Elinie's Diary

[quote]Eline's Diary, Entry 1: Thoughts
Thoughts of The Silent weigh heavily upon my heart. I know it
will not be long until Sila's departure and still I cannot find
solace in her death.
I thought that once she was gone, things might be simpler and
The Silent could continue onwards, but that doesn't seem to be
the case. As she draws on loaned breath, the clamor of dissent
seems to buzzes in the background. I will visit with Caleb and
the Councillor Marus Veshiron to discuss the current state of
The Silent, and what will happen should control fall into his
hands. I have placed my faith in the future of The Silent with
Caleb - and I can only pray to Elune that my trust in him is
not misguided.
I have heard The Silent murmuring of a returned assassin, and I
can only presume it is Telemira.Her return is concerning to say
the least. I have no clue where she has been or what she has
been doing, but it could be any number of things. Only one thing
is certain about her return, though: Mouse will not pass with
any great ease. Telemira will seek to undermine her and forge
any cause that would give her reason to stand against Mouse -
if you could say she even needed a reason.
I grow weary of my own personal emotions. They drain me, and
only recently have I begun to return to normalcy in life. I am
thankful for my status as a member of the clergy, as the free
meals bring me great solace and much needed nutrition. I've
found great comfort in keeping this short diary, as it helps me
maintain a train of thought and reflect on the events of my day.
I look forward to more of these entries.

Content Warning for Sex! Do not read if you're uncomfortable
with that. It does not go into detail.
[quote]Elinie’s Diary, Entry 2: At length
Speaking with Caleb left me with more questions than I had
answers. I asked what his intentions for The Silent were since
he would soon have an invisible hand on the reigns, and received
a satisfactory answer. He wishes for a tighter control over The
Silent and urged for a better tight-knit group. When I asked
what I could do to help The Silent, he pushed me to be more
present. Be a woman of the people, and declare my advocacy for
Caleb. I’m still not sure if I will follow through with this.
While the matters of The Silent no longer plague me, Caleb and
I discussed a particularly volatile subject in great depth: Sex.
I spoke to him on his matters with Id, and that I had only heard
whisperings of his relationship - worrying ones. He told me of
his authoritative position over Id, and I found this worrying.
Working as the matron for the brothel in Silvermoon for a
time, I had often see this act used to berate and dehumanize “my
girls”. It was mortifying for them - It was a necessity that
they do this, as they had no other way of providing for
themselves. To see a man who willingly pushes his dominance over
his partner is…. despicable. It revolts my stomach against my
body, and wails eternally inside my head. Why would he do this
to someone he loved?
I understand that this is a relative subject, and that it
differs from my own views, but I still wrack my brain about this
subject. Often, I find myself disgusted even with the thought of
any perverse contact after seeing how it affected those who
partake. Even worse, I fear for Id. Caleb is an intimidating
man, and one who seeks to crush his resistance under-heel. It is
possible that Id is afraid to speak on this matter, though I
cannot fathom why. It is certain that he and Caleb have… a
special relationship, but the health of it is another matter.
The entire debacle with Caleb has made me think greatly on my
time in Silvermoon. Working for a brothel is not easy work, and
in time I was soon seen as a mother for the women who partook -
Although I did not partake, myself. They looked to me for
guidance, and I looked on them with compassion. I loved them.
One in particular - Telamira.
Telamira was not a woman of the chamber. She was a particular
customer, and payed for time with me - knowing I did not offer
those services. Often we would discuss the old matters of our
people late into the night, enjoying a cup of tea or a glass of
wine. It didn’t take long for us to fall in love. Still, I wish
things today were better. I miss her dearly as a friend, even if
she would not have it that way. Who instilled the idea that a
professional killer cannot have friends? I find the notion
silly.

[quote]Elinie’s Diary, Entry 3: Brevity
I spoke with Id. He was brief, like always. Catching him in his
departure from the graveyard - the tomb of Arthas - I asked him
of his relationship with Caleb, and received a grunt in
response. I asked him of his relationship with Arthas, and he
grew hostile. “Why does it matter? Arthas is long-gone, elf.”
was his response - but he knew what I was speaking of. After I
continued to prod him, he caved.
“Arthas is my Lord.” he said simply. I was not satisfied with
this answer. There had to be more to it. I asked him, “If your
Lord is so cruel - Why do you continue to serve him?” He was
silent for some time afterward.
“Because it is my purpose,” he finally croaked. He had taken a
spot on a nearby stone bench, and the air grew heavy with his
typical cold chill. “Your purpose?” I asked. He cleared his
throat, and fumbled around with his gauntlet for a moment. “My
purpose is to serve.”
“Why do you serve anyone, Id? You are a powerful man. Caleb is
crass and cold to you - The way he treats you sickens me.” I
could see his jaw tense from across the walkway. I was getting
him where I wanted.
“Why do you serve Elune? Because she gives you a purpose.” the
man snapped. He grabbed his axe and departed, and again I was
left with more questions than answers.
Caleb gives this man purpose? Just what is Caleb’s end-goal?
This brings me great unease. This man so easily sympathizes with
the man who perpetrated genocide of my people, and rests at the
command of The Silent. And yet, I find myself drawn to follow
him. The man commands with the air of a true leader. I will
continue to follow him, but not without some great hesitance. I
understand that we all have our own goals, but Caleb’s is an
enigma. He claims it to be the betterment of The Silent, but
what about afterwards? Does he intend to lead The Silent as his
own personal task force? Militia? I cannot say for sure, and
that brings me great unease. Even more distressing, what are
Id’s intentions? Even Caleb has not been able to place a flag on
what his potential motives may be.
The primary difference is that Caleb remains vocal in what he
wants. He is unafraid to stand up for what he believes in and
willingly takes charge. Id stands in his shadows, blade ready to
slay whoever defies the word of Caleb. It’s impossible that Id
no longer has any free will. I cannot imagine anyone shackled to
the Lich King would willingly subvert their free will a second
time. The only thing that can be certain about Id is that he
must be watched. He is a danger to not only others, but himself.
He can be likened to a shaken bottle of beer. Volatile, and
likely to explode once uncapped. This is frightening, and I fear
to think about what he hides beneath his frosty visage.

Heavy content warning for suicide death and general depression
for this one, folks.
[quote]Elinie’s Diary, Entry 4: Passing
Sila is dead. She passed in my arms. I watched as the life faded
from her eyes while gripping her tightly. I struggle to forget
the image, her soft blank stare and eventually collapsing to the
ground. She didn’t break eye contact once. I wish I had more
time to speak with her. I wish I had more time to reconcile. I
wish I could figure out how to feel. Naught but a few weeks ago,
I would have been thankful for her passing - but watching it
with my own eyes has changed my perspective. I often find it
hard not to cry, but I could not hold back my sobs. I was in
good company. She was in good company. I long to pass as she
did, surrounded by those who love and respect her. Even Caleb
remarked that a friend had passed today. Elune, I was so foolish
to ever hold a grudge against her.
Walking through the Cathedral district after Sila’s passing, I
saw guards rushing towards the lake. Curiosity drove me to see
what the commotion was about. They had found a corpse washed up
from the lake, and my heart dropped from my chest. It was
Telamira. Once again, I could not hold back my tears. As the
guards took her corpse away, I left for the catacombs. I longed
for the lone company and the sound of the torch’s flickering.
Elune help me. I lost two both of them. I lost the only two who
have ever shown unbridled compassion, kindness, and love towards
me. Oh Elune, I’ve been so foolish. Telamira has always been a
close friend to me, and seeing her in such a condition drove me
to despair. As I let my tears flow freely, I noticed something
tied around the torch of the catacombs. A letter. I opened it,
and read through teary-eyes.
‘Silent,
Sila’s passing weighs heavily on my heart. My own actions weigh
heavily on my heart. I’ve heard you all whispering of a private
ceremony. I will attend, despite your protests. I know the
smelly man with the bear will attempt to shoot me and - in
truth, I do not care. I do not intend on staying around much
longer after the ceremony. Hopefully, you will never encounter
me again. I know you won’t. I pray Sila’s death will be quick
and painless, like mine. I know none of you will ever believe my
words, but I am sorry. I have committed monstrous acts in the
name of jealousy and rage. I have committed monstrous acts in
the name of a twisted justice. I am a monster. I am a blade, and
that blade is bloodied with foul play. I will no longer bear my
curse upon these lands.
I am sorry,
Telamira Felshade’
Oh Elune I have been so foolish. I spurned not only Telamira,
but also Sila. Telamira, if anyone is the monster, it is me. Oh
Elune…. I miss them. I miss them so much. [/quote]
