Here the journal entries for my character, Evelyn's, grandfather will be posted. Photos and text will be provided. They are primarily going to be in English as the intention is for Evelyn to eventually be able to read them fluently.

Entry 1 October 22nd, 2008
​

My daughter died yesterday. So did my son-in-law. At first I didn't know why or how, but the Council had their deaths investigated and gound it was due to a ritual that caught the attention of the wolves.
The ritual was an attempt to suppress their daughter, Evelyn's magic. She just turned 7 October 20th. There shouldn't have been any magic in her so young.

Suppressing that magic was utterly FOOLISH!!!
That is extremely powerful magic, it shouldn't be contained. She could be the key to removing every dangerous creature from human existence. But without proper training, it won't be possible. The ritual must wear off before she can be trained.

What was my daughter thinking?

Entry 1 continued​

Evelyn was placed in my care. In Eleanor and Thomas's will I was instructed to teach her once the ritual wore off.
How long will that be?
Her magic will be harder to contain and control by the time it does. The longer it takes the harder it will be.

I don't know how much I will train her. I will NOT make the same mistake my daughter made.

Пусть покоится с миром, моя дочь
(Rest in peace, my daughter)
Мне жаль, что это с тобой случилось
(I'm sorry this happened to you)​

Entry 2 - November 2nd, 2008​

It's been a few weeks since Eleanor's death and I took in Evelyn. The girl asks questions. A lot of them. But I can't give her the answers she wants as it would go against everything my daughter sacrificed. I want to tell her everything, to teach her, and to help her grow. But there's no way to reverse the suppression with her parents dead.

I've done some research on what can be accomplished with such high amounts of power. Evelyn will be able to permanently seal and protect the human world from the creatures of the night. We as witches will no longer have to worry about the safety of the humans. But while the power is capable, I can't say for certain that Evelyn will be capable of such a task. If she won't be able to do that perhaps she could permanently banish the wolves.

If I can't get her to learn her magic when the ritual when the ritual wears off, the only way for the wolves to be permanently banished will be for her to die after I do. But that won't happen at all. She will learn her magic in time. I swear that. I'm going to collect spells and build a new grimoire for Evelyn for when she gets her magic back.

This will be my last entry for a few years as I'm needing to take care of Evelyn.
Despite being a quick learner, she still has very childish needs.​

Entry 3 - October 29th, 2016
​

Nine days after her 15th birthday, still no signs of her magic resurfacing. I'm growing worried. Maybe I should figure out how to reverse the ritual. It's been too long, her magic is going to be unstable if it is contained any longer.

I've taught her to control her emotions for the most part, but she still can get erratic in stressful situations. She's also developed a habit of recording difficult decisions. She is not quite as secretive as she thinks. But if it keeps her in check, I don't care.

But what I'm most concern about is her curiosity about what happened to her parents. She's constantly asking, she doesn't believe the medical records, that's clear. I'm teaching her the importance of routine, to shift her focus into something I can actually help her with at the moment.

(Look at image for ritual reference)​

I can't seem to figure out how the release ritual would work. It doesn't seem to make sense. I fear I won't be able to release her magic from the suppression spell.

The only release spell I know if the one for the veil. Not every spell was made to be broken. But they should be. It shouldn't be the most regrettable ones to have an off switch. Why would her parents do such a thing without regrets.
