So he has something to look back at should Gnarlus forget memory again, Gnarlus start writing down what happen to him, to look back should happen. He tell Lucrezia about it, as Gnarlus probably forget he has it in first place. Gnarlus buy writing book from merchant, and it write what Gnarlus say, so he able to write lots in small time.

Gnarlus back on Nirn. It crazy story tell that no one believe, maybe not even Gnarlus when he read book again. See, Gnarlus stuck in Coldharbour without memory. Even Twilight Anexi and Scamp Kolmok forget memory to, it probably have something to do with not having ring. Gnarlus not able control self when ring was off, so crazy things happen. When he get ring back, Gnarlus blow person up who take ring in first place, it what he deserved. Gnarlus under so much pain, and was going to die. But what he not know is that it would cause HUGE EXPLOSION, which may killed Gnarlus, if he not transport to Obilivion. But he didn't know how he do it. So Gnarlus was stuck.

Anexi and Kolmok travel between Nirn and Obilivion while Gnarlus was stuck. They tell him write everything he able remember, but it take way to long. That why he got self write book now. But anyway, Gnarlus memory seem link with Kolmok and Anexi, when they remember, Gnarlus remember, when Gnarlus remember, Anexi remember. So Anexi bring note Gnarlus write to people on Nirn to try put pieces memory together. She even start delivering messages from Nirn to Gnarlus. Seeing notes from everyone comfort Gnarlus, and make him feel safe, and remember who wait for him back on Nirn.

One day, Anexi come to Gnarlus and say the ones waiting for Gnarlus were going be attacked by Daedra. Probably die. Gnarlus didn't want ones waiting for him to die waiting for him, so he try to think a way to help. When Anexi say Daedra attacking friends were from Coldharbour, Gnarlus decide he going to stop them... but by time he find where they were, Daedra already jumping through Anchor. When Gnarlus see this, memory of Magic come back, and he start summoning lightning storm above Daedra, shocking them in ashes. Gnarlus was hiding while he channel, so Daedra not know what happening. They start running round, avoid lightning and being zap. Big booming voice call out ""WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" So loud it hurt Gnarlus ears. They still ring now. After while, Daedra scatter enough that Gnarlus able to reach pinion Anexi say collapse portal, so Gnarlus rush to it to destroy it. Then thought came: "Anchor go to NIrn. That way back." Despite Anexi saying... ummm

"I said, 'Don't do it, you stupid goblin. You'll burn up on descent"
"Don't do it..."
It's already written there. I seems to have written what I said. In a nice teal color too.
"What, Merchant say only write what Gnarlus say."
"She said it will write what you say when it is open, maybe she meant you as in anyone"
"Thats funny. It's even translating what Kolmok is saying."
Shut up. Gnarlus trying to write. Go start on cooking.
Fine.

Anyways, Gnarlus jump into the anchor while it collapse... yes, stupid, but Gnarlus now back on Nirn, with friends, so he do right thing.

When Gnarlus wake up, everyone around him hug him. They all really missed Gnarlus, and Gnarlus missed them all too. It was most happy Gnarlus was in long time, and he glad. Lucrezia even there, and said she missed him. It was happy time. When everyone done hugging Gnarlus, he went to go take bathe to get all ash off and stink gone. On his way out, he see Lucrezia again, with clothes off. Gnarlus was in big shock... more then eyes bulge...

Gnarlus bought this book on way to river, and now sitting next to river, recounting memory... he going to make this regular thing.

Oh frig, what was, oh, Gnarlus' Journal. Not what I was looking for, but... I'm sure he won't mind if I put my own entry in here.

Its been only three days since Gnarlus had returned from Coldharbour, and already he is acting so much more cheerful then before. He's been talking to everyone he could. He even went down to the Old Docks, and threw two or three monkey corpses off and watched the Crocodile "Mother" and watched them devour them happily. They seemed rather hungry, and the "Mother's" growls sounded of gratefulness, so I think I'll sneak some meats down to the docks while Gnarlus is out running errands. Perhaps it will even talk to me after a few times, and I'll figure out how Daedroth came to caring for some Crocodiles. I'm sure it would be a story,

Another thing that happened was some Scaleback attacked Gnarlus earlier today. A strange one too. Covered in tattoos, markings, can swear I saw Daedroth Claws hanging from his neck. I mean, I may be a daedra, but he was almost scary even to me. Anyways, he picked Gnarlus up by the scruff of his neck tunic, and told him "He warned his kind." and the proceeded to punch the lights out of him. Of course, eventually Gnarlus shocked the stupid idiot, but not before recieving three good punches in the gut and one to the face. Fortunally, the Shaman's Ring absorbed the punches to the gut, but when the Scaleback saw it was it working, he cast some magic that stregthened his hands, and with one good punch, his lights were knocked out. I tried to help, but the Scaleback bound me or something with magic, saying I'm only still here because he saw me being friendly towards the town. Then I watched him pick up Gnarlus, and throw him off the docks to the crocodiles below. I'm unsure what happened right after, but when the spell broke, I ran to the edge, and saw the Crocodile Mother over Gnarlus. Not attackng though, but defending him from her children. Seems it remembered those monkeys from earlier. Now I REALLY think I owe her some meat. I wonder what they'd think Scaleback...

Gnarlus is now up in the kitchen working on some big feast he had been apparently planning before he lost his ring. He said he wanted to share some new dishes he wished to try. Most of them contains potatoes, of course, as it was his staple diet the longest time in Coldharbour. Now that they are actually cooked properly with proper ingrediants, rather then with random scraps scavenged from ruins, it smells delicious. The meat isn't even Skeever, its real pork and goat. OH Gnarlus asked me to get more pork for him. Where is that pork... Ack, the pudding is bubbling over. Gnarlus get down here! Your stuff is burning... Gah, spent so long talking to this book, I'm yelling at Gnarlus like he understands me.


Gah, what with big mess! Pudding everywhere! That what you try to say? To late now, go get mop, Gnarlus clean this up. Then go up and watch potatoes. Ack, who left journal open? It write when *the writing suddenly stops. You can only assume that the book wae closed at this point.*

I'm really not surprised Gnarlus has been filling in this journal. I'll just take over for him instead.

Gnarlus was banished from the town for two days for shocking someone. Some cat interrupted Gnarlus while he was talking to that Lucrezia Imperial girl he likes. Down at the docks, watching the Daedroth. If you ask me, the stupid Khajiit was a big baby. All he kept saying was Gnarlus was going to murder him, and that he had the eyes of a killer, hiding behind others, and looking pretty pitiful. At first, even I felt Gnarlus over reacted, but upon seeing the cats reaction, I say he just wanted the attention. He got what he wanted.

While he was gone, I was taking some food down to the Daedroth at the docks, and it actually spoke to me. Turns out it was bound to Nirn against its will (naturally) and when it killed its summoner and couldn't get back, it set up its home here, caring for the crocodiles. Even drained the lake by smashing the dam. While it seems like it actually cares for the crocodiles however, its just in the Daedroth's natural instinct to be part of the clan. I've agreed to bring some food down every now and then until the elk that graze in this area return. Turns out they were scared away by a goblin clan, but now that the Argonian chased them out, they have been slowly returning.

As for Gnarlus, he seems lonely. While everyone surrounds him welcoming him back, he just puts on a face and thanks them, but when he goes into his quarters, he just sighs, and talks to no one. Most times it is about how he is truly feeling, but it always ends in the same way. He looks up, sees no one is there except us Daedra, sighs, and banishes us away. I think it has something to do about not having someone "special" in his life, because he has been talking to Milo and another cat about it. He thinks he won't find anyone like him that will like him. I agree, of course, but seeing Gnarlus in this sad state is starting to take its toll even on me... I must be the worse Daedra ever to feel such things.

For now, to hide his feelings, Gnarlus is constantly cooking, and when he is not cooking, he is down at the docks, watching the Daedroth. I think in some way he feels a connection to it, being something different accepted by others, but I'm not to sure. I hope he is going to be Ok.

So Gnarlus taking Vacation away from S'ren-Ja. Gnarlus gone from Nirn so long, he feel he need to reaquaint self with Primal Guardian and world, but Gnarlus not aloud write about that. Then why did you even bring it up? That Golden Hawk was amazing to look at. GAH. Gnarlus just not aloud talk about it.
Anyway, Gnarlus decide he going to go on an Expedition with Mage's Guild, that way Gnarlus know he safe around old friends. They not willingly talk to Gnarlus, but after he cook them all Hashbrown and Egg for second breakfast, they become more friendly. Even show Gnarlus how to work book better, replace words with other words, he call it Editing... Hopefully Gnarlus will read this to unserstand the amount of errors.. Gnarlus now on boat with researchers, scholars, and some Fighter's Guild members for security. We journey to strange island void of magic, far far to south. Gnarlus invited because of handling of Primal Magic, and wish to know if Gnarlus Magic still able to work on magic, while they not able. According to report on island, all magic drain for Magic Things. Volreth (Dark Mer Gnarlus meet on boat. VERY interested in Goblin Culture for some reason. Believe Mer evolve from goblin. That silly wouldn't surprise me. But that crazy thought.) Suggest Gnarlus made Journal Entry before land tomorrow. When Gnarlus get off island, he write again about what Gnarlus find.

So Gnarlus Journal still work on boat, but not on island. That weird how specific the island is, but that fine with Gnarlus. Maybe island like goblins: It just hate Magic, and want it away from them. Anyway, after exploring a bit, we set camp up at large Golden Crystals. Archmage tell us that he believe that the crystals are cause of the Magic Null on island. He tell us all to try simple heal spell (Except Gnarlus, he not able to), but none was able to cast it. Gnarlus watched the gem sparkle at the attempts. That when archmage get Gnarlus to summon lightning. At first Gnarlus suggest against it, it just seem like bad idea for some reason, not mention it banned magic, but Archmage boss, and Gnarlus had do it... and he was right. When Gnarlus summon lightning, the lightning drawn toward the crystal, and then crystal explode. Shards fly everywhere, and one even hit Gnarlus in face. It not hurt to Gnarlus surprise, but Gnarlus not mean to destroy crystal.

Archmage take a shard to examine and after retry magic, no one still able to cast magic but Gnarlus. Just to have magic back, Archmage move us all back to boat to sleep. Before sleep however, everyone suddenly want to talk to Gnarlus. They all very interested in Primal Magic and want Gnarlus to teach them. Of course, Gnarlus not able to teach them, but they all just keep ask Gnarlus. Archmage finally chase them all away, and apologize to Gnarlus for make him do something he not want to do. He even say he should listen to Gnarlus! Who this and what he do with Archmage? Gnarlus not want mention before how much Archmage hate Gnarlus on journey here, but suddenly he nicer.

Gnarlus ask Ryda to help Compose a letter to Lucrezia to let her know Gnarlus Ok. It feel weird how everyone reaching out help Gnarlus. When Gnarlus in S'ren-Ja, he told often he good for Moral, and again Ryda tell Gnarlus that he good for Moral, always know how get smile on face. When Gnarlus asked what wrong, he told Gnarlus about reason why he join Expedition was find way to drain Magic from self. He say he lose control often, and kill close friend by mistake and he scared of his magic. Gnarlus understand how he feel, so Gnarlus talk to him. Gnarlus ask how often he lose control, and he say always. Then Gnarlus ask how often he use Magic, and he say never. That when Gnarlus know what problem is. He never attempt to learn control magic. Gnarlus take him to boat, and summon Anexi. He get Anexi to hold plate, and tell Ryda shoot at plate... he not want to. After coaxing, Gnarlus convince him, and... he hold staff wrong, and lightning come out opposite side staff. He have lot of work. Gnarlus tell him he going to help him, as he very smart with theory, but not able apply it.

This Island getting very creepy. Everyone finding stuff all of sudden, things they want. Ryda find ring that have piece of crystal Gnarlus blow up, and now he not able cast magic. Volreth find conclusive evidence that link Mer and Goblin (Yuck). Archmage find the large wall with scratch on it and spend all time now study wall, mutter something about They are going to return... they are returning.. Tolar Wolfbrother, find some colored log, and instantly happy, saying he going be more powerful. One by one, everyone find something they apparent want for long time, but no one question why they finding, and even when Gnarlus ask about it, they say they not care. What scarier that some not want want to leave island now. They say they not need anymore. All Gnarlus find is bow, and yes, Gnarlus want find gift to send Milo for wedding, but Gnarlus just wish he...
The page instantly cuts off, an inch down it continues
Lus? Where'd you go? The others are, ACK. What was that?
What just happen? Gnarlus suddenly on beach, and see Lucrezia and Milo wedding, then suddenly when Lucrezia say wedding over, he back lying on beach of Island. Gnarlus not even able say or do anything at wedding. He just there, then back.
Would you calm down? Explain slowly.
Ok, Gnarlus was talk into book, ACK! It still open
Ignore it, just talk!
FINE. Gnarlus was talk into book and he about to say "Gnarlus wish he be at wedding" and suddenly he at wedding. When Wedding end, Gnarlus end up back on beach.
Are you certain you didn't just accidentally relearn how to trans-locate yourself
Magic not WORK on island... except Anexi and Kolmok magic...
I wonder that. Why are we able leave? I'm going to look around the island myself?

goblin was telling us we had to get off the island right away. He said something about us being in Obilivion.
His name is Gnarlus, not "That goblin", and if he is thinking that we are in Oblivion, I'm inclined to believe. Remember how on the journey here he was telling us how he was banished to Obilivion, and couldn't get back?
You actually believe that story?
Gnarlus, as far as I know, has never lied to us before. Why would he lie about that?
For the attention, of course. Listen Ryda, I know you two had been talking a lot lately, but you have that Null Ring now. You don't have to worry about you magic getting out of control anymore. You don't have to have to pretend to like that thing anymore.
Have you ever talked to him, rather then listened to him. He maybe green and warty, but he is probably more thoughtful then half the people on this ship, and more observant. Have you even noticed that everyone has been having there wishes come true? You even found that Totem to Hircine. Why would a Totem to Hircine be here when we have found no other sign of civilization?
It was a gift from the Lord of the Hunt. He has finally recognized my hunting skills.
I'm not so sure about that, I think Anexi might be right about it. We are in Clavicus' realm.
Are you really taking the word of a Daedra

Listen. That green thing is a paranoid goblin. There is nothing with Oblivion here, no Daedra, other then those two pests, nothing to worry a, OUCH! What was that for?
I don't need that ring. Just choke on it.
Do not take that tone with me Mage. The Totem of Hircine makes me much more...
COOL DOWN.
What in Oblivion Gnarlus! A little warning next time before you freeze someone.
That wolf had you by neck. You going die if Gnarlus not do something!
That was only a joke Gnarlus. Thank you so much, you probably just saved my life.
If you two are done, we need to destroy the rest of the wishes.
What do you mean.
Gnarlus think we able to stop magic if we destroy wishes.
And that's why you destroyed that Totem? Why aren't you affected
Gnarlus' deepest wish at the time was to attend a friends wedding. I've concluded the magic wore off when he left the island.
Hey, Stop yanking. Your going...

It be long time since Gnarlus last wrote in book, but there really not much talk about. Gnarlus and Mage Guild got off Island, everyone safe and sound. When Gnarlus get back no one really notice Gnarlus back except Lucrezia. Made Gnarlus feel alone again, so while everyone go out to plant Sugar, or have drink contest, Gnarlus just standing down at docks, thinking. Is this where Gnarlus really want be. Many treat him like he scum, but there are few who make stay worthwhile. Just not know what to do. If Gnarlus does leave, he may never find any who accept him, if he stay, he will be accepted, but lonely.

Here's a joke: Gnarlus walk into Greedy Goblet, and someone lying there dying... wait, that regular occurrence. Anyways, Gnarlus not hear everything that happen to her, but it was clear she hurt physically and mentally. Went to find Caramel or Don, but only found Kade. He not helpful in the situation. Anyway, it Ok though, when Gnarlus get back to Clan House, Injured person seem to getting help, so Gnarlus try to stay out of way. He find he not helpful in situations like that.

Then while Gnarlus setting up for evening rush, Lucrezia come in looking less fat. It turn out she had baby, and is now mother. Also Gnarlus learn new thing: Imperials produce milk. It seem lot easier then trying to get milk from goat or cow, and it convenient. Then thing get wierd as she mention that she is already setting baby up on dates. Yes, she said that they only are playing, but isn't that what a date is anyway, two people "playing". It no wonder that Gnarlus is alone, everyone getting set up with snuu partner way back when they babies. That must be why Lucrezia so attached to Milo when Gnarlus try to flirt with Lucrezia. Oh well, now he understand. He just got to late to party.

Then Guard Captain call big meeting in Greedy Goblet, and it get very busy. Gnarlus and Kolmok was run around crazy taking orders and serving food. Wish Guard Captain tell Gnarlus to expect big rush. Gnarlus to tired afterward to do anything. Only able to hear little bit of what meeting. There ghost out in field looking someone called Romari. No one name Romari come into Greedy Goblet before, so he not able to add anything. Gnarlus would go talk to ghost however about Romari, as it sound like it lost, but Guard Captain tell us not talk to it, and last time Gnarlus not listen to Guard Captain, he banish Gnarlus from town, so Gnarlus going to try to keep distance. That said, curious about gem that was mention. Anyone think ghost and gem linked? Probably not.

After, everyone start talking about scary stories. Gnarlus like most of them, so he told his own story.
"Gnarlus wanted to give a gift from his soul to his love. The Dremora gave him a soul gem."
It scary because if Gnarlus accepted gift from bound Dremora, it become unbound. Of course, it wouldn't be scary if Gnarlus told the true story.
"Gnarlus want to give gift from the soul to Lucrezia. Kolmok gave him a Soul Gem."
If anything, that sent Gnarlus into laughing fit when Kolmok did that. But Gnarlus though Lucrezia would not like Soul Gem. Would be creepy.
