Sundered Ruins: Entry 3

As I am writing this down the hag, Ginevera, is only mere feet away from the hut wall starring daggers in our direction. It's unnerving to have the attention of such a dark and shifty creature, but there's nothing we can do now. We'll just have to wait and see when she'll make her move for the shard and be prepared for her when she does. In all honesty though, we owe her thanks for saving the lives of our party members and for also showing us the real danger these ruins posses. Subduing those Chasme was a challenge, one that we barely escaped from. However, that fight also dredged up a lot of unanswered questions. The demon spoke of Tharizdun before we ran, nothing of importance but now i wonder what draws this war here instead of more populated places in Drass. Why not fight for the land that lies beneath the darkness?
 
Although there are many shrouded areas on the path ahead, things have begun to clear ever so slightly. We meet a blacksmith, an elf who seemed wise beyond his years. He was kind but spoke of such complex notions, he briefly mentioned how the gods treat us like pawns in their great games. This sparked an idea within me; what if it wasn't Na'Keks that killed my mother but he is merely a piece in someone else's scheme. The blue dragon mentioned it before but I brushed it aside, now I wonder if maybe she was telling the truth seeing what I have seen.
 
The stories of Na'Keks before and of what I have seen of him now don't match either; someone doesn't change like that, not all of a sudden. Maybe I've been wrong this entire time.
