The Hope of Prayer
Tears of frustration built in her eyes, but the weather was so cold that they froze before they could fall. Her vision remained as crisp as the wind that snapped through the mountain range, and her rage was as sharp and towering as the peaks themselves. She simmered with such anger that it was a wonder the frost did not melt from around her.
Everything moved too quickly and yet not fast enough. She felt almost powerless. Pip had been swallowed whole. Amarille was captured in the dragon's grasp. She was trapped behind a damnable wall, and though her adrenaline remained piqued, she felt worn. She had limited magic left, she knew, for there was a growing emptiness inside, and accessing those powers was becoming a strain. Only enough for a few small stunts, or one big show.
She held onto a flicker of hope as she watched Keth mount the wall. And Flicker. She heard Flicker behind her, talking to...by the gods, what business now? A ghost? As if there was not enough to contend with. Perhaps it and its allies might be swayed to refocus on the dragon. Perhaps...perhaps a greater power could be called. Perhaps Shahariel would hear her, through the gusting wind and frigid air, all the way into the heavens.

It was this. This was the reason they were here, this monster that called itself Cryovane. It was the reason Flicker and Keth and Eethyl had arrived to Phandalin. And they were the reason she had been awoken from that fel slumber. It was all for this mom...

The sky is lit with the frequent flash-quick glare of lightning, always followed closely by the almost deafening boom and crash of thunder. The ocean itself rages with the sky. The air is oppressive with elemental violence. (Flash! Flash-boom!) Th...

It had been only since the morning that she’d last knelt in worship of Lathander. It had been only minutes since the thought of him had crossed her thoughts. She’d gone inside to warm two pots of water, as requested by Eethyl, and she’d been starin...

What have I done? What am I doing? To think that it could reach me like that…I became so, so angry. Scared. I threatened it. What an idiot thing to do. I should have said nothing. But I couldn’t. The anger, the rage…I wasn’t thinking. What ...
12:42 am - 26.07.2022Journal Entry 1
I have, on occasion, glimpsed the others writing in a personal journal and have decided to do the same. It has been a long…long time since I’ve kept such a possession. But I believe it is a good practice, and mayhaps it will help me “polish the ru...

The dreams. They’re so vivid in the moment but never linger into her waking hours. She’s only been able to hold onto a few details. She can remember darkness and then light. She can remember a voice…or voices. And a name. There’s a name. Sh...

The day had been a nightmare. When they’d first arrived at the seemingly abandoned camp, she had thought Flicker was being overly cautious with her suggestions to hide, to send a lone scout ahead of everyone else while they sat, idle. It had taken eve...

She parted from Sister Garaele reluctantly, practically afraid to leave the only safe, familiar thing anchoring her to a world that felt like a scattered jigsaw puzzle. But the Sister had seen the exhaustion in Sef’s bleary, red-rimmed eyes, and promis...

None of it was familiar. And yet it was. There, just over there, that boulder with the disquieting shape. She had seen that boulder before. In a dream? Surely just so. It couldn’t possibly be the same, anyway, not if what the strangers said was tr...

She secured the bandage about Gilliam’s little hand with a deft and gentle touch. The silly boy had decided to take his juggling routine to the next level. A dangerous level. Fortunately he only suffered a shallow cut, though it had bled enough to sca...
