Day One
Ides of the Flamecaller
The past two days have been hell. My clan has been separated. One of our most powerful fighters has turned into a monster. Histamine and Xiphon are dead.
Four days ago, Albion went out to make a pilgramige to the Wyrmwound. Everything was normal until her return. Emrys, one of her former mates and the other spiral in the clan, was the first one to see what she had become from the watch point on the rotting tower. We still don't know if the Plaguebringer had a hand in saving Emrys when his attempt to help Albion... backfired. Even now, I think Nebulae is still attending to him.
Some of our hatchings, Rosie, Skyheart, and the new Skydancer went out to help Emrys. Luckily Aisling, our Matriarch, rescued all four before they could be destroyed.
Yesterday, I went out with Histamine and Xiphon to see if we could calm Albion down. We didn't have the chance. As soon as she saw Histamine, she lunged for her neck, but Xiphon pushed his mate out of the way, and before I could do anything, the spiral had torn out his throat. Histamine went mad with grief, only holding onto her sanity long enough to tell me to run, before attacking the creature herself.
I ran back to the tower, and was confronted by Brayan, the Patriarch. Histamine was one of his two charges, and he was furious with us for leaving, and with me for letting her die. All I can remember is Lylia, his other charge and the true leader of our clan, trying to get him to see reason as Aur and Aurelia tried to hold him back. The rest is a blur, and the next thing I remember is looking up to the sky, my head hurting as if I had hit a tree.
I heard Albion's distant growls and quickly left, with no clue as to where I was going. Eventually, I reached where the Scarred Wasteland touches the sea, and found a cave along the coast, which is where I'm at now.
The only thing here is this little egg I found in an abandoned nest here, strange to my eyes. If my memory is right, it's purple glow means that it's a Shadow egg. In a way, it's presence has been comforting, for I have had no young of my own-
The rest of the page is fluid stain, the ink of the words too faint to decipher.
