My experimentation with alchemy and herbs has gone well. Already I
can make a variety of useful potions and mixtures that heal, empower,
and defend those who consume them. I have taken to consuming some of the
more powerful mixtures myself, as they better attune my magic and
energize me. This is similar to feeding on magic, and I am very familiar
with the way I feel after consuming these potions.
I did
have a minor setback this evening...well, more than minor actually. I
was picking new flowers that I had not seen before when I encountered a
plant that I now know is called Dreaming Glory. The plant shot pollen
directly into my face when handled, and created an intoxicating effect. I
vaguely remember being frightened, and calling Jazari Mechavolt on his
hearthstone to help me. I know he arrived because....well...
I
think I may have affected him with the flower too, but...I awoke next
to him, my arms around him. I believe I slept next to him for some time,
as my spell components and other effects were scattered around me. I
was fully clothed though so the gnome clearly has a sense of honor.
I
must admit that when I awoke before him, I spent some time studying him
and simply listening to him breathe. It was a strange experience, as I
have always slept alone for hundreds of years. I felt...warm, and
secure. It was very strange, especially considering the gnome is my
enemy. I suppose this goes back to the feeling I have for my fellow
mage.
I hope I did not put him into any feelings of
discomfort when he awoke to find me leaning on him. I'm sure he thinks
me ridiculous, but is kind enough to remain silent on the subject. That
is very well, as I think it would be cruel to be mocked for feelings I
cannot help. I'm sure I will move past them in time....yet, I don't
know....it was a very nice experience today.
I think I will retire for the evening. This topic makes my head spin and my heart pound when I try to think on it.
