But I have been meditating on the nature of knowledge and the past lately. There are those who search for knowledge to simply know things, because they are curious about what has come before. And perhaps, for some Scholars, knowledge for its own sake is worthwhile.
I have come to a different view. In searching the past, I prepare for the future. Even when Vellichor gave his great injunction -- that the most-studious among us should take a sacred vow to forever guard the knowledge of the world -- he did so in revealing secrets that allowed humanity to prevail in the Reckoning.
I hope to follow that pragmatic path in the future.

Though, I did not escape entirely unscathed. Thought it might have seemed to them that I was focused on a single task, I can't say I won't have nightmares about those we fought, nor the way they were so in sync with each other. Their movements the same. Their speech patterns in unison with each other. I choose not to believe that all of them were willing subjects, not after the many villages I'd been to, gathering information and seeing just how decimated the shav'arvani populations had become at his hand.

The creature we faced was a thing of nightmare. I'm sure the scholars will be tutting over this journal for awhile to come. It resembled a bear. Maybe it was at one time, but it was huge and its eyes glowed green. I mean it, they glowed green. And it was covered in horrible sores. It exuded a wickedness and horror that was like every bad thing that has happened over the last five years all rolled into one. Was like a punch to the gut. As we engaged it arrows began to fall on us from the woods. Human helpers apparently.
Many people fell to the claws of that creature and others to arrows. That creature, that demon, feasted on the lives trapped below the ground. Until it was distracted enough by our attack. The Blades worked beautifully as ever in their tasks. It was Corporal Arianna, Lieutenant Harlex, and Private Starra who landed the telling blows which felled it finally. Afterwards our people searched the woods to rout the archers and any other unknown adversaries, but that seemed to be all. Once things have settled there will be a vigil for the fallen.

I never accepted the cat.
Yet life, winding strange as it does, brought me in contact with another of our Archlectors, this one surprised to learn my identity before immediately reminding me about the cat I was supposed to have, only that she had adopted it...and wouldn't you know it, there at her feet was another cat in need of a home. It all felt too coincidental to pass up. That time I accepted.
Baxtalo is a little white cat. His name means 'luck.'

He trained hard. I tried to give him the best that he could handle. And he may have faltered at times, but I never doubted his heart.
He took chivalry to heart. And in the end, it was that chivalry that took him from us. He gave himself to protect Dame Felicia as she struck the gargantuan with Wheelspinner. No. It wasn't the fatal blow. It may have not turned the tide.
But he smiled regardless.
He had protected the Lady.
And now he is gone.
He is no Duke. No noble. No name that will be recorded in the annals of Arx.
But for a brief and shining moment - he was the hero.
May a song be sung for him.

Perhaps indulging in a favorite hobby? I know that painting always makes me feel better. Or visiting a shrine? Prayer has always brought me great comfort.
Really it's tied to what you find worthwhile.

When you are young, you never think about what happens to your parents. You never prepare for the end. They are larger than life, they are immortal.
Oh, not my father please.

Which is good because very soon I'll be traveling with my team on a dangerous mission. My will was written some time ago, when I was headed off to the mountains, but there was one thing I'd forgotten to mention. My assistants are to work for Mason should anything happen to me. It seems like he's never got enough time to do stuff for himself, and so this might better aid him so he can spend more time with the children.
I've read some of the reports coming back from the front, and those who've already had their missions. To say that they have been troubling is an understatement. Even if we win here, it's not over, and we must turn our attention somewhere else. I will strive to do my best to be there for those future times to come, as I feel there's still much work to be done - and new allies to discover.
