I bid you farewell.

January 11th, 2011 · No Comments · Finding genesis

Jatkai left this morning. I thanked him profusely for having saved my life, and he reciprocated his thanks for my having nursed his concussion after the quake. After a few awkward pauses, I told him that perhaps he’d be better off not being in the path of whatever whirlwind it is that seems bent on […]

Shattered.

I can’t even begin to describe the horrors. Our world has been shattered, and so too, has my chance of a new life.

Blood ties.

November 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

My father and I have always been at odds. I am sure that he forever curses the day that I first uttered a word, for not long after that, I learned to vocalize my disobedience. Father wasn’t deliberately oppressive or sadistic in his approach to raising my sister and I. We weren’t beaten, nor malnourished. It […]

Pained.

September 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

I have been in the village for days now, in a makeshift camp on the outskirts that houses hundreds of visitors and mercenaries. We begin the assault soon. I still haven’t seen my father or sister. Even after all these years, the thought of him still puts the fear inside of me. He made me: […]

Agony.

September 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Diary pages, Finding genesis

Rescued from death only to be tortured by my feelings? And here I thought I had spent the last decade cultivating a hard, hermetically sealed shell in which to place my heart! This place conjures up so many uncomfortable feelings. The ones I’d thought I’d buried long ago. I remember the ridicule, the derision, the […]

Brethren apparent.

September 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

Several days later, we arrive in Durotar. On the road from Northern Durotar, we came across a group. “Where are ya headin’?” “Sen’jin, sistah. ya be joinin’ us?” And so we walked together, setting out right after sunset. Night is falling, and yet we still walk. Eventually, we make it to the village. It looks […]

On the move.

September 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

Mischievous Loa, I can walk on my own. Comfortably. My ribs have finally healed, my hand is completely pain free, and I’m even walking briskly, much to Jatkai’s disbelief. “I heard ya Troll women can regenerate faster than us fellas, but this is ridiculous!” Oh, but I’ve never been one to stay knocked down for long.

Recovery.

August 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Diary pages, Finding genesis

Another day. Another test. Witchdoctor Zahb’bia pokes and prods me to see if my ribs have healed. I have come to remember his name, even though I vehemently hope that I will never be in the man’s care ever again. We will be leaving soon. I’m terrified. But I have come this far and almost died […]

Where am I?

July 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

I dreamed of a dusk that was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen. The light was blinding, but instead of burning and irritating my eyes, it warmed me to my very depths. I dreamed of the twilight of eternity. The very precipice one must dwell on before finally coming to an end. As […]

Regrets.

June 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Diary pages, Finding genesis

I wish we hadn’t fought. I wish I hadn’t said the things I said to him. I wish I hadn’t treated him with such callousness and contempt. I wish I’d listened to him. I wish I’d given us a chance. If I don’t live, I hope that he knows that I tried my hardest. In […]
