Journal of a Philosopher XVI: Elindor's Travels
Jerry_Man
My mind has been so troubled, which I presume is why I have returned to this journal. Normally at this point I would observe how much of Aegis has changed, but little change has my eyes beheld, yet great change in myself.:: ::There is no real place to begin in recording the places I have been, the things that I have seen, what events have transpired in the years gone by. So my writings may be collected with similar chaos to that with which my mind can process. First and foremost, which may explain the degredation of my intellectual processing, is that I've become alarmingly aware that Aegis is soon to crumble. I find myself drifting between a rambling doomsayer and a melancholic hermit. Yet still I hold on to the actions that stand as evidence for my sanity. I've joined the mages guild, I'm developing a college for advanced education called Aegis Institute of Technology, and I constantly find myself embarking on historical explorations, many of which occur in 'The Verge'. Albeit these titles appear as nothing more than busywork to preoccupy my mind from its wanderings, they may be what defines me in my last moments before the foundations of this world collapse to the end. How pitiful.:: :: The war with the undead was becoming seemingly irrelevant. As the powers and numbers of the ascended would drop, so too would the frequency and severity of the undead's attacks. And again, the balance has been restored, but this in this circumstance it will be in preperation for our coming destruction. I cannot explain my meeting with a six thousand year old being, and the appearance of Iblees in the flesh, and the bestowing of immense power during the baptism of an undead, in enough detail to validate how I know that the end is coming. But the Ascended Sages have returned to Aegis, and thus we simply bide our time till the final battle that rips the world apart. I am in too deep to warrant picking sides now. I can do no more than wait and pray that God is in all of this, and in His divine wisdom will bestow on us what is best. Please be in this God. :: ::Also, I have not seen 'her' in such a long time. Once I would have been troubled out of my wit and been praying like mad that nothing terrible would have happenned to her; but she is the something terrible that happens to others. Yet still, I pray that her soul is not lost. Perhaps she is the only guidance I have left to my life. :: ::Where are you Maeghan? *tears soak the page*
