Dead to me

by Nepheri

Seems I finally got to see my dad again. I'm not sure what I expected out of that, but it wasn't this. Not at all.
 
A few things happened first I guess. Kaia returned to her temple. We went to spy on dad's meeting with someone. That someone seems to have been Mahry who we previously knew as a golem maker. And both of them in league with the Hemple of the Harvest. So I confronted dad. Not sure if that was a good idea or a bad idea, but I did.
 
He claims mum and him were drifting apart... Hardly the story she told me. But I'm not sure he cares enough about me to lie. And at first, I thought he had gone paler with time. It wasn't until I was about to leave that I might use the sight granted by the Raven Queen... and it revealed the lack of life in him and the stench of undeath.
 
My own father... I didn't care enough to truly hate him before, but now... Somehow I feel more betrayed by him. The fact that he's my dad and so truly everything I hate. I need to destroy him. I need for him to be destroyed, but preferably I want to burn him to dust myself for everything he's done. And now he and, ugh, Kelara are destroying lives together and exploiting people's fear of death to feed themselves. I'm not sure if I'm more angry, sad, or horrified. But I know I have trouble holding back my tears.
 
I managed to find some calm in prayer at the temple of the Raven Queen. The sanctum of fate and the natural progression of life brings me comfort and I have Faith in my Queen. Even Dworik tried to seek her aid, though I don't think he's a man made for faith.
 
Meeting up with the others again, we apparently got a new friend - a member of the Harpers. Nutter - the seeming ally of Mahry from when they came asking for the Manual of Golem Creation. But he claims to have infiltrated the Temple and wants to help us take it down. Apparently, there is a basement to their building, which has a kidnapped Rupert as well as an altar to Cyric. Great an evil god involved as well. And one who killed Mystra and caused the Spellplague isn't one of the better ones in my book. But Nutter also gave us a list of the top members of their organization, A powerful bunch it seems... We need to be careful. And gather as much information on dear old dad and his whore of a partner.
