==Visit to the Red Mountain Sept==
We ended up dumping the leech at some gas station before meeting back up with Xander and his pack who took us to their kayrne? I don’t know the word – that’s what it sounds like. The Red Mountain Kayrne, which is where I am writing this. We met their elders who told us a long tale about the Worm, some cosmic destructive force, and its fight with the forces of order and chaos. I’ll probably have to write most of that down separately. The highlights can roughly be summed up in the following sentence: I am destined to destroy the ultimate force of destruction in the universe. I’m still not sure I buy into it. They say I am fated to kill this Worm of theirs. I’ve got some pretty nasty gouges in my back from a vampire that say I’m not really ready for that.

Anyway, not long after that story Cassidy gets it into her head that she wants to sing. Lo and behold, she ends up summoning the ancient spirit that protects the place. She calls herself the Ringbearer, which isn’t very accurate anymore since she gave me the ring. Its made of the most amazing metal. Its like gold, but shinier, brighter, and generally golder than gold. She gives us another story about how she’s always been waiting for us and turns the place over to Cassidy. Apparently she’d actually been holding a different ring for the majority of the time until they got switched a few weeks ago. The other is apparently silver – I suspect it’s a lot like my claws. They were switched when the Red Mountain Sept was attacked by some sort of god-monster thing. They think it was a vampire king. They were warned by “the Morning Star” which is apparently an avatar of the red star that they’d been seeing in the sky for a while. The whole story is a little more than crazy and probably something else that I’ll have to write down separately. Long story short: this vampire king killed most of the Garou, took a stockpile of ancient magical weapons they were planning on giving to us, and generally wrecked the place before leaving.

Now they’re trying to give us all their spirit-imbued possessions to help us. Cassidy and I have learned that we may have been married – or more – in a past life. We’re all very tired and confused. The trail seems to lead to LA – that’s where the vampire king apparently took all our stuff. I can’t say for certain, but I think we’re going to go get it back.
