Character Diary Entry (Lucien, Dorm Master) (Patreon)

Lucien's Journal #1 (Written during the time (Y/N) is in The Trident.)

"I have crossed out more than half of the activities I wanted to do, yet I still refuse to be at peace with the knowledge that I will soon return to my years-long slumber.

How can anyone be at peace by that? Especially when you’ve come to realize how it is being manipulated.

This weird concoction that Damian urges me to drink has something to do with the cycles. I may not have any proof of it, but I am still damn sure. And that is why I sent Torvin a letter a month ago, detailing these problems.

I have read books—books that were found in the deepest corners of the school library. I have read stories of people like me—real stories! I shouldn’t be asleep for more than a year—six-eight months—yes, that is how short it should be—not two years, most certainly not five years! It starts during winter when people like me return to their crypt-like rooms while people who worship us feed the fires around us to keep it burning so we'll be warm because we are used to the harsh deserts of South Sourenth, where people like me travel from town to town helping the people.

This is not my home. Norlyria will never be my home.

I have been taken away.

Torvin knows everything. He remembers everything. If he’s not senile by now.

I wish to see that man again. Oh, how lovely it would be.

I believe that my time will not get any longer now unless he/she has the thing I need—unless Torvin actually makes something that could counter this drug.

I could only hope for (y/n)’s fast and safe return to Norlyria."
