I feel somewhat naked without Galerus near me. Well, perhaps I should backtrack a bit.
Two days ago I found a note from Jade on the outside door of my room. I still do not want to know how in all gods' hells she found out where I live. Anyway, the note said that I needed to take Galerus to this tribe to have it blessed. And that I would be given no maps and would have to use my own intuition. I hope I didn't disobey...I did bring an old map from when Gaia was a young world, and it's quite inaccurate...but it did help me find where to go. It and Galerus.
I'd woken up around sunset yesterday, and performed a spell of Finding so that I could locate the tribe on the map. Galerus' feather ended up being my pointer. I summoned Gemwing then, and headed in the direction the map had indicated.
Earlier today, a couple hours before midday, I came upon the mighty river and was found by a member of the tribe. He brought me here, to this large limestone cave system, carved by an offshoot of the very river I'd seen, and showed me to a private cavern where I am to stay for now.
The tribe is not unkind, but they took Galerus somewhere else and show no intention of bringing my hat back quite yet. For now, I have food, water, and a bedroll, should I choose to nap. I'm too worried about Galerus to sleep, but I have made Gemwing comfortable there, she is still quite tired from flying slowly and holding a conjured fireball in existence all night long. I write in this journal to keep myself occupied, but I do not wish to write forever and ramble.
I kinda wish that I'd been a tad more clear when I told Nikki I had to go and why. I hope nobody's too worried about me. I also hope that Nisso gets better. Last I knew, she was still recovering in the infirmary. I mean, I may not like the little prig much, but I don't want to see her die of stupidity.
All the rambling in here is probably worry for Galerus. Even though it's just a hat, I still am worried. I know that these worries are misplaced, but I don't want to think about what else I should be worried about.
Bah. I shall end this entry now, else I shall surely be giving in to mere paranoia. Again. Now is the time to lie back, stare at the stalactites, and wait for Galerus to be returned.
