Meyvel 9th

Rayth and Len are gone. They packed up their things after the game and came to my door to say goodbye. I can understand why they left. They have their own goals, and more importantly it was putting us in danger to travel with them. They're wanted criminals, they need to lay low and wait for the mess to be forgotten or else the killing of detectives that get too close and bounty hunters will continue. I'm glad they thought of our safety, and while I hope to see them again, I don't really think it will happen.

I wonder if Rayth will ever reach his goal of becoming half vampire again. And I wonder if that's even possible. If Jerin is reading this, Do you know if such a thing is possible? I mean, being a vampire is not a good thing, but it's who he was for so long, and it's good to be ourselves right?

I think I've lost my taste for cities though, I'm going to try to gather the group together and get to this Fae town Aile is from. It will probably cheer Kanai up immensely to be traveling again.

Meyvel 3rd

Apparently Aria has made people mad, and abandoned them heartlessly. I am not surprised. Ru is afraid of her after all. I figured she was either cold hearted or in loved with him. She honestly didn’t even remember the man. Again, not surprised.

Aris’s reach is further than I expected, and there are wanted posters of Len and Rayth all over town. To confuse the issue Rayth and Len both got haircuts. Len’s looks a lot like my little brothers. It’s tempting to ruffle his hair and see if he reacts the same. I’ll try not to though. Len seems overly sensitive about his hair. I hope he learns to like it or finds a way to grow it long again. I’d hate for him to be sad over it.

He also panics whenever anyone mentions Rayth and him together. I’ve poked at this verbally a few times, and gotten the same reaction. I might have to ask Rayth why. I know there are taboos against things like that, but really, we’d be sawing off the tree limb we’re standing on if we took offense to Len and Rayth breaking a taboo like that.

I donated to Kanai’s shrine here. I would get him a better gift, but I think that’s the greatest gift I can give right now, since the way I understand it, the belief in KANAI the god of travel is what will help keep his power separate from Wyvern long enough for us to take it back somehow. I don’t want to see him fade away…and if he was permanently mortal I think he’d be sad.

I’m going to try to look for work while we’re here for the week. I want to buy a better set of armor, and that won’t be cheap.

Meyvel 2nd - Vadiane

I finally did it! I managed to tap into the talent Rayth and Len had been certain I had and cast a shaky but real light spell. I've been trying for awhile but didn't mention it because I didn't want to disappoint anyone. I have a few more ideas that I can try now that I understand how this works better.

We found Vadiane. The land was drained of color and life... words can not convey the horror and rage I felt when I saw what had become of it. You could see what it once was, hidden beneath it all. And in that moment, if Wyvern had appeared before me dying begging for his life, I would have walked away, leaving him to linger and die. Something that could destroy a place so completely doesn't deserve compassion. Either the people that lived there had been killed and eaten by the creature that now lived there, or they'd fled, for we found no corpses. They left in a hurry though, as everything appeared like people just dropped what they were doing and ran. We killed the creature wrapped around the statue of Wynn, and released it's hold on the land.

There's color there now, but I don't know if the fae will return to it. At least, I don't know if they'll return to it while Wyvern still controls the tree. I know that this likely got his attention though. I worry about an all out fight against him. We all pretend not to realize it but he's essentially holding the lives of the people in the tree and kanai's divinity hostage.

Oddly the statue of Wynn looks a whole lot like Aile. I wonder if she went off and had children he didn't know about or something? Hm.

Looking at Vadaine my faith in the other gods helping us against this failed a little more. Where were they when all this started. Why did they let it happen? Yes, there's evil gods, but there are gods that claim to be good and just. Why didn't they stop this before it came to this? They want our worship, but leave us to clean up the messes they leave behind. Hypocritical. Of course, if you're reading this Jerin, I am not referring to gods who have a strict policy of non-involvement, but to those that took Kanai away from us and tried to punish him for his attempts to fix something that should have never gotten this bad.

As a side note, I know now that I suffer no damage from the desert like Mihaly had said. I believe everything she said to be true or as close to the truth as she knows it.
