Poe's Journal Entry
The script is quick, hurried, as if the writer was afraid they would forget everything they wanted to write down.The past rise and fall of the moon…so much has happened. E-Sumi-Yan had asked to speak with me. I had bothered him often when I was younger and first arrived in Gridania with my family. A request from him once something that worried me, but I couldn’t ignore it. I had wanted to talk to someone, anyone about this before I left. Fuck - where are you, Daevien? I realized how strained things have become between myself and everyone since I left to spend some time with the Padjals. I should have told the crew, but I didn’t want them to know…because what if I failed?
I packed some items, my robe gifted to me was in the satchel as well and I headed out for Gridania. I didn’t know what to expect and when I announced myself to the guild master, they quickly smiled, telling me to go the falls. I quickly hurried there but E-Sumi-Yan was no where in sight. I sat down, confused and waited. And waited….
When the sun dipped out of sight and the moon rose high in the sky, E-Sumi-Yan arrived. He commented on my frustration immediately. I tried to brush it off but he continued speaking. He acknowledged I had done well, surprisingly with training. While unconventional, I had shown some innate ability to bend the aether flow and perform acts of healing. He paused at that moment. All I could do was stare at his horns…his child-like face. What was I doing here? Seriously? I have no gifts, not like E-Sumi-Yan and the other Padjals. He scolded me then, as if he could read my very thoughts. As he spoke, I felt more confused but simply nodded. All I walked away with was that my training was truly just starting. And my strongest gift is my greatest weakness. Something to do with emotions, understanding them and being sensitive to others. He told me it was affecting my ability to work with aether, as I was draining myself. He requested I meet him again soon, he spoke of another healer with similar…â€gifts†that may be able to help. Gifts? This doesn’t seem like a gift now…
