A Necromancer Ponders Death

I’m going to die. We’re all going to die. You’re not going to die. You are paper and ink. But I am going to die, and not in the 'everybody is going to die' way. I'm going to die this week though. I mean, did I always know I was going...

Lian is here.

Lian is here. I wish I had a funnier, more clever way to say that, but that’s all I can wrap my head around right now. He’s here. He’s at my house. He’s in my bedroom! Right this second right now. There’s a time when just thinking about t...

Formidable Friends

I was part of something big. Really big. The fewer details I write down the better, but know I’m dying inside not being able to tell them. What we did changed history! They’ll write about it in books for centuries to come! And it will be a mystery- to...

An Armada's End

I haven't written in this one one for a while, but I suppose telling the events of the day into my current research notebook (Vol. 34) wouldn't be apropos of today's events -even as entertaining as Vol. 34 is! Still, I suppose fighting an invading arm...

DAY 1 AT SEA I'm on a ship manned by a crew of Soulreaved. I can easily count this as the most awesome thing I've ever done. L̶i̶a̶n̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶ I should feel excited? I'm trying to talk with everyone and ask detailed and in...

Celrin died.

Celrin died. I watched her head disconnect fly from her body as it went limp. When I started studying the forces of life and death I thought that would make it less frightening. Death. Makes sense right? If you can control the energies that manipulate lif...

Paintings and Airships

Turns out the animals wasn’t what I should have been worried about. Turns out Celrin’s past isn’t just coming for her, it came for all of us. And I spent most of last night attempting not to die. Eleonora spent most of the night trying to save my li...

A Good Bookstore

You know how in stories bookstores are always creepy old places run by a mysterious tiny old lady and the lady ends up seeing into the heroine’s soul and leading her to exactly what she was looking for since the first chapter? It was kinda like that..I ...

Distorted Reflections

Well, my first prophesy came true. Noppa left. But I don’t think he left hating me, and that’s something. He also used a truth spell on me. Bastard. He’ll be missed. Not one to waste a spare room apparently Jhin seemed to find us a replacement b...

Bad Decisions (rough)

When you're not happy with the choices you've made, is it better to blame fate or yourself? Because if you blame yourself you can at least mentally berate and torment yourself for it. And that, after a while, will make you feel better. If nobody else is ...

With the Help of Good People

I ended up meeting Eleonora on the way to the castle, and she said she could help me translate. It's obvious that we haven't been on the same page lately, but I'm very glad that at the end of the day she's still my friend. She's just, she's just a good p...

A Deadly Dragon

K. Soo.. didn't get to ask her about the Lexicon. I was too busy dying from the DRAGON that she sicked on us. That's right HER DRAGON. And I can't really say I fought a dragon because I just ran to Eleonora to do that life transfer spell and then before ...

A Bagolian Necktie

I didn't know he was Bagolian when I slit his throat. Well, I guess I kind of did. But I really didn't care. If he was from Northal would I have cared? Should I have cared? Wait, let me back up. We're on a boat right now. Reminder Wren: Boats are terr...

The Desprate Leech

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. I.. Well haven’t wanted to. But I guess Lian was right, it’s good for your brain, helps you remember, makes you better, blah blah blah. So.. when we were waiting for our contact, after everybody else got into th...

Fortudo is beautiful. The people, not so much. Right there at the Cadgegap they took Rhea's potions. I mean, I've been carrying them around for a while now, I guess they were mine at this point. I wasn't planning to sell them or anything- but, she made th...

Feline Farsightedness

Well, Ele's okay. She just woke up. Only now I can't sleep, so I came to the study. The guilt has eased a bit though- she doesn't seem to blame me too much. Azrael did help me come up with an idea for tomorrow in the meantime though. I'm nervous- which ...

Grandiose Gifts

Celrin, Rainer and Nora got back this week. Honestly it's kind of nice to have the house full again. And there's more of Celrin, she has an arm now. Well, another one. It's fascinating really, I don't know how she got it though. And oddly enough adding s...

A Tale of Two Professors

I had a dream that I was back in the study. He was there. He was mad. I was... disappointing. Nothing new. The new part was when I woke up the spell that we were working on was in my spell book. Written down, just like I was writing it in the dream. I wok...

An Incredulous Party

We delivered the body of Jan to Jhin at the castle. In exchange for the body of his enemy we were invited to a party. Northal's a weird place. Conveniently (or unconventionally, I'm really not sure which) the party is at Baron Oelrich's estate. The one I...

Earning Forgiveness

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Is that the phrase? It's applicable here. Almost immediately after we escaped Baron Oelrich, by the skin of our teeth, we went immediately into the forest to go find this...Wretch. To be fair, we didn't have a choi...

Wren, remember when Lian told you not to make stupid rash decisions? You should have listened. I spent a few days scouting out the Institute here, The Institute of Hydroarcanic Power, um, and then I joined it. It seems innocent enough, they have inter...

Keeps and Creeps

First Night in Northal

Jhin and Meta introduced me to a group of...people (mostly people) so we could help them with a problem, a gang called the Bloaters. They seem...well, Eleonora seems nice. It was a little fun, though I'm not as good at lying as I used to be. I'l...
