I should probably start doing my turns

Henry V of England (WIP)

January 8: I am starting to understand the world I have been placed in. I don't know this language they speak, but I recognize some sounds from Latin and English. I think I will call it Langlish.

January 31: I have found who is in charge of the city of Lancaster. The locals call it Cæstre, or at least that's what it sounds like. It is Merchin Gul, the king of the kingdom of "Rheged." I hope to visit him soon and maybe discuss my situation with him.

February 14: I have completed construction of a small hut on the edge of town, along the coast. I can definitely tell that this is the same coast I saw when I visited the city back when my father was king. It brings back memories of that time when I was certain of my wellbeing... now I am struggling to get along. How long have I been here? Has it really only been one year?

March 2: A young man in Cæstre (probably about 20) named Wilfrid has been helping me with life in this strange world. He has been such a help, and I don’t think I ever would have made it on my own. I have yet to tell him of my predicament. He has told me that he will take me to the king of Rheged when I am ready. His energy is shocking, and he is always active.

April 20: After a long trip to the king’s castle up in the moor, I have finally met with the Merchin himself. He currently has no male heirs, but instead a beautiful black-haired daughter. If I were to marry her, then according to their customs, I would become the heir to the throne. When I told Wilfrid, he got an unsettling look on his face and basically demanded I do it. I am unsure, though. I must think over this.

May 17: After staying in Merchin’s castle for the past few weeks, I told Merchin I wish to marry his daughter. He was delighted, and we were pronounced married yesterday. Today we start the long walk home, and my new wife (her name is Caylene, by the way) will be returning with Wilfrid and I.

June 4: Today was the day I told Caylene and Wilfrid of my past and how I mysteriously arrived here. Wilfrid got that crazy look again and said I should use it for my own gain. He convinced me to head into Cæstre and speak in the streets about how I know more than any other. I was unsure at first, but I started up, and the people hung onto my every word. I don’t know what to think. They all believe I am some messenger from the Lord Almighty. I seem to have converted them away from their Pagan practices.

June 29: This morning I went into Cæstre again to speak, and the crowds just kept growing and growing. People from the countryside are coming into town to hear “the great prophet” speak. I demonstrated my armor that I managed to keep from when I was king (It feels like so long ago!), and I showed how the weapons they were using were weak. Then I showed my sword, which cut through their armor like butter. They begged me to show them more, and to replicate the armor. Next thing I knew, they were organizing a mine on the outskirts of town. I don’t know what I’ve gotten myself into, but I can’t stop now.
