now, I shall use her appearance. But the smell will still be a problem. Perhaps, as much as I hate to suggest it, rolling in mud and other earthly substances might cover it. It works in books, right?

Yin and yang. An ancient philosophy that has influenced many things in the world. There was a time when it influenced me.. but that time is no longer. Sun and moon are similar to yin and yang. But the day is enjoyed and never wished to go away, whereas night is ignored. It is time for the moon to rise for a change. And it will not bow down to the sun, no matter how bright its rays.
