6 Ches, Year of the Cauldron

Seemingly every muscle in my body aches stiffly. I cannot remember having hiked and hauled so much in so short a time as the past few tendays here on the Isles. I never thought I'd haul a dead body anywhere in a cart. I've hauled two. I've slung stones at orcs and ran from their charge when the bullets flew beyond their mark. I've trekked and sailed to and fro and even tested my endurances in an exercise run with Scisha. My exertions serve as distractions. Wyssin leaf is scarce in my pack and my visit to Skaug only frustrated me with its temporary tastes.

I miss Goewyn. The darkness of her hair and eyes. Her breath in my ear and voice in my head. Her song in harmony with mine. I've left the Sword Coast but of course I could not leave me. My heart. Incomplete. My mind. A Gondish wheel, spinning noisily. I'm chasing after solace and that contentment I once had with her. I've lost touch somehow of our secret song and worry I'll be left to suffer my own memory of what once was and will not be again. Her death remains unacceptable. Vengeance that can't be grasped sits within me like an acid. I burn quietly and try to smoke and drink away the pain. How novel.

My music helps some. It's good when I've time to work it but there's nothing fresh, nothing new. Same old songs I did not write, sung with little conviction. I hope to find some manner of employment here in Caer Callidyr. I do not know what, if anything, Lady Derstaad will busy me with.

More of this, imo!

However, you might consider posting this sort of 'journal' type stuff in the library where those who don't peruse the Moonshaes IC forum will likely stumble upon it.

I'd say that the IC forum is more for stuff that would be general knowledge among the playerbase in Moonshaes. Unless your aim is for all the Moonshaes PCs to ICly know your inner feelings and thoughts, take it to the library.

But DO continue with this!

What Jayde said.

I have really enjoyed what I've seen of Kard so far!
