I really don't know what Untermauler is doing. I was woken from my rest and taken to the Master's office, along with it looked like the rest of the Kisjan, to be interrogated. I don't know if we were all there, I didn't have a chance to take a proper headcount. One by one, we went into his office. One by one we were released. I can only assume we were all subjected to the same line of questioning. A plot to kill him? <i>KILL</i> him? (translated from Draconic) Ancestors protect me! (/translation) That is certainly one way to interpret this after our ingress to his office, but (Draconic oath) a murder plot! He's the sssathara Master of Evocation! He could ash us in a thought if we so much as considered it! We'd never finish conjuring our first spell matrix before he could disarm and disable us seven times over. Who does he think we are? We want to be something; we're <i>going to be</i> something. But we're not. What could have possibly been said or done for him to take a threat as credible? I wish I could channel this energy into something for my spell casting, but there's no way I can focus anything enough to make it useful. I...
 
Oh, there's another knock at my door.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Apparently Ohva and Ardath merited further questioning, and were taken to Master Rednop for a reading. Surely this could've been done sooner. Magics were created to avoid these sorts of misunderstandings, surely we didn't need to undergo these theatrics. They seem to be unharmed, at least. I am thankful. We may be frustrated by the lack of influence Ioth and his disciples are exerting upon the world, but eliminating any one of them would certainly not server our ends. Our exoneration is justified and corroborated by Divination. But Buta is still un-accounted for, as is Sventisko. I am a little glad that Sventisko isn't here, because I can't be sure she would be able to handle this situation levelly and without enflaming it further. Perhaps it deserves further enflamation, considering the parties involved. I will face that future as it comes. I think I will. I am less sure that my fate remains here at this moment.

Buta is gone. This was all driven by some Unknown influence on him, and he ended up removing himself, rather than allowing himself to be used by Another in that manner. I applaud his courage in sacrificing himself so, if he thought himself a danger to us and others because of this influence. But still I cannot stop the tears. I will try to be strong as I have. The Kisjan will need someone to rally around after this. If shouldering their grief will help them through, I will do this. If appearing strong will help them to face down what they need to in the coming days, I will do this.
 
I don't know if I have the strength myself. I will try. I must. Ancestors protect me.
 
 
 
I miss my friend.
