It might have been a little less
of a surprise if Noira had told me that she had inserted
marble into this age at the last second. I was not prepared to see
these massive temple structures beneath us when we
arrived.
Cissar truly stands as a physical
definition of us. Being the first age we have collaborated
together completely on, it shows all of our imagination and love.
The people of Cissar were more
than easy to get along with. Ushered into one of the
great stone temples, we feasted, and communicated.
My main goal to accomplish on
this age first, is an easier way to get from the top of
the cliff, to the small city. The climb down was treacherous, and
I would not want to do it again. I would write
a smaller hill, but it appears that in doing so, we will drastically
alter the link away from the people we have met.
Journal Entry 1254
I found my journal, that last
entry was important, now it will probably be lost among
all my others I will have note here that the journal entry previous to
this is in my 7th journal.
Besides that, this journal is
even more important. I made the link back to D'ni. The
smells, the walls, the air, the memories... I can still hear the
screams echo. My eyes began to water with the
first glance out the window, at K'veer, and Noira's constant soothing
took almost an hour to stop my sobbing.
Father, mother, my sister, everybody was gone.
I didn't need to see the empty house as proof of that.
We hadn't spotted any bodies... for what reason I cannot fathom.
Noira believes they got out, but I know the truth.
And I also believe K`aastor knows more of that happened
to D'ni than he's telling me.
Within the house library, I
found that Amerak still lie there after all these years. I
never thought I would hold the book again. The pride
of my family, a beautiful age kept and passed down
after generation after generation. An artifact. My legacy.
Journal Entry 1255
I have given several blank books
to K`aastor, a gift for being the sign for my return
to D'ni. An interesting man, he has kept to himself for several years
since the disaster. On a search for blank books,
he came across my library. And deciphered my father's
poor excuse for a code to the library. Noira has taken a seven day
leave to her Alev. During her excursion I will
give K`aastor a tour of Gaelin, and our other two ages.
Journal Entry 1261
I returned to Cissar today, discovering
that the impossible has happened. The entire
age has been flooded. I checked the page, and it is obvious that
someone has tampered with it. K`aastor would
be my first guess. And Noira does not come back until tomorrow.
Another D'ni might have found the book, although why not take the book
instead of desecrate it?
I do not believe I can undo
the damage, for this link will just spiral further and further
into despair.
Journal 1262
Some form of evil has befallen
my home. Amerak has been rivened, it's beautiful rolling
plains have become deserts, trees are now ugly wooden stags, of life there
is no sign, the clear water turned to a thick muck.
And tremors are abundant. Whatever, or whomever
is doing this, will surely pay.
Journal 1264
Noira's family came to me this
morning. They are extremely worried at her dissapearance over the
past few days, as am I. Her brother gave an occasional peircing stare.
As if I too am not hurt. I've been without her for a week.
K'aastor's dissapearance, along with Noira's age of Alev, had left me in
despair. I scoured our ages. Searched hopelessly through D'ni.
And wailed her name in the middle of the streets.
I exhausted myself. And
returned home to Gaelin. My heart leaped when I found the note from
Noira. Only to be thrown once again into misery.
The things she wrote of send pangs of fear through my mind. Noira
claims that K'aastor is a mad man.
I had somewhat come to that conclusion
myself.
Only his madness includes her devotion
and my death. It's hard to imagine that I welcomed this man almost
as a savior when we met. Now it seems that K'aastor is completely
caught up in within his own world. A world where I do not exist.
Noira wants me to meet her in Amerak
by mid-day Gaelin time. In Amerak. Where K'aastor hopes I will
meet my doom. Where Noira hopes to save us. And where I hope
this would all be a bad dream.
