Just a Blondie's Story (Diary recap)
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2018 10:20 am
*Sounds of explosions as people scream in a gothic three story building in Selguant, Sembia. Alexa stands behind her friends as they face off against mages and a dusty and dastardly rogue with two daggers. A stray fireball opens up a wall on the third floor and two of the adventurers and an enemy fall down to the rocks and ocean bellow. Alexa screams as her friends fall and fails to reach them. The others engage in combat and a poorly aimed fireball blows up half the hallway. Everyone unconscious and weakened from falling structure. The dual daggered rogue stabs the unconscious bodies and walks up to a dazed Alexa. He grabs her by the throat and touches her forehead*
???: All you had to say was yes, but you broke the contract. Nothing personal...
*places a mark and kicks her into the ocean below....*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*diary, day one*
I woke up on a strange boat.
I roamed the city from the docks and all I could remember was...Mystra.
What was my name again...? Oh, Alexa. Alexa...? Yes, I am sure.
This city is...what did he say it was called? Condor? Caridor? Oh...Cordor.
I should...deliver these things? I suppose.
The hours passed and I was just...lost. I gave up on them. But I met this lady, Dawn? She said I should visit Miss Emil Snow? I said I was a healer. Why did I say that? The dwarf who is a guard. He says she is good. Maybe she can help me remember.
Oh...she is on that street. Where was that? I...might find it soon. It is getting cold now. I sold the dagger the boatman gave me and bought some warmer clothing from the market place I found. She said my style was ...out of date? Rude, but I suppose. This outfit is warmer.
I ate some of the snacks the boatman gave me. Some of the water too.
I am scared. Why am I so afraid? Mystra...? Who is she again? Mystra...Mystra...Mystra.
I took a nap on the street side. I could not find the inn. I was told the Nomad, but not where. Anyways, I think I found Emil's Doctor's place, so I went in.
I was told to wait, so I did so. Lacroix was really polite. He looks like he has had troubled. He told me of his old crew he ran with. My heart felt...heavy. Why? No matter.
Miss Emil said to find the Mage Tower and take a letter of recommendation. That I could consider studying with her after if I wanted to. So, I will consider it.
The mages were amazing! I really like Angela and Astra. The other mages told me their names, but they are complicated. My head is still spinning. Angela said she will help me remember! I can remember everything! I will have realization! I am excited! Yay...!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*two weeks later*
I went Planeswalking to beautiful places with Harvey and Fidock! Harvey was kind of romantic and sweet, hehe. We got lost in limbo and several other planes! And the mages have been helping me study lore and religions. I learned who Mystra is! She is the goddess I prayed to! Maybe she was guiding me here in a way. I found "Reflections of Mystra" and read it twice. Then I found others and continued to read. This is addicting.
I had a bad dream...an explosion of some sort. I saw people hurt and then I remember falling into an ocean. I woke up screaming in a cold sweat. I did not sleep the rest of the night.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Three weeks later*
I decided to join the Mages Tower. I have not written an application yet, but I am feel power growing inside me as I pray. Mystra sent me an animal when I was in danger. It was different from what I expected. It is...bigger. I see.
I met Eirik. He is charming too. He showed me his castle and it was awfully romantic. I left him a gift, hehe...
I met Mach. He was really funny. I have not laughed so hard since I was on this island! He has these two girls, Aobre and Aliel. They are really nice and easy to talk to. Aliel makes me smile a lot. Her red hair is rather lovely. Maybe I should paint my hair red for a week...
I love the mage tower! I met this really funny wild mage and he kind of blew me up, but I did not notice. He is adorable!
I met Kazen also. He was rather kind and sweet. He handled himself in the sewers rather well. I was pretty impressed! Not to say I was anything special anyways, but he could fight. He is a nice friend to have around. I like him...
Rann, he tried to sell me some marketing idea. He was rather nice though. Kazen was sort of mean to him. Hmm...
I missed Miss Snow again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*a Month later*
I slayed helped slay a dragon with Eirik, Anuia and Veirmont! My heart was going to explode! I barely kept up healing and it was rather exhilarating! My Mystra's stars...I will go run a mile after I thought.
Then these dark elves showed up and they were defeated. I almost did not make it, but they saved me from the fellow who was carrying me off! Gods that was too close...
I met some of the Radiant Hearts, but I never got their names aside from Bernor Silver-wind or something like that. He was rather dashing, but looked like he had seen a million wars. He recruited Kazen to their order. I wonder where their hide out is. Kaz was going to show me, but I had to speak with Miss Emil. She accepted me as a Field Medic! I was so excited to do this! I heard so many stories about her and I finally felt confident! So, I have to do my best! Yes...! She said I might have been a noble based on how I always bow and do polite manneristic things. Was I a good noble?
I asked the Archmage again to consider my dreamwalk. To no avail again. I will try later. I am excited to see what she produces!
I had the dream again.
I woke up crying.
Why...?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*the two weeks later*
I picked up art and tailoring as Profession. Why do they feels so...easy to do? Comfortable even.
I can use powerful spells now and blessings. It feels so normal. Was I like this before?
I got to know a lot of people a lot better. Petra, Lowell, Rann, Cedric, Gus, Aliel, and everyone else. I was even more excited to be accepted into the Tower by Astra after a meeting. I am not sure it is because I really did well on the interview, or if it was because she was already used to me and predicted I would join since I was there a lot anyways. I am excited regardless! I was invited to several factions, but I am...rather reserved. I hope to impress them all, but not be driven mad by so much burden. I will heal them all. Keep them all safe. Mystra's power is growing greatly. I have sought much knowledge too. Maybe I should hoard some books...
Eirik said he could not be seen around me much because it was for my safety.
It was...unpleasant. I felt rather upset.
I healed a lot of people lately. I came to bring Miss Emil the list. I searched a while.
I started to ask around for other means of discovering a Dreamwalk of sorts. Everyone kept saying to see Angela. I grew frustrated. I drank that night because I could not sleep anyways.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*days later again*
I got my own room in the Tower. I was searching so hard and Mystra gave me this opportunity. I am surely blessed! Thank you so much!
I saw undead legions and swarms of ogers. Found Bendir, the gorgeous nature town in the area by the forest. Saw dwarven halls in Borg, and many more places. I am becoming comfortable at sailing and more. I can navigate the lower island on foot now. My powerful water elemental is devestating enemies as I heal and keep her face. I met Miss Kerri for the first time. Quick passings. Her earrings make a pretty chime sound. It was nice...
She taught me to summon divine creatures! My heart is fluttering with excitement!!!
I feel awful about what is happening with Anuia. I really like her. She was so strong and brave while she fought the dragon. Seeing her like this, submitting to this Inquisitor...it felt odd. The counselor was a bully. But she did break the rules. But... *lots of scribbles*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*time is a day or two off*
Astra was promoted to Archmage! She is truly amazing and deserves it. I wonder what I can do to help her. She is quite the busy body and it is inspiring to see her work. I want to be as amazing as she is.
Kaz has been extra passive. Did I say something? No worry, I must deliver these glass vials for now.
I have been meeting with Miss Kerri lately. I did not know she was so famous and kind. Almost entrancing. What am I writing? I must be tired. Regardless, I deeply enjoy her company. Made her pies and all. I like the people from Radiant Heart.
I slept well this week. Thank Mystra...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Time not even recorded*
Angela finally had time to see me. I am writing this after the dream walk. She gave me a needle that shifts and morphs to help me with my remembered masteries. It is gorgeous. She said such inspiring things and I felt good for a time...
I went to bed.
I am horrified.
I am shaking.
The bed feels cold.
I feel cold.
I tried to sleep and woke up screaming.
I remember where I am from. I am from Selguant, Sembia. I was a noble before my house was slain by the Night Knives for me breaking a contract. I was a Fashion Designer and artist. It explains all the compliments on my styles, but still. I was to produce a clothing line and wed a noble, by Father's contract with the noble houses.
I refused.
A week later...everyone was slain. I healed my companions through the halls as they charged the Night Knives. We were successful until we were narrowed in a hallway. It was blown out and Morrison and Daxon fell. I could not reach them.
Another Fireball then a collapse.
Everyone was unconscious. A roguish fellow slew my friends.
Then he held me. And I felt the fall. The fall that lasted for hours. Days? Weeks? Forever...
I slept by Mystra's Altar...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kazen has been odd. I think I should let him be. I cannot...feel much right now.
Rann has been sweeter than honey as he lets me visit. I want to show him how I look like in this Royal Dress I made, but he said the next day it will be so. I am deeply excited to show him! Yay! I will join his Cordor Diplomatic Crew. I have many friends from all the cities and they are honest with me. I will benefit this city with the fine connections I have made. I trust them and I hope they trust me!
Kerri showed me the floating Elven city...
My heart...exploded with joy. So warm...
I helped fix an alter and made my first one for sale. It sold instantly! I am very confident that the next day will be even better! I shall be accepted to Rann's group, I will visit Radiant Heart, I shall make wands for the mage tower and I made more pies!!!
I feel so happy.
I still woke up screaming as I fell off the bed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Current day*
Helped Petra stay alive today. Lowell was horrified the whole time. After everything, I cried for him. But also, I was happy they were together. I tried rather hard to keep her regenerating.
Anuia needs to go to Pandamonum...or something. I keep hearing it is bad. I am ignorant yet again.
I met with Syl and Miss Kerri.....
Kaz walked by me again and nodded barely. The hells...
I broke a dress I was making. Stupid machine.
I was beat up by Ogres. Stupid ogres.
I met with the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor to join their cause. He said I was 'agreeable'. It was nice of him to say. But I was excited to show Rann my dress after being accepted. The last thing on my 'yay' list. He said he had to see to see it later. I was crushed...
I went to rest my frustrations away.
I fell asleep.
I woke up screaming after falling again.
I hate this. I hate everything. Stupid me. Cursed dreams. Bloody nightmares. So angry...I should have just said yes and saved my family and life. I broke a glass vial...
I see Mach talking as I drink this delicious liquor spiked coffee. I had four of them. Mach looks really bold. Oh, this fellow is talking to me? He is sweet, I hope he does not see me write this.
Oh, Kaz sent me a letter...why?
Everything is kind of dazed. I can not write more. I should leave.
*Alexa closes her diary and heads on outside......*
