The Split

by Kalshana

Virikhad has left. The two strangers who are not Warden have left. We will soon be sailing again. Sailing isn't too bad once you get used to the waves and the hard work is good for contemplation but I cannot but help feel sad to see him go. I should restrain myself more. Emotions are...part of me but they will not and cannot overrule my mind. It is still a shame to see him leave but I suppose I can understand why. Tetkashtai was his life partner. If we had left Adar then I fully expected that they would get closer and have children. Perhaps they will wake out of that spell - even if Medalshana's eyes...
 
They still could. Medalshana was brilliant and Tetkashai was fierce, strong willed. I am sure they will and they will soon catch up with me in New Cyre. I am sure of it. If not then...they will either bring the Light to the people or go to the Light.
 
I cannot think on it any longer.
 
Warden is...strange but I like him. He might have not told us the entire truth when we met but he helped us and was even trying to convince Virikhad to stay. I haven't seen him take off his armor - which may be a custom - and he seems to be on a long fast and spends a lot of time in meditation. If he is not on the Path of Light then he must have some other dedication to good which is of merit to his people.
 
His compatriots I am less sure of, the one called Singe certainly distrusts us and tells us all these things about Riedra, about the charity work they do! Those fiends are seen as Good in this place! The concept is hard to understand - the people here do not understand the Inspired or the Dreaming Dark or anything about the reality of home. Whilst I understand - the things I have seen here could not be prepared in any text or tome - the absolute lies that the Inspired have spread here is astonishing. I suppose I must look at that like an opportunity, to educate the people here that they are wholeheartedly talking nonsense. Still, it is...troubling.
 
Still, I will be seeing a new city soon. New Cyre. I wonder if it has a lot of people on it?
