I’ve decided to start writing in Gleipnir since I can think of no other place that could hold my thoughts secret then here. There’s only one other person who can open Gleipnir and I’m not afraid of them knowing my thoughts.
Well, I guess there might be three people who might be able to read this, considering the nature of this book... But I digress.
I’m happy to know that tomorrow my parents will be visiting Brimrad to try and help soothe the hostilities mounting there. In a rare case my father actually has a plan for how to help ease the suffering of the people there and help rebuild the infrastructure of the city though I know suspect that Edward had a heavy hand in that as that is his area perhaps that will help alleviate the problems of the common folk. I can only hope it does. I write however from a place of positivity steps are being taken to finally address the issues that I hear about even here in the heart of Lagalla. When I finally eventually become Emperor I hope to be able to use these stepping stones to help bridge the divide between Mage and Aspirant drawing us closer as a people.
Today Kendra has had me research incredibly archaic and outdated rituals. She wants me to understand the roots of Dark Magic to more effectively understand itself. Early Dark Magic was harsh and much more demanding, I understand why much of its study was in reducing the side effects of its use before increasing the variety of its uses. Maybe someday I can find a more practical use for the Blood Contract Ritual I ran into with these studies.
I wonder if anyone else has used this ritual recently...
