841 Risen Journal, 1 TehLulu I have not felt this way as far back as I can remember. My head is cleared of my maladies, as is my body, and I feel...alive. There are many things which lead to this, and many unfortnate occurances. But I will not bore the world with my past. It does not matter any longer. It is only the future, to which I look forward to, and the skies of Aegis which I look to for guidance. :: I will not, no, cannot explain how it came to be. But Hwaldar has played a large part in my recovery from the pits of darkness. I remember not of my previous memories, which were revealed to me to be fakes. Only my recent time in Aegis lives on in my mind. I have been vindicated, in a way, by what Hwaldar revealed to me. It was never intentional to make me the way I was, a half-full shell of a woman. It was merely necessary, to defeat evil and to spare my life. But that is not a story which needs to be revealed. The past is gone, done, and far away. :: Now, I search for my next calling. I was correct in my remembrance of my former powers, that of magic. I wish to regain those powers now, to help fight the undead and the other evils which plague Aegis. I am setting out now, on a new journey. I wish to gain more knowledge, as much as I am able. I also hope my leaving Malinor will draw some of the evil that haunts it to come after me. But it matters not. I feel strong enough to take on anyone who attacks me. And I will continue to protect those innocents around me, as well. I will cease to chase after my past and instead chase after my future. So I have written it, and so I swear to do. I will not allow evil to corrupt me as it once almost did.
