Ow
Entry 2
Sorry, I sat down to jot down some notes on the magic down here, and that was all I could think of last night. Anyway. I think I’ve learned a valuable lesson recently, and it’s that I am right always. When I last had a chance to jot down some quick thoughts before entering this hell hole, I said I was convinced that if we went down, many of us wouldn’t come back. GUESS WHO WAS RIGHT. First, I turned to stone and was brought back to life by Cat- though, to be fair, I do now have cool lightning magic that lets me heal my friends when I use enough power- then, I was possessed by a stone, then I was crushed by more stone, and then Kara decided to smash a powerful orb and knocked everyone out except herself. Okay, in retrospect, I realize that a lot of these things were definitely avoidable, but still, I hate it here, especially because I can connect with these poor people’s minds but can do nothing to help them without putting my friends at risk. We’ve finally made our way back to the closest semblance to a home base we could have here, and I’ve blockaded the door with my magic, so we should have enough time to rest. While the end of our exploration feels imminent, I find myself wondering if I ever will see the sky again, and I wonder if my friends are feeling the same.
Rainier is now absent-mindedly messing with the appearance of tiny hut to try to make some semblance of a blue sky.
I have to say that the mutterings of the orb- before Kara destroyed it, that is- left me more unsettled than before, if that’s even possible. I fear that when it comes to the end, when we finally face whatever dark force is holding all of these people hostage, I won’t be strong enough to protect my friends. Worse, I fear that this creature’s hold on me is strong enough that I might be one of the things to put them in danger.
