Message: <blockquote data-quote="StalkingBlue" data-source="post: 1457105" data-attributes="member: 645">Apari's Account Apari finds some space and takes time to pray and meditate on the events of the past few days. he starts with a prayer of supplication. spirits of the earth strengthen me spirits of the air guide me spirits of water sustain me spirits of fire inspire me spirits of my ancestors protect me. I feel the shadow all around and can find no release, even in the depths of the forest I find only a little peace, evil seems everywhere and I sense it always. This is the price I pay for the connection I have to the land, The land serves me and grants me power but in return I must feel it’s pain. Apari spend time praying for each of his companions. I have fallen in with some interesting people, I am certain that they are heroes in the making, if they survive long enough. There is Tane who moves as silently as my kinsfolk, and is difficult to spot even by one as gifted as I, perhaps he carries some magic, but regardless he has great talent for stealth, his skills with weapons seems very limited but he is young and I am sure his abilities will grow. Jezzt, seems like the natural leader of the group, she seems very solid, capable and always concerned by the well being of her comrades, she wields a sword that is almost twice my height, she wields it skilfully and powerfully, she is certainly a worthy ally and comrade, if she survives long enough I am certain she will become a hero that has ballads sung about her. Zana, causes me the greatest concern and I ask all the spirits out there to keep an eye on her, she seems mentally unstable and prone to alcoholism and depression. I sense that she had a great fondness for a caransil called Loren, perhaps they were lovers! It is a great encouragement for me to see that these humans can have such strong feelings for an elf, if our races are to survive, humans and elves must become as close as siblings. Still I cannot help but worry about the warrior known as Zana, she carries great pain which I fear she will bury deep down where it will eventually grow into something darker. Spirits of Earth and Sky, Fire and Water, protect and guide my companions, grant them wisdom, patience and a release of their darkest hurts. My companions and I have been entrusted with the safety of a gnome called Jann, a cunning and intelligent person like so many of his kinfolk, But like so many I have met before, he surrounds himself with deceits and falsehoods, very rarely giving a straight answer, yet I do not begrudge him this because I understand that he gets joy and pleasure from playing his games. I also understand that often straight talking is not the best way. Spirits protect and guide this one called Jann and I pray to my ancestors that I must never have to “stop him from falling into enemy hands”. I would not wish to have to carry that burden. Apari gives the spirits a brief account of his journey so far We were to take Jann southwards and help him procure some horses from a trader known as Zoidan, there were concerns for Jann’s safety so he had been given some bodyguards, our journey southward was largely uneventful, one night we fought a fell uruk whom my comrades and I felled after a short fight, we also went around a group of orcs, How I wish my magics were greater so I could have done more to them. eventually we arrived at this camp of orcman and are waiting a night before we move on. Apari finishes his prayers and mediations and goes and rejoins his companions Rav</blockquote>
