Session: June 26th, 2023

by Eirlyssia Tsurovitchna

Mortalis is simultaneously fascinating and concerning to me. He has what I need - a decent amount of power. But he seems somewhat unstable. I got some answers to my questions, at least. He said he does believe that he has extra powers locked away somewhere, and that REALLY intrigues me. I want to gain access to those before we get to my mother's house. I just have no idea how. He said he's going to think on it, but I don't know how he'd be able to just magically come up with the answer. One can only hope, I suppose.
 
Also interesting was that he said he didn't take over Dan'or'avil when they were working together. They actually merged consciousnesses, where both of their consciousnesses would co-exist in the same space. I have to admit, I don't love the idea of that. Mortalis even alluded earlier, along with Garrin's suggestion, that Dan'or'avil was not quite so crazy before he met Mortalis. And I have a funny feeling that a partial merger of consciousnesses was perhaps to blame for some of that. I have already had one voice in my head that spoke when it wished, and I would like to never repeat that. Mortalis chimes in every once in a while with something interesting. That I don't mind. But G'Vath'Haz would often chime in with dark suggestions or opinions when I would just be trying to go about my normal tasks, and I worry merging consciousnesses would lead to more of that. Even just the other night when Mortalis suggested killing Saanes could be a good strategy...I worry.
 
But at the same time - I want to be able to use his powers to the best of my ability. I want access to all the power he has to offer. I'm not sure if I can get that without making some kind of sacrifice. Though tonight, I was pleasantly surprised that Mortalis was willing to try projecting himself outside of the scythe. Especially after the first try, seeing how much it took out of him. I was...happy...mostly, with how things went. I offered up some of my health to help bolster him, and while it did work, it didn't work enough to justify how much he took from me. Plus, after that, he was useless. Had to go and rest, something I haven't really heard a patron needing to go do.
 
I really want to believe that he can help me defeat my mother and G'Vath'Haz like he said he could...but I'm starting to wonder. I know the sheer power G'Vath'Haz has. I don't know that Mortalis can take that on. He can't even manage to hold his own self outside of the scythe for more than five seconds without becoming useless. Even when he takes over my body, we basically do a LITTLE more damage to enemies and I have the advantage (*slight sarcasm*) of being able to die and having him still use my body to fight. It just doesn't instill the greatest confidence in me. That's why I want to be able to access his hidden powers. I want to have something Dan'or'avil never experienced, something that they won't see coming. But I don't know if we'll find them in time.
 
I HAVE to be powerful. I have to be able to keep my friends from harm when we go to that showdown. I have to be able to accomplish my goals. The closer we get to the day, the more I can feel myself shifting to greater extremes. And it worries me that I don't care about that quite as much as I used to. Maybe Zun's right. Maybe I am a monster.
