An Ending
This is a feast of remembrance. Time to honor lost loved ones and keep their memories alive. Tributes and praise.
This feast I remember my Grandmother.
Gran taught me much about caring for the lands that sustained us. I was always told to be grateful for my grandparents; if not for them I'd be alone on the streets after the attack. I was grateful. But Gran always told me it wasn't them keeping me alive. It was the soil and the rain and the sun. The trees that gave us lumber and fruit. The gardens that gave us root and vine. The wood and river that gave us hide and flesh.
She knew that she would one day pass, as would my grandfather, but the lands would still sustain me would I care for it. And they did pass, and I did care for the lands, and I was sustained.
Her wisdom passed to me, and my efforts drew the attention of another who approached the natural world with respect and thanks. The lessons learned from Gran allowed lessons to be learned by Argus. With his aid I stepped foot onto the Druidic path and walk it this day.
But this day, I'm not tending to the soil, nor praising the rain, nor thanking the sun.
I have powers and abilities that supersede anything I thought myself capable of. I've taken advantage of the connection with nature that was bestowed upon me. I've been sustained. But I've stopped sustaining.
There will always be people to protect, problems to be solved, wrongs to right and evil to drive out. These things will exist everywhere.
So why chase them?
Wherever I might plant myself, I will find people to protect, I will gain problems to solve, I will have opportunities to right wrongs and should evil approach, I will stand and drive it out.
I owe it to the lands that gave me life to plant myself there. To protect the creatures there. To solve the problems that grow there. To right the wrongs that my absence may have brought. To be a defender against the evils that encroach.
I owe my home my life more than anything.
I owe the natural world my devotion.
There is my greatest debt, and there is where I must return to repay it.

The major events and journals in Flicker's history, from the beginning to today.
Every time
I don't think we were followed. They would have approached us and tried to kill us in the streets again if we were followed, right? This farm is small. Quaint. I like it. Reminds me of home. Not home from before, but home from after. Qelline is too op...
03:03 pm - 13.03.2022Poor Judgement
How do we know the Coster didn't supply these to the Redbrands? I guess they could have been stolen, or maybe they were given as a tax to avoid a fight. But maybe they are in league with one another and our problems are multiplying! Everything makes m...
09:23 pm - 18.03.2022Second Thoughts
Nice bag. Wonder why Damaia was so interested in it. Doesn't seem sea-worthy with all these patches. Maybe it will hold my herbs. Puts my mind at ease to know that Keth would leave the others if Wolfie and I asked. Pumba chose his library. Radlis c...
10:27 am - 25.03.2022Being Present
Didn't expect to dream about Argus. Haven't in a long time. Huh, doesn't feel much like a dream. I guess they don't always feel like dreams though do they? Or maybe it's not. Maybe when I find Reidoth I'll ask about this magic? Or...What did I eat before ...
03:04 pm - 01.04.2022Getting Through
These things stink. Not like "tough" or "annoying" though that's also true, but stink stink. Commit olfactory offense. I feel like my druidcraft would just add to the smell, not mask it. Fresh air would be nice. Not now, Flicker. We agreed to clean this p...

01:02 pm - 06.05.2022Shell Games
Much needed sleep in a cozy bed at a familiar inn. Above ground. Fresh air. Easily identifiable escape routes. Yes. But first, this recording of events. I never want to make these same mistakes again. Time seemed so strange down there. How long was...
01:20 pm - 13.05.2022Clipped Notes
Softbound Journal #1, page 5 of 25. Definitely still 25. --Uktar 4 Rough night. Didn't sleep well. Doubt anyone did. I want to check on Wolfaen. He'll have taken things hardest. A note is enough for now. Let him come to me if he wants. When he's...

In her youth, little Flicker Greenridge lived in a little town in a little home above a little shop on the side of the road. The shop was run by her father, Mathieu, a charismatic merchant who would often pull Flicker away from her studies to meet his cus...
01:42 am - 29.05.2022During Watch
Softbound Journal #1, page 9 of 25 Nearly done with this hat. More time to log recent events tonight. Rough morning. Maybe an easy night now if my theory is right? Eethyl was different at first. He was quieter. Said he found her things, not her. C...
03:29 pm - 10.06.2022The Band
A human, a fire genasi, and a white-tailed dragonborn walked into a bar. ------------ Each had been in Waterdeep for days, scrounging for scraps. Each on their own playing for pockets of people, hoping some coppers would be thrown their way. That p...
07:43 pm - 20.06.2022Of Apples
Softbound Journal #1, pages 10 and 11 of 25 Today was long. Longer than usual, and not just because we were underground for most of it. I guess underground is nearly 'the usual' now; or it was, Keth said - nevermind what Keth said. I don't think he rea...
07:00 pm - 24.06.2022In Town
Softbound Journal #1, page 12 of 25 Uktar 9 - Last night Sefilwyn asked me a question. Until just a few days ago the others haven't known anything. When for safety's sake I clued them in, some asked, and I was able to be as vague as I like. But her...

Softbound Journal #1, pages 13 and 14 of 25 - - Uktar 11 Good chat with Keth at dinner. Glad he trusts me. Surprised, but glad. Says to trust Eethyl. Bossman hasn't steered me wrong yet. Will talk with the gnome tomorrow then start fresh. E gave ...
12:30 am - 23.07.2022Woodland Walk
This is literally the opposite direction - But do I want to go to Thundertree with them anyway? Reidoth might not like so much company all at once. Every part of this makes me uneasy. But...strong wind, stronger trees and all that. Yikes. Wolf?...
06:09 pm - 29.07.2022Mad Manse
Boars don't seem to be reacting oddly. That one was hit pretty good. Oh ginger root, did Amarille just...is it unconscious or...well if it didn't shift back then these can't be - - nevermind. They are... Why? How could they - They're us...
03:54 pm - 05.08.2022Still Up
Softbound Journal #1, page 15 of 25 We're all okay. Everyone is together again. It's nice. Back in town Wolfaen was able to sneak that rod into my bag without me knowing. Reasonable to assume at any point he could have swiped this journal. Suppose a...

Argus - no, Reidoth, said there's one more. Was his information accurate? Are more being made? Recruited? Brought up or brought back? Are we capable of winning this battle? Can it be won? Are we just slowing the spread of a disease? Are we enough? ...

05:57 pm - 30.09.2022Pip Stonehill
He's a good kid. Was? Is. What business does a dragon have taking a small child? It took cattle, horses, fattened sheep even. It could easily take a full grown man or raze this town in a single night. But it comes in the morning and takes a child. Evi...
07:48 am - 09.10.2022Herbal Teas

02:34 pm - 15.10.2022Ice Wall
Could be a safety net, the dragon's less likely to pierce through and hit me. Could be a stumbling block, prevents movement and sight and slows me down. Bane or boon? ...
12:58 pm - 02.11.2022Going Back
Everyone's alive. Everyone. Even the child, exposed for days to the chill and claw, swallowed whole, alive still. Even Helaena, despite the fall, body and bravado intact. Everyone. ...
