Personal history
I have spent several years fishing and raising herbs and mushrooms "that "bring people joy," most seeking enlightenment. Living in a hut in the woods by my pond, I have had plenty of time to experiment with a wild magic surge that remains present just down the road from my home. I would toss the herbs and mushrooms into the wild magic area and pull them back out by the basket and rope attached. I would trade these goods to those seeking enlightenment or hoping to gain the use of magic. Feeling I need a bit of a vacation from my relaxing enviroment, I had recently bartered some of my goods for a tome that goes into detail how I could learn to apply teaching of other orders, in particular I have an interest in the shapeshifting abilities of the wild order.

The Journal Entry’s title
I woke early this morning with blinding heat covering my face. After a moment I realized this was the actual color and brightness of the sun. Normally to me it appears to have multiple colors and sound. This is my first day waking without mushrooms in my stomach. shortly before my new found friend dropped out of the sky and stole my bath water, I had a vision of future things to come that would be more horrifying than all of the the hallucinations i have intentionally had so far. I saw blight plaguing the forests I call home while the ents who are living trees were wailing in agony, animals that inhabit the forest where fleeing in droves as they could sense what was happening was not natural. The insects flying about suddenly stopped in mid air, water from the nearby stream seemed to pause mid flow, and even a fish jumping out of the water stopped in the air mid jump. I felt a sense of warmth come over me and for the first time in a long time, I could hear what the birds actually sound like, they normally sound like screaming demons when i have my mushrooms. My senses became clearer, as I could feel the drugs leaving my system. I turned around as I sensed a presence behind me. I recognized who I was looking at from statues within the druid grove I grew up in. I gasped as I exclaimed "Picos the trickster God?!"
He nodded his head and began sending words from his mind to mine, he told me "what you saw was metaphoric and represented yourself if you continue on your current path, it would lead to your own destruction, tampering with wild magic if you kept at it would have created a plague the likes of which the world has never seen. The sounds and sights you are seeing now, I wanted to remind you what it is like to be sober, and to remember having goals and aspirations. I understand a large amount of your loved ones perished due to the plague those bandits intentionally released upon your grove and that is why you drown your sorrows with ale and drugs, but I wanted to remind you there is still hope, your grove can recover and you will soon meet 3 adventures who will need your aid and one of them will fall from the sky." I was abhorred to think based on what he told me I was only about 6 months away from tossing a random plant into the wild magic that would come back bearing plague spreading fruit and it would spread a plague worse than the one that had afflicted my grove, and I myself would have been the first person to get it after eating the fruit. Shaken I nervously said "th th thank you Picos, for your help, I can't believe I was that close to causing that much harm". I won't be able to shake those visions from my mind each time I consider taking drugs, which should make it easier to quit. After that thought crossed my find, I saw someone fall from the sky and I'm glad I used the outhouse earlier because that confirmed my vision was actually a visit from Picos.
