Journal Entry of Itheus


I have lived here for 20 years, I thought I had seen all the beauty to be offered in this wondrous forest. I awoke last night to find blue light flooding our room, Halie still asleep under cover. Deary with sleep I thought it must trickery, but going to the window I was in awe of the sight. The sky was filled with a blue light coming from a fire hanging from the sky by a whitish sting trailing at a tilt above it. I walked outside. I couldn't look away. I watched for hours as its light was over taken by the rising sun. Even as my wife awoke she could see it faintly in the daylight. During the day I am distracted, at night I try to sleep only to find myself back outside watching its streak make its way across the sky. I dismissed my wife concern's, everything with be fine when it passes. It has been 4 days and its reached the edge of the skyline above the nearby mountains. It seems to burn brighter there. I feel compelled to follow it.

Journal of Therros, 274, First entry


Aeranas is gone. I've looked everywhere, spoke to every clan. No one has seem them. Not since the comet.
It burned across the sky brightly for days, Aeri said it was beautiful when I found them that first night, staring at the sky. 
The comet ended the same night I woke in the early hours, sun just beginning to dawn when I checked their room to find them gone. 
I don't know how, but the comet took them, of that I'm sure. ‌
I weep for my siblings return today, but tomorrow I will seek answers. 
The comet has appeared once before, and the elders must know something. 

 

Journal of Therros, 330, Final Entry


In my lifetime, I have failed them. I hope Aeranas is wherever I will be going. My Children will continue without me, with a burden of centuries. My only hope is that time will not erase the knowledge of the comet. That somehow the next time is in a generation prepared.
