Kaja (Dylan) II

Twenty Ninth of Ninthmoon How am I grateful for yesterday? I was successful yesterday. I took upon a large amount of meetings in preparation for today so that I will not fall behind on my duties. I met Sukaken, she had not visited me in quite a while. I wish her woes in relation to failing her mother pass soon, but no matter how many times I call upon the spirit of her mother to meet with Sukaken, she does not let go of the worries. Oh, but it was still nice to have her stop by. What would make today better than yesterday? I have very little expectations for this first day of adventures. I do not know any in Kirizak who has done so before, so I had no one to ask. Mother says that Fathers stories would be the best experience to learn from. One such I thought of, the time he fought beasts with others in Echoed Steps in his travels to Eos. I imagine that might be something we might do - I am not sure. I suppose, if there is little death and I only learn from the events of the day, it will be a better day. One thing I must accomplish today: I will succeed in one mission I go on, and meet three people from other clans. Who did I meet today? This was not what I expected this day would be like. Paku was here, though she only arrived after lunch. Kanja, from the times I would play with her and Paku too. These were unexpected, I did not know how to react. It was the mission briefing where I had an opportunity to speak with Sister, find out why she was here. Apparently Kanja invited her, prior to having met me in the morning. It will be nice to adventure with them, though something about her being here brings me dread. I will attempt to look deeper into this feeling. Other than those I already knew, I met a handful of people. Sasha I recognized but had not spoken to before. He is married to Evangeline. There is also a gladiator lizardfolk and their child in Stone Tusk, neither of which I remember the names of. I too remember Grey, another Drow. Balgor is a half giant half hobbit priest in Karngul, and Razikt? is a half drow half goblin in Dusk Eyes. They are fascinating people, though I do not know if I am friends with any of them yet. What did I achieve today? Quite a lot. With Paku’s help I was able to sense the essence of a spirit and she Seanced it so we were able to speak with it and learn what it was. I also helped in the gladiator tournament with the prizes for winners - they seemed to like them. I did not speak much in the Eldar diplomat mission, nor did I fight much against the possessed members of assorted clans, though I succeeded in binding the spirit of the man possessed from escaping afterwards. What lessons did I learn? There are spiritual forces in play across all of Falnorian now. The Eldar ambassadors are returning to their homes to deliver a dangerous message, and must get through Bellmorn who seems to have some connection to these spirits. They seemed afraid of Anguron. I believe I know what it might be, though not in what way it will manifest. We were told to recognize the weaknesses of Bellmorn and how they will be changed - To recognize that Eldar has flaws too, and they can be used. To recognize that the Riftlands has flaws too, and those lay in the very rifts between us. This will be a dangerous All Hallows, but perhaps wisdom from beyond the veil will guide us too. What am I feeling right now? I have many mixed feelings. Meeting Sister here was a shock, and everything I learned is affecting me greatly. I will not let the rise of anxiety and the rush of the adventures begin to put me out of balance. I am excited beyond it all, for what comes next. How could today have been better? I do not know, but I believe today was as good as it would get. I believe there were missions I would have rather gone on than the underground entrance collapse, but it acted as a guide to the rifts that the darkness might use to widen the gaps between each other.
