Description
A thin man stands here, his flesh pale and jaundiced. His entire body is
obscured by a shifting black cloak that wraps around him. Claw like
disfigured hands peek out from the cloak from time to time revealing odd
looking sores covering his hands. Labored breathing accompanies his every
movement, with an occasional grunt.

I have decided to keep some sort of record of recent events and strange
happenings in hopes that the practice will aid me in discovery as to what is
happening to or around me. These "episodes" , as my mother describes them,
they began happening a few weeks before my sixteenth birthday which took
place one month ago. I find it difficult to even describe what I have
experienced but I will do my best, no matter how abstract it may be.
still am unsure if I have been dreaming, or worse yet beginning to lose my
mind. Not that it is spoken of much but my great grandfather, some demented
frightening man, had gone insane in search of some artifact many years ago.
What if my fate has been woven before my birth? Destined to slip deeper into
these moments of horror.
The morning everything began I was hunting small prey for practice. I have
been groomed since a child to be a hunter of our clan, I am nothing short of
an embarrassment in this regard. Sprinting after a rabbit I had managed to
injure with a rock I found myself in heavily wooded enclave with a canopy so
dense it blotted out the harsh midday sun. My eyes quickly adjusted, and then
I "felt" a darkness sweep across me, engulfing me. The cries of others filled
my ears, visions of cold eyes glaring out from a shadowed blur.I tried to
scream but I could not say if I made a sound or not. Next thing I recall I
was under the canopy, the dew of the early morning had begun to set on the
surrounding leaves.
I have yet to speak of this day to anyone. The legacy of my grandfather
lingers over my families head already, no reason to give it fuel.

I killed a young buck today with a snare and a spear. Standing over the
animal I stared into the gaping hole my spear had made and the entrails that
methodically struggled their way free from the now lifeless vessel. There was
something there, what I cannot say.

I have not slept in days. Dreams of shadowed rituals and sinister whispers
just soft enough that I cannot understand wait for me as my eyes shut. It is
not the dreams themselves that now keep me awake. I fear I may never wake
from the reality I enter. The fight to return to consciousness is difficult
and feels perilous. My friends and family say I am acting differently and
have grown distant, I suppose they are right but what can I do? I am
struggling to remind myself of who I am, what I enjoy doing. With each day it
becomes harder to remember.

I hear the whispers now as I walk amongst others in the daylight, strange to
say but at times they are deafening. I am being told something, what I am
being told I still do not understand. I feel as though I must submit to the
darkness and then I would understand. The idea frightens me, but if this
continues I fear I will go insane.

The clan found out about the strange happenings inside my mind, I fled the
compound before they reached the inevitable conclusion that I was possessed
and must be killed as a result. I wander the deserts by night, I hear the
voices on the cool night air. I follow them.

It has been many months now that I have followed the beckoning darkness and
it is good. The voice speaks clearly to me now, it speaks of power of
knowledge. I am told the study of necromancy will be the next step in what I
will eventually be. I make my way to the city of Seantryn Modan to begin.

The Chancellor of the Chasm spoke with me some time ago, the distain he feels
for humans is palpable in his voice, and instructed me to detail my personal
work that will be of use to the coven he oversees. I have hesitated each time
I have placed pen to parchment, several ideas have come to mind. Most ideas
are of a purely selfish nature and drive, with each dismissed idea I believe
I grow closer to my focused study that will be of value to the Scions.

I have met a few. . .allies I guess I would call them. Those who seek a
somewhat similar goal as my own, Motian and Hanna. My ignorance is glaring
while in either of their presence, yet they seem to tolerate me so far. They
have aided me greatly in my search of graveyards, which has proved nearly
entirely unfruitful to date. I discovered a mummy hidden within the sands of
sorrow, I will begin working on discovering the mysteries to traversing this
dangerous land.
I had a strange encounter recently with an obviously powerful being, he asked
me if I held promise. I of course believe I do, he did not agree. Having just
seen Algo the villager assassin who has proven a stealthy foe I decided
whatever secrets this being held, having my neck broken in front of him would
not bring me any closer to discovering them.

Many things have developed, just as I had hoped in most respects. It seems
following my instincts and trusting what I have been exposed to has paid off
so far. The mysterious female who clearly commands much power appeared before
me again. It seems I have begun to show some degree of promise to her, I
still am unsure what exactly this means. . .to her or for myself.
My relationship with the Chancellor is a tenuous one, as it seems he shares
with all within the coven. He demands much, I work feverishly to continue to
prove I belong in the chasm, so far he is willing to let me continue my
studies.
The few friendships I once had mostly remain intact. Motian has not been seen
in many weeks now, I suspect he has succumbed to despair and I may never see
him again. There is not enough room for the both of us within the chasm in
any event, I believe I learned all I could from him as such his fate is of
little concern. Hanna, ah Hanna. Her mind is sharp, her soul. . .darker than
the moonless night. She has grown from my friend to my most trusted
confidant. I have gleaned much from this Avian, even once I have drained her
mind of all its secrets I would not wish her gone.
The moment of life is littered with power nearly overwhelming in many
respects, within the cacophony of this energy lays a very unique and pure
form of negative force. I have managed to focus and extract what I seek, a
feeling more intoxicating than anything I have experienced to this day. My
studies within the chasm involving this particular negative energy keep
bringing me back to Hanna. I currently work with whores and the garbage their
wombs produce. I require a vessel that is worthy of creating a child that may
break the boundary I now face. I feel like a man sparking a flint against a
small parcel of tinder, only I am still unable to create a significant enough
spark to ignite it.
She is betrothed to another, his essence could only pollute her, and I myself
detest the idea of physical intimacy let alone sexual intercourse. Obstacles
that I will find a way around should I decide to pursue this. I will first
continue to experiment before I place Hanna in more danger than needed.

The Ravenous one came and spoke with me. We briefly discussed my plans and
what I had thought was the Chancellors 'Chosen' one. I spoke plainly about my
feelings concerning this drow, I believed his will to have been broken by the
pressures we face. I have now met him, spoke with him of the coming days and
walked with him in an attempt to recover the last item he seeks for the
Becoming. It is clear to me now, my previous thoughts regarding him were
incorrect. He is not the Chancellors chosen one, instead he is the Ravenous
ones chosen. This news was like an infection reaching my very heart. The
depth of his knowledge is impressive and should he succeed in this ritual his
existence is something I must and will accept.
This does not deter me from my own desires or wish to undergo the Becoming.
In the end this is not a power grab for personal gain, but as I have always
said a step closer to the Prophecy. Should we both manage to make this happen
it would be a significant shift in the powers of these lands. He has stated
he would not stand in my way if I am granted an audience with the cleric of
the dead vale, this is very good seeing he is far closer than myself to
realizing this desire. Were the drow to fail however I would not shed a tear
in his passing.
Hanna has been released from the harassment of the Immortal lord known as the
Lucky Lord. Before my very eyes I watched the woman I feel for turned into a
male. Something that took several days to shake off when I laid eyes on her,
she managed to correct this attack rather quickly. She has shed the name of
Blackstone like lizard shedding the flaking dead skin that no longer serves
its purpose. This pleases me greatly. One day she may be known as Hanna
Urn'tas. I have more important pressing matters to attend to at the moment.
