Did I do the right thing, asking for Dworik's souls back yet again? She hesitated, but I have faith that my friend will have more to give. But what I brought back... The ordeals have taken their toll on him. He carved his way into the dragon we had killed to cut the heart out. And a day later he is still obsessing about that heart. And he had a bad dream, followed by that mysterious tattoo changing shape into a dragon. Which, understandably, is adding to his meltdown. I'm trying to help as much as I can... But I'm not sure what more I can do.
Meanwhile, the fight with the dragon has triggered even more in Ellywick. She woke up with half of her body covered in dark scales similar to the dragon we killed. And with arcane powers. According to the man we met at Blackstaff tower, this is a common way for sorcerers to gain their abilities, but it added to the deterioration of Dworik's mental health.
I seem to be stuck in the middle of this as the only one not having something of a crisis. Ellywick might be more excited than scared by now, but I can tell that she's still working on accepting what's happened to her. No surprise there.
At least Vietchek and Kaja both seem ok under the circumstances. Just exhausted, which is about how I feel after dealing with all of this. And we are trying to get our new home in order, which includes hiring more staff and redecorating. We have things to do. Not to mention the fact that we need to look into what happened to Phennyr's village.
There are too many dragons around right now...
