More and more, I find myself asking "Why am I here?" Why have I followed this group of warriors to the frozen north, far from anything I once called home, where nothing faces me but unending battles with bizarre creatures? My son, Anthony, said that they would need me, and his prognostications have always been correct. And yet, he also called the man named Hobart to this place, and that led to him joining with the devils. And his strange pact with Duomar... can it be that I've placed too much faith in Anthony?
Now I listen as they argue over the fate of this strange egg, this "tear of Pelor." And all I can think of is the fear and pain I felt in Vallera as we exorcised the devil from her. Don't they understand that this same fate has befallen all of the Yssge, and the devils mean it for everyone one in the world? Even Aase is ingnoring the plight of his own people in favor of this spirit wolf. Is this why I am here? Beyond the anger that has been my constant companion for years, I find myself feeling compassion for these Yssge, even though they are not my own people. Am I the one who must speak for them?
