<div>-------- Journal entry 124 (102 days since awakening) ---------</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This Abiding Book is a true item of beauty. The knowledge it possesses is incredible, even for one such as me. Yet, I find it hard to concentrate....in the back of my mind lingers business unfinished. It is clear now what I must do. Those filthy Luatha captured me and trapped me for centuries, yet the true source of my anger lies elsewhere. Soreth. Curse his name. My wretched brother. Escaping from the Luatha and leaving me behind. Curse him!! The bane of my life. Every since he burned my hands when we were boys......forcibly holding my hands in the flames.....and yet, I could never rise against him. I always followed orders. No more! I shall hunt him to the very ends of the universe to get my revenge. For the constant pain.....for turning me into 'this'.....now is the time. The Luatha have given me a vital clue. The Kingdom Of Ignorance. And yet, I know it is suicide. He has always been older, quicker, more skilled. I know I would stand more of a chance with some assistance. Perhaps I can request a bodyguard or two from the King. No, he has no interest in my quest. I shall go alone...probably never to return.</div>

<p>- "Amen!" concluded Azhur looking to Riku's back, as the strange sorceror from the past was leaving the place. "'Never judge a person on his face or on his words but only on his actions' use to say my father and so it will be with you, Riku! I don't envy your place in this world, but you deserve all the rest that the Abdining Book may offer you as much as anyone else..."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Azhur let the godlearner leave and then had a look on the parchment to check if he had to keep it safe until Riku's return or if it was just some piece of trash.</p>

<div>For the first time in his life, Riku hesitated....unsure of what to make of Azhur's continuing generosity and support....Usually Riku would have cursed and walked away....but he unexplicably felt a debt of gratitude towards the King. After a moment's hesitation, Riku continued:<br>
</div>
<div>"While I still have no affection for the rest of our 'party'," ["bumbling idiots", he murmured to himself], "I must admit to being impressed by your respect towards knowledge and wisdom. I have no love for "Gods" but I believe our mutual respect for gaining knowledge could see us continue for a while as companions."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Riku cringed as a sharp pain through his hands caused him to pause a moment. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>"If I return, I would like to continue travelling with you in the hope of finding more wonderful artifacts like The Abiding Book. Inform me of any more discoveries, if you would."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"I shall find a map seller and then be on my way." Riku turned to leave, pausing midway, "Oh yes, I assume you would not like to leave The Abiding Book in my dangerous 'hands'.....The Book is over there, just behind you, along with my belongings that I didn't think were necessary for my journey."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Riku departed quickly and with clear intent. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Open looking in the direction of The Book, Azhur could probably not help but notice some parchment laying next to it. [OOC: Which I will most certainly transcribe for anyone wishing to investigate :)]</div>

<div>Riku walks up to Azhur, "Your Highness, I wish to travel in the direction of Jankley Bore, and I shall be of service to you as long as we head in that general direction. Otherwise, I would ask your pardon to attend to some 'business'. I shall await your response". Riku turns around quickly and resumes his study of the Abiding Book</div>

<div>> Icthya begs leave of Nauticles and drags Azhur off out of<br>> earshot. "If<br>> Seshnela allies itself now against the Lunar Empire, what<br>> hope has its<br>> King of crossing the length of the Empire to reach the Blue<br>

<div>"Aye, the peace of Death!" says Jareena. "Azhur, I do not know what the others may do, but for me this quest will have no purpose if the God and Goddess of my people is slain!"<br><font color="#888888"><br>
