Celrin died. I watched her head 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 life what’s there to be afraid of?
I know there’s something after, I know it doesn’t just end. But Celrin just ended. Swing. Snap. Dead.
And everything she ever fought for, everything she felt, it was gone. Everything she knew is gone.
Eleonora, now she's the only one that knows.
M̶a̶r̶. Don't do it Wren, don't defile your journal. That Man came and took her body before I could try anything with it. He took her soul. I guess she's not gone really, though she probably wishes she was.
Maybe that means we’ll never see him again. Need to find that silver lining right?
We killed Kel. We didn’t actually. This lizard guy did. Long story.
I piloted the airship back to Divasé. They sent us back to Lessou. Jhin was there. It was (unsurprisingly) weird.
I finally met a real l̶i̶f̶e̶ Soulreaved. He's just a skull (do skeletons still use gender? I don't recall that being mentioned in any book) Says he's a captain , his ship docked is somewhere Northal. I bet people there are simultaneously incredibly irritated and scared shitless. And why is that image so funny?
Oh, our alliance was successful. And the Queen gave us a tremendous amount of gold as a reward. But who cares?
Celrin's dead.
-w.
Post-Script: Eleonora's mother is dead now too. I couldn't do anything about that either.
