Journal Entry 574 I know something terrible has happened.
A great wash of
gloom has penetrated deep within me. It is because
of this
formidable feeling that I have not written a journal
in some time. I
cannot tell if it has been one day or ten days since
I linked to
Gaelin. Since then I have only slept in this bed, trying
to shake off the
despair that has overtaken my mind. At first
I feared the
worst. I now know that the worst is unimaginable.
Father was taking me to my next lessons within our library when it appeared. From our view of K'veer, a
monstrous cloud began to lick it's way from the rock walls and oust itself towards the city. We could hear other people
shouting within D'ni as men and women within the cloud fell to the ground. Father looked me into the eyes said I must
link to Gaelin. He was going to get mother, and meet me back in the age. To this day I wait for him. Although
I realize what this great
feeling of dread is. I have lost my family, friends,
and even those I
Journal Entry 575 Today I have decided to get out of
this futile depression that
has tried to take control of me. I will live on.
And forever carry
out the memory of those I loved.
I stepped outside to breathe
in the air and take in the beauty of
this age for the first time since my arrival. Father
has never taken
me here, I believe it to be one of his works in progress.
Even the
cave which I linked to was not up to D'ni standard.
Journal Entry 576 These obstinate fish refuse to be eaten! I have attempted to catch the fish with no success. With my horrible fishing skills, and my fresh water running low, I am afraid that I will soon be pushed back into D'ni to confront my fears. Journal Entry 577 I'm not sure if they want to
help me or cook me.
Journal Entry 578 They want to help me. The natives
know that I was in need of help.
My emotional sickness must have been very obvious in
my tattered
state.
Journal Entry 579 I made a trip back to the main island
by myself today to
retrieve the linking book back to D'ni, for study.
On the way to the
bridge controls I found a native in my room!
Journal Entry 1253 I cannot find any of my newer
journals, so I'll have to settle
for this using this old one. A man by the name
of K'aastor has
linked here to Gaelin! He claims to have opened
up my father's
old library back in D'ni and used the linking book from
there.
There is so much to exchange with the man, and he seems
to be
extremely interested in the Ages we have created.
Noira is just as
excited as I am to meet a D'ni. It has been so
long! And K'aastor
says that the city cavern is safe... such memories
from the years
back... Noira is trying to convince me to face
the ghosts that I have
run from for so long.
