Welcome to paradise (Entry 110)
Dear diary,
A week has passed since acquiring the scroll from the hags and I’ve spent most of my time studying it. I had a rough idea what the ritual would do, but I want to be absolutely sure if I ever want to use it.
From what I gathered, the ritual requires three spellcasters to perform and it allows one of the spirits trapped on the material plane to temporarily possess a mortal form. They would retain most of their power, but not all. It only works on a willing mortal and the closer or more similar the target is to the spirit, the more power they possess.
Young woman, black hair, witchy magic….it certainly explains why Sister Willow took an interest in me, and why I am the best target for this ritual. But we’re not there yet. This still leaves many questions unanswered. Questions I will need to ask of Sister Willow in person. An idea has started blooming in the back of my mind on how to accomplish that, but that is a worry for another day.
A week has passed and we gathered to discuss what to do next. The first thing that I noticed is how much my dear brother has changed. Being bonded with the primordial elemental has taken its toll for sure. His skin has turned red, with dark cracks all along it. So powerful is the bond that he is barely human anymore, rather a fire genasi. Sooner or later we would have to deal with this.
But for now we had more pressing matters to attend to. Our first priority is the ritual to transport Tarn to the feywild. There was one little hitch, which we were aware of, and that is that Myrddin would need someone closely linked to the Immerglade. One of those secrets I had been carrying around for a long time now, and had only recently shared with Gael, because I believed he had a right to know. Namely that we have someone that is closely linked to the Immerglade. Dynia, the daughter of queen Titania.
The burden of sharing this was up to Gael now, and he decided to divulge the information, thinking that this was the right time. As soon as he shared that Dynia was in fact the heir to the throne of the Immerglade I heard the sound of glass shattering. Gael half keeled over, clutching his head and screaming out in pain. A wave of raw energy swept out from Gael’s hunched over form, and then the world fell silent.
I looked at Gael and saw in his eyes the same worry I had. Dynia. Mentioning her heritage had shattered the magic holding her hidden. We rushed over to his home, finding the girl unconscious on the floor. We couldn’t immediately revive her. As I sat at her side and tried to wake her up, lady Vivienne stormed in, anger clear on her face. Gael used his magic to revive Dynia, while I explained to Vivienne what had happened, and that I had known all this time who Dynia was. She shook her head, saying that we would need to hurry with the ritual as Ulther would now be aware of Dynia. I had never been sure of her allegiance, but now it was clear. Vivienne was on the side of Immerglade, and she was ready to sacrifice herself to buy some time. She said goodbye and teleported away to distract Ulther, while we rushed to Myrrdin to complete the ritual.
We took up positions around the ritual circle, ready to defend Myrddin at all costs. He warned us not to cross the circle, and to not cast magic through or into it, as it could upset the delicate balance, and drop us into the wrong plane.
As soon as the ritual started, a shiver ran down my spine. What we were doing was unnatural. I went against the rules of nature, and we were going to break all of them. Soon after we heard the voices whisper in the wind. A conversation between two unseen … things.
“This is not allowed. The passage is guarded” One whispered.
“These rules don’t apply anymore.” The other replied.
“We still remember.”
“They are capable of stopping you.” The second voice replied again.
“We have stopped others before.”
It sounded final, certain. I clenched my hand around my athame, ready to leap into action. And then the first of the undead appeared, quickly followed by another. Then more surrounding us, black flames burning between their bones and behind their eye sockets. To make things worse arrows started raining down on us from some unseen assailant. Or at least unseen for most of us. Gael rushed up to the roof to deal with the archer while the rest of us scrambled to keep the undead away from the magic circle.
Gael managed to lure the archer to the side of the roof, and when finally in my sight, I turned her to stone. The rest quickly dealt with the remaining undead. As the noise of the battle faded, we glanced at the ritual. Horror gripping our hearts. The circle was swirling with elemental and necrotic energy from the spells that had been cast. Too much of it. I couldn’t risk it infecting the ritual so something needed to be done to balance it.
So I did something desperate. I stepped into the circle, brandishing my athame. It was attuned to necrotic energy, and combined with my own magic, maybe I could draw it all into myself.
It worked.
All the swirling energy focussed on the athame in my hand, turning the necrotic energy into elemental. And then it all released at once. I had hoped to contain it, draw it all in. It was a dangerous gamble, one that could kill me. And it almost did. Instead of drawing into me, it exploded outward, tempered by my magic, but still violent.
I woke up again with Alistan kneeling at my side, one hand holding my head, the other holding an empty potion. My entire body ached in coldness but I smiled softly before looking over at the circle. The magic was gone, but I could see green mist swirling around the village. Spreading out from Tarn over the Lorewood. It had worked. The ritual had worked. Tarn was in the feywild.
Alistan helped me to my feet and I quickly received my athame, which to my surprise was still in one piece. Cracks had formed along the blade, damaged by the blast of cold. I honestly had expected worse.
Step one of our plan had succeeded. Tarn was in the Immerglade and saved from Ulther’s direct influence. But we had rushed things into motion and now we needed to plan what step to take next.

Dear diary, The next morning we set up the fake ritual to draw our former ally Anaya. We had picked the chamber with the Heart of Air as our ambush site, seeing as that would make it look more genuine. The giants, not fully trusting us, stayed present ...

03:09 am - 20.05.2026Myrddin's grand plan (Entry 104)
Dear diary, Anaya’s threat made dealing with her a more urgent matter than we would have liked. Our two biggest worries about her talk with Luke were the foxant, as she would still need its egg for her ritual, and the Heart of Air. She had claimed to...

05:23 am - 17.05.2026Arca Valon (Entry 103)
Dear diary, After a few days of good old fashioned crossing the planes south of Latebra Velora, and hiking through the woods, we arrived at the edge of the territory now called Arca Valon. The weather steadily improved, but I quickly realised that this...
05:19 pm - 10.05.2026Think about it (Entry 102)
Dear Diary, It has been a week since the debacle with Anaya and Myrrdin and I spent most of that either reading through the books I brought from the archdruid’s cavern, or working in my vegetable garden. Sometimes my own thoughts are the best company...

09:44 pm - 08.05.2026Bad blood (Entry 101)
Dear diary, A few days have passed since we managed to gain the wish from the genie, and in that time I returned the Heart of Primal Water to Luke, so he can bind to it. We still need to gather the Heart of Primal Air from the giants, but that way he a...

Dear Diary, With the excursion into Keralon a failure, we licked out wounds and thought about what to do next. We could accept the king’s terms of course, it would save a lot of lives, but that meant not acting anymore. I laid out the consequences cl...
05:21 pm - 20.04.2026Heavy is the crown (Entry 99)
Dear diary, A week has passed since taking Lady Magnolia off the playing field, and our ordeal deep in the mines below Hillfield. I took some time delving deeper into the mystery that is my athame. To unlock more of its secrets, I needed to figure out ...

Dear Diary, As the tree went up in flames and their mistress fled down the streets, the rest of the fey household fled Magnolia’s mansion, leaving us alone in the courtyard. We took the opportunity to rummage through the mansion in search for incrimi...

Dear diary, After having spent the night in Luke’s protective little spell, allowing for a restful and undisturbed night, we headed into the sewers to find our way to the surface. It wasn’t long before we found a way up, and along the way we notice...

Dear diary, It seems the time between my entries in this journal grows longer and longer. Not for lack of hours in the day, but because little has happened worth committing to parchment. Life, for a brief moment, decided to resemble something close to ...

Dear diary, It has been too long since I last wrote in these pages. Travel has a way of swallowing both time and reflection, and after Nidhogg, there was little room for either. We decided, perhaps unwisely, that it was time to turn our attention ba...

Dear Diary, For the second time in as many weeks, we returned to Tarn with more than a hundred refugees trailing behind us like ghosts who had forgotten how to stop walking. More lives uprooted. More homes reduced to memories by ancient grudges and ...
07:41 pm - 04.01.2026Eileen Inkheart and the cursed village (Entry 93)
Dear diary, After Gael’s… adventure, we decided it was time to return to Rosebloom and uncover the truth behind the thorns choking the valley. Whatever was happening there would not resolve itself, and ignoring it any longer felt dangerously close ...
02:49 pm - 26.12.2025A tale of two shadows (Entry 92)
Dear Diary, We spent the next few days settling into our new lives in Tarn, so I’ll try to distill only what mattered most — though even the quiet moments felt heavy with meaning after everything we’d endured. To begin with, I moved back into ...
03:33 pm - 08.12.2025Home (Entry 91)
Dear diary, Early morning on the eleventh of Edon, we broke camp and slipped once more into the winding arteries of the Lorewood. The forest was quiet in that unsettling Lorewood way — the silence never quite natural, as though the trees were listeni...
09:07 pm - 21.11.2025Cut the bridge (Entry 90)
Dear diary, The first day within the Lorewood passed in an uneasy quiet, as though the forest had decided to hold its breath and simply watch us. By early evening on the ninth of Edon, the trees thinned and Logvale came into view — the abandoned logg...
07:42 pm - 21.11.2025Dear uncle… (Entry 89)
Dear diary, Morning came sharp and grey after our midnight parley with the Red Knight, the Knight Nemesis of the Abyss. None of us spoke much as we broke camp; even the forest felt as though it were listening, waiting to see what we would do next. The ...
07:15 pm - 18.11.2025The Red Knight (Entry 88)
Dear diary, It took us five long days of travel to reach the path that winds through the Lorewood, the road that will lead us to Hillfield — our new home, or what we hope will become one. The days themselves passed quietly, almost eerily so after a...
07:14 pm - 18.11.2025The Red Knight (Entry 88)

05:52 pm - 04.11.2025On the road (Entry 87)
Dear diary, That night, Lady Rootskewer came to me in dreams. She appeared not as a nightmare, but as a presence — half-shadow, half-root, her eyes gleaming like moonlight through moss. She shared what I had long sought: the truth of the primordia...
11:49 am - 28.10.2025The end of a chapter (entry 86)
Dear diary, A New Month, a New Start? After a much-needed night’s rest, we returned to the keep — what remained of it — to see what could be recovered. I knew in my heart that Keralon was lost to us, but still, some foolish part of me hoped we...
04:17 pm - 26.10.2025Wolf's Rest betrayed (entry 85)
Dear diary, As I write this, my hands tremble with barely contained rage. Each letter bleeds from me like venom, a small act of defiance against the fire coursing through my veins. I tell myself that setting these thoughts to paper will calm the tempes...

Dear diary, After several days of travel — first to Galienne’s lair to convince the dragonnels to bear us skyward, and then back across the countryside toward Keralon — we finally reached the Temple of Air. Or rather, the flying citadel that hous...

10:54 am - 16.10.2025The return of the twins (Entry 83)
Dear Diary, We agreed there was no sense in rushing another rescue — not when both Luke and Liliana had already found their own ways back across the planes. So we waited for morning, and true to their word, they didn’t keep us waiting long. Ha...

Dear Diary, A week has passed since I last put anything down, and the days have been a quiet grind of looking and not finding. Here’s the short version of what I managed to pry loose. I first turned my magic toward Klaus — the ghost-dragon of th...

Dear diary, After the ordeal at Sister Willow’s altar, exhaustion clung to us like a second skin. We slept late, the kind of deep, dreamless sleep that feels almost guilty. By the time we stirred, the morning was already leaning toward noon. Over ...
