Day 7
I saw Tatiannia's journal today, with her permission of course. The
days of evil are truly upon us for she has angered me more than once
these past few days. Even now I struggle to keep my temper in check.
As if she, of all people, should worry about ME straying from the light!
Such hypocrisy makes my blood boil. I am bound to the Dark Lord, but
I hate it and continue to fight this repulsive attraction that Fate
hath dealt me.
In all that has happened she has acted the most insanely, but she
is right in one respect; I too believe Seluctruh's words of love mask
his true intent to reclaim the powers of the Darkstone. He is evil incarnate
and hath no soul, as such he can never truly love anyone, that much
I do know...Apparently it is I who should be afraid for Tatianna, not
the other way around. But strangely, I feel no fear, not for her or
any of the other gods. Tis as though a destiny awaits us all, and to
try and defer from it will not be easy. I cannot, however, continue
to follow her. Her erratic behavior, and more importantly her lack of
faith in me, leaves me sad. I shall set out upon my own course, following
no one, going where Fate guides me. Perhaps in time things will become
more clear.
As for the people of our realm, I fear for them, but their strength
and will to overcome the evil in these past days hath given me hope.
Seeing them all band together to fight the darkness of these 13 days,
hath given me a ray of hope and allowed my faith in them to be restored.
For now I go into semi-seclusion and must concentrate on saving the
Island I have found, for the darkness lies heavily there. In these dangerous
times much of the light is being shadowed and I shall not see this island
become a haven for evil.
I have already drawn away from Windy Bluff, and spend most of my time
on this little isle. I am choosing to stand over it in hopes of protecting
those that venture here. The light of my halo spreads over it, bathing
it in a strange glow, yet I feel another woman's powers at work here.
She is powerful and evil. For now I have chosen to hide my presence
from her, and keep watch from a distance. Perhaps when the 13 days of
evil have passed, the people of the realm shall come out to battle her,
but for now, I have created ways to keep them from her reach.
Still, I am weary and confused, too much has been happening, and I
feel a strangeness within me. I think it is the emptiness of the space
that Tatianna once filled...Whatever it may be, I know that destiny
calls to me, and for now, I shall strive to continue unwaveringly upon
this path foreordained by destiny.
