I've found this new method of writing a journal which should make it much easier. Excellent.
 
There's a journal I started somewhere, I can't find it at the moment, so let me begin anew with, well, what seems to be a new life. Emerald and I are not what we thought, which has happened twice or three times now. There's so much to tell it's completely overwhelming. I'm glad she journals as much as she does.
 
Essentially, we were given a choice by our respective gods. Consent was given. And then each of us was shown a Vision, or a memory, really, of past us's. Which isn't a word, but so be it. In the past, apparently, we were very different beings. She a gold dragon, and myself a deva. Which seems impossible and arrogant to write out but it is the truth. These are our truths now, and always have been.
 
It seems that the lovers, the devoted couple that was the Deva Aithen and the Gold Dragon Ackethesund, were separated by war. She fell first, then I followed, and our spirits sought out another pair that could be what we needed through reincarnation. Then the twins Emerald and Ethan were born. She, Ackethesund, flew first into the infant girl, and I followed minutes later into her brother. Which obviously makes our relationship beyond awkward, but it does explain my feelings for her. And, as it's developed, hers for me.
 
Now we are able to access those powers, through the grace of our respective blessed Lords. I still don't fully understand it, but somehow he is me, but not me. A past other-me. So I'm Lord Ethan Montclaire but at the same time the Deva of the past, Aithen. When she speaks this name to me, it does something, like a plucked harp string, and I remember... something. It's not even a fully conscious something, but some bit of my soul responds to this name. And somehow Mother could feel something, else why name us so similarly? Her draconic name means "green gem." Emerald. Which is a bit odd for a gold dragon, but that's a mystery for another time.
 
In visiting Ilmater's shrine and Emerald's Miracle in Elturel to warn my brethren of a threat, we encountered Lady LeCroix who was seeming to pray, but not to my Lord of the Rack. Something was amiss, and with the help of her protégé Sarah we determined there was some kind of fiend inside her, which explains much. I tracked down the head Sister of the temple, and we took her to Emerald's summoned mansion to deliver the news, only to discover that she, too, was of the hells. Some kind of pit fiend, in my temple! She nearly had me, but I had the presence of mind to pray for Jophiel's help, and Emerald shielded me with a draconic wing, so we did survive it. The pit fiend did not. I ran her through the head with the spear that I thankfully had brought with me in the form of the Rod of Lordly Might.
 
When we emerged from the mansion... Elturel was gone. Completely. From the necropolis below up to the Companion itself. The only thing remaining now is Emerald's miracle.
 
Which.... now that I think on it... and perhaps this is not the place to put in for myself on that achievement, but I WAS there, after all. I did a portion of the work to create it, even if I do call it Emerald's miracle. But the thing that occurs to me as I write this is... what if my part was bigger than I had realized, because of the hidden Deva inside me? And she would have been more powerful than we knew, as well. Perhaps that is part of the explanation for how it could survive. Why would the rest of the entire city be disappeared into the hells, while the statue of Ilmater and surrounding area of the miracle remain? How could it be more powerful than the hells? I will need to consult with my Lord on this question.
