Underdark diaries: Day ?

It's no longer possible to discern how long I've been in the dungeons of house Navere. My only plan has failed, but that's alright. I hope that by gaining the favor of Gia or Valkryn I may be able to get to Alais and try to convince her to bow to them as I have.

Alais' pain has often been more present than my own, despite the vile methods of my jail keepers. I can't explain it but ever since Alais was taken I realized that our fates were joined in some way. I know Juliette isn't here, but if anything I do can help to keep Alais safe I'm going to do it.


I offered my service to Gia and Valkryn finally, and have given up on any chance of preserving myself. I was meant to burn for someone else, born to die.

The old doctrine that the strong exist to protect the weak has fallen away in the face of all this. It simply dosn't make sense any longer. I was weak, and had fooled myself into believing I was strong enough to help people, but all the fighting did was uysually to prolong the struggle and misery, to delay the inevitable.
