There have been a few bright moments over these last days. I had an all-too-rare chance to speak with Lucy for a while. She was hopeful of being able to go and visit the trainer, and we decided that I would walk there with her, but she was called away from her training to attend to some other matter. Hopefully she will be ready soon at a time I'm awake. I'd intended to go along just so that she did not have to take the walk alone, but now I'm thinking that perhaps I'll speak with the trainer myself while we are there. I've been ready for some time, but thought I'd wait for a while, but now I see no reason to delay any longer.

One of the reasons I need to hone my skills is the rat problem at the Dundee Inn. The creatures break out into the town from time to time, and it's hard going to fight them. After one such outbreak the other day, Azure, Lowrenzo and myself, along with others, were standing in Dundee Square talking about the problem. We were amazed to see Tyral and Scooter emerge from the Dundee Inn and head south. It seems Tyral too is fed up with the infestation and has decided to take up residence at the Building of Glass.

A day or so previous to speaking with Lucy, Matt had woken for a short time. I can't remember the last time we had a chance to speak, and we were able to catch up on some of each other's news.

Earlier today Gypsy and I showed Kane around his new home at the guildhall, chatting as we did so with Nael and Bellaine. It was a pleasure to see so many of the guildkin at one time. I've seen others too over the last few days and that has, I must say, lifted my spirits.

Where are you?
I care, but I know not.
Lost in your darkness.

Where am I?
I know, but I care not.
Trapped in a world of darkness.

Where are we?
... darkness


Never doubt ...

Never forget ...

Never give up ...

Never give in ...
