Some things progress and some things stay the same.
Sabrae came to see me. Seems the half breed went fishing to try and find out what I was up to. *laughs* Poor Moiraine. Did you think Sabrae would fall for your lies and deceit again? No Sabrae knows better than that. She told you some of her future plans and if you cared to listen properly, then you will know why she is with me now. Sabrae knows I can deliver what you cannot. She knows she has a House to go back to?.she knows she has a true family?.she knows she has a name?.and it is not Von?Sah! She also knows something else neither Moiraine nor Kalannar can do, and that is to return freely to the Underdark. Yes Sabrae wants to go home, and she will. Because I can make it so!
I had my second meeting with the mysterious Lady. As yes. This one needs to be treated carefully. Knowing her background, related by LL, and from what she told me herself, I can fully appreciate why she fears me. I had hoped she could help me trace the Drow who built Lloth?s Temple on this surface land. But the House she gave me, from what they did to her, clearly it was not them. The Jhaeldrin are not the answer I seek?just another bunch of outcasts, renegades and thugs it would seem. A House that claimed the Drow gods had no power on the surface. *laughs* How wrong they were. Where are they now? Gone?.they cease to exist. Why? Who knows the real reason but my assessment would be that they died on the rack of inertia. Aimless and ambitionless that is why they are gone. That would seem to be the truth of it. The Lady did give me a name. I passed it on to my mother. If this one is still alive, he will pay dearly for his crimes. I owe the Lady that much if she helps me.
So I outlined how she could help me and asked her if she would. She said she would consider it once she has seen the documents I possess. That is fair. This I will do and leave it for her to make the decision. I cannot and will not force my will on this Lady. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, she has to do it freely otherwise the impact is diluted. Secondly, I sense the bond between her and LL is extremely strong. To repay LL?s loyalty, this Lady will not be harmed by me or any of my followers. I sense she can aid me in other areas in anycase. One word from LL or the Lady and I will bring her under my protection.
We parted on good terms and although she appeared to have come to this meeting alone, I sensed she was being watched. She hinted at that during our conversation. Your are a smart Lady?I am not offended...I compliment you on your caution. I said we would meet again soon and as she left, she gave me a name of someone else who might help me trace the past. This one I have met once or twice before.
*rubs temple absently* Ah the darkness descends on me. *rubs fingers across my eyes* I need rest. *sighs* Here I go again. The battle of wills with my tormentor begins anew. If I do not rest, it cannot touch me, but I need my rest???
I watch, I assess, I report.
