Hmmm... Well this sucks.

Today started out ordinarily enough. I worked on Velrik and Imoen's new tree house and talked to Nic a bit. The two demons also made appearances in the hall and I very nearly got into a fight with the male, Amo I believe, because he looked as though he was about to hit Sol. I went to stop him and he tried to cast some silly spell on me (the nerve of some demons!) but it failed and then I went back to my own business figuring to let him off with a warning cuz I'm nice like that. Like I said if you absolutely have to fight a girl you should limit yourself to kicking and maybe shoving, I'm still not sure if that's right, but definately no hitting with your hands.

After a while Velrik and Imoen appeared and I talked to them for a while and then tried to get Sabe to come on a quest with me. Unfortunately there weren't enough people so once more it had to be delayed and I went to go see Wraith instead. I caught her at a bad time so she shoved me into the floor but it was Wraith and, like Ariel, there's nothing she could do that'd make me mad. She calmed down a bit though and we talked about old times and promised to take her on an adventure after teasing her about all the cute stuff she did when she was little (she once stabbed me with a dagger and tied me up and threatened to torture me, but you could tell she only did it cuz she cared about me)

Suddenly I felt the presence of Animus, Lexi's other son. I thought he was a very nice person from what I heard of him but it turned out he died and was dragged to the abyss, corrupted and sent back. He had a son and Lexi and I came to like her grandchild a lot. Unfortunately Animus came for him. I searched for where he hid the child for a while and then had a duel with animus himself but he escaped. Now I'm certain he's taken Maris to the abyss and I must escape from here and follow there. I've tried to recruit all those I can for the effort. I shouldnt have let him be taken in the first place so it's really my fault. No matter how powerful I become I never seem to be able to do enough to protect everyone...

I wanted to try to talk to Wraith again but Phoenix had some strange wards set up and when I knocked on his door I was sent to this dungeon. It's the same one we rescued Mes from yesterday so I'm sure I can get out, I just hope it's in time to save Maris. I can't afford to fail again.
