I can hardly sleep! It's well into the early morning, and tomorrow, Uncle Colden and I depart for the south, for the Greenbelt, for adventure. He found and signed up for a charter issued by the Swordlords, which grants him land and the right to rule it, and all we have to do is clear out a few ruffians and it's all ours! Or rather, his, he kept saying, but I know he was just excited and he'll share.
We're going to meet up with a few others who will be joining us, but he said that they were no more than glorified bodyguards. I've never had a bodyguard, but they sound fun to play tricks on.
Speaking of pranks, Uncle Colden and I seem to get along just fine! I knew he was a trickster, but he told me a few stories about how he had done all sorts of hilarious pranks that they didn't even know were him, because he used a bunch of other people's names, like how he convinced a Brevoy couple that he was a minister, married them for a small coin fee, and left before they found out! I've got so much to learn from him about what makes a good joke, I can't wait.
He didn't say why he wanted me to join him, but I'm guessing it's because he heard about me. The older folks' around town are always talking about me and my practical jokes, it's a wonder he didn't come for my help sooner.
My parents didn't mind letting me go, they said they couldn't handle the reputation I had around town, and that the other adults never talked to them about anything but my pranks. I didn't know they were so jealous but at least now they can get some attention to themselves.
I'll probably be too busy to write here for a few days, but when I have time I'll be sure to write all the details of my first adventure.

25Calistril, AR 4710
This journal is property of Hodgwick Elmut Lind Nackleger Fizzwi Gorben Aerojibble Dalfoodle Wagrip-Scheppest Zookman Jebtwiss Xyglminder Yoopagigigi Pilzig Roonbert Quignip Boddybuck Ipkuss Murai von Turbiddle Utmola Olffbert Klemji Coinfoot sr. If found, please return to #7 Rocky Way, in the village of Redwall, Rostland.
My Uncle Colden showed up today totally unannounced. He wanted to talk to my parents, and it was regarding me, he said. Now, I don't know much about my Uncle Colden, I only met him a year ago at my Aunt Keljmi Coinfoot's wedding, so I don't know what he could want to talk about regarding me.
He told me to go and buy a journal and he'd pay me back, said, "It's most important to keep track of your deeds. That way, later, when we're rich, we can sell the book, and get even richer!"
I didn't know that he knew that I was planning on getting rich, in fact, I don't think he could have known. In case the reader wasn't aware, I am going to be a powerful magician and am already a great leader and an enviable thief. I'm going to use my magic to take over this boring town, and plunder its riches, and when I'm done, I'll leave in the night, never to be heard from again! I'll rescue maidens and fend off monsters, and steal from dragons' hordes. Bah, what am I talking about, by the time anybody else reads this, those things will all have been done!
It's supper time, so I'll stop here and go find out what Uncle Colden came here for....
