Treble came in after a short while. It seems he earned an accolade of knighthood from one of the new lords of the city. I tried to draw information about the lords from him, but he’s a very quiet and secretive man. Before I could get far, Kywyn also came in. The three of us spoke for a short while, and the subject of our combat forms came up. I’ve seen Kywyn’s before; on the day Arnor returned and I met Kywyn and Raen for the first time--on the 35^th.

The three of us went into the stables. Kywyn demonstrated again those movements that are like a ritual dance and a something indescribable that hold so much power. His fist glowed blue when he reached the climax of his dance. I believe he referred to it as something “extra,” saying that it was part of his natural talent. It has occurred to me that he may be channeling negative energy, but I’m not sure. I may discuss it with him at a later date. I showed him my style with my sword--he, like Aria, was impressed with what he considered to be great muscle. They should see Master Shantus swing a blade to behold real power in that regard. Treble then demonstrated his skill with a bow--he fired a shaft across the stables into a single knot in a post.

I then took my leave of them to go for a walk about the city and went to the park at the Temple. I sat without it and contemplated again--mostly I wondered how the others on the expedition were doing. There I passed the day and started back for the inn after nightfall.

On my way through the market square, something strange occurred. The whole place was filled with fog, and people were shouting. My sense for wicked things revealed a number of dark creatures in the square--including one that smote my senses with its potency. I worked my way toward the voices, finding two people: Hermy, and the Captain--I suppose he didn’t recognize me; it’s been some time since we met, and even then I failed to catch his name--which is Daron Halder. Another was out there, who insisted on fleeing to try to buy us time to escape--I hope he reached safety. I wouldn’t have been able to find him in the fog, which I rue. Daron, Hermy, and I came into the inn. They called the creatures wraiths and shadows, so they would fear the light, and they haven’t followed us in. Although, looking over my earlier entries, it seems that a shadow did enter the inn, but I’m still unsure.

It’s late now. I should get some sleep.
