It has been some time since I have last written.

I had to do deep contemplation of why I fought, why I adventured, why I journeyed.

It was always in search of understanding, I see that now. I was trying to know this world, to unravel the mysterious all around us.

Our history is so disjointed, so at odds with itself.

I know now that there WAS a god. She died, long ago. Unlike the other Priests I do not entirely believe she was only benevolent. I suspect she was far more human than we would like to believe.

I... feel strongly... that she wanted what was best for the world. But I do not entirely know where that belief comes from. 

Through my studies of the present and the past I see that Magica is truly divine. Or at least, that is the best word for it.

Is it possible to be infused with a Divine energy and not be changed by it? So many treat it so casually, most using it the same way they would use a sword or a sharp rock.

Why was this gift given? 

And for the first time I must look towards the future. Where does this story lead?
