Throughout my observation and narration of our current session, I have been witness to a few abnormal phenomena.
An unexpected turn of events has never been reason for concern. Rather, it is a reason for study.
So, to better understand the tapestry we weave, I examined its stitching.
And what I found was not just a singular spontaneous thread, but an entire separate image embroidered into our work.
Worse still, these invasive lines threaten to deface it altogether.
The specifics are as follows:
After a discussion with Ellsee, I realized Arcjec has a significant gap in his memory. As you recall, the two of them were joined at the hip for sweeps... and yet, he holds her in no particular regard at present.
How can that be?
On the subject, I was recently witness to a moment in Ellsee's past that I had never seen before. It was thanks to Murrit that it was brought to my attention at all.
Some time ago, she conducted a thaumaturgical ritual. One with mortifying results.
Of course, I do not believe it was her intent to do harm — it appears she simply did not execute it correctly, and possibly tried to do something outside the scope of her ability and knowledge of the universal arts.
Regardless, it seems to have acted as a window, of sorts. A breach that allowed for unintended communication. And as I gazed upon the sights she was beholden to... suffice to say, his influence was radiating off the entire ordeal.
The nail in the metaphorical coffin was a recent conversation held between our resident dreamers of Derse. I overheard troubling information in regards to Serpaz and Occeus's dreamselves. Though Occeus's condition was vague, Serpaz's dreamself was described as oozing what I believe might have been an overwhelming amount of concentrated Doom.
Most concerning of all, the dreamers mentioned having had exchanges with me I've only the barest recollection of.
If what was said was true, then there can only be one culprit.
These are the actions of the Naught Father.
