Whispers to the Dark X

by Raphael

My Queen
Further questioning of the Tabaxi and what he saw has raised greater concerns over the face of this banshee being the same as the Apothecary who calls herself Althia. We have confirmed with the villagers that Barithia looks identical to Althia the Apothecary and therefore the same face of the banshee. I fear the village of Bel is charmed by whatever power controls this swamp, when asked why one of them came to the swamp she told us that Drynna wasn’t safe and that Bartihia was the one to say that. I attempted to use logic and reason as you have told me to refute this to the villager we saved as best I could, but the charm seems to be strong. If this Althia and Barithia are one in the same, perhaps shapeshifters or one is impersonating the other? I do not know.
 
As we head north to confront the one known as Barithia, we were attacked by strange beasts that dwelt in the murky waters. I heard a unified voice echo from their reptilian throats and it spoke in the language of the fey. It said “You will pay” and “You fool”, I hope this was not directed at myself alone.
 
I believe there is no other way, I need answers, so I will summon my wild sprite friend, as I met him in Althia’s garden, I hope that he has more answers to questions we cannot ask of Althia right now. I fear that I must do this in the presence of my companions, as the knowledge is too important to do alone and there is no time before we reach Barithia. I have asked them to trust me and I hope that is enough.
 
Give me guidance my lady of Ice and Shadow, what must I do?
