As I write this I see the other adventures on Frostica with my Mirror. I
wish I could be there to see them wipe the smirk off of Max Coldsteel's
face. But in my own way I am ahead of them, at least in one manner.

Maybe it was ye girlfriends little "candies" that made me think of this.
If that's the price of paying a "vision quest" though, I don't want to
go through it. I'd hate to experience what those who follow the
Gaudiguch Guardian rituals would experience. While I might be crazy and
I hope to all the Elder Gods I am wrong, I doubt I am.

I think I know who ye are. It's quite obvious when ye follow the hints.

Ye once had a nice talk with me, but ye said I was too short to be
related to me, but I thought ye might be a distant relation with us
speaking the "true" accent, and both of us being the working class. This
was decades ago.

Ye apprenticed under the one who once tapped into a Seal.

Ye smell of not just dirt but licorice, and ye made dwarven cookies.

Ye have a power that can't be denied, nothing that any of us mortal
boyos, even the Vernal Ascendants, can hope to achieve. Only Soll ever
got to something that would outrank ye.

Ye are familar with communes and nexii.

Ye lived among us for years.

And it was ye Girlfriend's last name that cinched it for me.

I am not going to say ye name "Gnodfather". The Basin will figure it
out. And I doubt I could do anything, ye proved that over this year. The
adventurers, the Ascendants and Demigods, all of them, will hopefully be
able to somehow stop ye. The clues are there.

I just want to know...why?????? I saw ye as somebody who was to the
Elders in the same role as I try to serve in the Basin of Life. What
would possess ye to make this move. And ye know the dangers of the
Seals. Why?

I still hope this is a dream or a leftover hallucination. I really want
to believe that. Maybe I am wrong. I hope I am wrong.
