	I'm not sure if Asheth is able to understand this yet. I doubt I have the words to tell him - I barely understand it myself. But there's more to it than that - he's drowning in his own pain, not sure yet whether he wants to fight his way up to the surface and scream for rescue or surrender to the numbing black. I think he's strong enough to choose the harder path... I hope he's brave enough to do so. But whatever he chooses, my path is to be beside him at the end. And offer whatever sanctuary I can.

	Regardless of the cause, I'll respect his wishes, or at least what I expect his wishes to be. He behaves with perfect courtesy towards me, and I can do no less than return the favor. If there is to be nothing more between us than respect and kind words and simple cooperation when it's needed, then so be it. I shan't risk ill-feeling or malice by trying to force a deeper bond where none was ever intended to exist. And if greater camaraderie or friendship is destined between us - well, let it grow in its own time, and in a soil free of deception's poison. It will be the stronger for it.

	I've not spoken to him of this. I'm not sure I ever shall. It's hardly the sort of thing I'd expect him to listen to, and it's not like I have an answer in any case. The heroes we remember found some way to impose their dreams upon the very world, to make everyone share their belief in what was good and right - what use is naming the destination if one can't even begin to guess the path to get there? Besides, if he is to succeed in his self-appointed quest, Caleb must do so in the end on his own - without relying on me, or anyone else. I am at least in place to watch, and possibly for a short while longer move to catch him should he fail too soon.		I've not spoken to him of this. I'm not sure I ever shall.

	There are times when I wonder whether I should feel envy, awe, concern or pity for him. He has what so few have - a dream of something greater, a vision to change things for the better, the drive to reshape the world itself. It's a devotion that's rare, and precious, and valuable. And yet it's never enough, not on its own. There's always a need for something more to give it force, and substance and the resilience to last. The centuries are littered with the broken dreams of would-be heroes who failed to understand this, and acted too soon. And Caleb, to his credit, understands this. But I wonder if he also understands how easily a hero's dream can be stolen. Changed and corrupted by the wicked, or the ignorant, or the simple turnings of fate, and made into a hollow mockery of itself and an indictment of everything he ever fought for.

	He's young. Headstrong and soulscarred, possibly his own worst enemy. I hope I can teach him, by example at least, what it means to live in the world - to want to create and nurture, rather than just excise and destroy, to be a person with his own hopes and dreams rather than just another mannequin agent of the wrath of the gods. Death is impersonal; anyone can kill, and the departed soul is gathered to my Queen not much caring who sent it on its way. To make a real difference, to do something no one else can, to change the world in a way that it matters who you were... you have to be somebody. You have to create something, shape memories that will last. It's not just enough to cut a hole in whatever piece of existence displeases you, and hope that something benign fills the void you left behind. You have to place yourself into it, in whatever way you can. You have to live.		He's young. Headstrong and soulscarred, possibly his own worst enemy.

			Riyah's never been an adventurer or hero, in any of her lives. Her soul was always more suited for quiet study and contemplation, providing answers to others and uncovering small mysteries of the universe. And in the small library-monastery community of Oktari's Vale, she thought she'd be able to spend all of her current incarnation doing exactly that. The servants of Orcus had other ideas, though. One fine winter evening they assaulted Oktari's Vale with a small army of undead and lesser demons, and nothing could stand in their way - that is, until a piece of the Raven Queen whispered within Riyah's soul, offering her the power to destroy her enemies. She accepted, and it wasn't until the moon rose over the empty battlefield that Riyah felt the unmovable presence of her new patron within her and realized exactly what she'd gotten herself into.
