Diary entry: 19th of Darlen, year 513.
I’ve been creating passages behind the back wall. Not so that anyone can see, they won’t find out until I ‘accidentally’ break through. But the passages, oh I struck gold there. I’m creating a tunnel section under the city (avoiding the sewers, of course) that looks like it was made hundreds of years ago. I’ll put exits all over, my family will have access to wherever we want!
I also proposed that we try to ally with some other families. I don’t like that us street-brethren should fight each other. Of course the oldest was agreeable, somewhat at least, but the others have a grudge and fear that halts progress on that line. I’ll have to work it down bit by bit. Perhaps I’ll make a member of another family get ‘lost’ and end up with us. I have been working on having people do things without realizing what’s going on, and I think that I could manage a younger child without being too overt. The problem is if their family comes looking too soon, we can’t afford to have our home found out yet. Once my expansions are done we won’t need the secrecy.
Secrecy? Why do I need that? I have all the power in the world, I can- No, no. I mustn’t let myself go that way. I came back as a child for a reason. I must change the world from the ground up. Did I come back? What did I decide about all that anyways? These memories, these thoughts, I can’t be sure of what is real and what is not. I thought I was past this! Why am I focusing on such unimportant things?

I must make up my mind once and for all. That’s why I question it still, I never came to a concrete decision. Did I have another life? Or was I always this way? Truly, I wish that my supposed former life was all a dream. But then I have you, and you are the proof that I lived another life.
That settles it. My diary is proof. As much as I hate the thought that I lived without this power, it must have been real. No more brooding over it, the others would probably notice if I keep thinking it over. Now that my mind is made up I can focus on what is truly important.
Yes, the member of another family. I have my eye on one who should do nicely.
