Invaders and Invitations

Did you know there are bird people!?!? Well, I guess you didn’t. You’re me. I didn’t! Do you know how often I read? Yes you do, stop asking your journal stupid questions Wren. I thought I knew everybody in the Esterland Valley but these things literally swooped in and tried to kill us. We holed up in the basement, I tried to talk to them but their weren’t interested... no one ever wants to talk to me. .. Wanted to know our leader, obviously invaders. They had these spears, cut right through my shoulder, a few times. Reminder- learn more battle magic
 
I passed out at one point and woke up upstairs. I’m choosing to not think about why.
 
I spent all next day at the library in the institute learning about them.
 
Also- IM GOING TO SECRIX! Kinda. We went to tell King Jhin about the attack and he pulled his favor card if you will. He gave us a choice if what we could help with. And I tried, journal I tried SO HARD to get everybody to choose Secrix. If I knew a spell that would have convinced them I would have done it. I get to go to Secrix! AND take my friends! AND have another reason to go so if he asks why I’m there I can be like, “oh! I didn’t even know you were here! I’m very important now you now.” What else am I going to say? No clue. Plans were never my forté.
 
So we’re headed down south but they said we could “swing by” Secrix first. It’s a ways out of the way- but they said they’d do it! And I think they’re doing it for me? Which is.. nuts. I think they’re actually starting to like me! Well, I always kinda figured Ele did; but it is really hard to tell with her sometimes.
 
Speaking of, I’m a little worried about Ele, she’s seeing things again. She said during the fight there were scars on my face. You know what, she could just be stupid. Blood was pouring out of neck after all. Wouldn’t be surprised if a talon got in my hair or something. But after the golden apple thing I’m feeling a bit protective. Worried. I hope she’s okay. Wren you finally found a best friend and she’s insane weird, go figure.
