Yeesha's Journal.

[Sim]

Yeesha's journal is a sturdy ring-bound book. It's rigid mustard-coloured covers are made out of a flexible plastic. Printed neatly on the cover in thick marker is the word "Yeesha", with the number 128 in smaller lettering underneath.

All thoughts and opinins in here are held by Yeesha, and not necessarily myself. If you feel that I've lost the plot, or are misunderstanding events, drop me a PM, and I"ll let you know if it's player or character error. Everyone is capable of self-dellusion, Yeesha is no exception...
Oh! - and it's a personal journal, so I's spells it likes I wants ta... (yeh, that includes your name!)

I had the weirdest dream last night.
I was asked by a unicorn to go on a journey to save everything from being wiped out in some upcoming battle. I'd have written it off as just a dream, but it felt different. The places I was shown, they felt real, felt like home.
Maybe that's what's wrong with Relto.. it has never felt like home. I still don't know why I prefer sleeping in the Cleft. There is something about that place... I'm drawn to the power of the Bahro, I know... but maybe it's more than that... it's a divide.
Like me, the half-way point between two cultures. Balance.

The dream shook me up more than I realised. Seeing the death and destruction of your whole existance is not a nice nightmare... but this was worse... it was like I was actually there. I know this will happen if I don't stop those creatures.

The Unicorn asked me to make a linking book to a place called Kru'in. I've made many linking books over the years, but none like this one... I'm running up against walls constantly without a Master to refer to. I'm so close, the world is taking shape, I can feel it... but every time I think I've got it down, somethign else enexpected jumps up in my face... I'm just so frustrated.
I can't wait to show them what I've done. Daddy will be really stunned I think.

[Sim]

Going to Serinia to seek guidance from the Ancestors.
I really dont' want to go.
But I have to.
I dont' know what I"m going to do... They know I'm coming, so it's not like I'm walking in there like nothing has happened. I just wish that things had been different. Sometimes I still wonder if I am actually me. Especially when the ugly thoughts creep in. I miss Achanar more and more as time goes past... Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? - I guess it's because as I get older I'm understanding him more and more. I still go and play with the Mangrees on Haven when I get lonely. It's amazing what a few hours of ball-tossing can do for the soul.
Just thinking about it is making me happier. It's a connection to him, even if we never did it together.

I'm supposed to gather the 'Warriors of Light', and go on this journey... I wish Mother was here so I could ask her advice. Before I go off I need to verify this vision. The best way to do that is in Serinia... So I must go. NO delaying it any longer.

Everything here is as I remember.
It all looks the same.
I don't know why I expected it to be different, Zankia always said that Serina was ancient, that really the only changes they make are when they need to re-locate the dream chamber after the flower starts to die and becomes toxic.

I had always had a vivid mental image of what a toxic person would look like... Green slime oozing from decaying flesh... The reality was much, much worse... He looked so peaceful.... almost asleep. I sat there shocked, sobbing while the heat left his body.

And now I'm back.
I"m sitting next to that awful place.

And now I face it, I find that I can't bring myself to go in...
Maybe it's just a bad time... It seems that there are more dire things for me to attend to right now. I should go. Another time, perhaps I'll return and sit awhile in the stone forest and contemplate my navel. Be at one with this place again, then I might have the courage to face that dark part.

[Sim]

Well that was both easier and more difficult than I thought it'd be...
I feel tired emotionally, and this heat isn't helping... I really must get around to putting a bedroom in Relto. I guess by not doing it I"m getting around feeling uncomfortable sleeping there. It's stupid, I know... but when you sleep it's more than just resting. It gives you time to adapt and reset, and it should give the rest of the world around you the time to reset and adapt around you... I guess that's not saying it right either. When I wrote in fast time flow, I expected it to be a perk... I'd spend nine months here writing a book, and walk back into the world a few days after I left. I know that I'm bugging people. I miss them immensly, but they have seen me last only a few hours past.
I don't know... when I sleep here, it feels like I'm not doing it properly, like I'm cheating. Nightmares don't help either. I dont' know why they are worse in Relto... I figured that they'd be worst in Spire or Haven... but then again, I didn't think I'd ever be able to sleep in Serinia again either...
The world is a funny place.

[Sim]

Something strange is defilatly going on here.
I dont' know what happened, but I am split. From an instant in Dream, part of me woke up, while part of me is still asleep. We are functioning as seperate entities, but our thought processes are still linked somehow. I can't wait to tell Mother about it. Maybe this will be motivation for her to Dream again. Not sure if I want to tell father, I dont' think that he will understand.

It really is an odd feeling, being in two places at once. I keep on seeing shadows dancing in the edges of my eyes, but I turn to look and realise that they are actually movements in the other me's vision.

Although... Maybe I'm seeing ghosts. They are too quick to catch, but I can see them now. They are definatly here... well almost here. The big one, he is almost shapeless... he is fiddling with something and talking to someone who isn't here... Very Strange.

No, there is two of them. I can see a shape sitting up against the pillar. He is talking to the big one. I still can't make out any features... I wonder if they can see me faintly as I see them. Time for some experimentation I think...

[Sim]

What a way to start an Adventure!!!
We are gathered in the clearing on Kru'in.
We appear to be pinned down by some demonic force.
Three out of our party of eight are injured.
Two are incapable of walking.
And it's raining!
Mr Braithe, who is the only person familliar with this place is being very unco-operative about getting us out of here and to the safety of G'ain.
The large red one is not talking to anyone anymore.

Some how I thought the next part would be easy.
I got everyone together, got them to the clearing, even remembered provisions.
Now nothing. Not a clue, not even an inkling...
No one knows what's going on. No one's come to tell us what we have to do next. The other me seems to have dissapeared, so she's of no help either...

There has to be a clue!
There has to be something!

Still in Kru'in. We are on our way to G'ain to meet with the authorities.
The injured man is still being a burden, and we hope to get some help for him there. Tu'Tak and I have just bourne him across some rough ground, and I'm glad for the rest after all that effort. Tu'Tak has the ability to change his body into a number of different forms. He is currently carrying R'shall and myself on his back while in the form of a horse. This would be quite a plesant journey if it weren't for the threat of those demons, and the impending destruction of the universe.
I'd hoped that there would be better clues around here... somethign that showed us a way to move forward... but all we are picking up now are more questions to answer. I hope that it all falls into place soon.
This band of warriors works well in combat. I'm not really sure what my place is, I felt a bit useless. But the others all have a wide range of skills that complement each other well. The only thing I was able to do was actually pretty stupid. I tried the "wazzat" trick that I used to do on the Mangarees on Haven. I was hoping to draw the creature's attention to the north so that we could make out escape... I didn't think. Of course the creatures to the south of us were going to come charging through us to get to the north. I can't believe that I'm shrinking to that level of idiocy this early in the mission. I can't continue to make these sorts of mistakes, or I am going to get us killed. Mind you, I didn't realy think that it would work, either... There is a big difference between telling 4 Mangarees the direction of a lost ball, and telling hundreds of demons that we were escaping northward.
I will have to find some time to experiment with this.
I am to act like a priestess now. Thank god for all my time on Serenia amongst the priestesses there. I would give anything to ba able to duck back over there and grab some robes to wear, I just don't feel the part in my everyday clothes.
Moving about this world is a pain. Must have been written before KI was invented.

We are safe inside the walls of the castle now. Well, even that is not entirely true. We are safe from the hoardes of unknown beasts, but not from assasin demons aparently.
It amuses me no end that these capable warriors are quick to defend themselves, and be seen as a deadly force, yet still insist on deliberately antagonising one another at every availible opportunity! The rapid switch from veiled civility to violence really upset me at first, but I am beginning to get used to it. Does that make me less of a person. How long will it be before I too am hurting others, mearly because I am able?
They haven't done any major harm to each other yet, nor driven anyone away in anger, so I'll just have to wait and see I guess...

I am still split, and the dream me is still talking to the two in the dream place.
Lydia seems powerful and knowlegeable in The Dreaming. She has also told me more of this trump way that her people use as a linking tool. They can link to people as well as places, it seems... A concept that I find very intresting, and quite beyond the capabilities of The Art.
However, the KI system allows an artist to take pictures of people and places, it might be possible to devise a way to feed those images back into the system and have it create a link to a person that way. Especially if I can imbue an impression of a person's aura into the conexn. This will mean modifying my modifications to my KI, but at least I won't have to start from scratch.
This definatley needs more thought.

We are off on our search for the Sign tomorrow. I hope that our lead is not too tenious nor old.
