Took me some time to figure out a continuation method, but I think I have something now :)
‾ Iovis, September 26th, Year 1355 of the Human Calendar
Judging by the latest communication from Ixontros, sent by raven carrier, he is not happy about this outcome whatsoever. I gave him my word that I would not harm the next messenger, so long as they followed the same example. The message itself consisted mostly of apologies for the actions of their now dead member, but also a demand for the return of his corpse. I was more than willing to oblige, I also decided to inform him Kurai had confiscated that infernal weapon; my wounds still hadn't fully healed. I find it remarkable just how civil he is being, considering he is my enemy now.
On a different note, the Dreamstrider has begun to up his game as of late, perhaps it has something to do with this Dreamsealing spell I found. The book said it would just prevent dreams, but it failed to clarify that by 'prevent' it actually means 'freeze them in place so they can spend the entirety of your sleep staring at you like a creepy leper'. It didn't take long for him to counter my feeble attempt, just three nights, but the delay had given me some hope. Still, I can't really complain; those nights were the best sleep I've had in a while.
He has increased his efforts in the form of Nightmares, a lot of them! Every night he covers my mind in darkness, from that darkness comes the most horrible and grotesque visions. He has dug up old memories and thoughts I had buried half a century ago. He even found my memories about a certain incident I had an involvement with back in the year 1273, the Crimson Night. That Nightmare had a particular effect on my mind; I imagine he will force me to re-live it again if he deems it suitable.
The lengths this human is willing to go in order to break me are astounding, what purpose could he have to be doing this to me? My suspicions need to be put to rest and in order to do that I needed to speak with Ixontros, tomorrow morning I will begin my journey to Athelon.
