Whispers to the Dark XI

by Raphael

My lady,
I talk to you because it often feels you are the only one I can talk to.

I took a risk summoning the sprite, and I hope it was worth it. He confirmed the growing fear I had, three Hags it seems are at work here, Althia and Barithia’s true natures confirmed and one dead, the banshee from last night.

As I understand hags can often sit outside the courts, but is this my purpose and why you sent me to Drynna of all places? Did you send me here to punish or protect? If the latter then you must intervene because I will not, for the children of Drynna are sick with this curse and my mercy does not extend to those who hurt children. Never. The sergeant told me of how hags are born, I don’t believe you would condone that, I can’t believe that, and if I find that Baritihia or even Althia have taken this action then I don’t believe I can suffer them to live.

I felt something today, like Frostweaver was resisting my will, and that I found disturbing. You have taught me to maintain control of my surroundings and today, for many reasons, I felt like I was losing my grip on the situation and then, the blade wouldn’t release its grip on me. The wizard reached for it and my suddenness to shield him from the same fate of those frozen souls in the cave must have worried them further.

As for my companions, I am finding I am relying on them more every day, and the only thoughts that cross my mind are when will it end? And how? I find myself not wishing to disappoint them, but it is perhaps inevitable, maybe. They are wiser than I had given them credit for, some are nobler, some are smarter, some are kinder but all are still here in the stinking marsh bound together with nothing but a desire to help Drynna.
I found myself talking of Mother Winter, and all the while I thought would she judge me? I am always grateful for what you did for me, I sometimes find the memory slips and fades in my mind of that day, but not you, never you.

Onwards to the Hag Barithia and hopefully to the answers we need, hopefully to the end of this curse and whatever comes next.
