1st Cycle
2nd Cycle
As the full moon nears, I find myself growing restless and angry. I’m not sure if the anticipation or the curse have taken hold, keeping me on edge. I snapped at Mugragh for eating food off my plate even though I was done. He’s done it plenty before, but why now? My dreams are growing more intense but at the same time there’s this malaise that prevents me from recalling them.
I’ve waited this long to see if I’m afflicted for sure, and yet I still have misgivings. I’ve made my peace with whatever will occur. Dredu mentioned some adjustment time was usually needed, and that the first time was the worst, even for those who were prepared. I’ve told everyone I’ll be doing some meditative study overnight, and not to worry until the morning. I’m setting up on our ship in the harbor, and have given our crew the night off on the town.
Seeing Dredu calm and collected means this affliction is not the end of rationality, I’m sure of it. Ronwé has researched a little bit about this curse, and they indicated I have until the next full moon before the it takes hold. Thus, the waiting game begins. I haven’t been able to look Ed in the eye since we left the sewer. I am afraid he knows, somehow. His god has rat-detection or some form of curse detection. And I’m afraid he hates me for it. I don’t want to fight him at all… if i lost, i would die; if i won, there wouldn’t be anything in me considered life anyway.
