Traveling to many different lands, Melinda took time to jot down different things that she saw at different adventures that she and Beast were able to experience. She felt that this would be a good way of documenting what she saw. She never intended anyone of reading her journals. It was just something that she enjoyed doing after her adventures. Writing of her experiences, doodling scenes, and making up poems was a way of her bringing her fantasy lands into her reality world.
With all of her journeys, she was never so surprised at not only what she saw, but of what she was able to take from the beautiful land of Ikkin. These experiences would help her figure out the troubles within her reality. Her escape into the fantasy lands became her way of dealing with reality issues.
Ikkin was very different from her other lands. It was a land where Meli did not have to battle. She could venture through, put her hair down, and rejuvenate. It was her Eden.
