With the Help of Good People

I ended up meeting Eleonora on the way to the castle, and she said she could help me translate. It's obvious that we haven't been on the same page lately, but I'm very glad that at the end of the day she's still my friend. She's just, she's just a good person. We ran into Meta, almost literally, while leaving the castle. She seems preoccupied, but offered to take us to Jhin's study for our research. We got there and Jhin was dead asleep on the middle of the desk w̶e̶l̶l̶,̶ ̶d̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶a̶d̶ ̶c̶h̶o̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶d̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶s̶e̶. Meta just backed out of the room though, and, of course...the book we need is right on top of his desk. Why was he recently reading it?-Doesn't matter, I need it. Ele and I magehanded it right out from under him and it was kind of funny because she has obviously never had to sneak a book from someone like that. I can't even count how many times...anyway, got it. And she helped me translate the Eriosian text.
 
Necros, not a God of the Dead but a God who is dead: And there was this drawing of an old brittle skull covered in..I think it was dirt, and this maggot crawling out of it. "While Necros isn’t a god that exists now, whoever they were was god of disease, pestilence, death" . The physical corpse of Necros contains untold necromancer knowledge. Said corpse ends up inherently destroying the land around it, coming in the form of a plague.
 
So hey- I have *something* Even if it is pretty morbid, what did I expect, the god of flowers?
 
Jhin woke up when the others came in. We told him about our adventure. He.. well he mostly seemed sleepy to be honest. He told us Meta has to go home, but he's fairly certain her family is dead. At the end of the day though I couldn't think of anything to say to her to stop her so...well I don't know, but she's a very also a very good person and I don't feel good about it.

Post-Script: Ele stopped for a long time on a page in that book about the Eriosian God of Chaos. Just....just remember that Wren.
