1693 – Aedan’s Journal Volume II (by Minnan1)

First Entry: I’ve contracted some kind of disease, pain goes through my body, I faint constantly, I can barely speak, I don’t know what’s wrong with me, we are heading North searching for elves to help me… :: :: We arrived at some place, they put me in a bed and Bircalin came to tell me he would go get some food for me… I yet dont understand humans, they seem to be more kind than it seems. :: :: I got cured after a while, we returned south heading for Laurelin, Haelphon suggests I stay in a place inhabitated by elves so I may find more of my kind among them. :: :: :: Second Entry: I’ve got a nice house from an elf named Midnus he seems like a good person and already knows of my origin, he promised to keep it as a secret. :: :: After a while we got a meeting with the High Prince to talk about me, he gave us some copies of a book with possible proofs of Ayleids founding Laurelin. Bircalin left to Ravenhold looking for a better place to live. :: :: I shall continue what follows in my Field Research for I almost run out of paper. :: :: :: Third Entry: I’ve contracted a disease once again… but this one seems different from the previous one, I went to meet Romanen and Verigan at the Museum to have a talk. When I arrived they stared at my face saying I had something on it, we ran to the nearest pond to wear it off with water, wich we couldnt do. We went to Raven Hold in search of a Druid to help me althoguh he didn’t help for an unknown reason. :: :: A Guard helped us come back to Laurelin to see if Respiren could help me, he wasn’t here. :: :: I began to feel better after a while so I decided to go get a drink with Verigan at the tavern. :: :: I knew what I had, I just didn’t want to tell my friends for their own safety. I had been Tainted during the fight at Oren against the Undead. The Aurorans had found me, The Last Ayleid… and they want me in their side… I do not know how to get rid of it for is not a common taint… I shall keep it in secret and try to wear it off somehow in order to keep my friends safe from it…. :: :: ::Final Entry: I cannot wear it off! I’ve tried everything in the book, even tried mixing different potions and still…. I cannot get rid of it… :: :: Sunlight is beginning to bother me, I cannot stand it so I’ve closed all light access to my house… The Weeks of staying in bed have kept me from cleaning my house and now I have a mess…. :: :: :: I feel how the taint is getting over me, I’ve run out of hope… I had so many things to do, so many things to share…. :: :: Seems like I’ll die before getting old… hehe… seems rather Ironic… the words of the Last Ayleid… I’ll die… before finding others of my kind… if they still live…. I cannot write anymore, my handwriting is getting bad and I can barely think…. Is time for me to say goodbye… :: :: Bircalin,Haelphon,Romanen,Verigan…. My Brothers…. I wish this had ended otherway…. I can die in peace, knowing you will always keep me in your memories…knowing that my kind wasn’t extinct until now…. :: Bircalin, You have plenty of knowledge from me as to fill a whole Library with it….thank you for being so kind with me…. :: :: Haelphon… thankyou for always helping me get over my emotions… :: ::Romanen… I forgive you and I hope you forgive me…. I wish we could’ve talked more… :: :: Verigan… fellow elf… I barely knew you…. you’ve been a nice friend to me, a loyal friend to all…. take care… :: :: I wish this had ended other way…. :: :: Farewell my Brothers!…..Farewell…. :: :: – Aedan, The Last Ayleid….. :: :: Ny Hath Agaiayae cei das Marghathar dos garlas vas motheneth You shall not fear the shadows of your ancestors…. :: Hathes margoth nas volegheth vohkul as Auror…. You shall trust the shadow you leave behind……
