My name is Grace Rainsmith, I am a child of Zafaria, trained to be a powerful sorceress of Storm. This picture above is not of me, but of my cousin, a Necromancer-in-training by the name of Sabrina Starsong. I questioned her about creating a surname moniker that clashed with her skill in undeath, but she told me that she wanted to dispel some of the bad juju surrounding Death Magic. I applaud her determination but realistically know that working with the undead does not make you popular.
She has a boyfriend called Chris who has been collecting something called "animus" from the undead and using it to create clones that inhabit his house. He's been asking me to craft something called a Monstrodome, but I am having issues finding enough brass. Being a member of the Balance school, he yearns for all sorts of challenges.
I traveled with a Conjurer, my best friend Sierra Fairyfriend, for many years, exploring and saving the realms of the Spiral from Wizard City to Avalon, Rra Ambrose's homeland.
Recently, she had paid a visit to Edward Halley, a scientist who was studying information about some race known as the Aztecosaurs... but he didn't realize that I had seen these creatures a long time ago...
I was helping out the pirates of Skull Island, at least one of them by the name of Agnes, and she had stumbled upon a place in the depths of the Blood Shoals where these creatures had emigrated too. They mentioned a dark-haired witch speaking lies, and I realized that only one woman fit that description...
Morganthe.
This evil sorceress, we had learned, had been a student of Ravenwood a long time ago. From the way she acted and how she had attacked Gamma, it seemed like she had a grudge against the school. I have a feeling that the only way a student could leave Ravenwood with such hatred was if she had... been let go in shame. It was the only explanation.
Me and my friends were going to learn more and explore Azteca together...
The strange thing was... my friends, Christina Dawnblade and Sierra Fairyfriend, are gone.
I don't think they are dead, but I had informed them of my last time with Ethan, Sierra's former boyfriend. Since then, rumors had bubbled about something terrible happening to him and he was now... late. (In other words, dead.)
They disappeared shortly thereafter, with a note and the key to Azteca that they got. It only said this: "Investigation of our own. Check Azteca out."
I have taken the key that the Quetzal gave Sierra and have visited Azteca as they have asked. The place is worse than I had expected. It is a savage realm shadowed by a comet that makes me shake with fear... a world filled with undead. I sense foul necromancy... but could Morganthe have the power to raise so many undead? No...
I have my suspicions, but I will not verify them yet. However, I know that to solve this mystery I need an ally, and with all my allies gone, I need to make a new ally, just one. One strong enough...
I have since found such an ally. Her name is Katherine Ravenpetal, but everyone called her Katie. She is a promising student of Ice. One of Mma Greyrose's fold! Yes, she will do... those who study the ways of The Cold are said to be very buff and have armor that can withstand any attack.
But there is a problem... she is still a young student just fresh out of Wizard City, and has just gotten the keys to Krokotopia. I have decided to extend my friendship to her and aid her in her studies so that she can be at my power level.
New Entry, December 17:
I have apologies for not writing after that last entry. I have been too busy to write. Katie... she is very strong but her power is weak. She needs me to carry her through battles because she spends Crowns like water and is unlike Sierra, who conserves her money. She barely squeaked by her spell quests and I have had to be there for her to do most of the damage to our foes, as her spells are too weak. However, I have supported her with buffs as I have spells that can improve both Storm and Ice. That is neither here nor there as we've solved the mystery of Azteca and... well... it's time to explain.
This is the story of our adventures through Azteca and beyond, into the heart of darkness.
Author's Note: Yes, I made a dark-skinned Necromancer, I am not racist. The Sorcerer is on Grace's account and so she is helping craft Monstrodomes. I had hoped to make a rogue's gallery of Monstrodomes for each world but I can kiss making the Monstrodome at all goodbye because 50 Brass is rarer to farm than the ultimate gear from Darkmoor. Please, KingsIsle, I love Monstrology but please create a %@*#*%@ Transmute Brass spell NOW!!!!! *angry scream*
This blog won't be updated for a long time. I will try to play every day and get through The Spiral but I am busy working on better real-life housing so I don't have all the time in the world. As of this first post, I have gotten Katie Ravenpetal, my Thaumaturge, to Level 18 and am in Krokotopia now.
The next post will start the story of Katie's Azteca adventures. Ciao for now! ^_^
