Magic Abounds

I has been too long since I’ve had the chance to properly write more than scribbled musings on whatever scraps I could find. Since I joined with Reinys, we have traveled far, finally leaving the safety and wealth of Stronghold for the road that would eventually lead us to the Feywild. We have not gotten far yet, only having made it a couple days journey from Stronghold to the small town of Kestel.
 
Since then, many things have happened. It seems that nefarious things are occurring here and within days of my arrival, I was quickly studying new spells so that Reinys and I could make use of some of them. Through her help, we sent letters to the capital and various others for help with matters that seemed far beyond us. Hopefully it would bring some good, but as of yet, it was still unseen.
 
It felt good to study again. To be able to learn and etch more runes into the bracelet that Lady Naya had given me. It felt like I was fulfilling a purpose, and that brought joy to my heart. It gives me wonderful feelings to know that Reinys still needs me like she did in our younger days. We relied on each other and as we grew apart, that no longer happened. It has changed us both to be on this adventure and for that I am forever grateful.
 
I finally got to spend time in the city with the others as Reinys sent me out with them in hopes of strategizing what could happen next. I had hoped she would rest as the long days and the interesting conundrums of this group was wearing her thin, but I knew she would never rest. Instead, I was sent to a party and told to enjoy myself while she continued working.
 
The party we attended was only possible due to the story telling efforts of our Otterfolk. His story was dark, but it was enough to gain us audience before the lord of the area. The Warforged and the Genasi had other plans for this opportunity, but I wanted to make the most of it.
 
I stuck with the Otterfolk and the Dragonborn, choosing to utilize my talents to augment the story telling. Narrin also weaved magical effects, which melded with mine flawlessly. The resulting visage was stunning, something I considered my best work outside of enchanting.
 
Being able to partake in something with the others was an interesting experience but I know understand why Reinys sent me. She tends to pick those who add to the situation as she cannot continue to do everything. She keeps her inner circle close, using the skills of Khalsinn and Miz when she needs someone to babysit the others. More of my time is spent working with her or studying, which suits me well.
 
With everything going on here in Kestel, I can only pray that the gods keep us safe. It has been out morning ritual for Reinys to say our morning prayers and it has kept us safe. We will continue praying, and keep the strength of the order close to us.
