Poe's Journal Entry
I went up to see everyone, find out how the job went and all. Some had already left, sadly I was too late to speak with them. Joundi and Neviana were still there, Ry joining us shortly after. Chatting with them a bit, I noticed Joundi seemed to using his arm oddly, trying to tug his sleeve down. I asked to see it and he showed a branding he received from…well, you know.Ry and I started speaking with Joundi, trying to see if there was a way around this…sorcery those twelve mages did to him. Joundi kept insisting he performed too many atrocities to the forest and the residents. It got me thinking. The Padjals prize the Willow tree wood….and, if I were to fulfill my duty as a Mender, perhaps the forest would allow forgiveness to Joundi. Even if it is only enough for the Padjals to speak with him and see if they can help, it would be worth it.
Of course, I didn’t say any of this to anyone. Gods, even Ry does not know his gifted pendant is made from that very wood. I rushed back to Relan’s and spoke with him about the idea. He could tell I was excited, trying to tell me to calm down. He asked if I was ready to take on the duty’s of a Mender. I guess…I am not sure. But I also can not see Joundi continuing like this.
Lan-I-Mata would know. She is eccentric as far as Padjals go, she knows of the Menders. I might not have a tribe but that does not mean I can not fulfill the duties of one…
I will go to see her tomorrow evening. We have a lot to discuss and I need answers.
