Relationship Note on Dawn
This whole mess has leaved some very disturbing connotations with me, and things I can't seem to shake.
And I don't know whether or not it was her intention. Asking for a vote, and the vote or choice doesn't even matter, doing the very thing that was being discussed. If that was the case, why even have a gathering of the council, what was the point if you were just going to do it anyways?
Make no mistake, I believed the Tiend was the right choice, but how Dawn went about it, accusing people of not holding to their word and then she goes out and breaks her's. I don't understand. Is there a story that we don't know? Is there something that we should know? What more isn't being said and more importantly, /why/ isn't it being said?
She had put everything on the Tiend being completed. Enough to throw a sham of an Assembly of Peers and a vote that didn't matter. And when she says that she will be one of the sacrifices, she doesn't even go through with it herself like she said she would. I don't say that because I wanted her to die. Fact is, I would've rather not anyone had to. Enough people are going to die in the coming days, months, and likely years.
But when you're the only one that returns. Left with with twenty-one people. Only two return. I assume that thirteen of them are dead through the ritual. What happened to the others? Why are you still alive? And what made you decide to sacrifice Lady Darkwater instead of yourself, since you seemed to be so willing to throw yourself on the sword of martyrdom but then couldn't go throw with the act?
I don't want to think these thoughts, I don't want to accuse like this. Blazing sands, I gave my daughter's middle name in honor of you. But all of us, especially the Darkwaters deserve answers. And these last months, you have shut out just about everyone.
I wish I knew why. I wish I didn't think of you like I do now. And I wish, more than the rest, that you would tell us why.

My sea has gone dry.
So too now, is my sun burnt out.
All I have left, are the stones and bones. Her smile, even when I scolded her was always so warm.
I ask you kindly - reader.
Do not move me to anger any time soon. My mercy drained with the waters and went out with the light.
- Maximilian Darkwater.

I have been given a promotion in the Mummers. I have decided that my new title shall be 'Assistant Director of Operations'. It sounds important, doesn't it? Much more important than just 'assistant'. Ill have to have business cards made.

I suck at parties. I drink. That's about all I am good at. I stayed home and did the same thing minus having to do something interesting to my hair.
Socialization? Flirting? Dancing? Fuck that noise.
Give me a bar full of soldiers telling ribald stories and no shit there I was tales any day. I really need to get off my skinny ass and host that.

Such tales of darkness.
Ingenuity, Courage.
Strong arms, minds and wills.

I think I may have been the last person to see Countess Nekarris alive.
I should have known. I should have realized, when she mentioned she was leaving the city, what she was intending to do.
She was far more clever than many in her life gave her credit for, I think.

Finally went to my first proper southerner party. Not nearly as debauched as I was led to believe.
Did get to see calypso in a dress though...
We'll call it a wash

If you require something of Signe Nightgold, tell Valery to poke at the little mountain hiding underneath my bed-furs. The laughable creature that resides there may not surface for a while.

I'm feeling hopeful today. As I meet more and more shaman, my spirits lift. I think together we can achieve something good.
Even as the world tries to forget about us and our small numbers, we are strong and able, most of all: determined. There will come a time when our connection to the spirits will benefit all! Then they will remember how important the spirits are. How a part of the world--how beautiful they make it.
It amazes me how we follow our separate paths, but are connected like the web of a spider with it's beautiful spindles fanning out in every direction.
Ha! I look at my words and think I would've made a bad author or poet. But it feels good to write them down and get them out.
