Personal Journal: A New World
My interest in securing the Gate at Pharamond Castle has gone awry in a very unexpected and unfortunate way.
I found myself... hurled through the Corridor, unable to control my path or progress. I found myself in another world, and Hotupa and Diadora, who had been with me, nowhere to be found. The Gateway closed as soon as I had arrived, and no one in this place has any knowledge of how to re-open it. The estate at which I've arrived must be the site of a Gateway, or there is some other... beacon that is summoning people to it.
The residents' reaction to my arrival boiled down to, largely, "Oh no, not another one." They were curious about my origin, but I am one of many to come here. Most are from this world, but some claim to have been transported from the past, and one young man, very curious about my travels, says he was brought back from death. I am curious what would happen if they touched a Chronicle--perhaps they are actually analogues from another world, who only believe the are from this one because they do not know better?
I don't like the implications of that, however.
I don't know if Sieg has Shining Legacy. I have my half of the Twin Blades, but the other is with Fredegund, and I doubt it has its full properties or strength without its other half. I feel similarly lacking.
Oh, Fredegund. Please don't think I have abandoned you again.
I am sure Astrasia is in good hands, between Mourgent and Fredegund. But I am heartbroken to be taken from it, so early in the rebuilding process. I know that my arrival here was not of my doing, but I feel somehow that I have deserted Astrasia nonetheless.
But I cannot wallow in self-pity. I doubt so many people coming to this place is coincidental, and can't help but wonder of the people here are Starbearers. Many here have the stance of warriors, or carry weapons. Others seem familiar with magic. This suggests that someone or something is anticipating a fight. I must determine my purpose here--and otherwise, find a way to reopen the Gateway, so I may return to my people and my sister.
At least Sieg is here, and it is impossible to feel hopeless in his presence. I hear Minen, Buchse, and Ramin are here too, though I have not yet seen them. But at least I am not completely alone.
