Journal Entry: 9th Day of Highsun, 1486 DR
I let the chaos in today again. It's been almost two ten-days since I learned of that door and the professors research into it, and it's been eating me up. I let a prick of a noble get under my skin, and instead of doing the smart thing, I let the fire out.I swear, it was so much easier to control when I was able to let it out in battle, but it's been since the cave that we had to fight anyone.
At least I don't feel the urge to do anything evil. In fact, I could rationalize that what I did was good, because I was able to free those poor horses, but I worry the rest of the group is going to look at me as a liability.
If there is one thing i'm not used to, is being the liability. I need to figure out how to get this extra energy out when we aren't in mortal danger from moment to moment.
