Kira's Journals

Journal,

That's it, I've had it. I have been deceived too many times to just sit back anymore. From now on, I trust no one, save those who have been at my back since the beginning. I am going to begin to focus my skills on protecting myself and my companions from those who would seek to do us harm. Treasure hunting is in my past. My future will be only protection, strength, and wariness of everyone and everything. By any means necessary, I will not be deceived again.

I am writing to Fellidra Jer to tell her about Hound's returning to torment us and that we fully intend to infiltrate the protectorate. I have decided that I will train with Thrak to learn more of what he knows about the art of combat, since I would trust no one else to teach me. I will strengthen my sword arm and sharpen my mind so that I may never be taken in again.

This is to be my final entry. I am donating it to the Great Library when we reach Throal. I would even trust to leave this lying around lest someone read it and get into my head. Should anyone read this in the library, may I offer a bit of advice; do not be blind to the scheming and trickery of others. Trust is over-rated, and mercy is for the naïve. If you ever meet me out in the world, you would be wise to leave me be. We'll leave it at that. I may learn to trust people again, but I doubt that will happen before I get my hands on the protectorate.
