7 Rekindling 9048

by Xilmoira Vamenor Venzana

Well. Today sure has been a day. We arrived at the dig site where Scipio and Drifter were last seen. We descended into an ancient dungeon that contained all sorts of relics and writings about Karjafriig (???) and Termina and Lady Lorthr'ten. Before we entered what turned out to be one of the largest chambers, we heard voices talking about "the boy" and how he would serve "Mithra'' in the end. As we entered the room we saw Linthea who it seemed had just killed two really creepy looking creatures. Once again we didn't talk to her much before we engaged in combat with her. She basically instantly killed Sylivar, the random guy we picked up in the Gravel Marshes. She also said something to me about "not knowing who I truly was." During the skirmish both Miloš and Dwaiyn became charmed by Linthea, which proved to be much more detrimental to me than anyone else. One of Linthea's Bone Devil's attacked me and as Dwaiyn began to rush to me to heal me, Linthea demanded that he heal her instead. He stated that he had to save me because I'm looking for my son. GAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll come back to this further down. We were able to kill one of her Bone Devil's before she escaped through what seemed like a Planeshift. Throden and Wind did manage to rid her of her left arm which I'm sure she's less than thrilled with. The fight ended and I fell to my knees vomiting up blood, my skin felt like it was on fire but cold at the same time, and there was an odd pain in the back of my neck. After I stopped vomiting I sat up and felt...different. But not different bad but different like this was how things were supposed to be. Like things had been set right and I had just never known something was wrong. I'm not sure if that makes sense. My skin is more blue than purple now and my hair is whiter than before but seems to have an icy sparkle to it. And before where I could only Misty Step about twice, I can now do something similar but with a bit extra. It's all very strange.

 
We found Scipio's body in a small pool of water in the chamber where we fought Linthea. He didn't make it. It breaks my heart that we have to bring him to his father like this. I can't imagine. I'm hopeful that the Didacy has some powerful Clerics that will be able to bring him back but that may just be wishful thinking. Wind is pretty torn up, understandably so. I'm worried about them but I don't want to overstep. Grief is very personal.

 
We made our way through the rest of the chambers and then returned to the surface. We found some magical weapons and other items, but no money which isn't great. We're pretty broke right now. Miloš took this strange powder that makes you remember things. I smelled it and it took me back to a hunt I went on with Tanyl. I miss him so much it hurts.

 
After we left the site, we started back towards Victus' Fall with both Scipio and Sylivar's bodies in tow. Obviously it makes sense to have Scipio with us, but Sylivar? Maybe I'm just a bitch but we really didn't know that guy all that well, I feel like we should have just buried him and called it a day. When we made camp, I tested out some of my new abilities. When I do this advanced Misty Step thing I can make people afraid of me, it's pretty great. We came to the conclusion that I'm an Eladrin now I guess???? I have absolutely no clue how.

 
Okay so back to the Dwaiyn thing. WHAT. THE. F U C K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING??????? SERIOUSLY??!?!?!?!? I am beside myself furious. I should have never said ANYTHING about Kieran to anyone!!! How could I be so fucking stupid????? Xilmoira what is wrong with you???? Tanyl and I went through SO. MUCH. to make sure that no one but us plus Tanyl's sister knew that Kieran existed and now one of our biggest adversaries knows about him???? AND she knows who I am so does she know who Vulren is?? Of course she does. If she has means of communicating with Vulren I am absolutely fucked. I cannot believe this. This is exactly why you don't tell people things Xilmoira, what is wrong with you? I cannot believe I let my guard down and told these people that I've known for less than TWO MONTHS that I have a SON. I have to stop thinking about it or I'm going to get up and strangle Dwaiyn. And then when I yelled at him about it in the dungeon all he said was "I thought I killed you." ???????????? Obviously not because I'm standing right here, alive! I guess he was worried that he healed me like he healed Sailor and we all remember how that turned out. But she was unconscious when she got stung and I was not and I remained fine. Okay I'm really done now.
