[QUOTE="PHDungeon, post: 5057329, member: 86320"] Another journal from Bella After all the time on the road my days back in my shop should have been relaxing but something is happening to me and it was Cullen that helped me discover it. Manifesting my familiar had made me elated, after first bringing him into being I was anxious not to dissipate him again, afraid I wouldn’t be able to bring him back. It happened when I was changing. Cullen flew up into my face wringing his hands and avoiding my eyes as usual. “Mistress, forgive your humble servant this question, but there is a mark on your back and your arcane power courses through it.” Hearing that my blood ran cold. Being a changeling I had complete control over my appearance and given this persona’s need for obscurity I had no birthmarks, nothing to differentiate her besides being another pretty face. To hear that there was something on my back that I had not put there was terrifying. I rushed to the mirror to look. It was faded but still distinct, it looked like a backwards ‘Y’. My heart raced as I realized what I had to do. I couldn’t wait till I was out of sight of Victor’s prying eyes. Ever since I moved in here I’m sure the pervert watches me sleep, but this was important and he couldn’t be watching all the time. I pulled mirror behind my changing screen into the corner and in a moment I was the Lady Reanna, a persona I had adopted to get closer to Starke when I first arrived in the city. The mark was still there. A thin sheen of sweat broke out over my skin. Quickly I undressed and changed again, this time into Darrak Ironfounderson, a male dwarf persona I had taken on to learn the secrets of their blacksmithing. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the mark persisted. Finally I became my true shape and after several minutes I was able to breathe again when I saw that the mark did not disappear. I changed back into my current persona and fell upon my bed my mind racing. This must have something to do with me being a sorceress, finally my abilities had cursed me. I search Starke’s libraries to try and find out what the unnatural mark means and check it everyday for changes…it is darkening as each day passes …hopefully that is not a portent of things to come.
