[Torael]
Kori says my old journal died a horrible, moldy death, and he bought me this new one in Booty Bay. Kind of a shame, there were some memories in that old book... but then again, it might hurt a lot to relive some of them right now.
I'm back to being me, Torael, but part of me is still Rhui, Tandi's little pink bruddah. Tandi, Light bless him, he didn't even blink when I talked to him as myself for the first time. If there's one good thing that's come out of this mess, it's him. Well, him, and a newfound friendship in Silvyn, of all people. He found me, and figured out a way to bring me back. And he told me something... kind of amazing. He damn near glowed with joy. I'm honestly happy for him, and for Eumelia. There might be a little bit of envy, too, but I know better than to want something as impossible as a family. People like me don't have families. We have people who tolerate us for reasons beyond my reckoning.
I'll still go back to the village from time to time to learn more about the ways of the Loa and being a priest... it's not a knighthood, but it's something new and interesting.
Something to distract me.
I'm sorry, Tyr. I think I kind of knew from the start it would end like this. Not with the amnesia and the dragon and the end of the world, of course not. But I knew that you'd realize sooner or later that you could find someone better than a half-grown uneducated sneaky hooligan pickpocket orphan who kills people for money. Someone strong you can trust, and who won't keep disappearing on you.
