20 Keiari, 951
I woke to Caliese on my desk. No way for her to get in. I thought it was the dream, still, but there was a knock at the door. Sumiya came in and said I was in her dream, and that it is a sign. She asked if I was lost. I admitted, sure. Yeah. I have no idea who I am and where I'm going, sometimes. She said that something's coming that will help my find my purpose but it will come with difficult times.
I asked her about the Crow before she went, and she said could be an omen but not related to this. I decided to journal my dream for a while.
((Sumiya and Ras discussed Sumiya's dream and learned about a bit of her history))
We pulled into dock at Ga'liiri, and apparently Ras's old mentor is here. A noble whose family name I've heard in passing, before. Don't know them or their family at all personally. She dragged me to a tight alley that looks pretty shifty. A girl answered and accused us of being drunk, but when the master showed up they told Raz she shouldn't be there and to meet tonight instead. They did it in the shiftiest way possible. Unable to contain my curiosity, I leapt atop the roof to spy on them.
It was someone, wearing a worn Imperial uniform, that was upset about a ritual not being done. He saw me, asked who I was, and I in a panic said I was the ritual police. That's a terrible lie but I keep falling back to it. He looked familiar, but I don't know if I've ever seen him before. Probably just one of those faces.
It was not one of those faces. Ras confirmed it was their old captain, Aelrik. Oh boy.
