Sono Andel's Journal

These are the tattered pages of one Sono Andel's writings, found in a small chest tucked away within the mana springs. Not in plain sight, but easy enough to find for someone who's looking.

~~~ Day 349 - Year 13 - 4th Age

     It's been a week since the news broke. Serene is dead and I'm wracked with an unending grief. Michael, bless his soul, has tried his best to console me.
     I've taken to the bottle instead. River's enchantment let's the liquor work it's magic.

Day 12 - Year 14 - 4th Age

     Happy new year...

     The holidays felt... empty. I spent time with the kids. River stopped by the Inn as well. it was nice but I feel so hollow.

     I retrieved Serene's sword from her youngest son. The child she had with the Dragon. He's a good soul, I gave considerable thought to killing him when I first met him.

     Jealousy maybe? Guilt driven anger?

     Regardless, I never acted on those impulses. Now I have the blade I sent before I died the last time.





     To what end?

Day 182 - Year 14 - 4th Age


     It's already Summer. Time is passing so quickly. I've been sleeping for longer and longer. Katrina told me I was in the crystal for two months this last time.

    Something feels.. off.

Day 355 - Year 14 - 4th Age

     It's the first day of winter... The cavern is growing colder.

     It's been over a year since Serene was killed, I keep staring at her sword, so small in my hands.

     There's a long sleep coming over me, I can feel it. I'm not sure when I'll awaken but I know when I do I need to seek him out...

Day 76 - Year 15 - 4th Age

     I was in hibernation for the duration of the winter months. My form seems... in complete.

     I had to inspect the blades for rust, holding Serene's blade my resolve has been steeled. I'm going to seek out that boy...

Day 90 - Year 15 - 4th Age

    It's been two weeks...

    A fortnight since I first approached him concerning his... heritage.

    It took some persuading and a deal that may haunt me but he agreed. And now a similar ritual to the one that was used to pull Dagger back from the ether into her first body will be used to bring back my beloved little bat. I lack a fresh corpse to put her in... but I have an idea.

     Back when I was doing diplomatic missions for Xela, a contact of mine sealed her being into a soul gem. I carried it for some time and retrieved the gem from my contact after she regained a body. If I can dig it up... I'll have my vessel.
