Session 3 - Day 5 - Sunny, Larkfen Hollow

by Elysiaera Calistrae

I found Lyssa and Serel fighting, covered in mud and shame. Lyssa made jokes at his expense and while he is usually unphased by her jibes, something she said wounded him deeply. I would’ve thought these two would grow up, but they seem too interested in spatting with each other. Lyssa is still a spoiled brat and Serel is so rigid and focused. One has too much sport and the other not enough.
 
When I arrived at Fenlight Chapel. Elder Maelin pulled me aside and locked the doors. Obviously, I found this quite alarming. His eyes were sharper, harsher than I remember. He warned me that my magic is waking, and that it might draw attention. Not all of it kind. I asked what kind of attention, but he only said, “The sort that finds you before you find it.” He’s going to teach me a healing spell, something to protect me when I am hurt. I just have to come to train with him in the chapel for a few days.
 
I also asked him about the script I saw in the Tomb of Thaleen Vire. He pulled down a book of ancient languages from on of the dusty bookshelves. This may help me decipher the writing I saw on the walls.
 
Later in the evening, I stopped by The Wren & Willow. Branna Wren poured me cider and listened to my stories. I got the feeling that I’m not as good at telling stories as she is, but she asked if I was ready to leave again. I said I wasn’t sure. She just nodded and said, “You’ll know when it’s time. You always do.”
