Arcaite 5
So many things happened in such rapid succession it almost feels like I’m in a story. You are. But who is the author? I met with Seasil hoping she could give us a few leads to go off of. After showing her the map we have she stated that was about a quarter of what used to be for the Manaketes. We spoke about the Ash Codex unsurprisingly there are inaccuracies. How curious. Should be expected in such things. More importantly her stories about the powers that some of the Royal Manaketes help me finish
making the connections I needed. There are stones out there who imbue it’s holder with power. The stone my mother had manipulates time. I need to retrieve that as soon as possible off of Cassander, finding a way to cure him more imperative than ever or someone may steal the stone and we lose Cassander. Perhaps I should take it now, so that I know it is well protected. Surely the knight would agree that such a valuable asset is worth one life?
There is another wrinkle. Seasil may very well be less alone then we thought. The dragon girl we are trying to find. She would've been born after the shifter uprising which means others survived it. It shouldn't be too unexpected actually. It's hard to destroy all of something to find every last member of a race or culture. Then also given they have nothing but time they can certainly all wait out generations of even the longest lived Taguel or Laguz. What if their time is soon? Will there be a resurgence and what will that mean for Orn?
After leaving from Seasil and the myriad of revelations our talk I ran straight into Orion. After a short exchange Iiji and Penelope ran into us. More revelations abound. A mysterious dark knight giving out threats with a stolen sword. A suicide was actually likely a murder. But who could have done it? Honestly evidence and timing point towards Alessander and Draco but it could be any number of other people as well. Then there’s the matter of the Manakete girl looking for the Onyx stone, with the power to raise the dead. It seems the people collecting masks are also involved likely trying ot collect these stones but for what purpose? How do they know about them? It’s times like this I feel further isolated from everyone else. How do I trust when it’s been ripped apart so often?
You don't.
A lot has happened this month and yet I fear we are only scratching the surface for what's happening in this world.
