S31

Arrived at Shimmerlake near to mid day. Friend ArlanVal showed credentials to academy unto the guards at the gate and all weret allowed through. After such we asked around for girl oft name Miss Elara. Blonde with blue eyes, medium height, and slim build. Inn keeper asked for any further distinguishing features ast many girls in Shimmerlake met such a description. With regrets there wast little gain in such ground and nothing further came from innkeeper in kind. Friend Ashton began introducing self by name in loud boisterous way. In hopes to attract miss Elara's attention.
 
Friend ArlanVal wast displeased with havings to return to Eoman. A man one such ast I also hast no desires to spake unto ast his treatment oft miss Rux wast most terrible. Friend Mara became most small and learned to control her rage and shiftings oft sizes. A most flash talent to learn!
 
Enterings the academy grounds oft proper we passed by a grand fountain with a hustle bustle oft students and travelers. Friend Ashton spake wast strange to be back. Didst not know he had such grand educations. Friend ArlanVal spake hast been only a month since his leavings. Seems odd to haft been such a short time. Yet must be true, meaning hast four to five moons afore coming oft age ceremony. This good ast still havings much to do and hopes to findings oft mine brother ist still possible.
 
During such thinkings out oft no where Friend Harper gave answer oft yes to his desire to beings willing to give up most anything to save and bring back Lady Luisa. Most dangerous a proposition and one which drew mine mind back to present. A most unwelcome distraction.
 
Still for best supposings ast group walked up large wide stairway and through double door. Polish floors, clean plastered walls and decorations most grand greeted us ast enterings. Near to the front oft the room we entered wast a large map of the building and a desk with mayhaps someone behind it, but didst not pay it any attentions. Artificer's office wast friend ArlanVal's aim and wast found in basement oft this building. Down the stairs that run through the center oft the building we found a large workshop not in use on this day. Further back beyond said workshop Friend ArlanVal led us to a secluded office with amber windows and introduced us unto the Artificer Dunbar. A short balding man with a red fading to gray beard shaped into the points oft a star. Friend ArlanVal had questions to ask. Spake upon Sigurd Hest and a man named Rudra. Some words weret exchanged. That the laboratory was not on this land, but given stead to 'other' place. Seems ist dangerous to make such a journey without havings been there afore?
 
As to mineself asked ift Artificer hast relations to artifacts ast hast purple mana bark and thought one who deals in creation oft such things might take an interest in such a thing. Friend Velvet wast directed to close the door and draw the blinder by the Artificer. Made presentation oft manabark, setting it upon the cloth and desk. Then traded for platinum card worth two thousand two hundred gold which wast given unto friend ArlanVal and friend Ashton. Then made questions on spaking on demons and the like. Gave tip to spake unto half elf warlock professor by name oft Morwind Shadowgrave, fancies herself pale and usings lots oft black make up.
 
From such went unto vice headmaster Eoman's office. Decided to keep from entering. This ist man haft no desire to spake unto.
 
After discussion that seemed to haft left others in poor mood came upon ast group to Morwind Shadowgrave to spake on the cult and gave information that she had been approached by the cult oft the yellow eye for recruitment. She declined their advances, but wast aware oft them. Asked on the grasp oft the demonic upon Lady Luisa. Learned wouldst need to cut the fiend oft from the person entirely. Using protective wards to ensure control canst be retaken. Gave advice for.. ab..jur.er.. professor Shieldheart, she ist most renowned for it. Couldst also slay the demon by name oft Felcelcius who grasps her to free, yet only way to find wouldst be to go to the abyss where she ist. A pocket.. dim.. emn... the laboratory oft Friend Harper's father wouldst not suffice. Her words showed that the collected hadst become near to demons themselves and likely couldst not be broken free oft the demon and without their own desire to break free they couldst not and near to certainly wouldst not haft such desire to break free.
 
Came upon this woman. This Arillia Shieldheart. She ist a human with bright red hair, clothes that run from red to pink to orange robes. Same age as mine pa, but still looks youthful for age. Friend Harper made discussion and spake unto her for how to make wards to break the hold on the Lady Luisa. wouldst need a piece oft the essence oft the creature exerting the control. Tall order wast spake upon all around. Seems needed to draw soul bond out. So must go and find this demon Felcelcious, best it in combat, and steal such a thing from it. Then using such a fragment use such ast part oft magic circle to trap the Lady Luisa within? Seems... great deal oft difficulty and trouble?
 
Asked oft Friend Ashton how met oft Miss Elara. Seems met through parents. Lands that settled on attracts monsters and monstrous men, not to spake ill oft Thornfields. He seems to think miss Elara seemed nice, but wast oft same mind in wishings to do what he wisht without regard for betterment oft his peoples. Wast most similar to mine own situation. He went on with questions about why he shouldst be expected to do such a thing and one such ast I had to bite mine tongue and ask ift he expected an answer ast answer one such ast I wouldst give ist one which wouldst not be found most kindly am oft imagining.
 
Friend Velvet went to search for contact, and gained information as to current location oft Miss Elara, seems to haft made journey to south. To port city known ast Southport.
 
Friend Velvet also learned oft wagons bringings items from Southport to Academy but not returnings. Most strange. Likely coincidence for miss Elara and her habits. Also made mention the young king ist seeking oft sending a peace envoy across the mountains. Ist concernings to Friend Mara and others ast well.
