Closure

by Keth Ravenwood

Well we did it. It’s done. The cultists of Talos are all dead. The ones that we know about at least. It feels… I’m not quite sure. Good, I guess. I’m glad that I got justice for Mom and that we stopped whatever Talos’ plans were in the sword coast. And I don’t feel quite as angry anymore. But I still have so many questions. What was Talos planning with the heart and the lighthouse and everything? Why did the cultists kill Mom? Why did that angel guy help us? Who is he? What exactly happened with Sef? I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to find any of those answers, but at least we managed to stop whatever Mom died for. And the Sword Coast is protected. At least from Talos. At least for now.
 
Seeing Talos was… a lot. I’ve joked before about killing Talos, and seeing him made all of my anger and rage at him so much more real. But it also showed me how powerful he truly is. I mean it’s one thing to know that a god exists, but it’s another thing to truly see one. Or an avatar of one or whatever. I still want to take my revenge on Talos himself, fuck over all his plans and whatnot, but… I’ll need to be smart about this. Careful.
 
Then there was everything with the angel and Sef. Or Helaena now, I guess. I think the asshole angel guy saved Sef from the octopus thing somehow and he definitely saved us from Talos, we would have been screwed without his help. But… I don’t know. I don’t trust him. And Sister Garaele seemed… weird when I brought him up. She seemed weird about Se- Helaena too. I’m… worried about her. First she gets taken over by Talos’ octopus thing and attacks us and now she seems so different. Did we really get her back? Or did the angel guy just manage to take over her himself? We’ll need to keep an eye on her. I can’t lose another friend like that. Not again.
