Lace's Tales
~ The Emperor's Campaign
Entry 7
I think things will change drastically from now on.
I have begun to understand Martyrian, and even care about him.
It seems strange, but I want to save him, more than almost
anything. He has good in him, it's not his fault he was made to
be like he is. He has shown me nothing but kindness, even
more so than R'Zan. We had a 'family gathering', and R'Zan
was freed of the Silk Blade. He has rejoined Kelson, and I
chose to stay with Martyrian. Perhaps this is the precious
balance my father is always talking about?
Jerith has left, and I don't know where he went, or when he'll
return. I suppose it's for the best, I was finding myself drawn
to him, and it's best that I not loose myself right now. I have
much to accomplish. I do miss him though, and hope he is well.
Martyrian wants me to go on a quest for him, and I have agreed.
I will take a group that he has put with me, and retrieve the
relics, then go to the Abyss for the rest. The group that was
formed is...interesting. Myself, Kiziatta (Silk's daughter), a
Drow named Zindarixia Lakoyanin, a Priest of Cyric named
Bringham Pierce, and a Dread order knight named Gyrinlin.
It will not be an easy group to deal with, but I will, somehow.
I have gained the help of Kromel in this quest, and am glad.
He has been through a lot I think, giving up his clan and family,
and it seems that I shall as well. Word spread quickly that I
have joined Martyrian, and people now think me a traitor. I
lay awake at night wondering what my mother and the others
must think of me, and if my name is yet a curse in Feng's Keep.
I only do what my heart tells me to do, is that so wrong?
