Friends?

by Secilia

The events of Alfarid is just kind of all a blur now. There was so much going on, I really can't make heads or tails of it.
I haven't been in a group of capable travelers and fighters for sometime now...and even then...
 
no one survived....
 
I was worried that this hydra fight would be such the same...I tired to disconnect myself from it...
 
I lost my family...
My friends...
That Goliath...it's been so long ... and all I've done is just block it all out...even his name escapes me...
 
But if it weren't for him, I may not have even made it this far...
 
If I become to attached...will the past repeat it's self?
 
And my patron...the vile creature. he is becoming more active.
 
What is he plotting? Or am I getting closer to finding a way to stop him that he is beginning to worry?
 
That aside....Now that I am in the place...Wei Jang? did he call it?
 
Though as sickening as it feel here with all the undead...There may be a wealth of information that can aid me in finding a way to end this undead curse...That and that interesting staff or rod....Anything to help me end this curse...both the undead and mine...
 
Maybe away to consecrate the land of my home town...save it from it's fate...How I wish to know of my childhood friends...do they still live?
 
Too ashes to this all... It's maddening to keep thinking of the past...
 
Maybe one day I can start a real life for myself...rid myself of this horrid creatures hold...
 
Should I continue on a path of wizardry or sorcery? Should I just retire after all is said in done...become a baker...or a tavern owner...Oh the tales I'll tell.
 
This is but a distant wish right now...I must stay focus...
 
-Looking at her talisman- -addressing her self- Secilia, you need to open up more...get to know your companions.
Inara is an elf with some powerful spells...She seems to know a lot about elven culture...maybe she can help me know more about my heritage...I really don't even know much of her.
 
Inira... Such an interesting creature...she employs the undead to do her dirty work....but yet she doesn't seek to forsake man kind...Can I trust this type of magic? she hasn't given me any reason not to.
 
Grimaldus seems to have the power of healing as well...though he does not seem he focuses purely on that...He like he seeks "war"...Did he say his god is dead? I want to know more...following the faith of a dead god...or is he even following it at all...Though I suppose it would be nice not to feel restrained by a patron... I must know more.
 
Dekar , This man, not too talkative...Just like Inira, I've met him on past travels but yet to really be able to really get to know him...He seems focused on a single task as I am...and he seemed very enthused about helping rid me of my patron...or it could just be the pleasure he derives from killing gods...either way...whatever his motivation...If it helps me kill this damned monsters...I will not deny the help....I just hope he won't face the same fate as my old companions.
 
Rowan, ever the curious thing. I like her...she is fun...She does seem to get off track, but she does have a goal in mind, and a grand one indeed! Maybe there is something I can do to help her. Though she seems to have the fearless conviction of a child, always ready to go into that unknown...I just keep remembering...she went off into that forest with that random mushroom...We need to keep an eye on her....or she may even surprise us.
 
Hasim -- He knows a lot about this land...he could be a well of information ...though it seems he gets himself into a lot of trouble.....It's still tragic what happened to his wife...and now he won't be able to see his child grow ... Maybe there is something I can do to try to help him in the future...he's help our group so much so far...his knowledge of this land ... and his questionable connections... I must give back some how.
 
And last... Uriel... I don't know if I can even call you a friend... an other worldly being....may guardian who has been protecting me...Common goals.... Wherever our path leads us...and where ever our journey ends together.... You've been here for me the longest, and you survived just like me...if not to you... but to me,
 
you are my friend.
