I've been having more of these "visions" lately.
I visited the Temple of Solusek Ro again and had another, not as ... harsh vision.

I don't care to talk of that vision in a place where many can wander in on it however.

But I have also been having visions away from the temple.. away from Lavastorm. I have them in my dreams, and I have them as waking dreams. I see far away places that I have no real memory of. I think.. that some of these places are familiar to things I see in the world today, but.. different.. I dare venture to say I am seeing things as they were.. before the Rending of Norrath.

Even.. Luclin? I've seen glimpses of a large spire in the middle of a stone room, busy with activity..
They fit the descriptions of the Nexus that my mother told me while I still had her.

It worries me that I don't know how, or even why I am seeing these things. It seems to be effecting me in strange ways, also. It always hovers over me and I cannot rid myself of the feeling that something larger is at work. I'm starting to drift away from people because of it. I feel a need to learn.. to improve.. to become more powerful, no matter what it takes.

When I was young and studying with the wizards of Qeynos, I saw the moon of Luclin appear suddenly in the night sky. Hope flared in me that maybe my father was still alive.. that I could still see him, still talk to him, still learn from him.... and then I watched as Luclin began to violently rip apart.






I don't want to let myself think that this is another chance to know my father.

Nothing much to report, as usual. I felt another power surge this evening after battling Griffons of many varieties today. Now I want to rest and regain strength. Tomorrow I resume adventuring!

More ramblings of Jai.

The guild bothers me sometimes. Sudden decisions on council positions, despite what they say, don't sit well with me. I know I'm of no power within the guild.. but I'd like to know what's going on. If they're going to fill a new part, I'd like to know (for sure) that it exists first. The Ambassador position had been offered to Anskiere awhile ago. I'm unsure what my overall feeling is of all this. The stars, in time, will tell.

I'm also feeling quite guilty lately for bringing my husband into the guild. He has so much more he'd rather aspire to.. but this guild is not in sync with him, it seems. I do wish he would just do what he wants, whether I, or anyone else, likes it or not. He needs to follow his own path, not one that he feels he should follow.. beside me. Although, that would probably result in him paying even less attention to the fact that I am, indeed, his wife. I'd like to be his focus once in awhile.. but I know that is not in his highest priorities. I know he loves me.

Even if I am a half blood. Hah!

I'm looking forward, as the stars tell me something esciting may happen soon.

Ramblings of Jai, hah.

I don't plan on writing much in here. I don't feel that my adventures are worthy of being recorded, worthy of being remembered. Even when I do tell of my adventures, I feel.. most people don't care anyway.

I've been travelling further in my adventures lately. Mostly alone because there is no one to go with, save Anskiere, but he's always busy with other things. Surely, more important as well. I've been spending more time at home, reading, painting.. dreaming. Mostly dreaming these days, I think.

I did buy a new wand the other day. It's power is amazing, I've had to concentrate on mastering it as of late. It's a bit gaudy, but hey, it does the job! Now if only to find a new robe.. or some armour. Woe is me; I want some protection, hah! We mages and our silly robes..

Yesterday was a great day! While walking around in the Thundering Steppes, I met up with Faeryl the Shadowknight. Her skill level is around the same as mine, so we adventured together for a while. While doing so, I saw the strangest thing - rainbows shooting out from the ground! As I walked into it, I felt the scrying stones whisper in my pocket. So I took one out and it started flashing different colors, ultimately ending up in me finding a spell book of some sort. In it were instructions to do training. I kept using scrying stones until the rainbows went away. I ended up getting another training book and 2 Ancient Silver Coins. I need the coins to help this fair lady back at the third tower, and I will be on the lookout for more.

Anyways, I asked Faeryl if she were interested in helping me out with those two books I found, and she was. The first training session was to kill 5 undead types in 5 minutes. I bet I probably could have done this myself, but I would've been pushing the envelope, as they say. With her help, we ended up completing the training in under 2 minutes. The next training book instructed me to kill 5 centaur types in 5 minutes or less. They were a little hard to find at first, but we ended up completing the mission with around 30 seconds to spare.

After that, another guild member - Telara - showed up and adventured with us. It seems those two already know each other, seeing as how they kept kissing each other back and forth. I've not seen such things in Norrath before. However, I am not one to judge people by who they want to see. Anyways, after killing lots of undead, looting treasure, and conversing with them for a while, I ended up disbanding from the group and went to set up camp. As I lay there, I could feel a surge of power welling up inside me. I slept for only a few hours before waking and venturing back into the area with the undead. Sure enough, after slaying a couple dozen undead, I felt the power surge explode within me; my vision turned a brilliant flash of white as I could see nothing but the image of a spell etched into my mind. When I could use my sight again, I found out I had learned another spell. This drained the energy from me, so here I am camping again outside the undead area. I am going to sleep for now, and when I awake, I will continue killing them. Good night all!

Another day full of minor achievements. I can feel myself getting stronger by the day. I have taken some time today to think about where I am and how I've manage thus far. I have done a lot of stuff by myself, and also a lot of stuff with the help of friends.

Heh, I remember when the gnolls in the Thundering Steppes ambushed and kidnapped me. Rassi was the one who came by and saved me. I owe a lot to her, including my life. I have also been helped by the wisdom of Anskiere, Jaipehg, Spaar, Midjit, Sapienti, among many other friends and Sigils. I would not be where I am today without the help of these people.

Alright, back to today. I helped that dwarf do some hunting in the Steppes again, he rewarded me nicely. I found a rainbow area and used a couple of scrying stones, only to get a couple of them back. I am in the middle of trying to help someone find 5 Silver Coins using these stones, but so far nothing has shown up. I will not quit this quest, I have never quit anything in my life. I only take breaks from certain things.

Well, the moon is high in the sky, and I feel my eyelids grow heavy. I sure do hope camping out here in the Steppes will be safe tonight. I do not want more leg biters coming up and attacking me in my sleep.

Visions?

I've been enjoying my travels out to Lavastorm lately. A new place to explore is always great for me. A way to get away and see new wonders by myself. Alone.
But something strange happened this time. Running along the lava pools I saw a stone structure in the distance. I of course went to investigate. Getting inside was a little hairy.. one of the guards in the first hall could sense me there even through my invisibility. I took a chance and charged through. Luckily he could just sense me, not quite see me, as I lost him by turning a few corners. I took a moment to catch my breath before I had a look around.
Suddenly I was struck with a sense of vertigo. I had to hold myself up with the wall behind me for fear I was going to lose the ability to hold myself in a standing position. My vision was blurry and my head was pounding. And then.. it was over.
I stood up straight again and had another look around. Suddenly I knew exactly where I was. I was standing in the Temple of Solusek Ro.
I don't know how I knew, it felt like I had been there before. Like a memory that I could just barely see in my mind.
I felt like this place was a safehaven for me. Even though I knew that I was surrounded by creatures that would surely try to kill me if they knew I was there.
Making my way slowly down the halls, trying to make sense of what happened, I began to recall stories that my mother told me of my father. It was then that I remembered she had mentioned in passing when teaching me of Solusek Ro that my father often visited this place. I could tell at the time she wasn't too happy about the fact that he would go off for days at a time to meditate or be alone or whatever he did there.

But that didn't answer why this happened to me when I entered this place. I felt that if I looked hard enough I could almost see what my father once saw. But I know that isn't possible. I would like to think that my father was there with me, but...

I can't get over how comfortable and safe I felt there. Like I was at home.

I'll go there and visit again, and try to learn more about this.

I have done a lot of adventuring since vowing to become a Wizard. My older brother went off and became a Warlock, using his knowledge of magic and power for destruction, wanting revenge for our parent's death. I have not seen or heard from him since.

However, when I reach my desired power level, I will go and search all over Norrath for him, and hopefully teach him vengeance is not the answer. At any rate, each day I am getting stronger with the elements, especially Ice and Lightning.

Lately, I have been venturing into the Thundering Steppes. I don't venture far into there; the creatures farther into the Steppes are far too strong for me to handle. Give me time, and I will be able to take them on. On a good note, my funds are nice and plentiful - 48 gold. I eventually will get a horse; I hate running everywhere. The Griffons are nice, save for they're not in the Steppes, and they only have 3 stations in Antonica. Oh well, in due time.

Well, the sun sets, so I guess I'll have to finish this entry up. I will write more when I have the chance (and more parchment).

The Past and the Future

For a long time I felt that there was no need to keep any of my adventures or thoughts in a written form. They were only needed in my head, and there I thought they could stay.
However, as I live my life and continue to advance both my power and knowledge, I remember back to friends I have had and lost in the past. Nearly an entire band of adventurers was wiped out by that damned gargyole, yet no one but me seems to have memory or even care about them.

They had never written anything about their lives, and now I, the only one who escaped with his life from those catacombs, hold their memories.

Perhaps all of this is in memory to them. Dohk, Sammie, Huckzilla, Begiit, Tepok. So they aren't forgotten.

I suppose it can also be said that this is so I do not fade away as they have when I am gone.

Perhaps if I can find time between my studies and adventuring, I will write up some stories of my past adventures, as well as I can remember them.

Also, I have invited two of my wizard kin to add in here and write their adventures, or anything they may have on their mind.
