I have never been much for keeping a record, but alas I never figured on so much happening lest I forget.

I am still unable to resolve why I was brought to these lands. I have met others with a similar experiance of meeting a dragon and being brought here.

Since being invited to these new lands I have struggled, I care not to admit it even to myself but I have found it very difficult to travel alone. While I prefer such it is becomming increasingly dangerous to do such. I had become too reliant on an older sibling and I now see the trouble in such. I may have to rely on others in my travels for now as long as it does not involve returning to anything resembling the forced labor exerted on my as a child.

I have found one companion that has stayed as my familiar, I have named him Pane, while others are uneasy at the sight of a young dragon I trust him at my side. I feel there is more then trust between us, perhaps I will learn more of him as time goes on.

I have met one person of interest, a fellow by the name of Michalious. He has taken an interest in Pane and I have had no trouble with him. See seems willing to adventure more then most. And also speaks of one named Pyrtechon, this is most interesting. I may learn more from this fellow.

I have more adventures in these lands to write of.

There is one that I have been cautions to mention, some time ago while traveling with a small group to hunt some dire boar. We came across a lady dressed in strange robes, and near death. She was very sick coughing up all manner of black fluid. One member of the group whom we call pig, was able to carry her to a priest. The priest did little more then curse at as and ask us to remove this woman from the temple. Eventually the strange lady became better once we brought her to the witches house in the Seilwood and then she ran off.
Later I had talked to those that call themselfs good. And found out the symbol of the skull on this madien was the symbol of corath. And she is all manner of evil. They dare not even speak the name.

I am puzzled yet interested in this. Why would some so good say they would kill someone for a symbol they carry ? They tell me not to mention this to others, why not. Ignorance seems to be strong on many in this land. I helped this lady, but next time how am I to know. Perhaps the next person is to be left behind. After a scolding by a paladin or a knight of some kind for helping this woman, next time I may just pass by unless I feel the need to help. Why should I help someone then have others say that doing what I concidered to be right at the time was very wrong. Next time may be different.


On another note, I was accused today of summoning demons into town. Simply because I had my invisiblity wear off near a group of adventures I have never met. They were ready to lock me up ? I question the intentions of these people, simply because they do not have the use of magics they are threatened by me. I know not the use of the sword but I am not insulting them nor fearing their actions in town. After the threats to lock me up I had a laugh at them and rendred myself invisible again. How can I trust such people in towns if they fear me when I have done nothing. I know I would not have been much of a fight for them, but I did not want to find out.
I followed them for a while they seemed good, but weary of magic users for some reason. I was not about to ask.

I may have to change my dress every now and then. I do not want them to recognise me and attempt to lock me up. They do not know I am not very strong, but that may be my only saving grace.

I have met Michalious again, service in the name of Pyrtechon ... sounds like it may be my way. He has shown no fear in magic and promises possiblities of great power under this Pyrtechon. So long as I am not reduced to menial farm labor it may be alright. A different kind of organization, perhaps I can work with it. As it seems many in the cities fear me.

I have now spent much time on my own avoiding all contact with civilized towns. Only seldom entering a druid's circle for required supplies. I have learned much about myself but may require more then the company of Pane. I have found this time alone to be very enchanting, learning new skills is slow. I may see about joining with groups in the same manner as I did of old.
