A vision led me to this place. The Maiden showed me a strange landscape, and my sisters were alone there. Something about the dream told me I had to go to them. I was worried about leaving the temple, but obviously Eilistraee has a plan for us. The door was left open, and most have followed. I've had news of Mith and Reilen. I've seen Anaroluth and Earaldor. A few I've not seen yet, but I remain hopeful. I'm worried for my student but something tells me I will see her again soon.
My biggest regret is Ilmryll. I have not seen her in weeks, I don't know if she knows all that has gone on recently. I left her a letter, I hope she follows, but she's not one of the faithful. It will be harder for her to pick up and leave Toril on word of a vision from our Lady. I hope she comes to me, but I won't blame her if she doesn't. I hope she knows how sorry I am, and how much I love her.
A New Path, the Maiden's Vision

I don't think she's coming through. I don't blame her, she has family on Toril, friends, and responsibility to her people. How can I blame her? I will never forget Ilmryll, and probably always hold out hope that I will see her again. I love her, always will.
This place though, it's strange, and wonderful at the same time. So many sights, some would be frightening I imagine, if the Maiden's protection did not go with me. We've met some interesting people, and already found ourselves thrust into some difficult situations. I must find out more about the Unseelie and Seelie war. Is there a side we should support? Remaining neutral would be best but our last encounter with them showed that it's not always possible.
The challenges here will be great, but my family is here. We've seen nearly all of them. Whatever the Maiden has planned for us, at least we are together to figure it out. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of a longer journey though. Who knows where She will guide us?

It was nice to talk to Felynace again. We haven't spoken in depth in quite some time. She misses home, and those we left behind. We have that in common at least. I did what I could to comfort her, I wonder is she knew she was helping me too. Somehow, helping her deal with her grief made me feel better. It was a nice moment we shared, just sitting close and talking. In the end she entered reverie with her head in my lap while I sat with her so she would not be disturbed.
Later I visited Ariyana and Eilysia in their suite at the inn. Something was wrong, Ariyana nearly attacked me, forcing a belt on me that sapped my strength. She had done something to Eilysia as well. It seemed that something was causing her to swing from the Ariyana we knew, to one we saw in our shared visions of her past life. I don't yet know what is causing it or how to get rid of it, but I won't rest until my sister is free of whatever this curse is.

Ah reader, this place is so strange. Things happen so fast, or maybe time moves differently here. I don't know. Ariyana is well again, Felynace is still sad, and I'm confused.
This is part of a relationship I've not yet been through...ending one. How long has it been? How many tendays? I don't know, but I've come to accept the fact that she's not coming. I don't blame Ilmryll, she had so many more ties to her home. Her people, responsibility to Myth Drannor, all of that that I did not have. My family is here, and Myth Drannor showed their true faces to us. I said 'goodbye' last night. It wasn't easy, but Eilysia was there for me.
Now what? All of this is so new to me, so strange. Do I seek another? I have more time here, but how do I avoid the feeling of guilt? Is that normal? I should talk to Ariyana and Eilysia, they might have some advice about all of this.

I've moved on, or at least given myself to feelings I have no reason to quell anymore. We both miss those we have left behind, but our paths have split from them. Ilmryll did not come through, nor did Earalia. We don't know how long we will be here, or where our paths will go from this point.
I will be patient with Felynace, and she with me. There are things I still do not know, and things she cannot experience yet. Her ways are different, she's not used to lovers being equals, but she will learn. She was gentle with me, and kind, and very good...
Who knows where this will lead? The day in Eilysium was nice. I hope for more like it ahead.

I feel it, I remember saying it, was it too soon? Will it scare her away? It seems as if I'm the experienced one when it comes to the emotional part of love, but I am still so new to this. I've only known this kind of love a couple of years in my one hundred twenty.
I hope I didn't scare her. Sometimes I wish I didn't always say how I feel so suddenly. Maybe I should have waited, waited to see how she felt.
Blessed Maiden this place, I hope She puts us back on the path soon. I want to walk under the trees with my family and my love, doing the Maiden's work, and helping those that need it. I want to help Felynace, but I don't know if I'll ever regain the power to do so here.
