Iss' Diary 1
Upon entering the tavern my eyes fell onto the woman of Ioun. I know her from the glimpses and I have yet to have a satisfying answer to my questions. I know the Mistress has not forsaken me, my duty of protection stands and thus I must protect her. She caught me staring at her intensely but I had no answers to offer, perhaps more dreams will offer me a solution. I do wonder, does she dream of me? Perhaps not. She did not seem to recognise me at all. Others of the party fade but I have taken a liking to the rogue, he shares my mistrust of water and love of a good and bloody fight. Lizard one has healed me and so I owe her a debt, she shall be under my protection as I continue to journey. The others I am not so sure of but as long as they are useful.
I continue to endure the strangeness of the outside world, it is overwhelming and loud. I miss the snow the most, and the frozen lake fishing I did with father. Duty calls and I must answer, but I shall keep my tribe in my heart in fondness. I shall see them again and perhaps the one of Ioun may accompany me to her sanctuary. I think the Seer would like her.
I must admit my mind was fogged and I did not fight my best, I fumbled as my mind slipped back to these dreams. I thought finding destiny would help me but I have more questions now. However I did kill some and in that I take pride and thank the Mistress for the strength she has bestowed upon me. I have not failed them. I am hurt but at least I retain some of my pride. The nature has been kind to us, the cliffs provided a friend. For that I thank the earth, may the souls of the dead find their peace. Except the one that sneered at me, and ran from a fight. That one must suffer his shame. The Mother would not like me thinking such thoughts but she is kind where I am not. Those that fight in cowardice but still have the audacity to look down on others should carry that shame for eternity.
Ah. I hope the Captain will allow me to return with them but first I must bring them back to the Walrus in one piece. A task I thought would be easier.
