OBSERVATIONS & EXCERPTS from the JOURNAL of SECOND ASSISTANT ARCHIVIST ORIANNA ÈIRIGH of ASHKHA
I am still adjusting to the years I have lost. Any time I see myself in reflections I perceive it to be someone else. It always takes a moment for my mental image of myself and how I now am to align. Gerhard has been incredibly sweet — For each year we lost we spent a day together, celebrating the birthdays taken from me by the Plane of Time. I did not think it could be possible, but he makes me fall in love with him more and more every day. I am so fortunate and always thank the blessed stars and Cosmos that we have each other…
Matches came over yesterday to ask for my help. Vulcanax had paid him a visit, wanting my cousin to gather some of the family and friends to go to Arcadia. Once there, we would awaken Eroshia. My first thought for who to ask when going to a Plane of animals and forests were both Frigus (with Waffles) and Florian. I am sure Henri or Calla would have enjoyed coming too, but both had prior commitments they could not spare the time away from. Turns out, Matches found the perfect fifth person: a kindly firbolg by the name of Longwalker.
With the feeling of a storm in the warmer than usual winter air, we met Vulcanax at the Three Headed Dragon and departed for the positive, upper plane…
Abellio is a plan of plenty, with abundant forests, lakes, open fields, and a harmonious ecosystem filled with beasts we could find even on the Prime Material. It was my first time seeing trees so organised! I would say it is not natural but of course, it is a reflection of the governing forces of the Realm itself that allow these trees to grow in straight orchards. They also might have looked like deciduous trees, but their bark was of iron, copper, silver, gold, nearly any kind of metal! I familiarised myself with them all as much as I could so as to be able to recall to them if I ever needed to…
It was Florian who noticed the first circle. Patches of the land where there was no colour. He recognised them from the time when Meldrosa had been slumbering and she got attacked by void elementals.
It seemed we were not going to have an easy time of it…
Matches and Vulcanax really are cut from the same cloth.
Vulcanax’s anger at Malignus for attacking Eroshia was frightening. Bolstered, probably, by having his own Herald there, he boosted Matches’ power temporarily which resulted in Matches transforming into… what he may, eventually, one day look like — if he takes the Vows of a Herald.
Despite the tough fasçad that he likes to project, there is, underneath it all, the most tender and concerned heart. Vulcanax could have chased Malignus through the portal they had made to their Quasi-Elemental Plane of Vacuum. But doing so would mean leaving Matches behind. But he decided to stay, and instead closed the portal making it safe for us to wake Eroshia…
