PARADISA LOST

Does anyone want some bamya? I made it in the kitchen after I shooed off some of the cook...things that are down there. They kept wanting to make it themselves, but I told them I could do it, if I could figure out the thing called the stove. I almost burned the okra when I attempted to make it, but it turned out alright.

I also made some date candy, for lack of a better name. I made lots, so anyone can have some. Master, you should come and try some! I'll leave a bowl full in front of your door.

Other than that, not much has been going on. The meanie castle has been keeping the staircase I use to get to the library from me, always moving it! So I have to take the long way down. But I don't mind; I love the books they have!

Well, the dance was wonderful, to say the least! I had a fun time. Master and Yami looked nice, too. My dress was very lovely~ thank you, castle!

This place is so strange! Everytime I try to find Master Mahaado's room again, I can't! I wonder why? Perhaps this castle is mad at me? I wouldn't like that. I've heard of the people who get locked in their room...

Dear Castle,

Please don't hide Master's room from me. It's not very nice, and I really don't want to get mad at you. Please let me find my way to the library, too!

[Little squiggly people are drawn at the bottom of the page- Mana in her dress she wore for the measquerade, Mahaado and Yami as Mana thought they looked, and a few people she had spotted that were pretty. They're not very well drawn, and more like stick figures than anything else.]

Hmm. It seems everyone here is into something called 'Valentine's Day'. What's that? And I found out that there's a party, too! That's exciting. I love to meet new people!

Speaking of new people, I've already met one! His name is Mokuba, and he seems nice.

And I found Master Mahaado, too. Well, not really found him found him...this place is too huge to find anybody! I get lost just walking down the hall, and can barely find my way back to my own room! Hopefully I get better at that.

[Scribbles of something that look to be the beginnings of a magic spell in an odd language. The writing is blotchy and vary large; little notes to herself are written underneath some things.]

Whoops, No magic here! I forgot. Maybe I'll find magic somewhere?
