My Path Revealed 2 of 5: Glowing Madness

The Dryworld is a remarkable place! Though I shall forever lament my lack of swimming abilities on dry land, the lengths the Dryworlders have gone to in order to swim around their curse of groundedness are admirable. One of my companions recently unearthed an entire habitat from magic alone. On his command, chiselled stone spires pierced the sky, and an entire living space within could be found, grand enough to house a small village and warmer than a reef-vent. A small pocket of water had even been provided for me, and I spent the night suspended in Selune’s blissful, waterborne slumber.
 
But it didn’t last.
 
The spires failed and the magic became twisted, ejecting us all as though through unseen volcanic pressure. As we scrambled to find our wits, we were set upon by creatures that defy explanation. They belonged to a group of land-creatures called ‘lizards’, and they looked something like a shark that is forced to walk upright, its tail limp and lazy behind it.
 
The fight was brutal, and amongst the carnage, a companion was felled. The paladin Cormac was overwhelmed. I wonder if the abyssal Heol smiled as we bathed in its blooden glow.
 
Danni was able to revive Cormac. I did not realise how attached I had gotten until we almost lost him. I now realize it was likely due to Jade being the only Drylander I knew previously, and also of dwarven birth? I must remember to ask Cormac if he has made her acquaintance. This information was almost lost forever, and that thought fills me with darkness. Selune can guide us with her light, but she is not the protector of knowledge. I wonder, should I search beyond her rays for my answers? If Selune were willing to grace us with this knowledge, would not she have bestowed it upon us through her tidal songs? Wouldn’t the temple already know?
 
I dislike that I am having these thoughts. I wonder if my faith in Selune falters, and it hurts my heart to put it to paper thus, but truth must be respected, no matter how harsh.
 
Selune, please continue to guide me, and show me how I must proceed, before the leering fire in the sky consumes my prayers before they reach your ears.
