Sister Aurora's story
Sister Aurora's Confidential Confessional Chronicle.
I still feel guilty about not telling the whole truth to the Inquisitor. It's much more difficult to balance promises to friends versus the Greater Truth in real life than Father Daybreak makes it sound in morning lessons. I nearly gave everything away when I realized that Kinric's intelligence service's holy trap had killed the foul Traditionalist thief, not Sildra or anything to do with us at all. But I had made a promise. Father Daybreak says perhaps I shouldn't make promises in the future that require me to conceal the truth. He's probably right, but how can I ever find out new unknown truths if I can't go exploring with friends like Melania and Lhovrik? And, just as important, how can I keep my little sister safe? Dov may be strong, but she has no sense of prudence. Our parents would kill me if anything happened to her.
I did tell the Inquisitor that the statue would have been of interest to people from the Church Traditional, and also to look for deaf people or people with hearing problems, so hopefully he'll find the real culprits soon. I was as truthful as I could be.
While things are quiet, I'd like to investigate another possible true story that came up during this investigation. There's reason to believe that Sir Kinric hired Ginara because he's trying to advance the career of his biological daughter. It would certainly help explain both why Ginara's the only one in her family without magical talent and why her parents don't treat her as well as Lhovrik. Ginara deserves to know the truth. If it's true, it will make her feel less insecure about her lack of magical talent, and perhaps suggest that she is destined by Liuerta to pursue the surreptitious and stealthy skills she seems so good at. But Melania and Dov aren't sure I should confront Ginara and her family directly about it. We should probably collect more evidence first.
I hope I can publish this chronicle someday. Oh well. Father Daybreak says that even with my not being able to tell the full truth, I should brighten to pale pink robes by next week! They have to be better than dusty rose...
