I...I don't understand it.
I mean, I know it's entirely possible, given the phenomenon around this castle. People from the past eras can be brought here, even people who were dead like Troy and Elenor.
But why did it have to be him? I want to believe that everyone is capable of second chances but...Graham Cray was responsible for so much death and destruction. Goading Kooluk into an invasion and supplying them with the Rune Cannon. Tapping into the Emptiness and the world beyond to create ammunition and enslaving the Evil Eyes to build the cannons. Even with the burden on my soul, I don't know if I can forgive him for what he did.
My rune is silent on the matter. It doesn't seem to care. I suppose that's good. That means I can't let it influence me one way or the other, I have to make up my own mind about it. I don't really like having to face him, though. I think I'll spend time with Subala and fish a lot, just so I don't have to be around the areas of the castle where I might run into him.
The trip to the mountains was productive, at least. Luc wasn't kidding, there are some huge land-crabs there. We ate well for a couple of nights, and I guess the potch from its hoard was a good haul too. I declined most of my share, I only need enough to get by now that I have a sort-of job. We're back, safe and sound, and now I can get back to my partnership with Subala.
I'm going to need some time to deal with the idea of Cray being here, though.
