A Journal Entry
Hello, Book..
Once again I've neglected you, my apologies. It's been unpleasantly quiet in the Tabernacle with Nikola and Mandolus gone, I've been spending more time in Kjeldoran and always forget to take you with me..
Many peculiar stirrings as of recent, some I have yet to act on as I lay wait to see how they play out. There have been returns to the lands and a bit of news from the two High Priests.
Kamenoko has returned. At first when I saw him there was a flare of anger at his actions of the past. The truth is often not a pretty picture and simply because he did not like the truth doesn't make it any less true. What I said I said based on cold hard facts and his reaction annoyed me tremendously. But to live in the past is to dance with regret and ghosts so once the initial flare cooled, I went to him. His choice of clans surprised me but aside from a minor situation where he had to be reminded that he is a guest in the lands, it is a good thing to see him back. Before there was trouble I held a high opinion of him, something rare for me when dealing with mortals.
And even stranger than Kamenoko, I was awoken the other night by the strangest vision of Exodus of all beings. Exodus. He wasn't the same but he was still very much Exodus. He seemed to be in the Church of Shadows, come back to see how what he created had become. I immediately grabbed my scrying glass and honed in and it was in fact Exodus.
I didn't watch for long, it would be impossible to conceal my scrying if I kept it up, no matter what shape he was in he is still Exodus and I would be felt. I don't know what he was doing or when he arrived but the watchers have been dispatched, there has to be a reason for this...
And then there is this Sarantus, a newcomer. For reasons I can't grasp he has caught my attention. He reminds me a bit of Exodus but maybe it's just what I saw that has me confused.
I'm going to close this now, I have much to write of Nikola and Mandolus but the chime rings downstairs, Oaklore is at the door and there are things to be discussed, changes and plans to be gone over.
More later, cherished book..
