Another dream about the girl. It was not my hand that killed her, but it may as well have been. What other choice did we have? She was suffering so. And we could not risk bringing her back to Sactuary where the lizards' disease might spread. Not that bringing her back would have done her any good. Not even Ilmater's power through my hands helped her. Was my faith not strong enough? I pray she sits at your side now my lord.

I also pray the noble man we rescued does as well. I hope you saw that was my intent. It was his wish. I do not know what dark secret he held, but it is now locked away forever, as he wanted. Michael and Nikka seem to have forgiven me, and for this I am grateful. Councilman Gaesric was also very understanding. Under his gruff exterior he is a very wise man. Perhaps I should have cast my vote for him?

Michael knows the secret. How did he learn it? Did he seek it on his own? Or was it thrust upon him? Please let it be the latter. If not, that means he did not trust my judgement to let the knowledge die with man who carried it before. Mylin has asked me not to quetion Michael about it, for it is his burden to bear now. But she did mention Ambrose. I will have to speak to him when I can.
