Re: Layl Maaw, Sun's Journal - a Bard's journey I recently ran into Silvia, an experienced fighter and skald. She spoke of how becoming a skald changed her life, loosing friends and family and making her anger even stronger and more powerful in battle. I felt a connection, I related to her words, since my anger has also been a challenge lately to control. Silvia took me to the fields and showed me how she deals with the enemies and makes them fear. It was so intriguing to see how she would make them fear so much that they couldn't even move.
As I continued doing some crafting and running out for materials to work with, I ran across Jil. I've heard about her arcane archer abilities and she explained how she used her abilities in battle. Her words openes my eyes to a world I had seen before but long forgotten. I am intrigued by these abilities... perhaps some day I can learn from her and make my bow even a stronger weapon in battle, along with my voice.
Days later, I learned a new spell to make enemies fear. I tried using it and screamed to a few goblins as loud as I could, but I ended up scared at the sound of my own voice. I experienced what they experience, a fear beyond words, almost blindness, that impairs every movement. My wolf helped me be safe from the goblins that were attacking us and I ended up unharmed. I need to channel my anger better to make this weapon even stronger.
I ran into Silvia and asked her about this ability. She explained to me that I need to learn to channel my pain, anger and negative feelings into a fearful scream that will make it stronger and powerful for the enemies. She took me to the fields and showed me how she was trained herself into becoming a skald. She made me scream as loud as I could, she taught me how to make the anger even stronger. Her methods can be a bit questionable to anyone who might not understand, since she just kept making me angrier every time by making me see how powerless I seemed infront of the enemies that defeated my husband. She took me right there, to the gnoll mines so that I could feel the enemies even closer, face to face. I cried, I got angrier as my body struggled with my mind. I needed rest, I couldn't rest, all that mattered was to run into the enemies and channel that anger towards them and shout. I used my sword and slashed them open in anger, as I screamed and made feel what is like to feel pain... I kicked their dead bodies, ran into a frenzy as I felt my anger grow and the need to release it as I screamed at them.. and made them pay for their evil doings.
As I venture this new world, I realize that I'm becoming stronger. I can feel my song getting stronger, which will help friends in battle, while my shouts are also getting stronger and will make enemies fear and run away. I wish to continue this path and become even stronger to help others in battle and make enemies weaker as they come attack. If they wish to feel pain by attacking me, they will have it...
