Upcoming Events

**Eco1** · 07-27-2008, 02:49 AM

Daelus and Cazen tried to comfort me today on a near close death in the sewers under Sundren. We found out that some lizards down there were trying to collapse parts of the cities and tried to stop them. Apparently they are led by a lizard like creature calling himself Wrathscale. We killed some of his minions and some lizard folk creature that was speaking for him before we faced him. He was quite strong and aparently nearly killed all three of us but we were saved by some others that were with us who managed to drag our bodies away from the conflict though I'm affraid wrathscale was able to get away. I found myself once again being helped by members of Umberlee to restore life in my body. I have been searching my soul on these matters for the last few days. I have been trying to think of the reason why this is happening to me that I'm being restored by enemies of my god. All I can think of is that I'm being punished by the gods for my actions. I know what those actions are too. Is it such a crime to seek to gain knowledge of other ways of life other then the one of your upbringing? Is it a crime to run from your homeland and loved ones to try and grow as a being? Is it so selfish? It seems the gods have given me their answer and it has put me so very low right now. I will continue to try and live through this and learn what I can from it though that will not deminish the shame it will bring to my heart every time I must swallow my pride to take a serious beating by being helped by the enemies of the dolphin prince. So very low I am...wheres those goods I bought from Veront...

Nocte is dillusional I swear. I was out with him and a few others in some hills fighting gnolls and the whole time he thought I was interested in him. He was acting the same way with a woman down by the camp fire at the Exigo Trading Post. Its almost sad the way he goes around beging practicaly for some woman to jump into his arms. Though I must admit that his beging can be almost cute in a wierd sort of way once in a while. I am starting to have my doubts about Brooke. Cazen was very agitated and today and was about to tell me something and he vaguely mentioned Brooke's name and how he rarely saw her now days and ws starting to feel like he didn't even know her. No sooner had he said this to me then he started to argue with some man over something I no longer remember. I saw Brooke and tried to get her attention because I knew Cazen really was upset with not seeing his love when she proceeded to tell me she didn't have the time to speak. I am starting to wonder about those two. I guess it is in the gods' hands. Though in truth I did see them with one another later that day and they seemed to have resolved what ever was bothering Cazen so perhaps things are going along swimingly. Let us hope so.

Well it finally happened today. I finally had to put Nocte into check. He was talking to the Samauri warrior and started to tell lies about me wanting to see his rear. All I asked was whether he had a tail since he has those horns upon his head. Hes the one who insisted on lowering his clothing to prove to me he had no tail. A simple yes or no would have done for me. Hes so self conceided I sware. Anyways, I couldn't let everyone around the camp fire think I was some begging pant dropper harlot so I went up to him and socked him in the stomach. I was a bit surprised to be honest that he slapped me when I did that but I do believe him when he said that it was simply a reflex action and nothing personal. Daelus thinks I may have made things worse with him by showing that his words touched a nerve in me but oh well what happens happens. Later on me and Daelus had a great time fighting goblins in the hills to the south east. We almost killed the chief! The coward ran away however before we could finish him off. I'm glade he is my friend I always feel safe when hes around.

You learn new things everyday. Its one of the laws of life. The first of which I learned was something I would never have thought....Veront has confidence issues! He went with me and Cazen to smoke a little and he would not shut up about his size. If there is one thing I've learned is that when someone keeps talking about their size of what ever they are talking about it usualy means they are lacking confidence and boy was that guy lacking some major confidence. I also met a new elven named Marrs down by the docks. Didn't make a good impression on me. He called a def man a fool simply because he likes to hang around the docks. Does that mean I'm a fool because I like to do the same thing? And on top of that he has the same ego mania that I have noticed runs rampid around here. What is it with the males around here and thinking they are the next best thing to the wheel? Thats what I like about Daelus the most. He doesn't have the ego that the others do. He just is what he is. I learned something very sad though I admit not unexpected today. Cazen and Brooke broke up. I never trusted her much. She did not seem as stead fast in their relationship as Cazen was. Apparently they broke up over some choice she forced him to make between her and Veront. Apparently they don't get along. Cazen seems to be doing okay with it but I will keep my eye on him just in case. Something he told me keeps sticking in my head and I think it will come back to haunt me later. He said around here it is important to choose your friends wisely and sometimes it can be hard to tell who is a friend and who is not. Indeed, it is becoming harder for me. I am not sure who to trust around here and who to become close with and who not to. I guess I'll just let the winds push me to where I need to go. Lets see where it takes me today.

**Eco1** · 08-07-2008, 01:34 PM

Had an interesting day today. Making good on his promise, Nocte took me out to a little tiny port town named Sestra. It was absolutly beautiful. We ate some fish and crab that I caught from a tiny dock in that region. The dock reminds me of places I would have stopped at when I use to roam up and down the sword coast. Its perfect really. No high traffic and would be a good resting spot. The port down by the Mariner is okay but I would not have gone near it when I use to roam the coast because of the high traffic there. Only if I was feeling desperate for contact or if I was feeling very curious would I have gone near that place in the past. How things change. Mother and father always did say I was a curious thing. Far too curious. I miss them. Sometimes I wish I could go back but I know now from my travels there is no turning back. Even if you want to there is no turning back. All things in life are one way roads. You can never go back and have things be the same. Anyways, I was very surprised....Nocte didn't annoy me to death today! He shared a bit of his past with me and surprisingly I had a good time. Apparently he was taken care of by some monks of the human diety Tyr when he was growing up. They must have been a very open minded group to do that. I would think folk of him would have killed something like Nocte right off the bat. I want to ask him more about it later. But back to Sestra. The place is beautiful. It over looks the ocean and I spent a good deal of time just watching the waves from the cliffs. I also found a good river fishing spot down there. I plan to spend more time there in the future. A good day.

**Eco1** · 08-08-2008, 07:16 PM

I don't know how to feel about today. I feel great joy but at the same time great saddness right now. I met for the first time since coming here a paladin by the name of Hano. Like so many stories I've heard of them though he couldn't restrain himself to come rushing to my aid when Cazen through me down when I put my hands over his eyes from behind thinking that I was some one trying to do him ill will. I talked with Hano a little about Nocte as I was curious as to whether monks of Tyr would actualy take care of a tiefling and not kill it right away as Nocte had told me some monks had done with him in his early years. Hano gave me encouraging news that there are some out there that follow Tyr that might take care of a tiefling like that since they tend to judge beings on their persona.

Later on today I went with Cazen to a barn and asked him about Ami which he had spoke about when he was drunk down at the Half Pint Pub down in the entertainment district. It was a long story but bassically Ami was an ex of Cazen in Neverwinter. Apparently he killed her when he heard she had betrayed him. Later he found out that some people had made it up and just wanted her killed. Cazen had her brought back to life but unfortuntly when she came back she lost the ability to cary a child and she has not forgiven him since then. As I listened to Cazen something came over me. I asked him to tell me of his past because I had strong feeling for him and wanted to see if he could first of all face his past by telling me this but also to see how truthful he would be with me. He did not try to hide anything and told me as far as I could tell all that had happened. I admired that and was glade he could trust me with that kind of thing. I know the day is coming when he will want to ask me about my past. I hope I am ready when he does so I can be as truthful as he was to me.

After talking with Cazen at the barn we went to help a group take care of some theives and such in a cartel in some caves. They were extremly well armed and knowledgeable in all manner of incantations. Claudius and Daleus were also with us. We slayed a great many of them but they were too much for us. I think I nearly died from grief when I saw Cazen's body lieing first on the floor. I tried to not let my grief show as I know that weakness is any sure sign of failure esspically when it comes to the combat arts so I carried on like the others. I should have carried on even better. Not but a little while later our party was ambushed by cartel members and Claudius was cut down and I too was nearly killed but lucky for me one of the three fighters that were with us came to my aid and helped me get up. Claudius was not so lucky. My heart is still grieving for my friend who speaks the elven tongue. I pray that the gods see it fit to send him back to us. When we got outside Cazen had come to. Apparently he was just knocked out and was not dead. I said to the others I did not think he was dead but to be honest I wasn't basing that on any knowledge of healing. I just said that because I was hoping that we would not be torn apart from one another so soon. When I saw him get up I couldn't contain myself any longer. I kissed him with all the passion that I could feel in me for him and gave him a heart felt hug. I told him to not do that again as I think I almost died of grief. Poor Nocte. I could hear him fall to the ground when I let my emotion go. I know hes disappointed right now after our outing together. He showed me hes not a half bad guy but I just can't see myself with him given his usual cocky attitude. Thats what I like about Cazen. Hes honest. He doesn't try to be a leader or be a hero or talk about the size of his junk or how many spells he knows or how hard he can cleave someone or anything like that. He just is what he is. I admire that. Anyways, I hope Nocte will be alright he isn't as bad as I once thought. I hope that Daleus isn't upset at my choice either. He seemed to leave in a rush when I showed my emotion to Cazen. All will be shown in time I guess. After that drama we took Claudius' body over to the temple of Helm to see what they could do with him. To my knowledge his body is there still for the time being. My thoughts are on him most of the while right now. Not a good day, not a bad day, just a busy day this day full of every emotion.

**Eco1** · 08-11-2008, 02:52 PM

A memorable and exciting day today. First off I was very happy and delighted to see Claudius back over at the Exigo Trading Camp alive and well once more. He appears to be doing well since our last outing that nearly took his life. A while after talking with Claudius some soldiers from Sundren came to the camp and asked the adventurers if they wanted to help find 5 missing members of a party. I decided to tag along and we were led by one healer from the sundren army named Max. Our destination was some crater of considerable darkness. Even with my elven eyes (who have seen quite a number of dark places in the sea and its surrounds) I could not penetrate the darkness. After a while of looking around the crater and in some cave we found the 5 members of the missing party. Apparently they were tricked by some shadow beings who we all had fought in the caves and had become lost. We managed to bring them to the surface. Max did a wonderful job tending the wounds of the wounded. Not one person was seriously injured or killed and all 5 members of the patrol were brought back. Also, I managed to buy some armor made of the dire bear from Tisvik. I'm sure it will serve me well in the future.

**Eco1** · 08-13-2008, 03:28 AM

It seems that my curse continues to haunt me. No sooner did I profess my love for Cazen did he no sooner tell me he could not be with me. I am heart broken. I couldn't even get through his whole explanation before I broke down and started to cry. A mix of emotions came to me as he said those words. I knew some how in the back of my mind he would say this. I can't really put my finger on it. Perhaps its because he was too distant. Perhaps it was the fact that in the back of my mind I know I am still cursed. So many emotions right now. I could not help but run out of the bath house in Sundren when he made some off timed joke before breaking the news to me. It reminded me too much of THAT day. The bearded human folk laughing at so tragic an event. I'm sure if I were to tell Cazen that however he would be angry that he was being compared to those types of humans but I can't help the way I feel. I gave him the lock picking tools I had been carrying around for him for days eagerly waiting to give him them. Its ironic that something I was looking forward so much to give him as become disheartening. I feel so very alone now. Claudius is being a dear friend right now but honestly its Veront's drugs that are helping me get through the days right now. So very alone I feel right now....loveless.....kinless.....almost god less.....souless....

**Eco1** · 08-13-2008, 04:14 AM

*As she sits on the cliffs over looking the waves in the sea below the little village known as Sestra Asleina takes a hit of some Barrcan that she bought off Veront. She sniffs the powder and becomes very relaxed. A million memories float through her mind as she remembers the life she once knew. She sits watching the shore and waves remembering voices, images, and sounds from long past one of which follows below...*

Occ: This entry will be written from the 3rd person telling a short story of Asleina's past. If you would rather hear Asleina's background in game then you probably will not want to read these until the 2nd page when I start writing back her thoughts about current events again.

"Come on Asleina! I want to see as much of the coast as we can before we have to be back!" said Synalia from a distance to her sister. They were use to being by themsleves but this day was a little different. Asleina had been told by her mother and father to watch over her little sister this day as both of them would be hunting in the waters and fishing for food for all of them. With both her parents occupied gathering food for them Asleina swam to her little sister eager to begin a fun day of exploring the coast and enjoying the company of her sibling. They swam down the sword coast seeing the usual sights. Human fishermen in boats fishing as well as on land, animals docked on the beaches, and boats of all sorts of sizes traveling near the coast lines to do trading. As she and Synalia passed by the various ports she well remembered the words of their mother and father who said to them "Beware traveling too close to the shores with the humans about. While some are respectable enough others of their kind are not to be trusted as they have little respect for anything except riches and power. Do not go near the ports of the humans." Synalia and Asleina had done well to do as their parents had asked they had played simple race games to various rocks and rock throwing contests to see who could skip a rock on the surface of the waters the furthest, and even a wrestling game to see who could wrestle the biggest fish under water and bring it to the surface. With dusk coming Asleina spoke to Synalia saying "We should return back to the cave now. Mother and father have no doubt caught dinner and will be expecting us back soon." Synalia smiled to her big sister saying "Lead the way big curious". Asleina laughed smiling to her little sister "I am never going to live that down with you all will I?" Synalia smiled to her saying "Not in this life time big sister." Although Synalia had been joking with Asleina a certain unease came over here hearing her sister joke. Her father was a very wise elven of the sea. He was very powerful in both mundane and divine healing. He loved his daughters very much but had always taken an interest in Asleina. She had shown an ability to learn things quickly. Her greatest asset was also somewhat of her curse too and the cause of Synalia's pune. Since she could speak Asleina had always been a curious creature. She was eager to learn everything she could and this led her to achieve many blessings in being able to channel energy from her family's patron diety Deep Sashelas. Her curious nature was always landing her in trouble though. Simple things such as whether jelly fish tales really stung or not, how long she could hold her breath under water, and how much electricity was in an eletric eal were just but a few of the things that made her curiousity a probable liabilty as well as an asset. Remembering this she remembered her mother and father telling her that she was far too curious and that one day it might come back to haunt her in a way she might be able to recover from. She shaked her head trying to parish the thoughts and concentrate on the journey back. Passing by a small port however she saw a light coming from a boat. She swam to a cliff side not being able to take her eyes off what was before them.

**Eco1** · 08-13-2008, 03:54 PM

Asleina looked on at the large human ship as it glowed so bright it illuminated the water around it. She had seen many ships like it before but this one was filled with so much treasure and gems it created light around it. As she looked on the ship she knew that there had to be some magical jewels and jewlery on deck. With so much treasure on board the ship was exploiting one of Asleina's weaknesses...jewlery. Like many of her kind she loved jewlery though not because of its looks or even its value even. Her kind loved to collect all sorts of neckalces, rings, bracelets, and gems not because they valued what monetary value they held to other creatures but simply because she was aware of the fact that they might be carrying enchantments that could help protect her. She knew that some where in that pile of riches had to be something that was magical or could be enchanted with magical energy. Synalia tugged on her arm trying to break her of her stare. "Come on...I know its tempting but mother and father told us to be back before dusk and not to go near the human ports. I am tempted to go after it too but we must be getting back" said Synalia. Asleina knew the words of her little sister rang true but she couldn't resist. The thought of such a great sight of magical energy so easily in reach was too much to resist. She finally was able to break her her concentration for a moment to respond to her sister. "Its right there Synalia. I can grab something for both of us and we can be back in time for dinner in no time. Maybe I will find something that can even help us get back quicker! The opportunity is there for us. We would be foolish to not at least try!" said Asleina.

She began to swim away from her sister lowering her head in the water. "They will see you with all the light! Don't Asleina!" her little sister called to her. "Don't worry! I've done this before! Just stay over by the cliff side in the dark! I'll be right back!" calling back to her little sister in response. She swam deep under the ship and then swam up to it much the way a great white shark might attacking some seal on the surface of the water. As she ascended up to the ship she could see a netting the sailors had thrown over the side to catch fish. She climed up the rope slowly creeping up the side of the ship. She could hear the voices of the sailors clearly now. She had dealt with their kind before and knew that while some were friendly others were much less then friendly. She knew them as the bearded human folk who spoke in weird slured tongues but others on the seas knew them better as pirates. She could hear their voices close speaking about the simple things. One near her said to the others "Shiver me timbers maties! Tis cold out tonight." She could hear others talking about all the loot they had found in some caves to the south and how they could not wait to sell them. As she heard them speak she thought to herself "So typical of their kind. Always thinking with two coins in their eyes never appriating the more beautiful things in life. Well, they seem to have a lot here on their deck. They won't even notice a few things gone I'm sure."

She saw a necklace on the pile of treasure near the side of the ship. A golden ring with a yellow jewel was near the edge of the ship. She took her time climbing to it and slowly made her way up. It was beautiful to her and reminded her of the sands of the beaches shinning brightly. She reached her hand out for it with it being so close she could almost feel it in her grasp already. Her eagerness increased even more when she could feel the magical energy radiating off from the ring when she heard one of the sailors so "Side ho maties! Thar be a sea in the water! Get yer arpoons and lets get some dinner tonight!" Aselina's heart almost stopped as she flung back against the side of the ship fearing she had been spotted. Her mind raced a mile a minute thinking to herself if she remembered there indeed being any seals in the port but she could remember none. She looked above herself to see one of the harpoons peaking off the side of the ship and then one of the pirates come into view. He wore a long beard and a large hat looking a little old with some grey in his beard and some grey in his hair. It was at this time of studying his facial features that it dawned on her that she had not been spotted as she realized he and the rest of his crew were not concentrated on her but rather something out in the water. She was affraid of what she might find but she turned her head looking toward where they were and faced what was to come.

**Eco1** · 08-17-2008, 07:28 PM

For the second time in as many minutes Asleina's heart felt like it was going to drop. There in the water swimming toward the ship was Synalia. She was swimming at the surface of the water with her back sticking out of the water. She had moved from her hiding spot to try and warn Asleina that the boat's crew was right above her and to not reach for the ring she was going after. In so doing, she had caught the attention of the hungry mariners who had mistaken her back for the back of a seal. Time slowed down in that instant and everything felt like a bad dream to her in that moment. She didn't even have time to say a warning to her sister before the harpoons were thrown off the side of the ship. The one thrown by the pirate directly above Asleina went right through her sister's back and she started to sink like a rock. Asleina let out of a cry and let go of the netting hitting the water hard. She swam as fast as she could toward her sister's body which was already lifeless of movement letting out a trail of blood going down into deep depths. Once she got to her sister she pulled out a knife and cut the rope that was tied to the harpoon so the pirates would not bring their "seal" up to their boat. She then grabed her with one arm swimming as hard as she could toward the surface.

She thanked the gods that she was in the water and not on land as it reduced the weight of her sister's empailed body. Once she got to the surface she laid her sister on a rock and looked her over. "Synalia, it will be alright! Hang in there I'll take you back to father and he will heal you. It will be alright..." She saw that the harpoon had gone through her sister's stomach and out of her back in a horizontal line. She thought for a moment to pull it out but she decided not to since pulling it out might cause her to bleed out. The whole time she could hear the one who she had seen earlier and who had thrown the spear saying "Did ye see me throw? It be a perfect throw maties. Dat seal sank straight to da bottom it did. Shame da line got caught on a rock and the seal escaped. Shame tha harlots don't disappear that fast when it be time to pay dem for their services eh maties?! Har har har!" In some ways Asleina was mad at the man but in other ways she was not. As she began to swim away with her sister's body she could not believe the man was so stupid to actualy mistake her sister for a seal. In the back of her mind though behind the anger she was feeling at that moment she knew it was an honest mistake. In the light that was coming off the ship in port, her sister's back did look completly grey like a seals in that light esspically to human eyes she figured. His laughter stung her badly though. How could one laugh in such a serious time as this?

She shook the thoughts from her mind swimming as hard as she could all the while saying words of comfort to Synalia like "Hold on Synalia we are almost there....almost home", "It will be alright Synalia, your wounds not as bad as you think. Hang in there you will make it.", and "Don't worry Synalia its going to be okay. Just wait and see...it will be okay." In the back of her mind she knew it wouldn't. She could already feel her sister's breathing slow down to almost nothing. With Synalia's life flowing out of her body Asleina swam the hardest and fastest she had ever in her life watching what little light had remained on the horizon in the sun set disappear plunging the shores in darkness.

**Eco1** · 08-17-2008, 08:37 PM

Asleina feared returning to her parents and she had good reason to. She knew their retribution and anger would be great. She knew that they would be angry with her because they had told her to take care of her little sister and many times warned both of them about going near human ports. She carried the now lifeless body of her sister in her arms with tears rolling down her cheeks. The weight of her sister's body and the still harpoon in her felt like shackles to her weighing her down already in punishment. She knew that her father, even with his great healing abilities, would not be able to really do anything for her sister now. Even though she had swam hard and fast she estimated her sister had probably slipped to the after life not long after she left the port. She walked in and saw her mother and father waiting with a bountiful catch from the earlier fishing they had done. Her mother let out a scream seeing her youngest in the arms of Asleina. She ran to Asleina grabbing Synalia from her hands setting her down on the cave's floor. "Thyimas do something!" Her father knelt down and asked the blessings of Deep Sashelas to give him strength. He then took the harpoon and in one mighty pull yanked it out of Synalia's stomach. Asleina already could see the blood come gushing out of her sister's wounds in waves. "Father, she might bleed to de...." he stopped her in mid sentence saying "Quite. You have done enough already....." Asleina felt her heart drop and she lowered her head in shame hearing her father. She knew he knew what he was doing though so she did as he asked as well as because she respected and loved her father.

Quinila, her mother, looked up at Asleina and said "Asleina....what happened? Are you alright?" Asleina responded quickly to her mother "I am alright mother. I'm sorry, we went near a human port because I saw something interesting on one of the boats that I was curious about and one of the humans thought that Synalia was a seal in the water. He harpooned her on accident." "What did I tell you two about going near those ports?! Theres a reason why we elven do not go near the humans unless absolutly nessary! In Deep Sashela's name Asleina I told you to look after your sister! Why do you always have to be so damn...." Thyimas interupted both of them saying "shhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I can not concentrate with both of you talking." Quinila stopped talking but she looked at Asleina with burning eyes. Asleina just held her head in shame lowered. Thyimas once again asked for the blessings of Deep Sashelas and Asleina watched with wonder as the wounds that seemed so critical in her sister close up as if they had never happened. Thyimas spoke some other incantations which Asleina did not understand with her limited knowledge of divine healing. Thyimas checked for a pulse on Synalia but you could find more pulse in a shell fish by now. Her sister had been simply in the after life too long now for Thyimas to do anything for her. He closed his eyes saying out loud "Mend with me my dear Quinila our youngest has swam away from the school to join our beloved lord in the after life and I'm affriad she will not be coming back in this life time."

Asleina buried her face in her hands letting tears which had fallen like rain now fall like a wave on the shores of the beaches. Her mother did the same and her father tried to keep his composure as much as he could but he cried as well for his youngest daughter. The whole event would have been enough to leave Asleina with a guilt and shame that would last the rest of her life time but what happened next made it feel like it would last much more then a life time.

Thyimas spoke after regaining his composure "Asleina...what is the basic tenant of our beloved dolphin prince? What we elven of the sea live by?" Asleina had managed to gain her composure enough to just barley squeak out an answer to her father who had mentored her and taught her everything she knew about the prince of the undersea "To live like the dolphin father. To love and take care of all the creations of the sea. To love creation and the spawn of creation as Deep Sashelas does. With all the love and volume as there is water in the seas." He noded hearing hearing his daughter's words. "And have you done this?" he said asked his oldest daughter. She knew better then to try and hide or argue with her father. She simply answered "No father, with all the regret in my heart I must say that I have not." He slowly nodded giving Quinila a hug. He slowly spoke and said "Then you understand why you may never show your face to your mother and I again. Asleina, my daughter, what shame you have brought your family, your kin, your lord, and most importantly yourself in not taking care of your younger sister. What disgrace you have brought upon yourself in disobeying your mother and my command." Asleina spoke with all the quickness and intensity and feeling of that of a fish who has been caught and lifted out of the water wiggling on the line trying franticaly trying to get back to its life it knew in the water. "Father please! I beg you! Please don't do this! I messed up but please as your daughter...your only daughter now....do not do th..." as Asleina spoke she was interupted by her mother. "Daughter?! Daughter?! I am ashamed to call you such! No daughter of mine would disgrace herself so badly for the sake of curiosity! I always said to you Asleina Swafin that your curiosity would bring you great harm and now it has! Leave me and your father now in our mourning and leave us to peace. Leave and never return!"

Asleina's eyes filled up line two water filled fish bowls to her father now who she knew was her only chance for forgiveness. Thyimas had always loved his Asleina. He had shown her everything she knew and loved her as any father would love his daughter but the fact they had a common interest in healing and serving Deep Sashelas had made them even that more close. It was because of his devotion to Deep Sashelas first however that caused him to respond to his beloved daughter the way he had and was going to do. In a strange way Asleina understood and excepted to some degree the punishment she was recieving but it of course did not take the sting away from it. "Beloved father...please don't do this...." Thyimas closed his eyes and Asleina saw a few tears come out of them and roll down his cheek as he said for the last time to her in a weak voice filled with hurt and reluctance to his beautiful Asleina "Do as your mother says Asleina. You have made your choice now live with your decision. Leave and take that harpoon by your sister in memory of Synalia. Go." She grabbed the harpoon off the floor and looked at her mother and father one last time turning her eyes to her sister. "Farewell my beloved sister. I don't know if I'll ever see you again in this life or the next but for all its worth I say to you and all that I love I am sorry. I am truley sorry." With that Asleina jumped in the water in the cave and swam back out never to return to the place again.

As she sat on the cliffs over looking the shores of Sestra Asleina could almost feel the water of the cave back then. She remembered how cold the ocean water felt to her when she jumped back in and how it had felt ever since. She burried her face in her hands on the cliffs trying desperatley to remember more happy days then this one but for all the life in her she could not.

Occ: This ends the first story of the past of Asleina Swafin. All entries past this one (unless noted again) will be related to her thoughts about the going ons currently in the Sundren area.

*Looking over the various going ons in the port Asleina thinks the following thoughts to herself*

What a crazy time it has been for me lately. I am surprised to say that for once I am kind of glade that I was able to sleep in a bed for once much thanks to Lauan for that. I was taken by her and Nocte from the glade to her room after my whole ordeal over the last day or so....

first the crazy happenings started when Cazen told me in a room at the Menacing Mariner that he could not be in a relationship with me. When I asked him why he said that he couldn't because of his invovlement with (I am leaving this out to prevent spoilers). He would have to get involved with other women because of this so he decided he didn't want to put me through that. That would have been alright but when I pressed him further he told me that he did not love me at the same level I loved him. My heart has been broken since. Screw it. I'm done with him. It seems I am continuing to make poor decisions....speaking of which....

that is kind of how I ended up nearly bled out to death and taken into the care of Nocte and Lauan. It all started when I heard Zack and saw him come to the camp ranting about how he killed a drow. I had heard rumors around the camp of drow in the area recently so I decided to look into it along with another elven. A hooded one named Ashe told me and the other elven that he indeed had seen Zack earlier in the woods very wounded earlier confirming that he had been there before coming to the camp. We searched the area and found evidence of some stuggle by a river. The ground was burned by not by fire but by negative energy or so my elven friend said. We saw drag marks of a body heading to the river where we suspect Zack took the body to. A day later...

I noticed Zack acting strangely around the camp. I was watching him carefully but I wanted to see if there was anything else he knew about the recent drow sightings. I notice him pay close attention to some pale man that was at camp. When the pale man left so did Zack and I decided to follow Zack. I joked with Nocte who complained that things were boring that I was going to make it interesting. How cruel fate is sometimes. I followed Zack to the camp and watched him for a while. The pale man was talking with someone and not long after Ashe came to the camp too. I remember I had lost sight of Zack when I decided to sit down on a bench....

as I sat there something came from out of no where and grabbed me and bit me on the neck. I remember screaming out in pain but what ever it was had covered my mouth to prevent me from screaming. I remember feeling very low on energy at that point and I passed out. I came to a day later with Nocte watching over me. He and some druid lady who I had sold some armor to earlier that day told me that there were some fang marks on my neck. They think it was a vampire but I really have no idea if thats what it was. I keep trying to remember what was before me but all that keeps coming to my mind keeps changing. I have seen everything from wolves, to lizard men, to Zack, to even a giant flying whale coming down to bite my neck! I really don't remember what it was. I really do hope that it was one of the latter things however then the former...

*In a dazed and confused state looking up at the ceiling inside the Temple of Chautea in Sestra Asleina ponders the current thoughts to herself...*

Life is funny. It truley is. I was out today with Nocte in some new village I had never been to before. I wanted him to show me where he had got his mask and hood from. Once I was there I had him buy me one as I had intentions to use it in a plan to betray Cazen. I was sick of all his plans. I was sick of his sturborn attitude about not embracing our friendship which was turning to something more. I was fully intent on betraying him for not embracing this but as I was looking to do so he called me to come with him down to the docks. I went and it was a long time we were there talking but he bassically said to me he was not going to go through with his plan he had told me before. He said that he really loved me and that it was a lie he did not. I don't believe it anymore. I don't believe him. I don't trust his word. It was too late anyways. He had already screwed everything up by making the decision that he did. There is no turning back now. If he tries to improve our relationship it still will not be as it once was and if he decides to go with his plan I will make sure that what I bought today from the merchant with Nocte comes to fruition. As I sit here healing the wounds he and Lauan gave me I feel both pain in body, mind, and soul. The poor girl Lauan. She really doesn't realize she has just traded one hell with Osclow with another with Cazen has she? Well, should she try to embrace Cazen then I will be sure to warn her. Its in my interest. In truth though, I feel sorry for her. She acts tuff and indeed is but I know shes hurting inside. Almost as bad as me. I just have the wounds on the outside to show it.
