Notes of the Navigator
Written by Artemi (Sean)
It is Frostwane, I had forgotten... The caravan makes a stop on the side of the road to begin a pop-up celebration of the holiday. Food, drink, song, and accompanying revelry. Security is thin and it makes me nervous...
I took it upon myself to establish a proper perimeter, not enough fighters in this group, we're sitting ducks out here. The festivities are nothing if not nostalgic, I think back to past Frostwane celebrations back home... mother always made sure to drag Adrik and I to the Sand Castle to entertain the children, Adrianna always was so appreciative of us for that, I didn't mind, I got to hear mother sing... if only I could hear her sing again, just once more is all I would need...
A fucking explosion! This is what happens when you let your mind wander! Focus on the task at hand, you fool... Mews and I are the first to arrive at the scene of the explosion, a lot of things I barely understand take place but, it seems we all have gotten to experience a Snarl first hand... what caused it and why are not for me to know or understand but, innocent children nearly died... I will not let this continue, I'll lay waste to this king and all he holds dear if I must...
We arrive in Dawnway with no further issue beyond the Snarl. After arrival at the venue of the rally, we catch our first glimpse of this Knightengale. A woman, she carried a powerful aura, not of tangible magic or physical power but, one of charisma. This entire room would die for her without question. Darwin and Hector disappeared... I'll not ask questions, it only matters that my men are ok. Darwin returned without Hector, I expected more resistance from Darwin but, I suppose he trusts me with the information. I will not disrespect the boy's trust in me, Hector owes me no answers, as long as he's not in danger, I will not press the issue.
We have our audience with the Knightengale herself... and all it took was one spell to force the truth out of me... The team know my name, my true name. I do not know what this will mean, if they will continue to trust me. I cannot afford to start over. блядь...
