while on the train to "starilaskur" leali told us about how her research into draconic prophecy got her punted out of two different universities
she's only in morgrave's "department of secondary research" because it's the closest they'd let her get to their school of divination
i don't know why she's so unpopular but i like her style and determination
she's like me but for old impenetrable texts instead of glorified crockery
she had this one particular piece she felt might be relevant to our interests and she wanted to read it out loud to us
but wouldn't you know that draconic is an inherently magical language
it has ... properties
while she read each in our group of six had their own unique vision of the sort that feels too specific and real to be mistaken for daydreaming
for example mine was a place back home that every pony knows about but i have never been to called "silverdream"
the reason we all know about it is that it's the home of an artifact called the "crystal heart" which follows through on the promise of being a heart carved out of clear quartz
(the symbol but not the organ because that would be just a little creepy)
it's one of the sacred treasures of the everglow and while i don't know all the details i know it helps protect the land from invaders
in the vision i stood in front of it and felt its warmth throughout my completed self
or rather i was almost complete because something wasn't right inside me
a "cold shut" is what we call it when cast metal cools at different rates and creates a weak join that can split easily and that's what it felt like deep inside
i just knew i had to patch it because otherwise i wouldn't survive being reforged
so that's all i saw and felt but even just that tells me so much
also medya had her own vision in which she was complete and flying which tells me even more
it's a second confirmation that she and i both will definitely accomplish our goals
we
will
do
this
thing
it's notable that in relic's vision he saw an undead draconic elf (which i guess is a thing that can exist) and she had a dragonmark that was in his words "reminiscent of mine but bigger"
that caught rakela's interest so relic showed her the only dragonmark-on-a-forged in existence
in return she revealed a little secret of her own
surprise! she's in the brelish military
to her great credit she then excused herself from the discussion "before anyone says something i'd have to report"
i'm pretty sure we can still trust her but now we have to be even more mindful of who has what secrets and i really don't like having to keep track of secrets
mostly because when i don't know if something is supposed to be secret i'm likely to share it
hey millimax has that ever gotten you into trouble
yes
yes it has
