Ponderings of a Lieutenant General

Dellisa's picture

 A very old, battered and what was once a little black book, but now mostly faded back to a pale, tamer sort of gray book were found on a desk in a hidden location somewhere in Undercity, its contents exposed, pages filled with neat, formal handwriting torn out in places or blotted out, with one freshly inked entry. 

Dear Diary. There was a slient pause, as the next words filled a few lines after the title

 

It's been a while. There has been so many things happening, since the last entry, that I have had not managed to fill the pages with, and it would be far too much to fill the pages, and not only that, there are things I'd rather forget.

First of all, let's start with the convocate murders. In the event of possible dangers, I, Lieutentant General Dellissa Sunfire state that here, I do not know what has transpired, but the body of a Lord Elexandre Solisbane has not been found. I wonder what was done with it, and where has it gone, as the man was once an old friend of mine, but had lost touch with shortly before his apparent death. I wish to find out, so I can give my old friend a respectable send off.

And then there is that convocate, found dead in his office apparently.... I once have seen him, perhaps spoken to briefly. I find this all fishy... that the convocates I've once known are being picked off, one by one. I have approached this..... figure, a Arbitor Hamlen Prideux, hoping perhaps the convocates may have gotten some new information, or at least, got their act together after this second murder. Sadly, the slient, creepy... man, for I am not sure if he is a man or a... creation, since I am getting a very unsual sense of feeling off him, had no further information in the matter which is vastly disappointing because I feel, Silvermoon's citizens should be able to feel safe, and be informed of any new details in these deaths instead of the increase of ... foolish arrests and no proper investigations into things.

I feel, the likes of Prideux should not be just patrolling the streets, arresting people for something that they have not done, or is a fairly common occurance, wasting their resources and everyone's time, bending and making outlandish new laws, that they should investigate things properly. Right down to the wire.

Here, the writer pauses, to recollect herself after displaying such annoyance over the lack of better management of politics and the safety of Silvermoon's citizens

 

I reckon.... that the likes of these... convocates will not last long, if they were to be enlisted into the miliatry. Because the military will not stand for this nonsense! Especially not since Loreadon.

However, for all my military and politics background, I have decided to accept my long forgotten, much ignored noblity, as a Sunfire, and look into matters of restablishing my home and my house, perhaps rebuild my childhood home out in Tirisfal Glades. This will not be an easy challenge for me, as I am the last of the Sunfires, that if my cousin is indeed well and truly dead and gone, and my home diminished to a pile of rubbles and broken walls, windows... filled with forsaken and the mindless corpses that walk and reside in it. I have also approached, and spoken to the Lord of the minor noble house, the house Darkwood, and he is in the same, if not similar dilemma as myself, having to start from stratch, but he has the support of his cousins, when I have none.

I have been thinking quite a bit lately about political marriages, since my former lover decided to choose for that, to approach his sister by words, Avaraelia, for her hand in marriage, leaving me in quite a difficult place.... That I had turned to the things I once detested, drugs and alcohol. I have since then thankfully, after that short time of spiralling into an addiction, made progress of recovery, for which I must credit Lord Darkwood for some of the progress I made, and to my friends that I have made in the short time I have met them, especially within the house Volanthius, the house which I currently serve for, as I try to get back onto my feet.

I must complete this entry however, before this book is discovered, especially by Prideux, if I have heard the rumors correctly, he would immediately arrest me for having a honsent, personal opinion of him.

 

Until then,

 

Lieutenant General Dellissa Sunfire.
