Subject     Renan a New Journey

It has
only been a few weeks yet my life has changed so much, it
all
changed since the first day I met her. I met her at the
market in Sanction,
her hair black as a raven and her eyes
pierced me and aroused my lions. I
felt lust for a woman I had
just met. After conversing with her several days
that week i
learned she was a servant to a spice merchant, this stired
my
heart with anger at her being treated so poorly. I told my
parents about
this girl and they told me I was a fool and that
they would not lower their
family position by letting me marry a
commoner.

Still my heart ached for this raven hair girl. I asked
her to run away with
me, to marry me and leave this place. She
spoke of fearing her lord that he
would kill her if she tried to
flee. Telling me that she would only feel
safe leaving with me if
he was dead so that should could love me without
fear. I resigned
myself to his death so that I might possess this woman, I
told
her he would be dead by morning. With that news she came in close
and
touched her body next to mine kissing me with a fire of
passion.

I bought a mace with a handle of bone in the market
that day and snuck
outside the house where my loves master lived.
It was late in the night when
he returned from the taverns and
brothels, he was weak with drink and I was
strong with love and
desire. With a single blow I crushed his skull in, he
crumpled to
the ground. Breaking into the house and taking my love away I
had
to stop at my house before I left to gather some supplies for us
so we
could make our escape. My parents were still up waiting for
me, when they
saw my love with me and the bloodly mace they
screamed out and called me a
murder. I quickly silenced them both
with the mace, adding their blood to my
hands they died
quickly.

Suddely my loved began laughing with a cackle glee,
suddely her form changed
to another woman a goddess among women.
She told me that I had proved
amusing and would grant me power,
to wield her name like a weapon, he name
was Takhisis. She bade
me to take what I could and head north to where I
would be one
with her, a cleric serving his goddess. That is why my life
ended
and my new life began.

Subject     Army
Life

Travel towards Neraka had been slow on foot. There
were occasional
patrols that saw me but just one look at my cold
eyes and they let me pass
without incident. Mercenarys heading
towards Neraka were common these days
with a call out for
soldiers of all types these days. Nearing the city it
smells of
power, armies gathering and weapons being forged. After making
my
way into the city I signed up at a recruitment office to be a
infantry in
the red army. Not wanting to make myself apparent
that my queen had blessed
me I wanted to earn my rank on my own
merits.

I met with my commmanding officer Ayasana, and I was
told that i was under
her command, I then went and gathered
equipment from the provision office. A
new suit of black leather
armor to go with the mace that my queen had given
me.

The first
2 weeks were brutal, I was not nearly as skilled with weapons
as
some of the other troops. I suffered more then my share of
injuries but
thanks to my queen I was always able to heal myself
before the next day. I
had to practice my spells in secret not
wanting to give myself away, it was
difficult learning to channel
that power. I focused on protecting myself
first then branching
out into elemental spells and spells of power that I
could use to
slay my foes w I had to practice my spells in secret not

power. I focused on protecting myself first then branching

elemental spells and spells of power that I could use to
slay my foes with.
Soon I shall reval myself as a cleric of my
queen and I will take my
rightful place in her master plan.

Subject     Emperor
is Missing

Most of the army that could be dispatched to
search for the emperor had
already been sent. My training had not
yet been completed in the temple so I
was not with the rest of
the army. Rumors from some of the other troops is
that The
solamnics ambused him while he was looking for Berem. I
dismissed
that right away since I know the power of the magic he
could wield. I prayed
to the dark queen to grant me a vison on
where I might find him, knowing
that if he was injured in battle
his magic might have taken him to a secure
play away from Neraka.
Everyone is worried about their rank and the Emperor
encourages
his troops to be agressive for their rank, so he would
have
wanted to protect himself and shield his location.

After
several hours I waited for a response from my queen, she was
distant
searching for this Berem. I wait for a sign from her to
choose my next move.

Reporting for Duty

Renan had spent three days time in the
temple neither eating or sleeping
till the Queen of Darkness
anger subsided. Hearing a voice Renan bowed and
said, "Queen I
listen and obey command me."

"Luerk has failed me you will
retrieve him and bring him back to the temple.
An expedition to
bring him back has already left you will join them", Renan
heard
in his head.

Nodding and smiling I cast a spell if nourshiment
before I set out on my
journey. I must not fail my Queen, Renan
considered, if one so mighty as
Luerk can incur her wrath then no
one is safe.

Casting a might spell of transportant Renan appears
in a small camp in the
desert. Looking around some sentries seem
concered that he appeared out of
thin air. I bring out my holy
symbol from under my vest, the Cresent Moon
shinning clear in the
night with the power of my goddess. I order the senty,

"Take me
to commander Ayasana, we have much to discuss", Renan ordered.
